'PCTURES CLOSER BOND WITH BRITAIN Solicitor General Beck Says This Is One Qutcome of SECRETARY SCORES CHINESE CRITGSM Makes Direct Reply to Efforts to Disrupt Peking Delegation. EXPLAINS RESIGNATIONS Impartial Observers Declare Much Has Been Accomplished for | China by Conference. i BY JUNH'S B. WOOD. | Dr. V. S. Tsao, chief secretary of the | Chinese delegation, last night made the first direct repy to the insidious but persistent efforts which have been made to disrupt China's delega- tion or weaken its efforts in the con- ference. These have not been from the representatives of other powers who have differed with China's pro- posals and expressed their differences at _the proper time, as they were en- titled and expected to do. Some of them have come from within the dele- gation itself, when united action and harmony are most needed in the diffi- | cult negotiations, and from interests outside the different delegations, se- lecting China’s delegation as the most | vulnerable spot to justify their phesies that the conference will fail in its purpos Aroused by Interview. Dr. Tiao Tso Ch'ien, chief secretary the delegation, announced h signation Monday, which was fol- lowed yesterday by that of Gen. Huang Fu, chief military adviser, and ihe tentafive resignations of Chow financial adviser, and Ad- Ting Kan, naval adviser. trio_still were living at ouse, the delegation head- quarters, this morning, so that the separation is more in spirit than in Personal expressions of their inions on the work of their dele- . inclined to be disparaging, and niore opinions indirectly attributed to them and others with private opinions how the Chinese delegation and the t conference should be conducted, fol- lowed. What aroused Mr. Tsao's ire an anonymous _interview al uted to an “unofficial delegate” questioning consistency of the policy which cretary Hughes has followed in regard to China. “As long as the three delegates are here representing our government, they alone can express the policies of the delegation or have the right to comment on the work of the confer- ence.” he said. “If one of several of rs or secretaries quit, that private affair of our dele- | Briand, who was the th, nt home, but that did not change | status of the delegation in the| rference. A changing of advisers certainly cannot do so. That is hap- pening with regularity in all the delegati | China. {China and Japan fail to agree over cise the work of their delegates or of other peresons in the conference is both premature and in bad taste. - At the most it is not entitled to any more weight than an expression of tHeir personal opinions, not an official opinion of China, which can come only from the three delegates. “There certainly is no basis for any charge that Mr. Hughes has weakened in his efforts to secure justice for China. No such feeling is entertained by us, and Mr. Hughes is dining with the delegation this evening. We real- | ize that he has done so much for us, and it is too early to express either gratification or disapproval of the final decisions of the conference, which still are a long way off.” The complaints about the policy of the Chinese delegation and about the treatment it has received from dele- gates of other countries have not been limited to public interviews. Numer- ous Chinese have called on members of other delegations, pouring out their real or fancied troubles, and creating an impression in many quarters that the delegation itself is cantankerous and inclined not to be satisfied with anything. See Much Accomplished. observers believe that much has been accomplished for They have been especially gratified at the attitude of Japan, which so far has willingly relin- quished most of the gains credited to China. In regard to the foreign post Impartial |oftiices in China, it has been agreed that Chinese customs officials shall inspect all mails for opium or other contribrand and that they shall be abolished, the date now being open, but to be determinated on before the conference adjourns. ‘The increasing the maritime cus- toms rates has been agreed to and the extent of that increase is before a subcommittee. At present a good share of the customs receipts are pledged for foreign loans and a too klarze increase might only provide ad- ditional surplus for further troops and civil war in china. Extrater- ritoriality will be investigated by a special committee and not settled at this conference. Few believe the time is ripe for it. On every topic which has been brought up China has made a substantial gain. The question of property rights in the Kiaochow leased territory of Shantung. over which Japan and China differ was discussed yesterday. It seems certain that at least two and possibly more leases which dif- ferent powers hold in China will be abrogated. ‘There is still the final resource if their differences of bringing the en- tire subject before the nine powers sitting in conference.

