By Cable to The Star. PARIS, March 4—Everybody recog- nizes that Franco-British relations were immensely benefited by the Lloyd George-Poincare conference at Boulogne. I think that Franco-Ameri- can relations also will benefit 41ndi- rectly from the conference. But today I am going to take the bull by the horns. Since the Washing- ton conference the American opinion of France has been rather low because er to Lieut. Col. Sherrill Arranges Plan With Senators and House Members.

Naval Treaty Provisions. Tnder the naval treaty the United States is to limit its capital ships to ,000 tons. Great Britain is to have the same tonnage and Japan 315,000 tons. The capital ship is recognized Bs the aggressive naval weapon. How will the people of America view the proposal to limit the naval yower of the United States while Great Britain and Japan continue in a military alliance? This question may have to be seriously considered by those who propose to kill, if they can, the four-power treaty and at the same time ratify the naval limi- tation treaty. Hold Treaties Closely Related. Supporters of the series of treaties emanating from the Washington con- ference insist that the four-power Pacific treaty and the naval limita- tion treaty are closely related, and Elso the treaties relating. to_China. ‘The purpose of the Wi con- ference was to eradicaté the sources of trouble in the far east as well as to bring about a reduction of srma- snents. In fact, it was heM by the administration that troublesome ques- tions must be solved with regard to the far east if there was to be any Eettlement of the arms question. It is no secret that the elimination of the Anglo-Japanese alliance was considered essential by the American delegation to the conference if there Wwas to be an agreement limiting the naval strength of this country. The miliance has been regarded with sus- picion for vears by this country. So the four-power treaty, in which the United States, the British empire, France and Japan all have part, pro- vides for the abandonment" of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. ‘Will Pusk Treaty to Vote. Consideration of the four-power pact in the Senate is to be begun in carnest tomorrow. Senator Harry New of ".diana, a republican member of the foreign relations committee, will speak supporting the treaty. Chairman Lodge of the foreign rela- tions committee conferred with the Tresident at the White House yester- day regarding the” conduct of the treaty in the Senate, and later with Jnany of the senators. It is the pur- Joso of Senator Lodge to keep the treaty before the Senate from now on until jt is disposed of. He will ask that it be temporarily laid aside if yone of thé senators is prepared to #peak on it at times during the com- ing week, for he wishes there shall 9th and B Streets. LOSS IS PUT AT $20,000 Twelve Fire Companies Respond to Three Alarms—Motorman Sends in First. Fire which rapidly assumed serious proportions and threatened the .de- struction of commission houses in the block between 9th and 10th streets, Louisiana avenue and B street north- ‘west was discovered about 1:35 o’clock this morning. The blaze was a spec- tacular ‘one. Much of the boxed produce on’the pavement on B street caught fire and burned fiercely, light-| ing up the entire street. The blaze originated, according to police, in the lunchroom of Luther Iager, 917 B street northwest, and spread rapidly to the boxes on the pavement and back into the building of William W. Leishear & Son, 915 and 917 B street northwest. As soon as the first fire companies arrived on the scene two additional alarms were turned in, calling out in all twelve fire companies, including the water tower. Dense Clouds of Smoke. The blaze spread rapidly through the first and second floors of the building, sending forth dense clouds of black smoke which made the fire fighting difficult, and covered the market section of the city with an almost impenetrable fog. Eating its way through the Leishear store, it ignited the property of Golden & Co., 919 B street, and awnings and boxes in front of the store of W. Charles Heitmuller, 921 B street, were soon blazing. Leaves Car to Send in Alarm. The blaze was discovered simultan- eously by J. B. Crowley, 4113 5th street northwest, night watchman in the section, and a street car motor- man on the 9th street line. The lat- ter jumped from his car and pulled the box at 9th and B streets, just as the night watchman came up. The blaze spread rapidly, fed by the light wood material, of which the produce- filled boxes were made. Before the first companies arrived, it had gained