PARIS, France, December 31.—The ! writer can state definitely that the| reparations commission which re- Wwill not renew the demand upon Ger- many to pay the full scheduled amount of reparations on January 15.{planning a tour of this country with { his family. This will leave the way clear for the | Cannes conference to revise the sched- ule or methods of payment. The German delegates made a re-: markable proposal—namely, that the ! allied and associated governments levy on German-owned foreign cur- rencies in foreign banks to pay the reparations. The German industriai- ists, who are represented by delegates here, are the ones who chiefly own such’ currencies. Hence this is a re- markably self-sacrificing proposal. It would disarm the principal French argument, but would also discourage future exportation of Ger- DELEGATES PREPARING TO DEPART FOR HOMES Tentative Arr’angements Being Made With Prospects of Early Closing of Conference. Many 6f the delegates to the arms and far eastern conference are making arrangements for departure for their homes in the next two weeks, for- seeing closing of the principal work of the conference. Some of the plans are tentative, however, and there is no disposition to leave prematurely. Mr. Balfour has made a tentative steamshlp booking for January 14, while the British military contingent is sailng from New York today. The Netherlands minister of foreign affairs, Jonkheer van Karnebeek, head of the Netherlands delegation, expects to sail for home January 4. Senator Shanzer, head of the Itallan delega- tion, hopes that conditions will per- mit him to sail Jaruary 8. Senator Albrtini of the Italian delegation is Admiral Baron Kato and many of the Japanese party are preparing to leave San Francisco January 23, and Prince Tokugawa January 13.

Domville Declares Vast Fleet Must Be Maintained Against Submarine Menace. 1 Great Britain not risk the of the different nations that the sub- marine will not be misused in time of war, Capt. B. E. Domville, direc- tor of plans of the admiralty section of the British empire delegation to the present conference, said yester- day afternoon at a meeting of the national council for the limitation of “We believe that Mr. Root's proposal that the nations agree that submarines shall not be used against merchant shipping is a real step toward progress,” he said, “but Great Britain is .So dependent <n her maritime trade that she could not dare to put any trust in mere words “Germany forgot all international agreemeénts during the late war, and so might any other nation if her back were against the wall. The tempta- tion to attack unprotected merchant vessels would be too great. Great Britain will have to keep a vast fleet of small craft in commission if any other nation builds up a fleet of sub- mersibles. We hate to dd it. It will be a tremendous expense, but we can and we will have to. Capt. Domville scored the submarine as a weapon of defense. He pointed out that submarines would be futile against an attacking force that had the supremacy in_ larger ships France's excuse for having undersea vessels to guard the sea lanes in bringing troops from North Africa he critisized as being unsound, because, he said, submarines would not be as effective in guarding transports as other ships would. Another reason he gave for Britain's firm stand for the total abolition of the submarine was that it had no peace time value. Airplanes and gas, he showed, were needed in commerce and would be sure to be in existence in time of war. Submarines, how- ever, are both useless for trade and a great expense in upkeep, he said, and if they were abolished entirely the preparations for defense against them could be done away with, and it would be a great saving to all con- cerned. : —_—— EDGE -DEFENDS PARLEY. Answers Criticism of “Some Men in Public Life.” If the Washington conference ac- complishes “no more than to put a real barrier before possibilities of war between four powerful nations, it has scored a success,” according to a statement issued by Senator Edge of New Jersey. Senator Edge’s statement in defense of what has been done by the confer- ence was prompted, it was explained, because of criticisms “being made by some members of the gena(e." The senator said the conference had accomplished considerably and ;that the good done should not be forced into the background because of criti- cism of “some men in public life.” ‘He concluded his statement with “why not join in the acclaim? Don’t lead the kill-joys.” RIVER COMMISSION TO MEET. The initial meeting of the Colorado river commission will be held in Washington the latter part of Janu- ary, Secretary Hoover has announced. ‘The commission, of which Mr. Hoover is chairman, was created by Congress to investigate the power and irriga- tion resources of the Colorado river, and $10,000 was appropriated for the iavestization. THOUSANDS DIE IN FLOOD SWEEPING OVER CHINA| Famine Follows in Wake—Hun- dreds of Thousands Are Starv- ing and Homeless. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 31.—New floods, swecping over vast sections of China and followed by famine have killed thousands and left hun. dreds of thousands starving. This was the message received by the Episcopal department of m sions from Rev. Edmund J. Lee, sec- retary of the international famine re- lief committee at Ahnwei. The Yellow river, which last Aug- ust overflowed its banks, flooding a large part of the province of Shan- tung, again has risen, this time cov ering great tracts in _ Shantung, Kiangau and Ahnwei and finding a outlet to the sea. “So suddenly did the flood come that great numbers were unable to escape,” wrote the clergyman. hole villages were swept away and thou- sands were drowned “In_Ahnwei_province the Hwai river burst its banks and has become one great inland sea. Large parts of thirteen counties are submerged, the flooded area comprising about 10,000 square miles.” R — SAID ZAGLOUL PASHA, INSURGENT, LEAVES SUEZ Nationalist Leader and Five Fol- lowers, Arrested at Cairo, Trans- ferred to Ceylon. new By the Associated Press.

