Thus far, if outward manifestations are taken as a gunde, the future con- ference question has been one of the least clearly defined of all the issues considered here. Most of the dele- sates believe they can see the end of their labors in connection with both armament and the far east, but none | seems to have a clear idea of what ac- tion is likely to be taken in the direc- tion of a reconvening of the powers to discuss world problems.

Harding. it was declared, would be greatly disappointed if no agreement for future meetings came out of the Washington conversations. At that stage of the conference, when definite settlements appeared likely in regard to all classes of naval armament as well as all the troubled problems of the far east, the sugges- tion found support in practically every one of the foreign delegations. It was agreed that some action to fulfill the President’s desires seemed likely as soon as the primary pur- poses of the conference were attained. Prospects Are Beclouded. Developments since, however, have considerably beclouded the pros- pects. Failure, to agree on sub- marines and auxiliary craft and ob- stacles encountered in the far east- ern negotiations are conceded to have presented a somewhat changed situation. Upon highest authority it now is said that the American delegation sees no reason to plan a future meet- ing to discuss auxiliary naval arma- (Continued on Page 4, Column 4. PROPOSE DIVIDING |U. 3.

But it will be a disappointment if there is not a satis- factory agreement with the ghinese | themselves. The new year, so far as the confer- ence is concerned, will begin on Tues- day morning, it was declared last night by Secretary Hughes, no meet- ings of any Kind being scheduled for| tomorrow, which will be a real holi- day. Because the delegations of France, Italy and Japan are waiting instruc- tions regarding some of the details of the naval program from their home governments, there really will be no time lost. The Japanese also are wait- ing for final instructions in regard to ! Shantung. Interchange May Take Place. 1f the Japanese desire to have their homeland exempted from the opera- tion of the new four-puwer treaty, covering insular posscssions and do- minions of the United Britain, France and Japan, in the re- gion of the Pacific, and it has been| strongly indicated that this is their desire, of course this will be done. Probably an interchange of notes among the signatories to Wae treaty will take place. The inclusion of the J panese home- Jand In the application of the new treaty has been seized upon by some of the opponents of the treaty in the Senate as a talking point against the treaty. The supporters of the treaty, however, insist that it is entirely im- material, so far as this country is con- cerned, whether the Japanese home- Jand is included or is not. Results Have Been Obtained. ‘Whatever nray be said of the fall- use of the Washington conference to bring about a limitation of naval armament other than capital ships and aircraft carriers, the United States may congratulate itself upon the results up to date, it was pointed out last night. In the first place, the Anglo-Japanese treaty of alliance, Which was regarded in this country as a constant menace, goes into the discard with the ratification of the new four-power treaty. In the second place, there has been ‘brought about at the present con- ference a vastly better understanding between the United States and Japan. The new four-power treaty means peace in the Pacific for many years to come. Nor does it commit the United “ZSsntinued on Page 4, Column 6.) ing in the Island of Yap, haz been broadened into a proposed six-power States. Janan and the Netherlands. A tentative draft of the treaty was considered at a meeting yesterday of the heads-of the American. Japanese, Netherlands. British, French and Ttalian delegations, and although final approval awaits further word from foreign capitals, the proposal found | general acceptance. Cable Rights Divided. Under the allocation, which goes much farther than the separate Yap treaty which had been negotiated be- tween the United States and Japan. the American government is to have full control of the cable between Yap and the American Island of Guam, Japan is to secure the line known as the Yap-Shanghai cable, now diverted to connect Yap with the Japanese Loochoo islands, and the Netherlands is to have the line from Yap to Menado, a city on the Dutch Island of Celebes. 