Arms Conference Receives the Completed Program for Naval Reduction. “sye” lOiiOE NOT limited Chita Delegates Reveal Alleged Fran- co-Japanese Secret Alliance—Allied Suprem e Council at Cannes— Bit ter Debate Over Irish Treaty in Dail Eireann. By EDWARD W. PICKARD its work almost completed, VV yo far as it can be, the arma ment conference at Wasliington met in plenary session at the close of the week and heard a report of the pro gram for naval reduction and limita tion as completed by the naval com mittee and its corps of experts. The treaty for a ten-year naval holiday to be entered into by the five principal powers of the world was presented, together with the technical details for carrying it out. As finally decided upon, the agree ment is not so drastic in its plan for reductions as was proposed by the American delegation, but the fact re mains that it puts an end, for a dec ade, to the navy building race that threatened to swamp the taxpayers of several nations, and it is admittedly a great step toward world peace. Modifications of the original plan re sulted in slight increases in the ton nage limits, and it is asserted these changes really strengthen relatively the Aineidcan navy. For the United States, Great Britain, .Tapan, France and Italy, the capital ship ratio is 5-o-3-l.67-l.G7. The tonnage allowed America and Brirain is raised from 500,000 to 525,000 each, and that of the others is proportionately in creased. France is permitted to build a limited number of capital ships dur ing the ten-year period, and Great Britain may construct two 37,000-ton vessels of the Hood type. France won out in her contentions concerning submarines and auxiliary craft. No limit is placed on the aggregate ton nage of these vessels, but their max imum size and gun caliber is fixed. A limit of 10,000 tons each is put on aux iliary ships and light cruisers, and their guns are not to exceed eight inches. The ratio for airplane car riers is to be 5-5-8-2.22-2.22 and the maximum tonnage for the two largest powers 135,000. These vessels are limited to a tonnage of 27,000 each, and their gun caliber is restricted. American naval officers, it is as serted, rejoiced over Japan’s success ful demand that she be allowed to re tain the dreadnaught Slutsu and France’s persistence regarding subma rines and auxiliary ships. In both cases the necessary adjustments re dounded to the relative strengthening of America’s navy. It retains two al most completed dreadnaughts, and it will have almost as great a tonnage in submarines as it first proposed in stead of only 60,000 tons, the point to which the American delegates were about to recede when Great Britain asked the abolishing of the U-boat. The British announced that if France had a great subm a rine fleet, they m u st be perm itted to build as many auxiliary cruisers as th e y w ished, and it is now agreed America will eq.ual the British fleet in every respect. At this writing there appears to be little doubt of the approval by the conference of the Root resolutions de claring the employment of submarines against commerce as piracy, and Mr. Balfour’s amendment under which the banning of submarine operations against merchantmen shall become im mediately effective as among the five major powers. T APAN and China, through their delegates, resumed the interrupted ‘•conversations” over the Shantung is sue, but so far as is now known they did not make notable progress toward an agreement. The arrangements for payment by China for the Kiaochow- T.sinaiifu railway were still the stick ing point. .Tfipiin persists in her de mand that Chine.se borrow the neces- >ai.v funds from Japanese bankers, which, as has been explained, would mean a continuation of Japanese con trol of the road’s operation. It was hoped, however, that this Shantung matter would be settled early this week through the “good offices” of Messrs. Iluglies and Balfour. '^ I I E delegation from the Far East- A ern republic, not being given a hearing by the conference, created .something of a sensation by giving to the pres.'.i oopie.s of alleged secret notes and treaties revealing a military and political alliance between Ifrance and Japan for the purpose of establishing Japanese domination in Siberia and stabilizing French interests in Russia, and to frustrate America’s policy in the Far East. The documents were declared to be fabrication.s, by both the French and the Japanese delega tions, and the United States govern ment stated it has no official infor mation concerning any such agree ment. But it is asserted there are in the file.s of the State department re ports from American observers in a general way confirming the allegations of the Chita representatives, and there is talk of a senatorial investi gation into the Siberian situation. Later in the week the Chita dele gates produced another document, this time an alleged treaty between the Japanese army in Siberia and Rus sian officers connected wdth Semenoff, anti-Bolshevist leader, whereby the Japanese agreed to support with arms and money an offensive against the C’hita republic. Baron Kato, in re ply, admitted that a former Japanese cabinet paid Semenoff a certain amount of cash to keep him in the field. O EXATOR IIIRxVM JOHNSON in an ^ address in San Francisco set forth in considerable detail his objections to the Pacific peace treaty agi*eed to by the arms conference. He e.specially dislikes Article 2, which he thinks as l)cul as Article 10 of the League of Nations. Senator McNary of Oregon thinks the treaty offers a fine chance for settling the Philippines problem and when it comes before the senate he will offer