’ 15,000 MEET DEATH IN AUTO ACGIDENTS “Jaywalking” and Reckless Driving Reap Grim Har- vest in 1921. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, January 14.—The num- ber of persons killed in automobile accidents in the United States in 1921 was estimated at between 12000 and 15,000, probably nearer the high- er figure, at a joint meeting of the officers of the rubl ty section of the Natio; £ Council and the manager: ous _local safecy today.

LEADERS POSTPONE - IRISH RAIL STRIKE “National Catastrophe” Put Off for Month Through Aid of Dail Ministry. By the Associated Press. BELFAST, January 14 cike on the Irish railroads, which had been called to take effect at midnight to- {night, was postponed one month as a result of today's conference he- tween representatives of the workers and the employers in Dublin, accord- ing .to news received here this after- noon. Feeling of Great Relief. , Announcement of the postponement was received with a feeling of re- lief on all sides, as it was recognized the tie-up would be somewhat in the nature of a national catastrophe, espe- cially at the present time, when the provisional government is being es- tablished. Negotaitions had been in progress in Dublin since an early hour this morn ing. when a representative of the men {was received by the dail ministry of |labor. In the afternoon the ministers jof labor and economic affairs coa- ferred with the representatives of {four railway companies and the | trades union “delegates. At this con- ference it was found possible to reach a temporary solution of the problem by obtaining the postponement for a'month of the strike which was set to begin tonight. Suspended for One Month. The provisional government's first official announcement was to the general agers of the railway companies in ion wita the strike. The an- nouncement “decrees” that the terms of the Carrigan award of December 17, deal- ing with wages and salaries, be put in- to operation on Januar: but that that policy of the award, of November 19, dealing with hours and conditions of service be suspended for a month to al- {low the government an opportunity to jinvestigate and endeaver to arrange a settlement. The government declared it will re- imburse the companies for any loss in- {cured through non-application of the November 19 award. GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONING.

CHINA’S STRUGGLE TO HOLD STAGE OF PARLEY THIS WEEK (Continued from First Page.) and Japan in May, 1915, is still allve, according to the best opinion obtain- able here. Situation Is Tickli But the situation is ticklish, to say the least. 1f Japan refuses to per- nit a discussion of the 1915 treaty in the conference, on the ground that it is a matter between herself and China—just as in the case of the Shantung question—it Is not unlikely that her position will be backed up by some of the other delegations. On' the other hand, if China should bring forward certain subjects and ask for corrective action, which, in specific application, touched the 1915 Sino-Japanese treaty, then, under the procedure of the conference, these matters might be discussed and the 1915 treaty reached indirectly. Japan Has Conceded. It is well to remember at this stage in the conference that the Japanese delegation has shown itself not only open to reason, but willing to make concessions to bring about agree- ments here and to establish a better international understanding. Japan has acquiesced in the 3-3-3 naval ratio, has been willing to see the Anglo-Japanese alliance thrown into the discard and the new four-power act relating to the Pacific islands take its place—an act described by one of the Japancse delegates as “ac- cepting water in place of whisky.” and she has made many concessions regarding the Shantung matter in an effort to bring about an adjustment of that matter with China. If this same spirit continues to animate the delegation there is good reason to believe that the sore spots in the far east, from which possible war might be expected, will be obliterated before the conference closes. Expect Shantung Settlement. In conneetion with the Shantung dis- cussions, which are to be resumed to- morrow, it may be said that much con- fidence 'existed last night among the various delegations that this contro- versy was finally to be settled. The Japanese and Chinese delegations ex- Dect soon to receive further instructions from their home governments regard- ing informal proposals for an adjust- ment of the railroad question, put for- ward by Mr. Hughes and Mr. Balfour. The American delegation yesterday began consideration of a tentative draft of the proposed far east treaty, dealing with China. The backbone of this treaty will be the Root principles regarding China, which the conference has approved. It is expected that the other agreements regarding China will be included in the treaty. Of course, the treaty cannot be put into completed form until the conference has passed upon the subjects relating to China_still before it, in- cluding leased territories, spheres of influence, _development of railways, preferentfal railroad rates and the status of some existing