NAY CONVERT SHIPS T0 PLANE CARRIERS Rules for Scrapping Craft Now Building Involve This Suggestion. By the Associated Press. Discussion of the rules for scrapping capital ships by the heads of the five delegations has involved suggestions from both American and Japanese rep- resentatives that certain capital ships now under: construction for their navies | be converted Into airplane carriers, the superdreadnaughts Kage and Yosa, 40,000-ton ships of the class immediately following the Mutsu, while the sug- gestion of American naval officials was that the battle cruisers Lexington, Con- stellition and Saratoga, each of which are more than 50 per cent complete, be utilized for the same purpose. Would Reduce Tonnage. Conversion of the Japanese battle- ships into carriers would involve strip- ping them of armor and of the main Datteries of ten l6-inch guns each for which they were designed, also the removal and destruction of their turrets and turret structures. This would reduce their tonnage to approxi- mately 27,000 tons displacement and bring them within the original proposal to limit the size of aircraft carriers Government Rations For 7,000 in Moscow To Rouse Scientists MOSCOW, January 14~—~In an eiort to get more efficient work from soientists and pro- ®mory in Moscow upon ernment rations, the heaviest ration ever given by the com- munist government. This step was taken by the council of commissars to over- come sabotage among these men and to inspire work which it in hoped will lead to an fm- proved economic situatios VIEWS OF PACIFIC COAST ON 4-POWER PACT GIVEN |Senator Johnson Finds Sentiment | Not Unlike That When League Was Under Fire. Views of the people of the Paclfic coast on the four-power pact were discussed in a statement by Senator Johnson, republican, of California, upon his return from the coast yes- terday. As he interpreted them, he said: “The prominent league of nations supporters hail it with glee as justi- ficgtion of their attitude on the league. The opponents of the league iew it with regret because they fear its possibilities. The man on the street who voted by 7,000,000 majority to keep this country from entangling to that weight. The removal of the arms and armament of the three Ameri- can battle cruisers, however, would 1ot lower their designed displacement of approximately 43,000 tons below about 33,000, and if the conference ultimately decides for economic_ reasons that the use as airplane carriers of the three cruisers is desirable, a provision mus be made in the treaty to fix the maxi- mum size for airplane carriers at 33,000 tons instead of 27.000 tons. Training Ships Problem. Another problem as to the ping rules arose over the desire to retain some of 1 turret crews. tice of the Japanese navy ap- e old pan their ttleships as training ships for gun It has been the prac- to give preliminary training to turret crews aboard superannuated battleships. The British have turret and guns for this training purpose installed at a gunnery school ashore, while in the American service turret training is Eiven aboard active ships of the fleet. Tresumably the plan of the naval ex- perts committee which permitted re- tention of scrapped battleships as sea-going gunnery practice ships contemplated removal of the armor and all other military equipment, ex- cept turrets and guns. As the heads of the delegations, however, desired there should be no provision of the treaty under which a capital ship scheduled to be scrapped should re-i tain any of the military character- | istics which mark her as a capital; ship, the Japanese are understood to have withdrawn the proposal. Would Mean Saving. Navy officials contended that con- wversion of one or more of the Am fcan battle cruisers into airplane rlers would result in a conside saving, since the American nav. gram contemplated later appropria- i tion for specially designed airplane carriers. None of the three v mentioned, the Lexington, Constella- tion and Saratoga, it was said, h heen completed beyond a point where jc is impracticable to alter them. 1f the armor, turrets and guns for these chips were destroyed, it is said, than a year's effort would be/’ - sary to reproduce that eqiipment alone, and even if it were reproduced after the ships had been altered for carrier or other use it would be ne H sary practically to rebuitd her, if she was to be turned back into a battle i Such a reconversion, it w insisted, would be out of the question as a practical matter, under any con- ceivable circumstances.