this reservation: “The United States agrees within two years to grant complete independ ence to the peopl® of the Philij^pine islands, provided the high contracting parties will obligate themselves to re spect the political independence and territorial integrity of the Philippine nation,” T^RANCE’S attitude in the Washing- ton conference had its reflection in the conference of the allied premiers in Cannes, France, for the purpose of discussing German reparations and the economic welfare of Europe gen erally. Lloyd George went there ap parently with the intention of making the improvement of Franco-British re lations dependent on Briand’s consent to plans for the economic rehabili tation of Germany and Russia. Briand and his staff were pledged to make France’s reconstruction the basis for the rebuilding of Europe, but they f(jund that they had the full support of Belgium alone. In an interview in the London Daily Mail Briand pro posed a defensive alliance between Great Britain and Prance, and in a preliminary talk with Lloyd George he suggested that such an alliance was the only way in wffiich the two na tions could avoid a controversy over submarines and naval strength. I t was said the British premier rebuffed the suggestion, and there is good reason to believe the British public would not stand for an alliance until Prance has made considerable concessions, es pecially concerning Germany and Russia. Ambassador Harvey is present at the Cannes conference, hut only in the capacity of official observer, for the United States has no vote and has taken the position that it will en ter European affairs only when its interests directly are involved. While not concerned in the plans for pay ment of the reparations money or for a moratorium for Germany, the United States is decidedly interested In the proposal of a consortium for the re construction of central and eastern Europe because it involves the matters of markets and raw materials. The meeting of the allied supreme council was opened on Thursday. ■pi EBATE on the Irish treaty was al- most overshadowed in Dublin by the kidnaping, presumably by support ers of De Yalera, of A. B. Kay, cor respondent of the London Times, and by a hut discussion in the Dail Eireann concerning the freedom of the press, provoked by an attack on the Free man’s Journal because it advocated ratification of the pact. The corre spondents united in a demand that Mr. Kay be released and that a public apology f(»r his kidnaping be made in the Dail Eireann. The strength of the opposition to the peace treaty in the Dail Eireann w h en it rea.ssembled after the holidays v,‘as unexpected. De Valera, Countess Markiewicz and many others denounced the pact bittei’ly and were not at all abashed by the arguments of its sup porters. On Wednesday De Valera issued a proclamation to the “People of Ireland” and also circulated copies of the “Document No. 2” shorn of several of its clauses. This latter was De Valera’s proposed alternative pact, and a fierce debate at once arose over whether it should be considered as an amendment to the treaty and voted on first, as De Valera wished, or whether a vote should first be taken on the treaty and, if it were unfavor able, then on the alternative. In the course of the row De Valera shouted that he was “going to move this amend ment at my own time and in my o^vn way,” and when reminded this was a matter for the chair to decide he hotly retorted: “I am the president here and I am going to make my own rules of procedure in my own way and at my own time.” The alternative is not vastly dif ferent from the treaty arranged in London. It provides that the legisla ture, executive and judicial authority of Ireland shall be derived solely from the people of Ireland ; that for the pur pose if common concern Ireland shall be associated with the states of the British empire, with rights, status and privileges in no respect less than those states, and that for the purposes of the association Ireland shall recognize his Britannic majesty as head of the association. Most of the other terms are similar to those of the treaty. ' I ■'HE death of Senator Boies Penrose of I’ennsylvanta not only deeply grieved his many friends and admirers. It also caused considerable dismay among those who do not approve of the so-called agricultural bloc in the senate. For Penrose was chairman of the senate finance committee and if the system of seniority is adhered to his successor in that place of power will be Senator McCumber of North Dakota, one of the charter members of the bloc. Penrose also was recognized as the leader of the con servative element in the senate, and in this position he is succeeded by Senator Watson of Indiana. Gov. W. C. Sproul of Pennsylvania was urged by some Republicans to re sign and accept appointment to fill out Penrose’s unexpired term, but this he declined to do.

My wife is generally about!” important to all Women Readers of this Paper Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it. Women’s complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease. If the kidneys are not in a healthy con dition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased. You may suffer pain in the back, head ache and loss of ambition. Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-1 ble and may be despondent; it makes any one so. But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy heeded to overcome such conditions. Many send for a sample bottle to see what Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder _ medicine, will do for them. By eiiclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.
