SECOND PARLEY MAY CONSIDER LAND FORCES Naval Reduction Agreement to Be Embodied in Formal Pact Between Powers. By H. WILSON HARRIS. Diplomatic Correspondent of the London Daily News. WASHINGTON, Not. 18.—Reduction of land armament will be very definitely broached lu the Washington conference before Premier Briand of France leaves Washington, though the evolution of a concrete scheme must be relegated to another end more comprehensive conference. Meanwhile it Is Intended that a naval reduction agreement shall be embodied In a formal treaty, which would have to pass the American Senate by a twothirds majority. But not even the hopes raised by disarmament prospects .dislodge the Far Eastern question from its central part In the picture. CHINA STILL 810 QCESTION. “What Is to be done to establish China?” America may conceivably have a further aurplse to spring here, but that Is unlikely. What needs doing for China cannot be done from without. The possibility of coference action at the moment Includes a Shantung settlement involving probably withdrawal of British and French from Wei-Hai-Wol ar.d Kwang Chow Huen, respectively, abolition of the spheres of influence and the further development of a consortium to Insure the application of loans to purely productive purposes. Such a program, if coupled with dissolution of the Anglo-Japanese alliance, would lay a heavy strain on Japanese good will. Bat the Japanese representatives here have created ave-y favorable impression and the atmosphere generated by the conference may count for much. NO GROUND FOR PESSISM. There is no ground for pessism, but China undoubtedly still remains the crux of the whole conference problem. The question has already been approached by the Far East committee, which sat for the first time on Monday. It consists of all the members of the conference, the proceedure question having been solved by the decision that the whole body of delegates shall sit privately as a committee and publicly as a conference. This applies to the Far East, which all nine powers are to dls enss. On the disarmament committee only the American, British, Japanese, French and Italian delegates sit.—Copyright, 1921. by International News Service. CHINA OUTLINES HER INTERESTS (Continued From Pare One.) adjustment of the Issues In controversy. Great Britain Is not to Insist on a renewal of the Angio-Japanese alliance if her delegates can be shown another way ont without a repudiation of her most honorable obligations. She would regard a trl-partite agreement as the best means of settlement. She fails to comprehend America’s political objections to such a policy. It is unlikely her delegates now in Washington heard in the private confereace rooms of the Senate yesterday afternoon those Tery vigorous threats that any such program for America would result In a Senate uproar that would persuade Woodrow Wilson his encounter with that body was mere child's play. That talented trouble maker Mr. Borah of Idaho, may be connted as a certain leader of the opposition to any such proposal MOVEMENTS OP JAPANESE IS GENUINE PCZZI.E. The moves of tne Japanese since the earliest days of the conference discussion have been a genuine Oriental puzzle. Diplomatic Washington has been frank In its acknowledgment of doubt as to the underlying causes. All manner of speculation and gossip has been wafted to official quarters. It has been suggested, for example, that e real showdown between Great Britain and the United States was the inevitable outcome of this conference. It is possible, even to hear an almost brutally frank exposition of America's attitude has reached the London Foreign Office. It Is said Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and his warm personal friend, Arthur J. Balfour, have been In conference. Whether the conversation occurred In Mr. Lodge's attractive library on Massachusetts avenue or In Mr. Balfour's apartments Is not revealed. But, It is urged, the chief of the British delegation has learned the United States wants to know what is meant by the speeches of politicians who talk “hands across the sea” at public functions and play a vastly different game in their private relations. There are suggestions also that Japan is not at all pleased over the conduct of her allies, the British. Tokio doe., not relish the universal criticism of the Shantung award, at the moment Great Britain and France were “getting theirs” in the Near East, taking over acreage, peoples, oil concessions, trade opportunities and such, without world disapprovaL What will come of it all remains for the Bewions which began today to determine. In the best informed quarters in Washington the view prevails that the real and only obstacle to a limitation of armament program will be approached when the conference takes up the issues of the Pacific and the Far East. The calendar calls for the first discussion of these problems. That opens the way for a statement of America's "if.” Great Britain stated hers yesterday. Mr. Balfour cited th® economic consequences of the heart of the empire with its Insular status so utterly dependent on the grand fleet. Japan put in her reasons for “national security.” Both were pleased over the smooth phrases of good will and pacific Intent. The galleries enjoyed their speeches. Now comes the test. Official and diplomatic Washington has so agreed. DELEGATES MET AS COMMITTEE OF WHOLE. The full conference met not as the conference, but as a committee. It was the committee of the whole conference. The decision of the chief delegates in arriving at a decision to meet as a committee In secret has been interpreted. An official explanation disclosed the view of the chief delegates that far better understanding and a great deal more progress could be brought about by conversations which men were assured were not to be heralded throughout the world. The actual decisions will be arrived at in public, whenever the discussions of the committee have progressed to a point where it is thought matters are in such shape as to Justify a public glimpse of them. The procedure differs only slightly from that of the peace conference at Paris. There was a session yesterday afternoon of all the delegates of the United States, Great Britain, Japan, France and Italy, sitting ns a committee on the limitation of armament. Following that meeting an official statement announced that the question of naval reductions had been referred to a subcommittee composed of Assistant Secretary Roosevelt for the United States: Admiral Lord Beatty for Great Britain: Vice Admiral De Bon for France, Admiral Kato for Japan and Vice Admiral Acton for Italy. At the suggestion of Mr. Balfour, Colonel RooseTelt was made chairman of the subcommittee. The official statement said the subcosmutlcj of technical advisors was “named to take :_...wdiate rd-