commitments. End Stll in Doubt. A member of the American delega- tion, when asked last night if he believed that two weks more would see the end of the Washington confer- ence, replied that he “hoped so,” but that he was not sure it would end so soon. The American delegation is fully prepared to see the conference through to an end and to give ample time for all questions on the agenda to be considered. Notwithstanding the desire of members of foreign dele- gations to get home, they, too, are inclined to follow the lead of the United States in this matter. In addition to the matters relating to China, there is still to be comsid- ered the Siberian question. This is largely a matter of troops stationed in Siberia by Japan. The Japanese insist that there must be some assur- ance of stable and peaceful cpnditions there and that there will be 'no inva- sion of Korea and Manchuria before they take their troops out of Siberia. This promises to be a hard question to deal with. But if the conference receives an affirmation by Japan that she will withdraw her troops in the future it will be considered im- portant, it is said. Ral y Question to Come Up. The Chinese eastern railway ques- tion is bound up to some extent with this matter of Siberia, and has its place on the agenda too. An inter- allied commission was created to take over the administration of the line during the disturbances in 1918, when the allied forces were sent into Siberia to main- tain order and assist in the evacua- tion of the Czechoslovaks there, China wants the administration of this railway returned to her, the line being on her territory. Although Secretary Hughes, as chairman of the conference, has been loath to call meetings of the com- mittee on the far east while the Japanese and Chinese delegations were at work on Shantung, believing that this important work should pro- ceed without interruption, it was in- dicated last evening that, if a meet- ing of the far east committee could be held tomorrow afternoon without interrupting the Shantung negotia- tions, it might be called. If it is, then the Chinese may launch their fight for consideration of the twenty- one demands without further delay. No Open Session Called. Predictions as to when the mnext open plenary session would be held to consider the naval limitation treaty have been many and still no open session has been called. It is hoped, however, that this will be possible by the middle of the week. There is a vast amount of detail in this treaty, which has required much study ®o that the provisions may be set down with exactness. This work is about completed and the article relating to’ fortifications in the Pacific will be finally written as soon as Tokio has been heard from. l CINDERELLAS TO VIE WITH BELLES AT GIRL STUDENTS’ STYLE SHOW Are crepe de chine dresses, seal- skin coats, satin pumps and cham- pagne-hued stocking suitable for school wear? Should a homely girl give up all hope of ever becoming attractive? How can a girl dress simply but atractively for school? These questions of salient im- portance to the 1922 high school girl will be answered by students of Business “High School who are planning to stage a style show at the institution Wednesday after- noon at 1 o'clock. Six different types of girls, garbed in the latest creations of Dame Fashion, but all simple and magnetic to the eyes, will demon- strate to their classmates that if clothes do not actually make the woman they go a long way in en- hancing the attractiveness of het’ sex. The style show is designed primarily to show girls how to dress suitably, sensibly and beauti- fully in order to bring out their personality. Of the six girls who will pass be- fore the critical eyes of their 900 classmates one will be of large porportions physically. The clothes she will wear, it is said, will de- ceive the eyes into believing the girl weighs but 140 instead of 200. Then there will be the homely girl, who has given up in despair all hope that she will ever become attractive. But again the eyes will be deceived, according to the promoters of the style show. This girl will be transformed by clothes into a modern Cinderella and will vie in beauty with the belle of her class. There will also be in the style show a blonde, a brunette and Titian-haired girls, whose person- ality will be brought clearly to the foreground by clothes. The style show will be given under the auspices of the Friend- ship Club of the schools, of which Miss Agnes Jones and Miss Violet Bradshaw are faculty directors. Allan Davis, principal of Busi- nesy High School, is strongly in favor of the style show and ex- pressed the belief last night that it undoubtedly will be of material aid to the girls who want to dress stylishly, but in a modest way. Plans are being made to have similar shows given in the other high schools. BELIEVES CALLING OF ARMS PARLEY SAVED INTEGRITY OF UNITED STATES 8pecial Dispatch to The Star. MONTREAL, January 14—*No na- | tion can live within itself. I am not | sure that the Washington conference | on disarmament did not come just in | tilme to save the integrity of the| United States,” declared Rev. A. E. Runnells, during