TRUCE IN SENATE . ON ARMS PARLEY Differences on Agreements Temporarily Buried Await- ing Full Report. RATIFICATION EXPECTED Although Heated Debate Ts Looked For, No Serious Dm_wbnck Is "Seen. BY LEROY T. VERNON, Senator William K. Borah and other avowed opponents of the four-power Pacific pact agreed upon by the con- ference on the limitation of arma ments have suddenly ceased their public attacks on that document and on other achievements or omissions of the Washington meetlng. Lest their temporary silence be miscon- strued, it is only fair to say that, having put the country and the ad- ministration on notice of their oppo- siuon, they are_now biding their time awaiting the completion of the work of the conference, mapping out their plan of campaign and preparing both the strategy their attack. Unles there are some unforeseen, unfavorable developments in the closing gays of the confer- ence. its agreements will be ratified by the Senate, but only after a de- bate lasting several weeks. To Make Full Report. Tt is ¥ settled that President Harding will submit the work of the conference to the Senate in its en- tirety and that the Senate will have an opportunity to pass judgment on each and every agreement reached by the conference. 1In all proba- bility the President will present the treaties and agreements to the Senate personally, at the same time giving. his reasons, in a formal message, why they should be ratified. When the documents have been referred to the Senate committee on forelgn re- lations, of which Senator Lodge is himself the chairman, Senator Borah, Senator Johnson some other skeptical member 1l ask for hear- ings. The first-witness will un- doubtedly be S ' Hughes. chair- man of the Elihu Root ma 0 appear to ex- plain_the agreements, and Senators Lodgs and Underwood will be con- stantly on hand. There can be no doubt but that President Harding and the whole delegation will be only too glad to furnish the Senate with any information or _explanations necessary to enable that body to understand the meaning of the docu- ments and the interpretations to be placerl upon them. . Differs From Versailles Pact. Tn_this respect the agreements of the Washington conference will stand v different footing before the Senate than did the treaty of Ver- illes. It will be readily recalled that no member of the Senate was a member of the American delegation at the Paris conference: that Presi- dent Wilson’s interview with the Sen- SPECIAL NOTICES. delegation. nd_ substance of | ate committee on foreign. relations at the White House, at which the Paris treaty was discussed for several hours, was not wholly satisfactory to the committee; that President Wilson subsequently refused to furnish the Senate with much' information which was asked for and that the remaining I'members of the American delegation at Paris who were called as witnesses by the committee were not wholly informed on all points because Presi- dent ,Wilson did not always inform them ‘of the details which underlaid his own decisions. In the ,present case, half the American delegation comes from the Senate, the conference itself has been held in Washington under the very eye of the Senate and the disposition of the President and the delegation seems to be to conceal nothing which ought to be known concerning the proposed treaties and agreements. Criticism Withheld. Aside from putting the country on notice of their purpose to vote against the new treaties, Senator Borah and his associates are now withholding their ammunition for ‘several good reasons. They quickly discovered that the four- power Pacific pact was, only one of a number of important achievements of the conference; that this pact, standing alone, did not offer sufficient ground for the overthrow of the work of the | conference as a whole, of which it was the hub so far as naval disarmament was concerned: that the country gen- erally approved the American plan for the of naval armaments been consummated as ships, and, in_part, as to auxiliaries, and thaf, whether con- sciously or not, the various agreements of the Washington conference were So interdependent on each other as to con- stitute a barrier against the ratifica- tion of one and the rejection of another, {just as was the case in the Paris peace !'treaty and the league of nations cove- !nant. Furthermore, their fulminations ainst the four-power pact brought no from the administra- i tion or thedelegation, and they quickly discovered that the country was not AL euCounty s o ex parte statements of the opposition fwhen, ax a matter of fact, public opin- ion demanded constructive results if jthey could be honcrably and ; { had. limitation now a | substantial repl Truce in Senate.

Both sides will draw recruits from both parties in the Senate, the debate will last for several weeks, but there is no indication now that ny of the agreements of the W. ington gathering will fail of acc ance by the Senate unless there is a woeful mistake made during the next two weeks. right, 19; RAIL WORKERS CUT OFF.