MABEL WHEELER HAS TIME WITH FIRE FIGHTERS (Continued From Page One.) i waiting to tell him what they were go- | ing to do for the city, I unobtrvsively made my departure. And I had a jolly little ipornlng, though. Danny was there. Dany O'Donnell, you know, the Yiddish firefighter that can slide down a rope like a flash, | and Mat Maloney, and Jimmie Cox, good | old scouts, too. But I fell for anew ; one this morning. Fred Fries, with a ; complexion like peaches and cream cud a tongue oiled with the blarney of old Ireland Itself, either real or assumed, had an Informal reception in the Coliseum before the show was started. Chief Harry Fulmer was stage manager with State Fire Marshal Miller aorta running the whole works. The fire college being duly assembled, a little melodrama was staged under the chiefs direction, with Danny coming in strong on the leading role. The setting was a flimsy looking temporary wooden structure which was completed after the , crowd gathered. The idea was to run i ladders of various descriptions up the building, on which the actors ascended, and then ropes were festooned over the sides on which the heroes slid down bearing fire victims. I The chief suggested that I'd make a nice victim being light and easily ' handled. He tentatively remarked that too, I wouldn’t be hurt as badly if i were a right heavy person and slghlng|ly undoaded In a premature manj ner by a discouraged fireman, which lnj spired me to enthuse over the idea—not. ; lie actually had the belt on me after : talking me into a helpless state of coma, while gazing at me in an insinuating inesmeriee way. I “Don't worry,” he said dreamily. “WeTl get the account of the meeting in the • prper if you’re hurt. I got my car J there to get you to a doctor In a hurry ! too. Oh Tie don't often have an accident but—.” I “By the way your life's isn’t it?” he inquired suddenly. “No, I haven’t a cent of insurance. I had Intended to subscribe for the Times and get one of those dandy policies, but just overlooked it before I started out this morning. “Unbuckle the belt, Freddie," eemmanded the chief. “Why didn’t you tell me the fatal tfuth sooner? Any citizen who goes around these days without a Times accident policy; these days of j crashes, smashes and ashes, may rightfully be suspected of suffering from cerebral psychosis. Why, I couldn’t be hired to be without one of those Times accident policies. I've bought 'em by the dozens and give ’em to my sisters, to my cousins and my aunts. And you. a Times employe, too. Tut! Tut! Tut! We'll release h®r. Freddie, when you take out a policy. Why give us another call.” t Thus it was that I came to be released. : The cast in the rescuing drama, the I chief included were Fred Fries, James Cox, W. C. Sheets, W'lliam Metzler, Howi ard Adkins, Phil Adkins, Danny O'Donnell, Charlie Milender, Otto Rugens’eln, Dan Merriman, Irving Fos--ati, Mat Maloney, Arthur Rosemeyer, Chief John C. Loueks and Jacob lli 1 kene, chief of the fire prevention bureau; W. Curran, supervisor of the salvage corps was also i here and there. After rescuing Danny by the fiftyj seven varieties of fire tactics, and sliding all the bunch down the ropes and boost- ; ing 'em up the ladder, a little hose : stretching display was put on. Later a | luncheon was served at the hotel In the fair grounds for the performers and 1 visitors. More work together with a lecture or two contributed the afternoon : program. Another exhibition will be : held tomorrow morning. A banquet to--1 morrow noon at the Claypool will conclude the two-day firemen’s convention, j Tonight the fire congress will meet at ! the Salvage Corps. — Indiana National Names 3 Directors Three new directors of the Indiana National Bank were elected today to succeed three members of the board who died recently.

Asphalt Plant Will Support Street Work The city asphalt plant will be operated and improved street patching continued as long as weather permits. Street Commissioner A. O. Meloy announced today.

