BRITAIN'S CHANGE OF FRONT BAFFLING U. S. Puzzled as to Why Brit- ish Attended Parley When Aims Conflicted. BY DREW PEARSON. Out of the confusion of cruiser-ton nage. zun calibers “authorized" programs which befuddled the con elusion of the naval conference at Geneva this past week there stood out 1wo all-important and unanswered question st, why did Great Britain ever consent to attend a lim- ftation conference when she expected 10 bulld?

The answer is all the more difficult because before President Coolidge is- sued the conference invitations, Ad- miral Hilary P. Jones had gone to England and discussed the matter carefully with the British admiralty. The admiralty welcomed the confer- ence idea and believed. definite prog- ress could be made toward limit fTherefore, when ihe Ame British proposals could scarcely a - ment. Why, they asked, did the Brit- #sh admiralty change its mind in a |} few months? The change, they have | concluded. can only be explained by | 8n ancient bitter rivalry within the British navy and by the the United States to British policy in China. British Shelve Beatty. When Adm: support the 4 ral Jones conferred with | the admiraity in London last Winter ¥arl Beatty was in supreme control. But before’ the Geneva conference opened, Beatty had been shelved to R more or less honorary position and Teplaced by Adm Sir Charles E. Madden, brother-in-law of Earl Jelli- 1 coe. Beatty had been favorable to Ad- | y iral Jones' ideas, but both Jellicoe #nd Madden disagree with Beatty v almost every policy within the tish navy. Jellicoe and Madden belong to what Is known as the Fisher naval group, While Beatty is an ardent admirer of the Beresford contingent. The two £roups take their names from Lord Charles Beresford, who advocated gun- aiery as the most important factor in the British navy, and from Sir John Fisher, who argued that the most im- ortant factor was the engine control- ing a ship’s speed. On one occasion it was reported that these two dis- tinguished sea lords became so irate Wwith each other that they actually crashed their vessels during target Ppractices. Jellicoe and Beatty, influenced by | this feud, became even greater rivals pfter the battle of Jutland, following Which Beatty replaced Jellicoe as com- mander of the grand fleet. American naval men are convinced that the re- kent replacement of Beatty by Mad- den, with Jellicoe as adviser, caused the British admiralty to reverse the policy it had outlined to Admiral Jones. i Demands Still Puzzling, But why the admiralty felt a cruiser t il tl o }us_l returned from Highnes order of its happening. no one s prove Frau von Tchaikovsky's story, Tchaikovsky part and that sians to permit her to suffer further a cruel and incredible fate! my own was very strengthened my belief that the most satisfactory test I could make would be one first wife of Napoleon. berg married a daughter of Emperor Nicholas I. of Russia.

HASLEMERE, Surrey, England, August 6.—Dealing with the failure of the Geneva Naval Conference in a speech at a Conservative garden party | here this afternoon, the chancellor of the exchequer, Winston Churchill, said that no blame rested upon the British delegates. The island empire was dependent for its existence, and indeed for its| daily bread, on its power to keep open the paths across the ocean, he said. He weleomed Secretary Kellogg's | statement that the failure of the con- | ference would not lead to any change in the cordial relations existing be- | y tween Great Britain and the United States. ireat Britain, he serted, would take no affense at the United States building cruisers she considered required. He hoped the ugly process of swapping naval nightmares might in a few years come to an end. “The conditions of naval security for the three leading powers,” he re- marked, ‘“are different, and their views about what is necessary for their safety are divergent. Difference of Opinion. “We are in favor, a broad guid. ing princple, of naval equality be- tween the two great English-speaking nations, but the Americans hold that cquality, or as they ecall it, parity, must be measured by equal tonnage and should be expressed In exact mathematical parity. “This is the same position we took at the Washington conference and which our American friends at that time very fairly and very frankly recognized. “If the issues which now have been ed at Geneva had been raised at shington, it not only battle fleets but the whole cruiser problem hflfl been debated then, and if no recogni- tion had been shown for the spectal and vital needs of the British Empire the Washington conference would have failed just as the Geneva con- ference has done. “The doctrine of naval equality, it is to be accepted by us, must into_consideration the whole pos of the two countries on ths sea a their respective risks and vulnera- bili Nevertheless, there is substance in the American contention that the minor vessels which we need to keep our sea roads open and protect us from ruin and starvation might .(so have an offensive value and enahle us to interrupt the sea front o utners. Long Study Urged. “This is one of the most obstinate difficulties of the problem, and it ought to be studied patiently over a long per:od of years in good faith and good comradeship by the Kkindred peoples on both sides of the Atlantic. “It may well be that some of the purposes President Coolidge had in mind when he invited us to Geneva will be achieved in the next few years, not on paper, but in practise. “I hope that, when we say we should not be alarmed by American cruiser programs, we shall not confine ourselves to biased sentiment, but will prove our confidence and composure by actions that speak louder than words. “Thus we may hope that in a few years the ugly process of swapping naval nightmares, in which so many people recently have been indulgingz, will fall back into the obs.urity from which it should never have cmerged.” FOLLOWERS OF CAROL REPORTED hermetically closed, with the excep- tion of the afternoons when the cou- out for a short spin in the neighboring Bois de Boulogne, INN HELD RES_PONSIBLE FOR AUTOMOBILE THEFT | U.S-CANADA SPAN DEDICATION TODAY Vice President Dawes, Prince of Wales and Other Nota- bles to Attend.