ADVOCATED THE PHYSICAL “EDUCATION” OF PEOPLE Strong Believer in Learning From Foreigners in Order to Make Japan One of the Great Powers. The illness of Count Okuma, Japan's “grand old man,” which it is believed will end fatally, brings back to mind carly expressions by him showing that it was his constant hope to bring Japan into the forefront of the in- | ternational ranks as a nation of the first class, with far-reaching power. In June, 1897, Theodore W oyes, in editorial correspondence of The Star from Tokio, reported an interview vith Count Okuma, then minister of foreign affairs, in which the Japanese statesman expressed himself with the utmost frankness respecting his am- bitions for his people. The bject of Japanese migration to H ail w then acute, and gertai tariff questions were under discussion which tended to gi rise to ditficulty between the United States and the Tokio government. On these matters Count Okuma dalked with freedom. | In introduction to the interview, which took place in the reception room of the foreign office at Toklo, the following skelch was given: Domianating Spirit. “Count Okuma * * * is the strong man and dominating spirit of the present administration. He played a prominent part the restoration of the imperial government in 1868, and | since that time has been conspicuous in Ja nese political history as a statesman and leader, whether in the administration or in opposition. He minister of the treasury from to 1881, and once before his pres- ent term as minister of foreign affairs he held the same portfolio. “He is consequently a statesman of ripened experience, thoroughly iden- tified with the new Japan. He has been and is now a strong and un- compromising advocate of the adop- tion of modern methods. One of the cries of the leaders of the revolu-| ion of 1868, who overthrew ?h(" Shoguns, usurpers of two centuries’ standing, and restored to the mikado the temporal power. was the ex- pulsion of' the foreigners and the return of Japan to her previous con- dition of isolation. But the brainy men who led this movement, when once in power, judged accurately the tuation and changed their, views nd their policy with lightning rapid- ity. They welcomed the foreigner and for a time sat at his feet in order to learn all that he could teach. “Stooped to Conquer.” “But they stooped to conquer. They learned merely to compete with their teachers and with the purpose of discarding these instructors as soon as they thought they could do with- out them. Count Okuma, in a speech delivered not long ago before the Oriental Society, attributed the prog- ress in Japan very largely to for- eign influence, extolling the foreign models and methods, and criticised unsparingly, with a_view to im- provement, his people’s shortcomings in many respects when compared with the so-called civilized nations. Pos- sibly Count Okuma thinks that the process of throwing aside the for- eigners as an orange sucked dry has begun too soon and is proceeding too rapidly. But certain factions among the people are impatient, olitical opponents ‘are ever ready fto raise the cry of subservience to the' for- eigner and the assassin lurks in the background. Lamed by Assassin. “Of the latter Count Okuma bears with him a constant reminder in the shape of a disabled leg, shattered b, la bomb thrown at him by a politica {fanatic, who concluded that the count, who was then minister of foreign af- fairs, was yielding too much to the foreigners in the matter of treaty re- vision, and selected this form of r monstrance. But Count Okuma, while he sees clearly the advantages de- rived by Europe and America from the superiority of their methods, and believes in the most thorough and complete imitation ard adoption of them by the Japanese, does not thereby ad- mit in the slightest degree the su- periority of the foreigner himself. He wishes "to arm the Japanese with every known artificial weapon in or- der that, conditions being equal, his countrymen may demonstrate the nat- ural superiority with which he credits | them. The extent of the count’s be- lief in Japan capacity and of his ambition for Japan's future is indi- cated in a eech delivered by him before he was for the second time minister of foreign affai: and when he could talk with greater freedom than as & member of the administra- tion. As quoted by Henry Norman in his ‘Peoples and Politics of the Far East,’ the count on this occasion said: Belleved Europe in Deecay. “ ‘The European powers are already showing symptoms of decay, and the next century will see their constitu- tions ‘shattered and their empires in ruins. Even if this should not quite happen, their resources will have be- come exhausted in unsuccessful at- tempts at colonization. Therefore, who is fit to be their proper suc- cessors if not ourselves? What na- tion except