Service.) i Written Epecially for the I. N. S.) NEW YORK, Nov. IS. It is to be h.ptd Secretary Hughes will not lose sight of the immense advantage pivep him by the open methods initiated at. the first session ot trie conierence. The bright light of publicity will' rive out the slimy snake of intrigue and self-interest. Wj want Hughes' in the open not others in whom we have not the same confidence behind closed doors. The questions before the conferenceare to be decided by. great peoples who have as much right to hear the discussions affecting their future, their lives and their fortunes and those of their children and children's children as they have to public sessions of the courts ani it has Ion,; been considered In every land that publicity in court procedure spells Justice.

The Swswer he received wan the subdued clatter of knives, forks and spoons, interjected now end then by a fparally muffled exclamation of satisfaction as the speaker sought to voice his pleasure at some delectable morsel and swallow said morsel at the same time. The occasion was the victory feast of the Hammond police baseball team nonbeatable in the Calumet district. There were a number of collaborators in making the affair a success.

T I TAKES PLACE An intensive campaign for raising funds with which to conduct relief work among needy families of Ham mond win oe set on loot at a mass meeting which will be held this even ing at the Hammond Chamber of Com merce rooms. The meeting will start at eight o'clock. Mayor Dan Brown has, been giving this problem his personal attention for some time and he holds that making preparations for meetings the calls of the distressed this winter now ranks first in Importance of the city's prob lems. Every day new cases of want come to the attention of the mayor. Fewpeople except those in close touch with the situation realize the conditivns that exists in many homes and which are bound to become worse and more numerous as the severity of the weather increases. There are children, unable to attend school because of lack of shoes and clothing. Many other little ones go to school undernourished. There are homes where the only heat is furnished by the cook stoves at the meal time because of meagre supply of fuel. Daily such cases are being reported to the mayor and charitable organizations. And the word generally comes from outsiders, neighbors of the needy families who have stumbled on the facts accidentally. The sufferers are loathe to make their distress known until dire necessity forces them. Realizing that the task is a big one the Mayor has enlisted all of Hammond's civic organizations in the work. It must be planned and handled systematically so that there will not be duplication of effort in some cases and neglect in others. The plan, as roughly outlined, calls for a fund of about $2,500 to start with. It is hoped that at 2,500 or 3.000 persons can be signed up to donate $1 a month for six months. Some may contribute more than $1 and a few may feel that they cannot spare that much but all sums will be welcome. The city will divided into districts and canvassed thoroughly for funds just as in the war drives. Committees to con duct this work will be named tonight. At the same time an organization for distribution will be necessary. Several investigators kvll be kept In the field all winter. watchlsg for cases of need and seeing that help is given only where essential. The police department will aid greatly In this respect, as usual. The mayor wants every citizen who possibly can do so to be present tonight and aid in starting the movement.

Judge Gary said: It 'seems to bo generally conceded that the business conditions throughout the United States for the lost slx months have been perceptibly and steadily, if slowly, growing better. In the steel industry the volume of business has more than doubled in the last ninety days. Although profits as a rule, have been little or nothing, due to high costs and low prices.

Many Differences Exist Among Delegations As To Naval Policy

BY G FORGE R. HOLMES STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE WASHINGTON. Nov. IS. The thick haze of old world diplomacy settled down like a blanket today over the activities of the armament conference. The pace has been foot sin the meeting opened six days ago anl things have moved wi'h a supines never before equalled in internaM ,n V. gatherings of such, vast ir.i;-or ..i nee. The illness of Baron Shid.-hara. The Japanese ambassador and one of Japan's principal delegates, afforded a respite from the almo.-t constant contact of the diplomats for the pat week. The Baron's indisposition forced a postponement of the. s-ne -1-uled meeting of the full nino powots at which was to be taken up China's "declaration of Independence." ADMIRAL'S CmntUTTEE ?IK-ZT$. Delegation meetings and the continued session cf the "commute.-' i admirals" considering the anr'.ica,'.! - .1 of the Hughes naval program, wtre r.i today's program. There were Indications tdiv that tho. vit iting diplomats rahr vl' -r::-ed the respite afforded by the J.tprr.( a.nbasador's Illness. It affotds tv.f::i an opportunity for a general ciciklrif up. China's ambitious plan for her rehabilitation 1s ono thrir. requires d ?; study. This far, from the eatitiovs utt'-rs.nces of the spokesmen f r V.t various powers. The powers have re-, "eived the Chinese proposals as follows: . The Vnlted States Genera! approve! of the entire , prosram. The British EmpSr Cautious approval of most of tha procrran "i t principle." And a willingness to accept tho jprog'-am as a basis for discussion.

Japan Cautious acceptance ct the proposals "as a basis for discussion." Is understood to be reconciled to giving up Shantung. But is prepared to resist efforts to dislodge her in Mongolia and Mmchurla. Also insists that her geographical propinquity entitles her to "special consideration" in China, as regards obtaining raw materials, outlet for excess ia population, etc. Italy Having: no particular Interests in China, aside from financial interests, is willing to follow the lead of other powers, and inclines toward the altruistic policy of the Unite! States. jtAVAti rnoposAi.s n. Wriile the diplomats pondered China's case within their own quarters today. The naval experts continued to struggle, with the naval proposals. Progress has not been rapid in the adjustment of the conflicting views of Aiuurican, Japanese and British experts. On the contrary, there were unmistakable indications today that little has been in reality accomplished. The American experts are steadfastly insisting upon the terms laid down in the Hugh's' program. The estimates were made with such, care, the Americans contend, that no room waa left for "trading." Briefly, summarized, tha Japanes? and British objections are: JAPAN'S CLAIMS. Japan Believes site i3 entitled to seventy per cent strength in capital ships. Instead of sixty. Also believes that in certain auxiliary ships she 1 entitled to "practical enuality" with Great Britain and America. Great Britain Objects to the American submarine proposals and the auxiliary ship allowance, particularly in light cruisers. Is understood to be reconciled to the ten year naval holiday proposal, after first objecting. It was learned today that no progress at all ha.-i been made in adjusting the divergent British and American views concerning submarines.. The British experts, keenly recollecting the havoc wrought by German submarines during the war on her vast merchant marine, want the Hughes submarine program cut- exactly in half, and the complete abolition cf the giant cruiser submarines of th.i "Deutscbland" type. Tho RriM.sh contend that such weapons an: "inhuman." I . . (HAnCES nrOXSISTFATY. The Americans, also keenly recollecting British vulnerability to submarines, contend that America. conceded British preponderance n capital ships, and that equal submarine tonnage is necessary to equalis-' the flcts In fighting efficieney. Thy MgiiT'O that a good submarine defense offsets the British superiority in nthrf vessels. The American experts also say that the British opositinn is Inconsistent regarding the inhumanity aspect of the matter. As Britain wants to bar submarines because '' their "inhumanity" but is not so solicitous concerning the "inhumanity'' or aircraft that also miht be u:-ed as a weapon to attack defenseless towns and cities. . Japanese experts are understood to be "on the fence" between the two submarine viewpoints. The Jt.:nso are inclined to favor the Artarican submarine program. For they, too, have long coast, lines to defend. But they are also inclined to side with the British as a matter of general policy.