Finally, it has associated a number of friendly” powers in a number of benefl- cent activities, thereby bringing forth | the United States from its long and self-injurious isolation, and preparing the way for closer international co: operation in still other ways. 1t is at once obvious that there is a certain amount of truth in both these opposing views. Neither tells the whole truth; but in the main, the benefits, in my opinion, outweigh the disadvantages.

No_single conference—no more at { Washington than at Paris—can bring {about the millennium in which so many ipeople still seem fervently to believe. If a little good is accomplished, that is a great deal. When the good out- weights the bad, as three years ago in Paris, and as now in Wshington. there is reason for satisfaction, not despair—reason for satisfaction, and for fresh hopes, renewed endeavors, a profounder searching of the heart, a kindlier effort at mutual understand- {ing. No goal is final. All that can be asked or expected is progress; and that_progress has been achieved here in_Washington surely no one can seriously deny. (Copsright, 1921.) RUSS EVERY DAY LIFE IS LESSON IN SELF-HEL! Resident Finds Many Makeshifts Needful in Matter of Heating, [ Lighting and Clothing. | MOSCOW, December i i 7.—Everyday life in Russia is a very practical les- son in self-help. When the central heating apparatus fails—and heating {plants which have not been repaired for seven years often fail—one buys ia sheetiron stove and pipe in the mar- {ket, thrusts a pipe out through his |window, searches for high - priced wood in the market, cuts it and builds | a fire. l If the electric light bulbs burn out, or the fuses blow, or the wires wear out, one goes to the market for the necessary supplies, gets out one's penknife and becomes one’s own elec- trician. It is a great tragedy when shoes or clothing wear out or require repair- ing. Tailors have no cloth and shoe- makers have no leathér. These can be ‘found only in the street markets, and it requires many hours to place a pair of shoes and sufficient leather for half soles in the hands of a cobbler who | will sew them on. i The lack of serviceable new cloth in the markets has put worn clothing at a premium. It is greedily bought by men and women, who have it turned and renovated. Tailors are so busy with this sort of work that it fre- quently requires several weeks to have repairs made. Plumbers, and tinners and carpen- ters and painters utterly lack sup- plies. Small contractors can fre- quently supply workmen to make building repairs of minor character, but they are seldom able to provide the required materials. This necessi- tates hours of search through the street stalls scattered along miles of boulevards. The capital, organiza- tion and confidence which are neces-. sary to effect the assembling of large stocks are still lacking. —_— PARLEY HEAD CHANGES. Netherlands Leadership Given to Van Blokland.

Far East Questions Remal There remains vet to be disposed of the far eastern questions, including the Shantung. Chinese Eastern rail- road, Manchurian and Siberian issues. A deadlock having resulted on Shan- tung between China and Japan, Modkrs. Hughes and Balfour are ex- pected to begin mediation between them at once.

Ghose, director of the American commission 1o pro- mote self-government in India. The vote, according to Ghose, fol- lowed a decision taken Thursday con- ferring upon Mahatma Gandhi what were declared to be virtual dicta- torial powers in “the campaign for independence.” A statement explaining conditions in India. as revorted by friends. was issued by Ghose, in which he said “India is in passive revolt, although the declaration of independence which had been intended to be declared on December 26 has been keld in abey- ance. The reason for this method of procedure is a determination on the part of the nationalist leaders to place upon the British authorities the responsibility_for warfare.” Rent a Ford orADoidger Drive it yourself North 122 FORD CAR RENTAL CO..
