AGREEMENT IS NEAR ON NAVAL ISSUES
AT BIG DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE
* -FAR EAST SOLUTION ALSO EXPECTED
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22 (By The Associated Press).—
Opinions have been exchanged among the arms delegates
with such unprecedented directness that with the confer
ence only ten days old some of the experienced diplomats
believe they can see almost with precision what it will and
will not be possible to accomplish.
Following the example of the American delegation in
laying down a sweeping naval reduction proposal at the
opening session, the representatives of the other powers
have put aside almost without exception, .the diplomatic in
direction that usually befogs such negotiations and have re
versed the dictum of tallyrand that language is given to,
diplomats ,;to conceal their thought.”
With the respective heads of the American, British and
♦ Japanese delegations working in direct personal conference,
almost daily on the naval reduction plan, there are indica
tions that an agreement on all but details is near. In the
same way the readiness of all the nations to commit them
selves to general principles relating to the Far East and the
outspoken objection of Japan to discussing details of that j
situation, seems to have quickened a conviction that adop
tion of a set of principles, like the four agreed upon yester
* day, will be the outcome of the Far Eastern end of nego
tiations.
M The whole question of land arma
ment appears to have been pretty
well settled by the frank presenta
tion of the case of France delivered
in Yesterday's plenary session by
Frontier Briand. The French states
man made it at once apparent that
definite readjustment of land forces
will be impossible in the view uf
France, because of existing cond!
Ilt i s which she believes ih.-saten
her and the whole world.
There remains the imps' ant
question of ft i tifications on which
there has been no expreseion, but
wireh may omt to the fo:e when
the delineation of principles. 1 elat
ing to the Far East, have gone as
tar as seems possible.
C'onsideratk it of the Far Eastern
problems was viewed today by the
delegates of the five nations, sitting
again as committee of the whole,
with the hope that further general
principles could be incorporated In
the agreement reached yesterday.
In the main, the discussions are
following the line of the "ten
pc tuts" suggested hy China, whose
di leg jus sre confident that in 'lie
end most of 'he point. V. ill have
been translated into actual agree
ment on policy.
Naval experts of the three major
powers still were reviewing today
the highly technical questions that
have arisen in connection with the
American proposals of immediate re
duction of the fleet and a ten-year
naval holiday. The British and Jap
anese officers appear to have found
some details of the plan which will
require treatment before there is fi
nal acceptance.
• The British have pointed out the
effect on the fleet the American pro
gram would have if the full meas
ure of Secretary Hughes' plan was
carried into execution. The plan
proposes absolute cessation of build
ing for ten years; the fixing of the
life of a battleship at twenty years,
replacement building to begin seven
teen years after the ship to be re
placed was completed, thus allowing
SOLDIERS
OK DOLLARS?
Europe cannot moblllr? both.
While she sticks to soldiers, she
cannot pay us $11,000,000,000 she
owes us.
While this money Is unpaid, you
have to pay It.
Money devoted to European arm
aments is withheld from European
commerce. Europe Is a normal mar
ket for more than half of America’s
exports. This market will stay closed
unless be present situation is
changed.
Cutting off this great tparket means
unemployment here. The direct loss |
to America through European arma
ments is clear.
The euro sought by a prostrate
business world Is limitation of arma
b merits. If no nation had the means
of sudden aggressive war. Interna
tional conflicts would pass.
Limitation of armaments is no
longer a sentimental dream It Is a
business necessity. another war
| would completely bankrupt the world |

three years for construction 01 me
new ship.
The twenty-year life rule is a nov
el one for other nations. Japan now
uses eight years as the life of capi
tal ships beginning replacement
within that period after a vessel is
I constructed. She has not as yet
worked out the eight-year cycle,
however, expecting with her present
building program to attain it in
l'lHS. Great Britain has no replace
m-nt schedule at present. Kor two
years prior f..> the war she layed
down five new nattleships a year and
for years previously for a year. Thu
nrogram was what maintained her
“two-pcpver standard,’’ noyv aban
doned. It did not contemplate a
twenty-year act i»o life for the ship.
Applying the proposed American
replacement rule to the ships to be
retained by each power under the
same program, Great Britain would
have in 1931 at the end of the ten
year naval holiday rvhen she mignt
begin renlacement. building, four
battleships that dated back twenty
two years to the time their keels
! wore laid, four going back twenty
j one years and four twenty years.
Her newest battleships, the Royal
Sovereign group of five, were laid
down ia 1914 and completed in 191G
under war pressure. They would.be
fifteen years from day of completion
and two years from the beginning of
replacement vtssels when the holi
day ended.
One of the four British battle
cruisers to be retained, the Tiger,
was laid down in 1911. She would
be ready for replacement also in
1931. The other three, the Hood,
Renown and Repulse, were“ built
during the war and designed for
action in the North Sea. Their
value, except for the special pur
poses they were built to serve in
the war, the prevention of German
raiders from shooting up the coast
of England, is problematical.
Applying the twenty-year life
rule and the holiday decade, to the
• ships America proposes to keep
eight of the eighteen would be
twenty years or more from the date