an address deliver- ed to members of the Electrical Co- operative Association, at'a luncheon held in Freedman's Hotel. “The United States,” he said, “had come to believe that they could live and die unto themselves, but men like Presi- dent Harding took the ground that they could no longer hold aloof from the affairs of the world. Sg momen- tous is the conference at Wishington that the well-being of future gener- ations will be determined by what is | accomplished there. Millions of peo- ple watch the proceedings of the conference as the wrecked mariner watches for the morning. The church has warned all liberty-loving people to be on guard against the foes of peace and justice. No living man can escape the significance of the out- come of the conference, and it is simply impossible to overestimate the importance of that gathering, and the men who compose it are of the highest moral and spiritual quality.” Rev. Mr. Runnells, who was pres- ent in Washington during the con- ference, stated that he considered it a privilege to have seen that as- sembly of nations, “the Americans with alertness and commercial ca- pacity; Britain with stability, love of liberty and devotion to truth; China with her homage; Japan with her fidelity; Italy with her love of the esthetic; Belgium with her courage; Holland with her thoroughness, and ortgual with her exploring spirit.” KATO SAYS CONFERENCE HAS DISSIPATED CLOUDS (Continued from First Page.) minés of those who were wont to believe this calumny, but with many the charge remained -unrefuted up to the present conference. Within these recent weeks Japan by accepting the 5-5-3 ratio has given evidence which only the weak-minded will in future dispute, and at the same time this ratio is also assurance that you have no intention of assaulting us. We have never aspired or intended to challenge the security of America or her far-ranging possessions; we have sought only security for our- selves. Never have we desired war— certainly never a conflict with the nation that is the greatest purchaser of our goods and at the same time the most powerful naval factor on the Pacific.” Limitation Removes Distrust. Admiral Kato declared that the na- val agreement to limit the construction of offensive or capital ships, although it does not totally destroy the phys- fcal equipment for war at sea, does effectively remove from the relations of the great naval powers the.distrust attendant on naval competition. This means, he said, not only economic re- lief from a heavy burden of taxation, but an even more important spiritual relief. “This revival of decency in the world,” he added, “Is strength- ened by the adoption of laws govern- ing the use of submarines, the de- cision of the nations not to develop their Pacific bases and the evident de- termination generally to restrict arms and the threat of arms. Sees Extension of Hollday. *Would it be voicing too Utopian a to say that the benefit of the Bope tagreement will not end with the naval holiday? After ten.years of lighter taxes and freedom from Joubt and from the threat of war, the nations may well be ready to say: “We have got on well and peacefully with these obsolete ships. ‘Why build new ones?” The nations may then be in as complete agreement as now and, instead of a feverish resumption of battleship building, there may fol- low an indefinite extension of the common-sense principle accepted in civilized communities that only the police need bear arms, and only for the enforcement of law against law- breakers.” In Accord on Far East. the matter of the far eastern prfi%lems. Baron Kato said that the conference delegations discovered that they were in substantial agree- ment on justice to China and on her right to ~develop her government without outside interference. It need- ed no arguments, he affirmed, to men who will be reasonable, “that the best interests of Japan will be served by an independent, orderly and well governed China, for.such a China will jupply the raw materials essential to Japan's_lite, will possess the means of purchasing Japanese products, and will be secure from the menace of foreign attack. But there is a word of warning that should be spoken,” he added. “The difficulties in Chin cannot be cleared away in a day. Vast Work to Be Done. “In spite of the hopes of her friends, among whom we count ourselves, the work to be done is so vast that the problem of it may be with us for dec- ades. But, always remember this: China’s misfortun are not caused by Japan, even though the effort has been made, and will continue, to make you believe the contrary.' Referring to the four-power Pacific treaty, he remarked that, although the geographical scope of the treaty is limited strictly to the aera of the Pacific, its influence and example for peace will embrace the whole world. Possible by Mutual Trust “That compact, he continued, “has been made possible by the spirit of mutual trust and confidence existing among the nations that are party to it. Apparently an appreciable part of America has learned that we are not a yellow peril, but a nation of human beings in whose hearts, as in those of most of humanity, there can be