TERMINATED AND 7 LEGION PROTESTS SEMIONOFF ENTRY Record Speaks for Itself, Legislative Committee In- forms Secretary Davis. BY JUNIUS B. WOOD. A protest to the American govern- ment against permitting Ataman Gregorie Semionoff, the mnotorious Cossack chieftain of eastern Siberia, to enter the United States has been filed with James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor, in behalf of the American Legion. The protest from the legion came through its national legislative committee, whose headquarters is lo- cated in Washington. It is signed by John Thomas Taylor as vice chairman of the committee. The action quickly followed the State Department's an- nouncement that it had authorized the American consul general in Tientsin, China, to vise Semionoff's passport so that he can start for the United States. This is not an assurance that the holder of the passport will be ad- mitted by the immigration authorities. Record in War Department. The protest filed with the Secretary of Labor, after referring to the fact that a vise had been authorized for Semionoff's passport, continues: ‘The record of this man speaks for itself, and can be obtained from the War Department. “While the whole country is exer- cised over the deportation of foreign- ers of this character, we are at a loss to understand why it is that the Stat- Department shouid be so ready and willing to permit another the pri lege of entering the country. We take this opportunity of registering our protest, and we hope that you, as Secretary of Labor, will, through your official office, prevent this entering the United Long Record of Atrocitles The long record of unprintable atrocities, especially those against women and girls, perpetrated by the men under Semionoff’s command and their murderous attack on a sleeping camp of American soldiers during the allied occupation of Siberia evoked the prot The record of these, mostly secured from Semionoff's own men during an Investigation conduct ed by Col. Charles H. Morrow, cor manding the 27th Infantry and now stationed in Frankfort, Ky., is in the archives of the V Department. At the time of the allied operations in Siberia Admiral Kolchak, who in supreme command, denounced Semionoff as a traitor and the allies, except the Japanese command, re- pudiated him, according to the Amer- ican officers with our expedition. The action of the State Department in authorizing a vise for Semionoft’s passport is in no way an authori tion for him to enter this country, it was explained today. The question whether he shall enter is decided en- tirely by the immigration officials of the Department of Labor. H Not Guarantee of “American vise tomarily ntry. abroad when liens cu holders that the vise i - of entry into the United States and that in case any question arises the vise cannot be considered as ver of the right of the Americ exclude or deport them.” said a rep- resentative of the State Department. In many instances the alien receiv- ing the vise is required to sign an acknowledgment that he h eiv- ed this warning, it is stamped on the passport and the steamship com- panies notified that they carry the emigrant at their own ri “The authority of the immigration bureau does not extend beyond the shores of the United S For this reason it cannot prevent aliens starting for the United States, and the representatives of the State De. partment abroad by stamping a vise on a passport neither give urance that the holder will be permitted to enter the United States nor pass on his or her eligibility to enter under the . In fact, the port of 4 man who is blind, dumb literate can be vised by a consul ad, though the c lar_official every reason to believe that the immigration laws will not permit him to enter the United States and so warns the man. If the man wants to take the risk and come, when it is certain that he will be deported, the tate Department has no further re- sponsibility after he reaches the shores of the United States, except as to the legality of his passport and the department vise.” tCopyright, 1 ) —_— immigration 5 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ©, SATURDAY, CRISIS IN FRENCH CABINET AFFECT THE NEAR EAST Many Observers Here Believe Influence About Mediterranean of Great Powers Has Been Permanently Broken. BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. With grave faces men in conference circles are discussing the_ French crisis in its possible bearings upon this meeting and upon the far east. These are problematical, but the re- lation to near eastern conditions Is immediate and critical. It was in the near east that the Anglo-French rela- tions suffered the severest strain, and it was primarily to remedy the grave situation about the eastern Mediter- ranean that the Cannes council was called. Lloyd George and everybody else interested understood that the hour had struck for quick and heroic measures to save European prestige and power in that part of the earth which is still the storm center. Made Clear at Cannes. This was made quite clear at Cannes. Because of it the British prime min- ister made the