ccnsiderable headway, and realization of - the possibility of a, serious con- flagration caused the prompt turning in of additional alarms. Under Control at 2:15. Considerable damage to the prod- men, but this confusion arose and the errors predicted were committed. Concerning naval armaments, M. Briand silently let pass the moment when France could properly have in- sisted upon recognition of her im- mense maritime and colonial inter- ests. This moment was the opening session, when Secretary Hughes an- nounced the 5-5-3 formula for Great Britain, the United States and Japan. Another big blunder was committed when in the absence of the French plenipotentiaries our naval experts put in their absurd claim for 350,000 tons of capital ships. Finally, concern- ing land_armaments, Briand breathed scarcely a word of Frane's need for keeping the mcans of action against a manifestly recalcitrant debtor. Neglected Ameriean Press. Furthermore, 1 cannot ignore our delegates’ astonishing negligence of the American press and' the absence from the delegation of any man know- ing American news methods_and American psychology. The final Tesult was what it had to be. When the con. ference ended the majority American opinion was thoroughly convinced that France had become a nation impos- sible to treat with, or even to talk to, Following this, M. Briand having meantime collapsed on account of his unpardonable faults at Canncs, the debate opened between Polacare and Lloyd George considering Genoa. This served as an occasion for part of the press of Great Britain roundly to denounce France's intrasigance. This denunciation deeply impressed many Americans, though hardly justly, for, as the United States had decided to abstain, it could scarcely blame France, who agreed to go, for asking certain preliminary precautions. Poincare’s note on the subject of Genoa was very generally regarded as fair, yet how many people continued crying that France was putting spikes in the wheels and was lacking in en- tente spirit! The Boulogne interview came just in time to show that things were not so bad as they had been pictured, and that the French arguments had a cogency which even Lloyd George recognized. Of course, I do not claim that the tavo premiers in a few hours could settle, or even. thoroughly ex- amine, the manifold problems, both political and economic, on which the views and interests of the two na- tionsediffer. Neveftheless, the Franco- British conflict so noisily proclaimed by the newspapers of all countries— not excepting the French soclalist or- gans—seems dissipated, if it ever in- deed existed. HIS YEAR LIKE TWENTY, PRESIDENT TELLS CLUB Although in the White House but a year, President Harding de- clared that it seemed like twenty to him, while commenting in- formally on the achievements of the initial year of his administra. tion at an “official birthday party,” given in his honor last night at the National Press Club. Of the achievements. the Presi- dent said he considered a return to normal ways of government the greatest. If nothing else had been accomplished, he asserted, “the long step toward getting back to normal ways of government would seem to me to have been the achievement of the year.” ¢ * “It seems to me that I have been President for twenty years said the President. “Life since I came to the White House has been so full there is scarcely an impression left VIVIANI T0 RETIRE FRON PUBLIC LIFE Disappointed at Results of Meetings in Which He Has Participated. By Cable to The Star and New York Tribune. (Copyright, 1922.) PARIS, March 4.—Rene Viviani, spokesman for France in mapy in- ternational missions and possibly the French statesman best known out- side of France, today announced to his friends that he was retiring from official life and would decline to act as France's representative in the fu- ture on the league of nations or as head of the French delegation to the Genoa economic conference, as he has been scheduled to do, Accepts Responsibility.

By the Associated Press. 4 Secretary Denby announced yes- terday that he had ordered fifty ad- ditional destroyers and nearly three- score auxiliary naval craft placed out of commission to conserve fuel. The destroyers are in addition to the 100 ordered out of commission some days ago and will leave in the Navy seventy-six destroyers in full com- mission and forty with heavily re- duced complements aboard. Among other vessels besides de- stroyers ordered out of commyjssien yesterday are five oil ships and one collier, two store ships, four mine layers, six mine-sweepers, and Eagle boats and fourteen tugs and towing vessels.