3 It is indicated that the provisions of the recent American-Japanese settle- ment, which give the United States general cable and wireless rights on Yap, probably will be incorporated in a separate treaty between those two powers. These provisions are regarded as matter of interest only to the United States and Japan, and their settlement was left to negotiations between the two governments by the league of nations after it had awarded a Japanese man- date over the island. Dixtributions Broader Question. The broader question of distributing the whole of the German cable holdings, however, is one in which all the princi- pal allied and associated powers, as well as the Netherlands, are concerned under the terms of the Versailles treaty. By that treaty Germany renounced her rights to the cables jointly to the princi- pal powers—the United States, Great Britain, Japan, France and Italy. The Interest of the Netherlands lies in the fact that her nationals held a minority of stock in the German-Dutch corporation owning the lines before the war. By the new treaty it is proposed that the Netherlands is to receive the Yap-Menado_properties _outright (Continued on Page 4, Column 2.) his fiest. gonversation with Prime itreaty definitely allocating the Ger-!Minister Lloyd George since their ar- Iman holdings between the United rival here for next week's meeting of the allied supreme council. The Interview. which was Informal, took place at the golf club. Ambassador Harvey told the cor- respondent that his talk with the British prime minister was of a gen- eral nature and did not include dis- cussion of the submarine or any other question in which the United States was vitally Interested. Z U. 8. Attitude Unchanged. Mr. Harvey let it be known that the United States would make no move for a more active paft in the ap- proaching council meeting, and said America’s position would be the same as at the council's last meeting in despite British reports to the ry. Should the allies desire the United States to participate fully in consideration of plans for an economic conference or in discussion of the German“Teparations question they must request it. Otherwise, the American representative would sit in next week's session only as an in- terested observer. It was said today that Mr. Harvey might take part in the preliminary conversations between Mr. Lloyd George and Premier Briand if the sub- marine question should come up. Those who are making arrangements for the council meeting, which is re- garded as the most important delib- eration since the Paris peace confer- ence, have taken peace and tranquii- lity as their motive. The advance agents of the meeting are endeavor- ing to see that consideration of these vital problems shall be carried on in a quiet atmosphere. Beautiful Meeting Place. The Cannes Yachting Club, one of the most beautiful on the Riviera, has been given over entirely for use dur- ing the conference. It consists of a series of luxurious salons. The larg- est, in which the council's sessions will be held, faces the Mediterranean, which can easily be seen by the dele- gates during their deliberations. The walls of this room have been specially in | hung with cheerful pictures, war sub- jects being carefully avolded. U. S. DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS ARE RESUMED WITH GERMANY Diplomatic relations between Germany and the United States were resumed officially late yes- terday, when Karl Lang, charge d'affaires from the Berlin govern- ment, presented his letters of credence and was Treceived by Secretary Hughes. The German charge presented his credentials to Mr. Hughes at 2:30 o'clock and at that exact moment were resumed the diplp- matic relations which had been broken since February 3, 1917, when Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador here, was handed his passports. 55 The reception by Secreta: Hughes of Herr Lang was rather an wnusual incident in that Mr. Lang arrived in Washington only last Wednesday, and it has not been customary for new envoys to present their credentials in so short a period of time ‘after ar- riving. The haste to have Mr. Lang recognized as Germany’s offi- cial diplomatic representative was occasioned by his desire to be re- ceived with other members of the diplomatic corps by President Harding at the New Yea" recep- tion tomorrow. In acc.. imce with that desire State Department officials arranged an audience with the Secretary yesterday and it Is expected that Mr. Lang will be recelved with the other diplomats by President Harding.' The new Austrian charge, Ed- gar A. G. Prochnik, also will be among those to. be greeted by President Harding at his reception. Mr. Prochnik, who has been in this coiuntry for some time look- ing after Austrian interests in an ‘ unofficial ‘capacity,. presented his credentials as Austrian charge to Secartary Hughes early this ‘week.

MOSCOW, Russia, December 31.— Nikolai Lenin, in addressing the all-Russian congress, received a tremendous ovation when he took the platform, all the delegates rising. He pald little attention to it, simply standing still and hiding his face behind his notes. Lenin looks thinner than his portraits represent him. His face Is frank, mobile> and pleasant, though severe except when he smiles ironically. Twice at the beginning he was interrupted by spontaneous applause. His speech, lasting more than two hours, was delivered forcefully and convincingly with a vocabulary rich in literary allusions and homely folk sayings.

