NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS - Conference May Agree on Naval Armament Reduction Plan Within a Few Weeks. 1 HUGHES' PROGRAM APPROVED Suggested Minor Modifications Are Being Discussed China Pleads for Recognition as Independent Na tionLeague Council Gets Af ter the Serbs Progress on i . Tax Revision Bill. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. ' IT APPEAKS that the prophets in Washington were all wrong. The great conference seemingly Is going to reach and sign an agreement on limita tion of naval armament without waiting to settle the problems of the Pacific and the Far East. This tendency is a result of Secretary Hughes' down right action In laying before the con ference in its first session the Amer ican proposal as to navies. Briefly, tliat proposal is that' the United States. Great Britain and Japan agree to suspend naval construction for ten years, and during the succeeding ten years build only for replacement ; that til uncompleted capital ships and many other specified capital shfrs be rdrapped at once; that the aggregate -apttal ship tonnage be limited to 500, ftOO each for England and America, and 300,000 for Japan; that the sea power of the three nations be main tained on this basis. There are other , features of the program, but every one is familiar with It by this time. The conference, and the world, were tit first astounded by this unexpected laying of the American cards on the table, and then the plan was greeted with loud and universal acclaim. The l -legates of the other nations could i.ot, if they would, refuse to Indorse it, and at the second open session threat Britain, Japan, Italy and France, formally accepted It "In prin 11016,'' with minor modifications. These, as set forth then and 1 later, were as follows: By Great Britain Limit size and tonnage of submarines ; permit con struction of one capital ship a year during ten-year period to retain ship yard facilities; permit retention of more light cruisers and gunboats to police the high seas; reduction In number of naval ship, building yards. By Japan Increase of Japan's na val strength to 70 per cent of British nnd American ; cessation of construc tion of naval bases and new fortifica tions in the Pacific. By France Allowance of eight cap ital ships to safeguard French col onies. By Italy Allowance of six capital ships to protect Italian Interests. A committee, of which Col. Theo dore Roosevelt is chairman, set to work at once to study the plan and proposed modifications, and by the end of the week it was predicted an agree ment would be reached within two or three weeks. Among the American experts there was considerable oppo sition to the British suggestions, and he Englishmen dropped the Jdea of one battleship a year. Japan's proposition that there be no more naval bases or fortifications con structed In the Pacific was expected, and perhaps proves a bit awkward for the United Statesl It means the abandonment of work and plans in the Philippines, Dutch Harbor and elsewhere which have been considered most necessary for the safety of our possessions in the Pacific If not for that of our Pnclflc const. But If Mr. Hughes' general program Is accepted by the other powers it would seem the United States cannot well decline to accept this plan of Japan. In the ship-scrapping proposal America has been most unselfish and perhnps Rhe ran afford to be as generous In other matters.

But China, whose status Is the crux of the situation, set before the committee on far eastern affairs the demands of the Asiatic republic. " Dr. Alfred Sze, head of the Chinese delegation, was the spokesman and he held a pre liminary conference with American officials and In his demands followed their advice In all except one point the creation of a permanent court of arbitration in the Far East. China asks respect for her territorial integri ty, restitution of seized provinces and regions, abandonment of special rights, monopolies, privileges and extraterri torial rights, and withdrawal of foreign troops from her soil and permission to direct her own domestic affairs and govern her own Internal and foreign' policies. She does not demand that all foreign monopolies and privileges in China be abandoned at once, but that she be given a chance to put herself on a level with other powers and that as time goes on and conditions warrant the economic and political fetters on her be loosened. The British delegation approved the Chinese demands in general, especially the open door policy and the abandon ment of "spheres of influence." The Japanese, It w-as understood, accepted the Chinese program in principle but would Insist hat withdrawal of In terest in China should Include all foreign powers. The Chinese dele gates say they make their demands in behalf of all China, Including the southern part where Sun Yat Sen holds somewhat precarious sway, and that Manchuria, Inner and outer Mongolia, Tibet and Turkestan are In cluded In "the Chinese republic." It is believed one result of the dis cussion of China's program may be the friendly abandonment of the Anglo Japanese 'alliance, and the British would be glad to see this source of trouble replaced by some form of agree ment by the great powers. FRANCE, as has often been pointed , out, is especially interested In the matter of