proposal for a de- fensive alliance that was not born of any enthusiasm in his own country, and to which he attached definite con- ditions touching the near east: Re- duced to simplest terms. the question is one of salvaging western civiliza- tion in the part of Asia that is near- est to Europe. Many observers are so pessimistic that they believe the in- fluence of the great powers has been permanently broken in the near east. This seems Incredible. Under cover of the open disunion 4and rivalry of the entente nations in the near east since the armistice, mo- mentous events have occurred to dis- turb the minds of statesmen, and of all lovers of world peace and order. Turkey has scaped from the terms of the Sevres treaty, and has, by a nationalist military’ movement that has raged devastatingly over @sia| Minor for two and a half years, cre- ated a new government, with its capi- tal at Angora. It{ army has met and defeated the Greeks. It has forced Great Britain back on to Constantin- ople, where her position is difficult, and lost her all control of the Bag- dad railway. Italy has been obliged to leave Adalia and France Cilici France Emerges Victorious. Out of this humiliation France has emerged victorious, because she has made an agreement with the Turl which, while it costs her territorial relinquishments, has, in _effect, put her first in favor with the Moslems, S0 that she has been openly calied the supplanter of Great Britain as the protector of Mohammedan Interests in the world. Dispatches from ria_printed yes- terday reported 10.000 Mohammedans in Beirut, in a great political dem- onstration attuned to the shout, “Long live Francel; Down with Eng- land!” Yet It was only a short time ago that the mayor of Beirut told me, in a formal interview attended by |leading citizens, that Syria would fight to the death against French oc- cupatio France has made rtain the revis- ion of the treaty of Sevres, by her In- dividual corn ct with the Turks She has even given to them a strip of ria along the Mediterranean that is hers by mandate, and her right to do so under th terms of the mandate is freely questioned. She has also let the Turks have that section of the Bagdad railway which runs along the northern border of Syria, so that a Turkish army could strike at the British interests in Mesopotamia. France {8 also reported to favor the return of Smyrna, and Thrace to Tur- Kkey, taking them away from Greece. Armenians Are Abandoned. Incidentally, in evacuating Cilicia, the French have abandoned the Ar- menfans, the latter declare, to cer- tain slaughter, after having used them as soldiers against the Turks. America Is hearing much about this new plight of the Armenians, and by thousanas of addresses this phase of the near eastern muddle is being brought home to this country. When the Armenian archbishop of Quebec appealed to Marshal Foch in behalf of the Cilician Armenians-the mar- shal replied, according to the state- ment put out_ officially by American Armenians, “We cannot save their country if they do mot make their own defense. The first thing is to take up arms and fight” Since de- mobilized from the French forces in Turkey, the Armenians in Cilicia have no arme. g Thus the Armenians and Greeks are one with the British in denounc- ing the separate agreement made be- tween France and Turkey. Cannes was a last desperate effort to restore something like allied unity in the near east, and it was expected that the French would make large ssions as to their new poliey in in return for the Anglo- liance. If the Briand resig- nation theans, as it seems, the return of a_“hard” French policy of na- ! tionalism, then it can onl§ mean also, tas a corollary, the revival of na- | tionalism in the near east, with no j pretense vt allied co-operation to con- trol or safeguard it. Thwarting of Entire Polley. Summed up, this_is nothing less than a thwarting of the entire Eu- ropean policy in hither Asia. It puts the resentful native peop! in hostile array against the all except France—and it is plain that France cannot survive alone—the west must stand or fall together as it fronts the east. 1" A1l the British structure in the Levant goes to s all the inter- as Europeans ts of “the Franks , crash to are often called in Turke: failure with it Civilization itself has a stake in the present French crisis. One need not be a specialist upon the near east to understa videning of the Anglo-French bri aid nd comfort to insurgents in Turkey. Egypt. India, Arabia, Persia and elsewhere throughout the orient. tussia, too, which is at present more dangerous in the near and middle st than in Moscow itself, will be heartened in all the bolshevik machi- nations against Europe. To consider situation precipitated by Premier Briand’s resignation in all of its por- beyond tentousness, one must look nd London and Cann: Washington, to the far region the equilibrium of the univ litical order is most perilously poised.

A brief cablegram tell- ing of the completion of the taget practice which had been going on during the past two weeks was re- coived today at the Navy Department.