BARON ROSEN DIES FROM LATE INJURY Diplomat, Once Ambassador Here, Was Hit by New York Taxicab. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 31.—Baron Rosen, former Russian ambassador to the United States, who recently was knocked down by a taxicab in this city, died today in his suite at the Hotel Netherland. With him at the end was his wife, who hastened to his bedside from Paris on receiving word of the accident. Baron Rosen had been confined to his hotel since December 14, the. date of the accident, with a fractured leg and other injuries. Resultant com- plications, it is believed, brought on his fatal illness. Funeral services will be conducted for the public at the Russian Catholic Church of St. Nicholas Tuesday morn- ing. In keeping with the Russian custom, private services will be held in the same church Monday evening. Family Was Distinguished. A one-time world-famous diplomat, Baron Rosen spent the last years of his life in the United States, where he engaged in writing for magazines and newspapers. He came of very old Swedish stock, was born in 1849 and was educated at the University of Dorpat and the Imperial Academy of Laws in Petrograd. His ancestors followed the banner of Gustavus Adolphus in the invasion of Muscovy 300 years ago and settled in Lithu- ania,®where the family maintained a vast estate. The Rosens gave Rus- distinguished generals, dip- lomats and writers. A brother of Baron Rosen achieved eminence in science. He was a member of the ol ol { Lenin, after declaring that the Inter-| ¢ "porhaps, at one time, the great- equilibrium had reached, “but there are concessions we will not make. Therefore, guard the red army as the pupil of your eye.” N. Nestorov, a delegate from Sim- birsk, criticised the American Rellef Administration’s methods. “We have,” he said, “a large number of children under seven With neither shoes or clothing, still they were refused re- lief at home, and many of the chil- dren are falling ill as the result of colds caught while attending the pub- lic kitchens.” : According to a delegate from Si- beria, there were 8,000,000 poods (320,000,000 pounds) of grain in one province, but it could not be trans- poited on account of the disorganized transport, 167 bridges having been destroyed. “Who is to blame far the famine?’ asked this delegate. “We or the French, English and American troops supporting.

He was a talented musiclan and spoke English, French, German, Ital- ian anad Japanese. For many years he was In the foreign service of Russia.

REPUBLIC IS ADVOCATED| Invitation Is Extended to Hindus) for Formation of Parallel Gov- ernment in Country. By the Associated Press. ARMEDARAD, British India, Decem- ber 30.—A plea for an Indian repubiic, to be called the United States of India, to be Ceclarec January 1 and to be at- tained by guerrilla warfare if necessary, was the principal feature of the address of President Hazrat Mohani of the All- India Moslem League in opening the an- nufl s:esion of the league here today. Mohari invited Mobandas Gandhi, leager of the non-co-operation move- ment, who was present, to form a paral- lel government, with its own parliament and armies. Mohani admitted that such a’ government could not be maintained by peaceful means. Moharni assured tae Hindus that their appiéhensions regarding what might happen under a ‘“free India” were groundless, because India belonged equally to the Hindus and the Moham- medans, and he declared the Mdslems would stand by the Hindus to the last for the attainment of independence. Mohani said he believed the move- ment could not remain non-violent when the government had recourse to the gallows and machine guns. He therefore urged removal of the non- violence limitation, because the peo- ple could not stand repression with- out retaliation, he declared. Referring to the question of the Turkish settlement, Mohani said the evacuation of Smyrna and the restora- tion of Thrace would not satisty the Moslems, who would not be content until all their territorials were freed from non-Moslem influence.

LONDON, December 31.—No explana- tion was at hand from British India today as to what was meant by the invitation extended by Mohani to Mahatma Gandhi for the formation of a parallel government.