reduction and limitation of land armament, and Premier Briand took the lead In this, though he had no concrete plan nor any working agreement with the United States dele gation. In his speech he discussed the military situation in Europe, particularly as It effects France, set forth the number of men under arms In the various European countries and made plain the menace of the Red forces, especially in Russia. Nor did he neglect to call attention to France's peril from Germany which, he noted, is a nation of 65,000,000 while France numbers but 35,000,000. It Is plain that the French will not consent to plans for radical military armament reduction until the Russian and, Teu tonic threats are removed. OVER in Europe the League of Na tions feels that its authority is be ing flouted by Jugo-Slavia, and it has determined to show that it can stop a war. Therefore It advanced the date, of Its Paris meeting and took up the matter of the Invasion of Albania by the Serbians. The latter had been ordered to get out of Albania and to observe the boundaries of that state as established by the allied ambassa dors, but in effect, at Jeast, they dis regarded hoth demands. They did, however, disown the troops In Al bania, claiming they are irregulars over which 'their government has no control. Meanwhile those "irregulars" are said to be threatening Tirana, the Albanian capital, and the situation is about the same as at Vilna where the league scored a failure. ARL and Zitn, ex-rulers of Austria Hungary, have been landed on their Island of exile, Madeira. Portu gal consented to care for them there but the expenses, reckoned at about $80,000 a year, will be paid by the states which formerly made up their empire If the plan of the council of allied ambassadors Is carried out. DRESIDENT Harding last Monday signed without any ceremony the proclamation of peace between the United States and Germany and there is much debate as to whom he will select for ambassador to Berlin. First choice among the guessers is Con gressman Alanson B. Houghton of Corning, N. Y. He was born in Massa chusetts fifty-eight years ago, graduat ed from Hnrvard and the universities industries In a way to Insure their success In the future. It is difficult to believe that a gov ernment which so recently denounced all the processes of capitalism Is now openly advocating and assisting their adoption. The great effort of the economic council of the government is to get small Industries started which will supply the small manufactured articles required all over Russia, such as household ntenslls, kitchen equipment, garden tools and small hardware. Sweden does more thnn dispose of the war cloud that so long hung over the two nations most closely concerned, namely Finland and Sweden. One of the most menacing phases of this dis pute lias been the attitude of Russia and the refusal of the soviet govern ment to approve any change of status In the Islands not negotiated In the presence of its own representatives By declaring that It complements without in any way Impairing the pre vious neutralization convention signed by Russia on March 30, 1856, the new of Gottingen, Berlin and Paris, and speaks German and French. Next January Germany is due to pay a reparations installment of $100,000, 000, and in February a quarterly pay ment of about $00,000,000 on exports. Her financial .experts are wondering where It is to come from and the allied reparations commission in ses sion in Berlin is working over the problem. The commission believes the Germans can raise the money for those two payments and urge them to do so as a show of good will. There was reason to believe that If they did, the French delegates would consent to grant concessions for the rest of the year. The commission rejected a plan of the industrial leaders of Germany to pawn the country's Industries as a guaranty for the reparations pay ments; Instead It suggested that the Industrial interests make sacrifices for their country instead of trying to prof it from its misery. That Germany is miserable In some respects Is made evident by the riots in Berlin caused by the Increasing cost of foodstuffs. Many shops were looted. High prices, of course, are caused by the decline of the mark. T TLSTER still stands firmly, or stub- J bornly, as you choose to look at it. in the way of settlement of the Irish trouble. Craig and his cabinet, after studying the English plan, re jected it as unfair to their part of the island and pft'ered some kind of a substitute. This the British cabinet In turn rejected, and an exchange of notes between Lloyd Georce and Crate left the status unchanged. The Ulster- ites reiterated their determination not to submit to anything considered a violation of Ulster's rights. The British premier's stand was strength ened by the action of the Unionist party in convention in Liverpool. The Irish negotiations are dragging out so that Lloyd Georce mav hnv-A to, abandon his contemplated trip to Wash- ington to take part In the armament conference. THE congressional conference com mVtpe nn tYta tar ; . Km un l n jv icrwiuu (fill UU9 been ironing out the differences be tween the house and senate measures with considerable rapidity, both sides making concessions. One of the im portant actions was the elimination of the house bill provisions for the