EAGER TO FULFILL TERMS | Some Would Make Pact Three- Power Affair, Should Italy and France Fail to Act. By the Associated Press. TOKIO, August 10.—As soon as rat- ifications of the five-power naval treaty drawn at the Washington arms conference are exchanged by the United States, Great Britain and Ja- pan the Japanese admiralty will put into effect plans already made for scrapping, war tonnage under the naval limitation program. An ad- miralty official explained that until these three powers take final action Japan did rot feel justified in scrap- ping a single new ship. He said, however, that Japan was uninfluenced by what France might be disposed to do. A strong party here would favor making the five-power treaty a three- power one should France and Italy fail to ratify. The admiralty will announce soon the scrapping programs. Reports of the vernacular press that the dis- mantling of the Kurama had begun are untrue. Japan is eager for financial reasons to carry out the terms of the treaty | as quickly as possible. But the diet has not yet voted money for the pur- pase. DOMINIONS APPROVE. By the Associated Press, LONDON. August 10.—The foreign office announces that the govern- ments of India, Canada and Soutn! Africa have agreed to ratify the treaties entered into at the recent Washington conference. Newfound- land is expccted to agree to the treaties at the end of the month. CHURCH UNION NEARER, COMMISSION REPORTS | By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, August 10.—Church union and the possibility of all Christendom ognizing one creed appear to be rer than they have been for many turfes, according to a report of the commission on the world confer- ence on faith and order, which will be submitted to the general conven- i e Episcopal Church, in Port- . next month. nounces there will be in Washington, D. C, in of delegates from nearly denominations, from a re of countries. At the conference the denominations present at Ge- neva in 1920 are expected, including Ancglican, Baptist, Congregational, Czek, Ar n, Disciples, Eastern Orthodox ends, Lutheran, Metho- idist, Presbyterian and Reformed churches. An encyeclical letter of the Holy Orthodox Eastern Church of Constanti- nople was issued in 1920, urging the Ipromotion of closer relations of friendship among the churches, and to that end (a) the acceptance of a uniform calendar: (b) the exchange of brotherly letters; (c) a more friendly intercourse between the rep- resentatives of the varlous churches; (d) an intercourse between theolog- ical schocls and the exchange of theo- the exchange of students between seminari@s of different churches; (f) the convening of pan-Christian conferences to examine questions of a common interest; (g) impartial and {historical examination of doctrinal differences; (h) mutual respect for the customs and_usages prevailing in each church; (i) mutual permission for the use of places of prayer and of cemeteries; (j) the settiement off the question of mixed marriages, and (k) the mutual support of the churches in the work of strengthening religious belief, of charity and the like.

NEW YORK, August 10.—Izzy Ein- stein, New York's most disguised prohibition agent, who has imper- sonated everybody from ‘an Indian prince to a coal heaver, nearly got hit on the head by a policeman, who mistook him in his personal wardrobe for a bandit. Izzy, who hasn’t appeared for sev- eral weeks with a spectacular coup, this morning staged a thriller fit for the movies. Spotting a_truck with six unlabeled barrels, Izzy hopped into a taxl and pursued down the lower East Side. The driver of the truck was some- thing of a Barney Oldfield and the taxi's radiator looked like a minia- ture geyser when it drew alongside and Tzzy leaped aboard the moving truck. One of the three truckmen bel- lowed “Bandits" and a policeman ! was raising his club for a .mashie shot when another bluecoat ran up and recognized lzzy. lzzy took the truck, his three pris- | oners and the six barrels to prohibi- tion headquarters, LOVE AFFAIR IS GIVEN AS CAUSE OF TRAGEDY Man Killed, Wife Severely In- jured, Police Are Seeking Al- leged Assailant. DETROIT, Mich,, August 10.—Mrs. Annle Enger, fifty, was reported near death carly today from a fractured skull, the result of an attack by James Witt, who also is charged by the police with the slaying of the woman's hus- band, Adolph Enger. Mrs. Enger named Witt as her as- sailant shortly before she became un- conscious after the attack yesterday, and her statement was supported by her daughter, Mrs. George Lindgren, who was_quoted by police as admitting a love affair with Witt, and expressing the opinion he killed her stepfather and attacked her mother because they in- terfered with an elopement. The police today planned to enlist the aid of authorities of Tennessee, where Witt formerly lived, in the search for the accused man. SAND COVERS TWO GIRLS. YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, August 10.— Lucille.

Advices from a trained observer connected with the league of nations organization are anything but re- assuring concerning 'the condition of the masscs in Germany and their mental, attitude toward the national problems that beset them. The offi- cial who gives this information has been accustomed to view facts calmly and dispassionately as he has found them. Of Germany he says: “There is an appearance Of pros- perity and_ wealth among people at the hotels but most of them are for- elgners. There scems to be a ruch in the stores and shops and a great deal of buying and selling is going D. 0, THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1923, But the Germans themselves are rather poorly dressed, and they are in a belligerent state of mind, distrustful of foreigners and they hate most of the countries contingent to theirs. They are generslly in a state of miad ready for the next war, whenever that may be. “German industrial towns and trans- portaifon equipment as a rule are run down and have a worn-out appearance. Bulldings are poorly kept up. Streets are not kept clean; and even taxicabs, including their drivers, are extremely seeky looking. It is hard to tell whether conditions will improve or grow worse. The signs are certalnly present which indicate a propetariat uprising. The middle classes are in a worse plight now than the poor were before the war. “farms of Furope look fairly pros- perous, but still you gain no such im- pression of prosperity as one might gather when traveling across the States, even during a season of average crops. Conditions in Bavarla, the great agricultural and dairy section of Germany, are exceedingly primitive. I venture to say that three-quarters of the hay crop is still cut by hand scythe, and the hay is gathered and hungrup by the women of the family. Hay is dried on sticks about three feet high with three cross-bars on which the hay is hung._ It is thus kept off the ground on. in a loft, as the farmer chooses. It means a great deal of unnecessary work to harvest a hay crop in such primitive ! fashion.” The Fall Wardrobe IT is now time to make an inspection of your Fall garments. You will find it economical and convenient to send us your last season’s clothes for a complete reno- vation. If faded, have them dyed; cleaned and pressed, if soiled. CALL MAIN 4724 gave way.
