WOMEN’S CITY CLUB HEARS BRITISH WRITER Representative of London Times ‘Discusses Arms Conference and States Results. Value of consulation among nations has been proved In the Washingion conference just ended, Wilmot Lewis 4 the London, Times told members the Woman's City Club Saturday afternoon at their luncheon forum in | the clubhouse on Jackson place. This result is the “one great contribution of ithe conference to the world.” he said. Mr. Lewis outlined the reasons for calling the parley and enumerated the results specifically achieved. The iprincipal three problems which lay before the delegates at the beginning of deliberations have been sofved in ,g.:fltflrutuels{ s;nl to the Senate by resident Harding, the s - clared. 5 P enede The problems, he explained. were, first, the tension between the United States “and Japan: second, the dan- gers underlying the competition be- tween the United States and Great Britain regarding naval armament : and, third, the Bi -Japanese alliance question. ch of these problems has been dixposed of, Mr. Lawis be- Meves—the Japanese-American tension through the. proposed establishment of status quo regarding fortifications in the Pacific, the naval race through armament limitation and the Anglo- Japanese aifance through agreement 10 abolish it when certain conditions are met. One valuable feature of the con- ference, in the opinion of the speaker, was the closer friendship established Petween Great Britain and the United tates. Without this &pirit of friend- ship, he emphasized, there can be no peace in the world. Following his address, Mr. Lewis answered several questions regard- ng the treaties put to him by mem- bers of the elub. A rising vote of | thanke was given him on motion of Irs. Swormstedt, president of the club. It wad announced that the lecture on short story writing, to have been given Februsry 15 Mabel Dill, has been indefinf poned. s v Miss tely post| {NAVY BUREAUS WILL REGAIN OLD OFFICES Quarters -Given Up for Use of Parley Delegates Being Pre- pared fqr Occupancy.

DE VALERA GETS OVATION. Launches b-mp-ign Against Pro- visional Government. | BS the Associated Press. DUBLIN, February 13.—Eamonn De | Valera opeped the campaign against the provisional government yesterday {with a great demonstration held in {o'Connell street. Three large plat- forms had been placed for speakers and each_was surrounded by large icrowds. Members of the republican and metropolitan police regulated the {gatherfng. Al trafic in O'Connell |street was 8 ended for an hour by |orter ot the republican chiet of po 1lice. Mr. De Valera was’accorded a graat reception. He spoke from the prin- clpal platform at the Parnell statue Six resolutions were proposed during the meeting, outlining the attitude of the republicans. The resolutions afirmed that the Irish nation was one and indivisible —that all state authority in Ireland is derived solely from the Irish peo- ple; that the British crown is an alien crown, and that Ireland is no part of the British empire. Tae resolutiens further “declared that the articles of the London agreement falled to represent the true derires of ithe Irish people; that the treaty was obtained under duress, and that the dail eareann is not competent to give it legal sanction and, therefore, it is null and void. They,added that {to force upon Ireland an election in- volving recognition of partition be- fore the dail eireann has expressed its sanction is unconstitutional. An additional resolution called upon the people for support of the dependents of prlsoners. Mr. De Valera in his speech said it was a lie that the Irish people would by a majority accept the treaty. ’ LONDON MUCH WORRIED.

Against 4his it is maintained by the Jrish _republican army fupporters that, knowing the state of tension lon. the frontier, the Belfast author- ities should have ordered the police to detrain before reaching the border finishing their journey by road, and * is, Intimated similar incidents will ba risked .if northern forces again enter the Free State.