Germany, France, Russia, Austria and Italy can put 200,000 men into the fleld inside of @ month? As to intellectual power, the Japanese mind is in every way equal to the European mind. 1t is true that the Japanese are small of stature, but the superiority of the body depends more on its constitution than on its size. If treaty revision were completed and Japan completely victorious over China, we should become one of the chief powers of the wotld, and no power could engage in any move- ment without first consulting us. Japan could then enter into compe- tition with Europe as the representa- tive of the oriental races.’” This expression, just quoted, was uttered following the close of Chino- Japanese hostilities and before the outbreak of the war between'Japan and Russia, for which, it was then apparent to close observers, Japan was even then quietly preparing. Pen Portrait of Okuma. Mr. Noyes, in his account of the interview with the foreign minister, gave the following picture of the Japanese statesman: “The lines upon the count’s smooth- shaven face and his scanty gray hairs suggest his age of nearly sixty years. His face is a strong one, with a good forehead, prominent cheek- bones, a broad, flat nose, and a large, firm_mouth, with a cynical half smile lurking at each upward-tending cor ner. He talks quickly and fluently, and he gives his interpreter a gre deal to remember before he stops to take breath. His projecting teeth, showing a conspicuous gold filling, are very much in evidence when he speaks, and make as vivid an impres- sion upon_the spectator as those of Thi?dore l?fim\evell," ‘ter a discussion of the pendin tariff questions the interview 1 on to a_consideration of the rela- tions of Japan with Hawali, Japanege migration to which had become a matter of acute concern to this country, to which it was confidently expected that Hawall would shortly be annexed, as it was within a year In consequence of the .outbreak of ING STAR, /An Honor Roll of Service The Associated Charities and Citizens’ Relief Asso- ciation, Washington’s united family welfare agencies, appeal to the generosity of the city’s givers to con- tribute liberally at this time to relieve and prevent suf- fering in the homes of the poor and distressed of the District of Columbia. For three months ending December 31, 1921, appli- cations for assistance have shown a heavy increase over the corresponding period of last year. Sickness, unem- ployment, widowhood and desertion are the four big factors which bring people to us. Last year we asked Washington to give us 10,000 contributors. We obtained 5,299. The 10,000 is still our goal. We want as many contributors as there are persons who need our services. “This is a community responsibility. Help us make our list of contributors an HONOR ROLL OF SERVICE to the unfortunate, unbefriended and needy families of the National Capital. Will not the 5,000 contributors 6f last year renew and, if possible, increase their gifts, to meet the present emergengy, and will not others join the ranks to com- plete our rolls? Checks may be made payable to Howard S. Reeside, Treasurer, Joint Finance Commit- tee, and sent to 923 H street northwest. (Signed) MILTON E. AILES, Chairman, Joint Finance Committee. An open letter to a recent contributor, regarding the work for which the appeal is issued, was made public today. It is as follows: THE RIGGS NATIONAL BANK OF WASHINGTON, D. C. Washington, D. C. January 4, 1922. Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your letter of the third instant, inclosing your check for $100.00 for the Joint Finance Committee, Associated Charities. Your generous response will, I am sure, be greatfy stimulating to those who are doing the work of upbuilding here and helping the needy. I, too, join with you in the hope that this work is being done properly. T have always found it being done in a most intelligent man- ner. My experience in actual investigation of their work, goes back to the year 1897, when Mr. Gage, then secretary of the Treasury, had me take up some rescarch work for him. From that time to the present 1 have had a high opinion of the service being rendered by those in charge of these charities, particularly as it related to the upbuilding of families, rather than the distribution of food and supplies. There is vastly more high-class work being done in the reconstruction than the public knows anything about. This is real service and it does not endanger the individ- ual so much as rendering material relief does. The lattef is often very necessary, but it has to be applied skillfully in order to prevent the spread of deliberate mendicancy. Wishing you all the joys of the New Year and happiness always, 1 remain, : Sincerely yours, (Signed) M. 1. AlL Chairman, Joint Finance Cdmmittee. Associated Charities and tizens' Relief Associations.