discovered some of the yellow gold of good will. “The frank discussion and the pub- licity which have distinguished this conference have removed much of the ignorance of one another which cre- ated distrust. It i{s already .an un- qualifled success; and, from my point of view, we could so describe it if it had accomplished nothing besides bringing us—Americans and Japanese —s0 much closer together.” SEES POWER IN CHINA. Orderly Government Means Devel- opment, Says Adviser. NEW YORK, January 14—An or- derly and honestly governed China means the development of China's vast but latent purchasing and pro- ducing power. Masunosuks Odagiri, financial adviser of the Japanese dele- gation at the Washington conference, declared in an address tonight before the Japan Society here. China, Mr. Odagiri said, with her immense population and her territory greater than that of the United States, would naturally provide the markets and the sources of supply essential to | Japan, whose resources are compara- tively meager. Japan's interest, there- fore, he added, lies in a stabilized and prosperous China. Should Mean Co-Operation. “Instead of China being a reason for controversy between the United States and Japan,” the speaker ocon- tinued, “she should be one for co-op- eration. I mean this in a sense much greater than merely one of business. I America and Japan will work to- gether the future of the Chinese peo- ple will best be served; if we or you permit ourselves to be made rivals by any group of scheming self-seek- ers we shall serve the welfare neither of ourselves nor of China.” He warned Americans not to permit their sentiment to be aroused unwise- ly by China’s “sympathetic advocates, | who were prone to condone her fail- ings and lay the blame on others” while Japan, he said, should guard against taking advantage of China’s misfortune or disability, for the “na- tion that seeks to exploit others will surely fall.’ in only a general worked out, were conducted with Lord Curzon, British secretary for foreign affairs and Premier Lloyd George, and also Premier Briand of France, M. Jaspar sald. Belgian Finances Eased. Premier Theunys, who also is Bel- gian minister of finance, said that the finances of Belgium had been eased by an agreement reached with Sir Robert Horne, British chancellor of the exchequer, by which Great Bri- tain would not exercise her rights over reparations funds paid to Belgi- um, pledged by Belgium as a guaran- tee for loans after the armistice. M. Theunys sald other reparation funds had been pledged also for certain American loans, and he hoped Great Britain's action, relinquishing her rights would come to th, the Americans.

Alsace-Lorraine, for the first time since 1870, will be administered, so far as justice is concerned, under the min- istry of justice at Paris, M. Poincare baving decided that the redeemed provinces henceforth shall be treated like the old department, eliminating the German laws and courts’ code, The elimination of two ministers and four undersecretaries of state is ex- pected to prove a saving to the French budget of seven million francs. Poincare Meets Difficulties. M. Poincare met with unexpected difficulties in the rormation of his cabinet, but they were of a political charaoter, as the majorities in the chamber and the senate are favorable to Poincare’s foreign policy of closer application of the Versailles treaty and sterner enforcement of methods toward Germany. M. Harriot, mayor of Lyon and leader of the radical party, refused to enter the cabinet, saying that he thought in view of the parliamentary situation the place of a minority dep- uty was not on the ministerial bench. To this M. Poincare replied that ow- ing to the seriousness ot the situa- tion he intended to form a cabinet which would represent national union, similar to the war cabinets, Andre Tardieu declined to accept the ministry of liberated regions, after having consulted with M. Clemenceau, who is living in a small apartment completely retired from public political life. Personal Control Forecast. The fact that M. Poincare offered three of the most important port- folios, after foreign affairs, which he takes for himself, to men of little experience in political affairs is re- garded as significant that he intends to have his own way, so far as French policy is concerned. As, in accordance with established principle, tabinets are bound by the decisions of their predecessors® the Genoa economic conference will be held, the supreme council having unanimously voted for its convoca- tion. It is probable, however, that France will seek to limit the discus- sion to purely economic and financial matters, to the exclusion of political problems. This, it is understood, M. Poincare made clear to Mr. Lloyd George. It also is considered likely that M. Poin- care will not represent France per- sonally. Mr. Lloyd George went to the opera this evening and will leave for Calais by train at 8:40 tomorrow morning. It has been arranged that’M. de Las- teyrie shall confer with Sir Hobert Stevenson Horne tomorrow and M. Poincare with Lord Curzon Monday. LIEUT. STEPHAN RESIGNS. The resignation of Lieut. Albert R.