exemption of foreign traders and foreign trade corporations. On Thurs day the conferees suspended their meetings to allow the house to vote on the question of surtax rates. The senate had fixed the maximum rate at 50 per cent and the house at 32 per cent. The "insurgent" Republi cans of the house were determined to carry through the senate plan so the leaders turned to a compromise. Just "Jefore the house met President Har ding took a hand In the, affair by in forming the house conferees that-a maximum surtax rate of 40 per cent would be agreeable to the administra tion, j The house, however, by a vote of 201 to 173, Instructed Its conferees to accept the 50 per cent rate. 9 HP 1 1 K week in America was not with A out its serious labor troubles few weeks are. The garment workers of New York went on strike in pro test against the restoration of the piece work system. Their leaders said most of the 60,000 workers quit, but the employers asserted that 00 per cent of the workers had refused to go out. In Chicago there was c short but lively strike of the teamsters accom panied by some violence. The men refused to accept a wage cut of $3 a week ordered by an arbiter and ac cepted by the union officials. After being out two days they returned to work with the understanding that they should have a rehearing before the arbiter. Alexander M. Howat, for twenty years a leader of the Kansas miners and now their president, was expelled from the United Mine Workers of America for his refusal to obey the order of the international , officers to end the strike In that' state. About 4,000 Kansas miners also were suspended from membership. Howat and his crowd have fought uncompromisingly against the Kansas 1'idustrial court. The Colorado Fuel and Iron company's miners In Colorado struck and state troops were called out. Such factories will require large quantities of sheet tin and sheet iron,, which many of them hope to get from America. The present supply in Rus sia is practically nil. In cities like Moscow and Petrograd the government will supply these small industries with electrical power. The government has granted a con cession to a combination of small knitting factories in Petrograd, which will resume work on the condition that 12 per cent of their output will be paid to the government in tax. convention does away with any possi ble excuse for Russian interference. In order to maintain the convention and to prevent its violation, the con tracting parties undertake to report to the council of the League of Na tions, with which body rests the duty of deciding what measures are to be taken to provide against or to punish such violations. In taking action of this kind, the council is entitled to exclude the offending power from the vote without violating the require ments for unanimity in all action.

The sleeves on the later Parisian creations are more notable even than were the first ones seen. They seem to grow more beautifuljas time pusses, and the ideas that are conceived for tlie'r adornment are really inspiring. It lias been so long since we have seen elaborate sleeves that we are wel coming them with even more enthu siasm than could have been expected by those who created them in the be ginning. Then when they are properly proportioned to the individual figure they do add so much of grace and charm to the wearer that they cannot be lightly cast aside. On a French gown that Is otherwise quite plain and unadorned there are sleeves that start out simply enough from a quite normally sized anuhole, and then at about the place where the elbow is they decide to curve out into a big bell shape, and to be trimmed with wide masses of Czechoslovakian embroidery in all of the bright colors that distinguish work of that char acter. The dress Itself is of a sombre dark-blue serge, and the sleeves re solve into dark-blue chiffon. Then this brilliant embroidery stands out as the Interest around which all of the gown is built Another set of sleeves In a black, soft satin gown was made of tinted luce in the most brilliant orange tones. This, again, was the only touch of color about the gown, and It was really most effective. Sleeves that start at the elbow and fall away in butterfly ends are very popular on dresses for afternoon. They leave an amusing space of bare arm between the shoulder and the elbow, and often the sleeve, if It can be called a sleeve, has no relation to the gown, either In color or in material. The sleeve has decided to be, this season, nn individual entity in the construction of any gown, nnd that it continues to be, with all the sanction of the public, because they show by GOWN OF CREPE WITH LACE This is a stunning gown of green crepe with lace in embroidery to match a creation eminently satisfactory for afternocn occasions or restaurant wear. PANELS WILL ADD Trimming for Coats, Frocks and Suits Important Feature of the Sea son's Modes. Loose, floating panels trim coats, frocks and suits this season. Offer: they extend from shoulders to hem, again they may be attached at the yoke line, the waist line, the hip line but panels there must be. Never before were frocks and coats more artistically loose and graceful of line than those introduced this fall. When the frock or wrap is made in blouse effect the blouse in many in stances covers the belt or