years old front completion • before
the shins to replace them were com
missi.mod. The newest American
ships, the Maryland, California.
Tennessee, Idaho and Mississippi,
however, still would have almost a
decade each of action life left when
the holiday ended.
In the same way in the Japanese
retained fleet the oldest battleship,
the Settsu, was laid down In 1911,
She would have only three years of
active life left when the holiday
ended. Four ptfhers of her six bat
tleships. the Fuso, Yamashiro. lciso
and Higua. would have from four
to five years to go before they were
scrapped or worn out anil replaced.
The Nagato alone would have a de
cade or more of serviceable life left
and the four battle cruisers, the
Kirishima, Haruna, Hi-Yii and
Kongo also would have only four or
five years before they would be
dropped from the lists and replaced.
Italy’s Position
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22 (By The
Associated Press)—Italy has no fear
of any of her European neighbors
and her sole desire is to have the
feelings aroused by the war sub
side and give way to the spirit of
peace, an official spokesman of the
Italian delegation to the arms con
ference said today following' the
lead given by Senator Sclianger. in
his speech yesterday before the con
ference. The spokesman declared
that Italy had not even awaited the
call for this conference to begin
the reduction of her great army
which now has been brought down
to less than 200,000 men. Moreover
the period of military’ service which
before the war was two and one
half years, already has been sub
stantially reduced, it was explain
ed. and probably, would be cut to
eight months.

Causes Some Opposition at
Meeting of the Board of
Aldermen
Introduction of a resolution au
thorizing the issuance of $5,000 in
emergency bonds to be used by the
streets and sewers committee of the
aldermen this year, was the signal
for the beginning of opposition by
Alderman John J. Clark, but was
useless as the measure was passed
over his "nav" vote. The money was
spent by the streets and sewers com
mittee to those who were employed
to clear the streets last winter fol
lowing the heavy snow storm which
tied traffic up for a few days. The
committee now needs this money to
meet Its outstanding bills.
The Republican members of the
board held that this was an emer
gency and the fifth ward alderman
maintained that such a case was not
foreseen. Mr. Clark declared that it
is unfair for the present douncil to
impose upon the incoming council
expenditures which the board is now
making. When the question was put
to a vote Alderman Clark alone op
posed it. although Alderman Thomas
Patten pasted on the question.
When a resolution was introduced
to appropriate $1,500 additional to
the Board of Health by means of a
bond issue Alderman Clark again
opposed the measure, declaring that
it would be "another legacy for the
incoming board.” He was alone in
his opposition all of the other board
members voting "aye" on the ques
tion. The additional money is to
pay the cost of visiting nurses and
clinics.
A resolution to renew temporary
improvement bonds amounting to
$1,335 for one month was laid upon
the table as the city treasurer was
not present to explain what this
money hud been spent for.
Improvement bonds amounting to
$617.83 were ordered issued in or
der to pay the increased salary of
the judge of the local district court
which has become mandatory upon
the city. The vote in favor of this
action was unanimous.
A contract with the Standard Oil
Company for 1.000 gallons of oil
was authorized. A resolution was
passed requesting the assessors on
street improvements to assess the
following: Barclay street grade. Pa
cific street sewer. Pearl and Me
chanic street sewers, Carson avenue
sewer, Cortlandt street sewer. Park