No matter what may be the ulti- mate outcome of th earms conference being held here, there is one thing certain, and that is, Great Britain and the United States are coming out of it greater friends than ever be- fore. This was the opinion expressed last night by James M. Beck, Solicitor general of the United States, in an address at the twenty-ninth annual banquet of the Soclety of Colonial Wars, at the Willard Hotel. “These two powerful English-speak- ing nations already have .been brought to a better understanding and a fuller realization of their blood relationship,” Mr. Beck said. “They know that they must pull together, that they must avold the mistakes and petty differences of the past. With _them close together the future will be brighter and safer for all and will bring about a more peaceful and perfect mankind.” Gave Magnificent Idea. In complimenting President Hard- ing in calling this meeting of nations. Mr. Beck declared that the President gave to the world a magnificent idea. “His aim was high,” he said. “Whether it is wholly or partly successful or whether it is a failure will not alter the fact that the President aimed high and has endeavored to carry out an honest purpose. Also, the nations that have responded to his call have aimed high in joining us in this great- est of modern undertakings.” The only other address made at this gathering was that of George M. Pearce, minister of defense of Aus- tralia, who is representing that coun- try at the arms conference. He de- clared that if the arms conference accomplished nothing else it will have served to bring togther the English-speaking nations, which alone will go a long way toward safe- guarding peace for the future. Officers Are Re-Elected. Col. Frederick C. Bryan, governor of the local society, presided and in- troduced the speakers. The commit- tee in charge of the banquet was composed of Capt. Robert R. Ben- nett, chairman; Dr. Marcus Benja- min, Lieut. Commander Louis P. Cle- phane and F. B. Hyde. Following ' the banquet and the speeches the annual business session of the society was held and the fol- lowing officers were re-elected for the ensuing year: Col. Bryan, gov- ernor; Caleb C. Magruder. deputy governor; Dr. G. Tully Vaughn, lieu- tenant governor; F. H. Parsons, treas- urer; Capt. Bennett, registrar; Stan- ton_ C. Peelle, chancellor, and Dr. E. E. Morse, surgeon. —_— Headaches From Slight Colds ive RROMO QUININE Tablets relieve the jache by curing the Cold. A tonic laxative The genuine bears the signature of E. Grove.

Women from various parts of the nation will meet at the Grace Dodge Hotel here Saturday for a conference on disarmament. Announcement was made today that a call for this meeting had been sent out by Miss Jane Addams to members of the American section of the Women's International Leagug for Peace and Freedom, to discuss and take action on the work of the international congress of women held in Vienna last summer. The international league is the successor of the Women's Peace Party, and held its first convention here in the early winter of .1915. Headquarters are being maintained at Geneva under Miss Emily Balch, international secretary, who is now in this country on two months’ leave, and will make her report on the Vienna congress at the meeting Saturday. A statement issued last night by the league reads in part as follows: “Since the close 'of the war, the Women’s International League has agitated for didarmament in every country. Several congresses have been held abroad. When President Hard- ing called the Washington conference to discuss the limitation of aerma- ment, the American section of the league felt a duty to act as guardian of the interests of the foreign sec- tions of the league, and the headquar- ters were removed from New York to Washington. Frequent bulletins have been issued, stating the progress of the conference on disarmament and the other matters under consideration, with the result that letters and tele- grams have been sent to President Harding and to the American and foreign delegates from all over the world, urging that the maximum cuts be made 4n both armies and navies. _ “Miss Addams has ocalled the con- ference of the Women’s International League to meet herg while the limita- tion of armament conference was in session. It is expected that the wom- en will take formal action regarding their demands, which will be made known to the delegates.” LOAN FACTS FOR PUBLIC. Correspondence on Allied Finance to Be Distributed.

By the Associated Press. DETROIT, December Willlam 8. Sims, in Detroit to-address the Sons of the American Revolution, 7.—Admiral | armament. fcular was given yesterday by Loufs Wiley of New York, speaking before tae Advertising Club of Washington. Mr, Wiley called attention to the part the press of this country played in the dissemination of the Hughes proposal at the conference on the limitation of “’The _electrifying announcement of Secretary cf State Hughes at the open- ing of the arms conference was an ex- extended his stay until today to meet {ample,” said Mr. Wiley. It has been ad- Henry Ford and Thomas A. Edison. Mr. Ford, returning to Detroit from his inspection of the Muscle Shoals project in Alabama, requested the ad- miral to remain over and meet Mr. Edison and himself. Mr. Ford's purpose was not made known. It generally was believed he wished to discuss with the admiral his recently expressed desire to pur- chase naval vessels that may be dis- carded as a result of the Washington conference. After the armament conference at Washington has reached an agree- ment for reduction of navies “they should go ahead and cut the re- mainder in two,” Rear Admiral Wil- liam S, Sims, U. 8. N, declared in an address here last night. Admiral Sims said he favored a radical cut in arma- ment, but that he believed total dis- armament would not come, if it was ever realized, for many years, owing to_the distrust among peoples. Alrplanes and submarines, Admiral Sims said, would be the outstanding weapons in future wars. The air- plane, he believed, had made u useless instrument of war of huge battleships. “Resistance of reactionariesi to every advance” was blamed by the admiral for failure of government officials to accept the airplane as a more_formidable weapon than dread- naughts. The admiral criticised former Secre- tary of the Navy Danlels as one of the offiial opponents of the aircraft as a_major_war weapon. Admiral Sims predicted success for the Washington conference.

The development of news rervice, tre training of corre- spondents, the improvement of printing | machinery, the organization of news and the rapidity of distribution gave the people of the civilized world within a few hours the details of this momentous suggestion.” Speaking of the Washington news- papers, Mr. Wiley said: “‘Washington newspapers, by reason of their proximity to the seat of govern- ment, are of a _distirctive style and quality.