Automobilists who failed to re- cure theif 1922 tags before the office closed yesterday will not be arrested today or tomorrow If they operate their machines with the 1921 tags attached, according to Capt. Headley, in charge of the traffic squad. * Capt. Headley stated last night that the police of the city will be instructed not to make any ar- rests on these days. They will be told to inform the operators of vehicles that they must get tags by Tuesday. He said as yet it was not decided whether arrests would be made before the latter part of the week. SCHOOL BUILDING AND CONDUIT BILLS UP FOR DISCUSSION, House Committee to Hold Hearings on $2,156,000 and $3,000,000 Items. Hearings on the $3,000,000 item to continue work on the project for an increased water supply for the Dis- trict and on the $2.156,000 for con- tinuing the school buiiding program are to be held carly this week by the subcommittee on the District ap- propriations of the House District committee. With the exception of these two big items the hearings have been completed on the District bill, Chairman Davis said last night. Maj. M. C. Tyler District engineer, reporting to the chief of engineers. but in charge of the Washington aqueduct, the filtraticn plant, the Georgetown bridge, the Anacostia reciamation project and other river and harbor work in this vicinity, was before the subcommittee all day yes- terday. The committee postponed questioning him about the $3,000,000 for building an additional conduit from Great Falls until several absent members of the committee partic- | ularly interested in this project could be present. $300,000 Needed for Bridge. Chairman Davis and other members of the comnfittee questioned Maj ler regarding the item of $360.000 asked for completion of work on the Georgetown bridge. They scemed particularly anxious to know if the work could be completed with this amount, and Maj. Tyler assured them that it could be. He explained at length the reason why the bridge has cost so much more than the pre-war estimates. o Hearings on the school building pro- gram are scheduled for tomorrow at 2 p.m. The school authorities have al- ready been heard on most of the school items, including the question of increases in salaries. It was made plain by Chairman Davis that there is to be no general increase in salaries. This is in conformity with the gen- eral policy of the House appropria- tions committee, because of uncer- tainty regarding the $240 bonus that has been paid to government em- ployes to meet the high cost of living and on account of uncertainty re- garding reclassification. The teachers, however. have been removed from the reclassification bill as it passed the House. The committee heard the request of the school authorities for 201 new teachers at a total salary cost of $288,400. The committee showed a sympathetic desire and intent to fur- nish as many additional teachers as may be shown to be necessary. It can be stated positively that there will be a considerable increase in the teach- ing force, sufficient to supply all buildings that may be in condition. The provision for pay of janitors in the schools has not yet been consid- ered in the hearings, but will be to- morrow. V.11l Consider Tubercular Provision. Among the new items to be consid- eired tomorrow are proposals totaling $21,000 for maintenance, equipment and furnishing schools for tubercular children and fof’ extending the equip- ment of the Harrison School for tu- bercular children. The school building and school land budget, totaling $2,156,000, includes the following new ttems: For completing the construction of a junior high school north of Taylor street and east of 14th street, $200.000. For completing the construction of a junior high school on the site In the vicinity of Gage, Emery and Ecking- ton schools, $200,000.

Senator Penruse's iliness, after his recuperation from a long sicke which kept-him away from the Senate for months, started early in the weck with a bad cold. There was u change for the better on Wednesday, but he suffered a slight relapse Thursday. Despite that, however, he was abie to be up and around his apartment, The senator's brother. Dr. Charles Penrose of Philadelphia, came here to see him after the first cold attack, but returned home Wednesday feel- ing that the senator was well on the mend. Dr. Adams was with Senator Penrose most of the afternoon and throughout the evening. . Until a few moments before his death Senator Penrose, his physician said, was quite comfortable, although he soon relapsed into unconscious- ness and it was realized that his con- dition was desperate. Senator Penrose occupied a large suite on the top floor of the hotel, and it was said that he wae able to look out over the city yesterday morning before his condition began to change for the worse. It was sald that he was particularly anxious to recoup his strength so that he could return to his duties this week as chairman of the finance committee hearing witnesses on the tariff bill. Friends of Senator Penrose said last night that the sudden death recently of his colleague, Senator Knox, had been such a shock to him that it had: affect- ed him several days ago, while he was doing his best to shake off a deep cold. Like Senator Knox, he died suddenly, for, as Dr, Adams explained, that while he knew the senator was quite ill, he did not anticipate death. The death of Senator Penrose came at 2 moment when the city was in themidst of its noisy New Year eve celebration, HEADED FINANCE COMMITTEE Senator Penrose, as chairman of the Senate finance committee, was in charge of the bills revising the revenue and tariff laws of the country. The bill amending and re- visipg the revenue laws has been passed. The tariff bill, however, is still to be enacted.