Dick Miller, president of the City Trust | Company, was named by the board of directors of the Indianapolis Community , Chest today to head the organization's ! annual campaign for funds, which will l open in the near future. Mr. Miller will begin at once to work out the campaign machinery. Members of the executive committee asked particularly that the public be Informed that the money collected goes only for the charity work done by the various organizations benefited and none Into capital account. Tho amount of the funds to be collected and the exact date when the campaign will begin have not been determined. The weather this winter will be a factor in the amount of money needed, it was said, but the Community Chest hopes to be prepared for any emergency. A meeting of representatives of the organizations to receive funds from the Community Chest was held this afternoon at the Claypool Hotel.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16,1921.

NEW NATIONAL COMMANDER OF LEGION IS HERE (Continued From Page One.) of-gnn-on-wheels.” He Js also a “gogetter” and a “two-fisted he man,” those who got close enough to watch him work, decided. Indianapolis will have plenty of opportunity to get well acquainted with the new national figure in the affairs of exservice men, for he will spend practically all of his time here when he Is not traveling on legion business. “I’ve got to live somewhere,” he remarked with a smile. “I'll probably be living ‘out of here.’ ” The commander hails from Mason City, lowa, where ho has been a banker, Headquarters people concluded at noon today that he must have been just about the whole town. IS BACHELOR AND HANDSOME. Tho commander is 32 years of age, and handsome* and a bachelor. Being all three of these has proven a source of embarrassment already. Pflrt of the immense accumulation of letters and telegrams before him are “mash notea.” The commander refused to talk about them and glowered at his subordinates when they humorously referred to them before newspapermen. He likewise refuses to talk about the exploits which brought him those nine decorations, eleven citations and a wound stripe. He appeared to be too busy getting ready t.o push tniough the tremendous program for ex-service men which the national convention or dered lilm so put over. PLANS CENSUS OF DISABLED VETS. One of the things which Commander MaeXider had his men working upon today was the formation of plans for the taking of a nation-wide census of disabled veterans, their families and their condition. This information will bo used in presenting the claims of disabled veterans before legislative bodies and njso will form the basis of plans for the dissemination of Christmas cheer by legion posts throughout tho country. There will be more about this Christmas cheer plan later, Mr. MacNtder said. LEGION TO BE KEPT CLEAN AND STRONG. What he has in mind for the legion right now is best expressed by the statement he issued at the close of the convention at Kansas City, the legion leader said. This statement was as follows t “The American Legion mint bnlld Itself so big and fine and strong, and keep Itself so clean and straight and American that when It neks for certain tilings—legislation for ex-sersice men and women and policies In their behalf—our communities will feel that If the legion Is for a thing It mnst be right. “With that responsibility to onr country and to every man and women who wore our country's uniform In the World War we start anew legion year with pride in the legion’s pnst accomplishments, ambitious to serve and to keep serving to fulfill the great obligations before tis. “This convention has outlined four great Issues to fight for, law and order, immediate relief for the disabled, Americanism and adjusted compensation and we shall fight for them.” WILL LOOK AFTER DISABLED. In addition, he remarked that the legion is going to try its best this coming year to see that disabled veterans are taken care of. Anew legislative committee is at work in Washington with instructions to put the legion program across, “and wo are going to fight it It out along this line,” declared the commander. “We're, going to see that the men who fought for their country get some sort of n stepping stone np to the same economic level as those who did not have to go enjoy. There will be no cessation until we get there.” “How nbout the compensation scrap?” he was asked. “ ’.Scrap!’ That’s Just what she is.” he replied, adding that tho legislative committee will enrry out the dictates of the national convention to tho best of its ability. INDIANA TO GET APPOINTMENTS. While he ploughed through his correspondence Mr. MacNider found time to give consideration to tho appointment of numerous committees. Several of these will be ready for announcement In a few da.vs. Ho has adopted tho policy of asking the approval of tho department commander of the State in which each prospective appointee resides before naming any committeeman. Indiana will get at least two important appointments, it was said. Cabinet Crisis Halts U. S.-Hunwary Treaty WASHINGTON, Nov. 16—A cabinet crisis in Budapest has delayed the ratification of the peace treaty between the United States and Hungary, Under Secretary of State Fletcher, announced today.

Arms Conference Close-Ups

BY MARLEN E. PEW. WASHINGTON, Nor. 16— Now we’ve come to diplomatic “pussyfooting” stage of the proceeding. The zealous advocates

of “open covenants openly arrived at,” are beginning to rise to the surface again with mild talk about the secrecy of committee negotiations. This comment Is not at all bitter as yet. The exigencies of the occasion are more apparent in fact than they were in theory so long as

the conference stedrers permit the public to know In general what is going on behind closed doors and If no commitment is made without open debate, carping criticism will not worry Hughes.