One fault observable in our previous system of education was the tendency to overeducate the mind at the ex- pense of the body. Bodily, semi-mil- ftary - exercises in the schools and among the young men are going on not only in the cities, but even in the remotest districts of the empire.” Mr. Noyes remarked that he had observed this universal drilling and military, ‘'or semi-military, exercising and that on the surface it seemed as it the whole nation, young and old, was preparing itself to fight some- body. The count responded laughing-| ‘y:"l'ho Japanese are a peace-loving people. What they seek is the health- ful physical development, the bodily education, of the nation. They are not planning, and indeed have no desire or inclination, to fight anybody.” In'six and a half years war was deolared betwvn Japan and Russia.

By the Associated Press. LONDON, January 9.—A majority of the London newspapers today editorial- 1y express reliet and satisfaction over the vote ‘of the dail eireann on the peace treaty. While recognizing the difficulties ahead, owing to.the hostility of the irreconcilables, they profess fidence that the trouble will be sur- mounted and that peace will eventuate. The Times expresses the belief tha the followers of Kamonn de Valera do not possess a more solid foothold for their policy than Irish gratitude for their past services. ~Concerning the er- fect of the agreement s regards Eng- land, the newspaper says: Future Harmony Seen. “If only this country will understand that Ireland is entitled to the spirit as well a5 the letter of her liberties there is little fear for the future of relationship between these islands.” The Daily Telegraph draws the de- duction from the final speeches in the dail ecireann of the “existence of a harsh, rancorous and unappeasable sec- tion which means to do its worst.” It thinks, however, that with sound lead- ership’ and the’ confidence of the bulk of the nation the trouble will not prove uperable. ‘The near future,” says the Daily Chronicle, “will show whether Irishmen can o abate their immemorial habit of di peoplo on the basis of the new charter, or whether the Valerist way will persist until it has dragged Irish politics down to the level of Portugal's or even Mex-, ico's.” Ancient Quarrel Ended. The Westminster Gazette refuses to believe that the “Valera hostility" i produce another struggle between G Britain and Ireland. “We are con- vinced,” says this paper, “that the treaty settles the ancient Anglo-Irish quarrel and that Irish opinion will ac- cept it a decade hence even more em- phatically than it does today. Sepa- ratism in the full sense is in Ireland only a shibboleth, not a real creed.” The Daily News sa; “With the rec- ord behind us of English misgovern- | ment, we are not entitled to resent the passionate resistance of De Valera and ihis followers™ IRISH TO CONTINUE FIGHT.

A telegram was received in this city yesterday announcing the com- plete destruction by fire of the Seventh-day Adventist Tabernacle at Battle Creek, Mich, Saturday night. The fire started at 10:40 o'clock and although futile efforts were made to save the structure, it was burned to the ground. The tabernacle was erected in 1878 and was said to be the largest church edifice in the state of Michigan. It was the fourth meeting house of the Seventh-day Adventist denomina- tion to be erected.” At 4 o'clock in the morning of Feb- ruary 18, 1902, the large Seventh-day Adventist sanitarium and the pub- lishing house located at Battle Creek were dostroyed by fire, incurring a loss of $500,000. Misfortune seems to have befallen others of their lead- ing institutions in this country.

Here have been erected many costly insti- tutions, including missionary col- leges, schools and & spacious sani- tarium. The publishing houses are just across the District line, near the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and the central part of Takoma Park. It was only a few years ago that this plant was visited by fire entailing a loss of about $30,000. — ‘Some unusual dishes: which were favorites with the English in early days were oysters stewed in wine, pigeons stuffed with gooseberries, grapes boiled in butter, a mutton stuffed with oysters, and honey pour- ov‘ meat. con- | the | nsion as to build up a united | (Continued from First Page.) opposed the joint committee proposed by Michael Collins.

Patrick O'Mally protested that there should be notice of such action as this. Michael Collins, however, remarked that, of course, all this had been anticipated. The members of the dail would be fools if they had not anticipated it, he consMered. Collins added that the people were getting impatient and that if the members went on much longer the people would come in and turn them out, or the people would boycott them and let them go on talking as long as- they liked. They should get the men on their side now to meet the men on the English side and arrange for taking over the country. LONDON PLANNING TRANSFER British to Lose No Time in Giving Ireland Administrative Powers. By the Associated Press. LONDON, January 9.—Transfer of the administrative powers to the now southern Ireland government created under the treaty ratified Saturday by the dail eireann in Dub- lin is to be arranged immediately. It is understood that the committee of British ministers appointed under the chairmanship of Secretary for Colonies Churchill will today resume its work. which was suspended be- fore Christmas in consequence of the prolongation of the Gebate in the dail. 3 Much preparatory work already has been accomplished, allowing the ministers to proceed immediately with arrangements for evacuation of British troops, declaration of a gen- eral amnesty and handing over of the administrative departments in It was rebuilt at once, but | Dublin to the new government. Mr. Churchill returned from the supreme c¢ouncil meeting at Cannes yesterday for the purpose of getting his committee together. He ex- pressed satisfaction at the treaty’s ratification, enabling the work of his committee to go forward. The date of the transfer of powers depends upen the events of the next few days in Ireland and the progress made in’ installing the privisional government of the Irish Free State. It is_assumed that Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins, who led the fight in the dail for the treaty, will come to London to assist in the operation, although the date of their visit necessarily depends upon the state of affairs in Dublin.

Declaring that the ratification of the Anglo-Irish treaty by the dail eireahn was the best move that could I be taken under the circumstances, and will have the effect of uniting the counties of Ireland, Rev. J. F. X. Murphy, professor of history at Georgetown University, addressed the members of the Padriac H. Pearse Council of the American Association for the Recognition of the Irish Re- public, at Gonzaga Hall last night. Father Murphy said that while the present treaty was not all that might he desired, Ireland would have a chance to develop ands progress, and that after the development had reach- ed a proper point, the nation would be in a better position to demand and receive ab te independence. He said further that most any sacrifice was worth keepinz Ireland united, and that he felt certain Ulster would soon see the ht and join with southern Ireland for one country united. James J.