Investigation on Work of
Members of Election Bds.
Seems to be Likely
CARELESSNESS REPORTED
Only 3 of 20 Polls Counted
Democrats Gain in Recount
ing This Morning
NEW BRUNSWICK. Nov. 22—
An investigation of the competency
of memDers of the district election
boards in Perth Amboy seemed
likely today, when the County
Board of Elections started the sec
ond day of their recount of the
votes cast in that city at this year's
general election. The election board
has found several instances of care
lessneA or. neglect thus far and
only three of the twenty polls in the
city have been counted. Members;
of the boards have failed to prop-'
erly fill out the forms as required i
by law. signing their names and in-;
setting figures. The figures when I
inserted in some cases have failed
to compare favorably with the num-,
her of ballots and names in the poll
books and sheets.
Yesterday afternoon the second
poll of the fourth ward was count
ed. The election, board in this dis
trict reported the votes of the four [
candidates whose ballots are being
recounted, as follows: Galvin, 248;
Wester, 279; McGuire, 262; Hansen.
263. The county election board in
ccunting the votes gave Galvin 248
with eight referred; Wester 275
with three referred; McUuire 267
with seven referred and Hansen 262
with three referred.
If the ballots which were referred
to Judge Bergen lor decision are
allowed in this poll Galvin will have
gained nine votes while McGuire will
have gained a like number over Han
sen.
There werg 553 ballots in the two
boxes of the second poll, fourth ward |
consisting of 549 regular votes, three
voted by affidavit and one spoiled
ballot. The county board found that j
the district board had failed to num
ber the ballots properly as they were
strung.
In most of the cases the ballots re
ferred to the judge for decision were
those in which an “X" had been
placed after the name of the candi- j
date instead of ia the square pro- '
vided for this purpose. On one bal
lot the voter placed an "X" in the '
square and then wrote in the same |
candidate’s name as his personal
I choice. Another ballot had a com
I n’ete “X" covering all of the ex- 1
cise commissioners' squares. A mark I
similar to an . after the names of
certain candidates instead of “X" in i
the square was found on another j
ba'lot.
Of the eleven ballots referred to
Judge Bergen yesterday, eight were
Democratic and three Republican.
It is believed the three O. O. P. votes
will be allowed and that six or seven
I of the referred Democratic ballots
will count also, in me nrsi ^
the fourth ward, counted yesterday
morning. Wester picked up tour
votes, as far as could be determined,
but yesterday afternoon’s counting
would increase Galvin’s lead by live
votes.
| The county election board mcm
i bers counted until 6 o'clock last
! night in order to complete the sec
| ond poll count. This morning at 10
| o'clock they started on the third
poll of the fourth ward.
The original count in the third
poll of the fourth ward was: Galvin,
i 168: Wester. 240; McGuire. 176;
Hansen, 238. Shortly before noon
these votes had been about one
quarter counted. There were 426
ballots cast in this poll, the Repub
licans holding a slight lead.
State Senator-elect Morgan F.
; Rarson was present at the recount
this morning, as was Alderman-elect
Robert A. McGuire.
At noon today the incomplete
count showed Wester with 13S votes
and three referred; Galvin. 101 and
none referred; Hansen, 137 and two
referred; McGuire, 105 and one re
ferred. The attorneys and members
* of the election board engaged in a
: hot wrangle just at noon wnen it
j was discovered the tallies did dot
agree.
The third poll o' the fourth ward
was completed shortly after 1 o'clock
this afternoon, the board speeding
up as it continued to count. There
were only four votes referred to Jus
tice Bergen in this poll. Galvin pick
. d up anywhere from one to live
votes in this poll while Hansen and
I McGuire remained about even. The
official count was:
Galvin. 16S, same as originally:
• Wester. 235 with four referred., the
original vote having given him 240:
McGuire. 175 with tne referred, the
original vote giving him 176: and
| Hansen. 236 with three referred, the
(original vote giving him 238.
The board expected to start the
I count of the fourth ward four poll
ballots at 2.30 o'clock and attempt
tu complete the ward this afternoon.
Jacob Klein was representing the
Democrats this morning, succeeding '
David Wilentz. who was watching
the drawing of the ballots from the
box. Alderman-at-Large John N.
Wester was on hand again today.
Moat of the ballots were referred
for the same reasbn.in the third poll
of the fourth ward, having the “X" ,
written before or after the name in- |
siead of In the square.
ANTI MEDICAL
BEER ACTION i
Bills Passed by Congress Sent
to President--Plan Move
Against Brewers
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22—Anti
medical beer bills passed by Con
gress last week came into the hands
it President Harding today for ex
scutive consideration and was im
mediately referred to the treasury
lepartment for recommendation.
The President has ten days com- ,
mencing today in which to act upon
he bill. There was a suggestion that
he department of justice might be ;
called upon for an opinion as to its
constitutional merits before final ac
tion.
Revocation of scores of brewers
permits for the manufacture of near
beer was said by officials today to be
under consideration by the prohibi
tion unit.
Investigation has disclosed, offi
cials said, that many brewers in dif
ferent localities holding licenses to
manufacture near beer have been
making a beer with an alcoholic
content well beyond the legal limit
and disposing of it as a non-intoxi
cating beverage.
Study of the near beer situation.!
officials asserted, has been going on
for some time and the need fo.
drastic action was found to be ap
parent from the volume of alcohol
contained in the near beer distribut- ;
ed by many brewers.
Action in New Jersey
Reorganization of the prohibition j
enforcement forces in New Jersey ,
was forecast today by headquarters
officials.
Green Miller, of Louisville. Ky.. ,
formerly assisiant to Acting Director
K. G. Yellow-ley at New York, has
been ordered to Newark to take'
charge of the New- Jersey enforce- !
ment unit. Officials said it was ex
pected Mr. Miller would follow- the |
procedures of Mr. Yellowley in New
York, and effect such reorganization
of the New Jeraey unit as appeared 1
necessary.

Aii ordinance was passed upon first reading by the jfl

md charging the Republicans with being "poor sports’* fl
they were beaten at the recent election and were not taking jfl
their defeat "like good sports." Alderman Clark voted jjj
against the ordinance as did Alderman Thomas Patten, Also jfl
a Democrat. Alderman Albert G. Waters, the other Demo- flj
r ratio member of the board, passed on the \ote, neither ^‘.1
posing nor affirming the move. _ *' ol fl
The sixth ward with its large population is larger than &jj
two of the other wards and therefore must be redistricted* 9

Such action, he said, is mandatory under the 1917 laws, jjj

Although no detailed description
of the three robbers is available the
fiahway police are making a rigid