This was done between luncheon and the reception, which was held at 4 o'clock. Stanley Baldwin, the British premier, and Mrs. Baldwin were forced to hold an impromptu reception of their own during the garden party. They were strolling among the guests when a knot of people collected about them. In a few minutes hundreds of guests who wished to meet the premier and his wife had formed in a line along a_ terrace. The reception held by Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin was of a highly informal na- ture. The premier wore a soft col- lar and a brilliant tie, while most of the guests were in formal attire. Sev- eral times the premier stopped people in the line for brief chats. Tonight's program for the distin- guished visitors provided for a state dinner. The Prince of Wales, Prince George and Premier Baldwin, together with the members of the party travel- ing with them, were invited to be the guests of the government of Ontario.

All of which gave the admiralty added ‘ammunition to use with the Baldwin government when it returned to Power. The even more violent swing of the pendulum toward a big navy evi- denced at Geneva is dlagnosed by American diplomats and naval experts as due to the fact that Great Britain is at the crossroads of her empire and nervous concerning the future. Britain became an empire through control of the seas. Now that her markets are slipping, unemployment is Jarge and investments in the ‘Orient are threatened, the Conserv; tive government naturally falls back ‘upon the onme weapon which has served Britain in the past—her navy. During nine months of Labor rule Britain saw the specter of diminished sea power. Since then she has seen her Chinese trade dwindle to almost nothing and faced the crisis of a gen- eral strike which verged upon revolu- tion. In this precarious situation the present government believes itself to be diplomatically isolated. French Bond Weakened.

Lupescu, golden-haired Jewish comps Prince Carol of Rumania, willing to renounce Juda accompany him back to Bucharest to claim the throne of Rumania. Carol has insisted that he will never return to his native land unless Mme. Lupescu is allowed to come with him. . Although' he has repudiated his three separate renunciations to the succession right in Rumania, Carol has been in_daily conferences with envoys from Rumania, who have tried to persuade him to return and save the country from chaos. His friend in Paris are certain that if Carol wa another month, Premier Bratiano him- self will come to Paris to ask him to return. So far the envoys have been unoffi- clal, secret representatives of the Carol party, mostly young army offi- cers who served with Carol against the Russian armies in 1916. Carol, who styles himself “King Carol” since his father's death, favors a conference with Queen Marle; his brother, Prince Nicholas, and other members of the regency. Coup Is Rumored. It conferences fail to reach a har- monious and peaceful result, Carol is said to have planned an airpiane dash to a locality near Bucharest to join infantry and artillery regiments that are willing and eager to march under his command to wrest control of Ru- mania from the hand of the Queen Dowager Marie and the patriarch of the Orthodox church, who constitute the exccutive committee of the re- geney. Tho airplane has becn Switzerland for seve of his military friends ur; ; attempt a coup sometime ago, even before the death of his father, suring him that the largest part of the army would gladly follow him.

Carol is de- termined that Mme. Lupescu shall ac- company him. As she has indicated her willingness to stake her all on an expedition, the outcome of which may be full of dangers and hazards, it is felt that Carol intends to elevate the Jewish girl to the nobility as soon as he recovers the throne and divorces Princess Helena, after which he will marry Mme. Lupescu and crown her Queen of Rumania. cession to the throne of Mme. Lupescu would be impossible. The constitution of Rumania provides that the mon- arch chall be a member of the ortho- dox church.

He is particularly sorrowful over the fact that none of his relatives informed him about the actual condition of King Ferdinand, and that he had to get his news of his father’s fatal illness and last moments from reports in the Paris papers. Carol knew, of course, that the King was ill, but he had not suspected the end was near. He burst out in bitter weeping when his telegram to the gov- ernment in Bucharest, asking that he might be permitted to attend the fu- neral and personally place a wreath on his father's coffin, was answered with a harsh and gruff refusal. It is sald that this abrupt telegram incensed Carol against the authorities in Bu- charest and influenced his decision to interfere in the country's affairs by claiming .the throne and repudiating his renunciations. Hailed as King. Priests at the Rumanian Church in Parls and Rumanlan officers in post- graduate training at the French War School pointed out that the affection of Carol for his father and the King's love for his son had been one of the happy features of the royal family. The two became inseparably bound during the war and exfle in Russi when Carol never left his father for a day.

LONDON.—In olden days when inns were remote and highwaymen were rampant it was not uncommon for the robbers and the innkeepers to be in league, so laws were passed holding innkeepers responsible for the safety of their guests and their goods. These laws still stand, and figured in the loss of an automobile valued at £267, stolen from the parking place of the Bridge House Hotel at Staines. Alexander Dixon Aria, a banker's agent, contended that by the innkeep- ers act the common law of England was applicable.