girdle, says the Brooklyn Eagle. And when the belted garment Is not intended to blouse there is little indication of snugness at the waist line as the belt Is no more than a trimming line and the frock thus continues from shoul der to hem In a long straight line. The new coats are beautiful, both as to material and style duvetyns and velours continue as the favored ma terials and the majority show elab orate fur trimmings. Embroidery al so embellishes a few of the smart dressy coats. ' An example Is a stunning new model of dark-blue velours. Large medal lions of soft old blue, red nnd copper meral thread were embroidered on the lower part of the coat and bands of the same embroidery trimmed the wide sleeves at the lower part and also the coat collar. The garment, unbelted and rather slim in effect, fell in long straight lines from shoulder to hem. The sleeves were inset with a long shoulder line and the wrap was ENLISTS LINES OF STRAIGHT BOX Great Coat for Sport Wear Eliminates Belt Through Skillful Shap ing at Shoulder. Whereas only the exclusive man ufacturer included the sports suit with trousers in his collection, the universal adoption of the mode has fostered a general impulsion by all manufac turers to have nt least one model of this type for this fall. These suits vary little in style from season to reason, they, too, finding their principal chance of newness in expression nt the hands of the fabric. The general run of great coats for ports wear 'has enlisted the lines of the hiraight box coat, so often seen In French-made models, but less frequently adopted by American man ufacturers. This coat, in the original, eliminates belts, a certain skillfulness In shaping at the shoulder making this possible ; many of the coats are. shown in this fashion, but meeting the popular demand, generally have a belt for those who wish it SLEEVES OFFERS NEW-STYLE GARMEN1 In this new-style garment a three quarter length coat of plain cut falls over a dress consisting of skirt of the same material as the coat.

Some of the sleeves start out as capes and cover the back of the' gown. whereupon they are gathered Into o place for the arm to emerge, and end their ways either nt the wrists, or, having been attached at that point. fall away again into more and more drapings to reach the bottom of the skirt. ' TO HAVE HYGIENIC SHELVES Ename Instead of Paper Better for Home use. Experts on House hold Science Say. Never use shelf paper on kitchen or any other sort of shelves. Experts on household science say it is a filth catcher and one of the best invita tions to insects to inhabit your closets, The finest possible way to finish shelves is to paint them and then fin. ish with a coat of iannel. This gives them a hard, smooth finish, which can be wiped off with a damp cloth when necessary. For a more decorative effect than pure whjte shelves, select some sort of colored enamel and paint. A bright light blue would be attractive or a soft green. For Furs. The simpliest w-ay to keep tnoths out of fur or wool Is to wrap the piece in newspaper. However, If you scent turpentine or camphor the trunk or drawer In which you put them, your garments will be quite safe. In Place of Buckles. New colonial pumps have ostrich and pasted feather rosettes in place of buckles. GRACEFUL LINES faced with offee-colored crepe de Clll.lt?. Many of the 1021 coats are fash ioned with cape at the back or over the shoulders. An exceedingly smart model was made of deep mahogany velours, the front having much the appearance of a frock. Falling over the shoulders at the back was a full cape of the material, which extended to the hem of the wrap. At the lower part of the coat sides rows of buttons were placed, to which the long full cape could be fastened If desired. There was a high collar of beaver. ' ' FASHIONS IN BRIEF Dresses with matching capes con tinue to 'be voted smart. A new collect! ra of imported gowns show the tight-fitting sleeve which forms a point over the hand. The present silhouette displays the long skirt, low belt, well-fitted shoul ders, long fancy sleeves, little trim ming, and generally long lines. Velvet is much in vogue for the win ter. Sometimes It is heavily beaded but more often plain. All shades of rose and red are modish for evening. Fur hems are a part of some of the new suits. If there Is a hem of fur there is. of course, a collar of fur to the jncket and usually there are also deep cuffs of fur. Plush or velvet are the favored ma terials which are used in moderation, plumes trented in all sorts of ways and ribbon flowers are the popular adornments. Wonderful fabrics, In stunning weaves from Great Dritain, including wool fleeces, tweeds and cashmere cloths, are used to make these coats. Gray mixtures appear in good stand ing. Collars of both suits and coats show a tendency to standing lines. Some of them are erect, in an exulted slick er collar style, while others are re solved into throw scarf affairs. Novelties in Hat Trimmings. On some of the fuchsia velvet hats, a red which Is almost nn American beauty shade is used for the trim ming. Scarlet trimmings are used on the black nnd navy blue hats to good effect. There are especially smart scarlet quills and wooden ornaments. Whole hats are made of metallic rib bon, and fur will be combined with it for mid-winter wear.