Col. Clarence O. Sherrill, officer in charge of public buildings and| grounds and executive officer of the Fine Arts Commission, assured a joint conference of senators and House members, _who would handle the necessary legislation, that he is ready to turn over to the Botanic Garden the requisite land already owned by the government. It was agreed that land south of the present site of the Botanic Gar- den, which' lies on Pennsylvania ave- nue between 1st and 3d streets, and | following the line of the old James Creek canal bed from 3d street to the Capitol power plant, and 'thence‘ south to the Potomac river, joining | the groumds of the War College on the south and Buszards point on the| east, should be turned over to the jirisdiction of George W. Hess, di- rector of the Botanic Garden, for de- velopment. Resolution to Be Offered. A joint resolution authorizing the transfer is to be introduced early this week in the House by Repre- sentative John Langley of Kentucky, chairman of the House committee on public buildfngs and grounds, who has for years been working on this plan for enlargement and develop- ment of the Botanic Garden at its location, and in the Senate by Sena«| tor Bert M. Fernald of Maine, who is also an enthusiastic supporter of | this proposed development. The conference of senators and House membets who agreed upon this plan of extension and who called into conference Director Hess of the gar- den and Lieut. Col. Sherrill and re- ceived their assurances of hearty co- operation, included Senator Fernald and Representative Langley, chair- men respectively of the Senate and House committees on public buildings | and grounds, which committees will handle the authorization bill; Senator Edwin S. Broussard of Louisiana, representing the Senate library com- mittee, having jurisdictica uver the Botanic Garden, and Representative Will'R. Wood of Indiana, chairman of the subcommittee of th: House ap- propriations committee, which han- dles appropriations for the garden. Representative Norman J. Gould of New York, chairman of the House library committee, also recorded his approval of thé project and promised sage to the House, where a number of the most active members on both the republican” and democratic side have recently shown deep concern lest the warning of the District au- thorities and of the Army engineers against a threatening water famine should be disregarded. It is the ob- vious wish of those in the House who have taken the trouble to inform themselves regarding the actual ex- isting conditions that an immediate start should be made on the building of 2 new conduit. The Sepate committee recommends the appropriation of $1,500,000 and au- thorization to contract for $1,430.000 more. Favor Provisions. ‘While Chairman Madden of the House appropriations committee and other members who may be called wpon 10 act as ponferees on the District ap- propriation bill express a reluctance a conference between the managers on the part of the Senate and of the House, it is well kmown that they are in fayor of accepting the Senatg provision. In fact, confirmation of this atti- tuvde was given on the floor of the House by Chairman Madden when he was questioned as to the possi- bility of this appropriation not being approved. Chairman Madden ex- plained that the subject had been considered very carefully by a sub- ccmmittee of the House appropria- tions committee. “I think it may be said fairly that for safety in the fu- ture there ought to be some begin- ning on the work of water plant ex- tension,” said Chairman Maddep, “so that when the population increases you will have the supply ready to meet the increased popuiation.” Then he gave his advice to his colleagues in anticipation of the day, soon to come, when the House will be called to vote on acceptance of the Senate item for the new conduit: “I will say that I think there ought to be something done.” Representative Evans of Nebraska. ranking republican on the subcom- mittee of the appropriations commit- tee that framed the District bill, and Representative Ben Johnson of Ken- tucky, the ranking democrat long-time chairma of supporters of this proposal to saf guard the District water supply, es- pecially on the ground that the fed- eral government would be the great- est loser through any water famine which would cause a shut-down of T full opportunity for debate.

ANOTHER 'GIRL WHIPPED BY MYSTERY ASSAILANT MADISON, Wis,, March 4.—Another whipping of a young woman by the man who recently has attacked sev- eral girls' with a rawhide whip be- draw from this affair some useful con- clusions concerning biased exaggera- tions with which certain newspapers confound me by saying it is not the fault of the United States if that country is deceived about France by the men who unfortunately headed the French government for 8o long. Had we not let Briand go to Washing- ton his mistakes would not haye oc- curred. And had not Louis Loucheur been a cabipet minister for a whole year HKis ridiculous speech about France's inability to pay her debts would have passed unheeded. All of this Is true, but every country has its ‘blunderers, and peoples must learn to judge one another not by words but by facts. 7 On this basis America can see that France has not'changed, and that the blunders committed in her name dur- ing the past year injured herself alone and not others. 3 All of this is not very comforting to us, but it warrants us in hoping that our friends will not aggravate the in- jury we have undergone by passing a armaments, even though he left America before the controversial sub- marine question arose. in Paris thiseweek, under his chair- manship of the league of nations committee on disarmament.