Marguerite D’Alvarez, who ap- peared in Washington a few weeks ago as soloist for the New York Sym- phony Orchestra, scored a triumph in her recital at the National Theater yesterday afternoon. This artist not only possesses a rich contralto voice of rare sweetness and charm, but has the gift of dramatic expression in a degree which renders her numbers exceptionally impressive. She carries her auldience with her from the heights to the depths of a composition, because she herself is moved by it, and puts her very soul into the interpretation. It is com- paratively seldom that real depth of feeling is back of a voice, but the sincerity of Mme. D’Alvarez and the vibrant beauty and power of her notes completely overshadow the possible minor criticism of an occasional tone which did not ring quite true. Her program opened with “The Mind of a Child,” by Beaumont, a selection which embodied an unusual thought in melody as delicate and appealing as itself. *“Vergin Tutto Amore,” by Durante, expressed in contrast a deep and_tragic sentiment in its prayer of sinner for mercy, while Remeau's ‘Minuet Chante,” which followed, re- turned to a naive simplicity of theme. Undoubtedly, the most impressive number of the afternoon was “.Nebbie. by Respighi. In it Mme. D'Alvarez's voice rose in crescendo unti] it reach- ed a high note of sustained brilliance, and then gradually fell to tones of deep resonance which faded away into a pianissimo that was scarcely eudible. Again the voice ascended until at the end there was one dra- matically abrupt tone, almost shriek- ed forth in its intensity of feeling. The audience responded with an ova- tion of applause which brought a repetition of the entire selectien. Mme. D'Alvarez also repeated “Hom- ing ,” by Del Riego, and “Seguidilla,’ from #Carmen,” which concluded her program. “The Blind Plowman,” by Clarke, and “The Tryst,” by Sibelius, Wwere given as encores. Lyell Barber, who accompanied the vocal numbers with exceptional artis- try also gave a group of piano solos, exhibiting a faultless technique and brilliance of touch which promise a bright future for the young performer. His first selectis “Prelude” from “Carnival Mignon,” 'by Schuett, con- tained lightning runs and chroma- tique scales of exacting difficulty, yet every note was as clear and dis- tinct as a_tiny tinkling bell. “One More Day, My John,” by Grainger, was in a quieter mood, with its theme ‘woven from chords and chimes, but the final composition, Nerini's “Ronde des Lutins,” returned to a presto tempo, interpreted in brilliantly stac- cato notes and chromatique runs in thirds and sixths which required an amazing dexterity of finger execution. As an encore, Mr. Bnrger played an ‘Autumn Idyll,” by Cyril Scott. Its melody was strange and almost ori- ental in character, and the final haunting tones dwindled into a whis- per which left the audience breath: less for a full minute before it burst into a storm of applause. > E.

CABLE LANDING AT MIAMI SOON WILL BE MADE Decision Awaits Action of Di- rectorate of Three Companies Involved. Belief that a license soon would be jissued to the Western Union Tele- graph Company for the landing at Miami, Fla., of its Barbados cable was expressed today by a high official of the State Department. Negotiations which have been car- ried on between representatives of the State Department and the three cable companies involved in the dis- pute over service to South America, it was said, had progressed to a point where it remained only for decision by the direcorate of the companies to permit the issugnce of a landing license. Several days ago it was learned that the All-America Cable Company, which serves the west coast of South Africa, had agreed to surrender. its ‘monopoly on landings in Equador and Peru, and that the British-owned Western Telegraph Company, which enjoyed landing monopolies in Brazil, was considering the matter of aban- doning its monopolies in order to per- mit a landing at Miami of a connec- tion with its South American cables from Barbados. News of the issuance of a satis- factory adjustment of the difficulties which arose between the American government and the Western Union over monopolies in telegraphic com- munications has been received with satisfaction in South America. Dis- patches from Brasil and other coun- i tries on the east coast quoting news. paper articles have reflected the be- lief that settlement of the obstacles which prevented & cable landing at Miami would result in great benefit to all the Latin countries. —_— y of Texas wrestling fans A _part: A Frenchman has trained himself|made the journey from the Lone Star at holding his breath to such a pitch that he can shave himself, peel and eat a potato, and drink winé all in one breath. state to Boston, a distance of 2,500 miles, . to witness the Zbyszko-Davis- court match in which the big Pole de- feated the Texan. o Sael Atk il JANUAR LENI INGREASE RUSSANCABNET Names List for 1922, Keeps 0ld Personnel, Shifts Some, Adds Three. By the Associated Press. RIGA, Latvia, January 13.