Mr. Hughes talked confidentially with the newspapermen, as usual, at the State Department yesterday afternoon, and promises to continue his customery group Interviewing throughout the conference. He answers questions quite freely and when he falls to answer he usually takes pains to explain why, In his opinion, tho best Interest of the country is served by temporary silence. Mr. Hughes is not quoted. His talks are merely to steer the reporters aright. President Harding also will continue his Tuesday and Thursday press conferences. He usually answers questions freely. He Is not quoted and his object Is to keep pubilo Information authoritative. When Mr. Balfour In his dry Jocularity congratulated Mr. Hughes on having kept his “secret” so well, a faint smile broke over the face of Henry Cabot Lodge that would have done honor to a Harvard touchdown. Tho Senator Is having his Innings. Among the nations participating in the conference is Portugal. She was invited, not presumably because of her army or her navy, but because of her interest In the Far Eastern question. Portugal has a foreign empire of colonies covering 938,261 square miles, but these dependencies are mainly In Africa, and It Is only four of those square miles that brings the delegation here. The little Islands of Macao at the mouth of the Canton River, Inhabited by some 70,000 Chinese and 250 Portuguese soldiers, have a trade worth about $t,000,000 a year and they give Portugal a vote on the momentous Chinese question soon to be opened at the green table. The foreign embassies, as you know, are foreign soil. The Volstead act does not apply. They are as oalses In a desert, assuming, of course, that the recent bootlegging raids herd have had a lasting effect, which Isn't entirely true. But the embassies are popular. One hears the tinkle of cubes of Ice suspended In “nlch and alch,” by day and the pops of silvered corks by night. The diplomats ere generous hosts, too American report-

•ers describe “Saki” as something like Rhine wine served hot. The Japanese gt along famously with it, but the American guest vows it contains hidden powers that make curbstones appetizing. The Right Honorable Arthur J. Balfour is 73. There is pure carmine in his cheeks, his gray hair Is soft and silky, he stands erect and In his manner there Is gentle dignity and winning amiability. Sir Beerbohm Tree has described him as a man “calm in crises and unfussed In victory.” Diplomacy is uniformed. Sometimes it takes on gold braid, buttons, swords, white feather cockades, but more often It is the frock or cutaway coat, striped trousers, spats, pearl gray tie, winged collar and shiny square-top hat. Rotund diplomats appear to suffer. Secretary Hughes’ whiskers are unusually aggressive in appearance. They stick up. But he Is the soul of courtesy. He speaks rather sharply and is all for "getting on.” He is one of the tallest men In the conference. i M. Vlvianl, who sits with Briand, is also a Socialist. In Washington he is known to have a habit of wandering the streets at night and odd hours of the day. He appears to be Interested In human beings who live In alleys as well as those who live on boulevards and avenues. “Isn’t it possible,” asked a British newspaper correspondent, approaching the conference hall, “to get here without being menaced by a soldier carrying a bayonet?” The answer is "No.” The War Department is policing the scene and the United States Regular Soldier with a gun takes orders on Seventeenth* street as seriously as he does on a battlefield. In the darker corners of all public buildings, secret service men are watching every passerby. OPEN BIDS FOR ROAD CONTRACT. Bids were opened by the State highway commission today for the grading of about two and one-half miles of the National road west of Greencastle.

$17,000 IS ADDED TO SEWER COST DUE TO DELAYS

Delays in the construction of the FiftySixth street and Westfield main road ; sewer beneath the canal at Fifty-Sixth : street probably will cost the city about j $17,000 over the original contract price, figures submitted to the board of public works by the Sheehan Construction company today show. The delay was due to failure of the board of public works to provide a right of way across the canal and a i change in specifications made necessary by insistence ot the Indianapolis Water ; Company that the sewer pipe under the i canal be of a type that will make impossible the pollution of the canal wa- • The Sheehan Construction Company I was held up about two months by the ] controversy.

whlch would bring the total charge to more than $20,000. A credit of approximately $3,000 is due the city for money which the contractor saved by the resale of materials bought for the original type of constructional bringing the net extra charge the contractor estimates to about $17,000. This was something of a shock to the board. The contractor, while the controversy over the change In specifications was in progress, offered to do the work for a flat extra price of SIO,OOO. The board refused and the cost plus basis finally was agreed upon. If the board Is compelled to accept the contractor’s figures the city will have lost $7,000 by the board’s refusal to accept the first offer. The board refused to grant a permit to the Jose-Balz Realty Company to cut a curb in Txventy-Eighth street between New Jersey street and College avenue for a private drive Into a garage, erected over the protest of neighbors.