—Premier Lenin has virtually completed the formation of his new soviet cabinet, according to advices received here today from Moscow by the officlal bolshevik Rosta News Agency. It contains the same personnel as did Russia’s 1921 directing body, with the exception of three new cabinet members added to the list. Some of the portfolios, however, have been shifted. According to Latvian and other of- ficlals at Riga, the new council of commissioners of seventeen members is composed of persons of Russian nationality. Minister of War Trotsky and Minister of Labor Schmidt are of Jewish pafentage; Minister of the In- terior Djerjinsky is of Polish na- tionality,” and M. Stalin, minister of national minorities and labor and peasant inspection, is a Georgian. Official Cabinet List. The following is the revised list of the cabinet, as taken from the official newspaper Pravda and the Rosta Agency: President of the coun- cll of commissars, Nickolai Lenin; first vice president, M. Rykov; second vice president, M. Tsurupoff (the vice presidents are newly created posi- ticns); commissar for education, M. Lunacharsky: foreign trade, Leonid M. Krasinky; na- tional minorities and labor and pe: ant inspection, M. lin; labor, M. Schmidt; food, M. Brukhanoff; and nav. tion and inte and telegraphs, M. Dovnalevsk Lealth, Dr. Semashko: foreign affair: George Chicherin; justice, M. Kursky agriculture, M. Yakovenko, and presi- dent of the supreme economic council, M. Bogdanoff. Belong to Right Wing. All the members of the cabine}, ac- cording to local soviet sources, are of the so-called right wing communists, following Premier Lenin's lead. M. Kalenine, president of the all-Russian oxecutive committee, and M. Kry,- lenko, head of the court system, who, with the cabinet, compose most of the important officials of Russia, are native Russians. An inspection of the list of commit- tees of the third internationale shows that a majority of the new cabinet also are members of that organiza- tion. Soviet sources in Riga declare. however, that the revolutionar propaganda efforts of the interna- tionale now are virtually at a stand- still. RIOTS NO MENAGE 10 BRITISH PRINCE Wales Declared Safe in Gov- ernment House During Madras Disorders. By the Associated Press. LONDON, January 14.—Dispatch- es to the morning newspapers from their correspondents in India agree i destroyer squadrons attached to the arrived at Cavite, Manila bay, 22¢14, 00 tre Prince of Wales was in no- ‘wise menaced personally at the time of the disturbance in connection with !hl! arrival at Madras. Doubt is even expressed that he saw anything of the disturbance, although the trouble occurred in Triplicane quarter, ad- joining the government house, to which the prince rode along a three- mile route, watched by crowds de- fcribed as friendly and even enthus- astic. It was after the prince’s arrival at the government house, however, that what appears to have been the worst part of the outbreak happened. A mob from Triplicane, which is mainly the Mohammedan quarter, rushed the sta- tue of Lord Ripon, a' former viceroy, and an ornamental pagoda decorated with British flags, portraits of the prince and palms. All the decora: tions were seized, scattered and trampled in the dust. The greatest disorder prevailed. Troops Patrol Bazaar. Although the authorities made elab- orate preparations beforehand in the bazaar area, which was patrolled by troops and armored cars, there was only a single policeman at the Ripon statue. He called for help, and in- fantry, with a machine gun, was rush- ed to the scene. No firing was report- ed, although the spldiers were pelted with stones. ‘The prince, apparently, was within the government house exchanging greetings with native chiefs when the rioting occurred. All the reports are brief and incomplete and the full extent of the casualtles Is not stated. ‘The cause of the rioting at Madras, according to the Daily Mail's corre- spondent, was an attempt by the ad- herents of Gandhli to prevent the peo- ple from going to greet the prince. ‘The correspondent says that a mov- ing picture theater located a quarter of a mile from the government house was attacked by a mob by shouts of “Long live the sacred Gandhi!” After wrecking the interior, destroying the films and burning programs, the mob | tried to set fire to the building. Leaders’ Conference Tomorrow. Tomorrow will see the opening of a conference of representatives of all the Indian party leaders, for the pur- pose, as the invitations said. of trying to solve the deadlock existing among tkem. Mohandas Gandhi, the nation- alist leader, will attend, but no mem- bers of the government will be pres- ent, unless a few moderate Indians who hold seats in the legislative councll are consjdered as such. In official circles it is stated that a round-table conference of Indian lead- ers and government officials probably will be considered, but the viceroy al- ready has expressed himself as not in favor of such a meeting, and it is con- sidered doubtful if permission for the conference will be granted should to- morrow’s conference ask it, —_— FUNDS FOR PLAYGROUNDS Crandall to Lend Theater to West School. .
