VISCOUNT ALLENBY ENDS CAPITAL VISIT Field Marshal and Wife Leave for New York and Will Sail for England Wednesday. Field Marshal Viscount Allenby, last of the field marshals of England’s World War Army, today ended a brief After lecturing to students at the Army War College this morning, Marshal Allenby and Lady Allenby went.to New York to prepare for sailing for England Wednesday.

The reparations and war debts prob- lem of Europe and the question of naval disarmament, hitherto treated by in- terested governments as separate sub- Jects, became fused recently when Stanley Baldwin, prime minister of England, coupled a discussion of the Franco-British naval accord with a declaration that Great Britain had en- tered into no deal with France that would endanger her relations with Ger- many, Italy and the United States. German circles, ever alert for such openings in the international game, were quick to seize upon this point, and the coincidence that it came up just as the heirs of the Kaiser's war policy were about to ask the powers to submit the l‘e}’:araticns question to a commis- sion of experts, as had been ggreed at Geneva in September. | The prime minister’s speech followed jothers of similar tenor by members of his cabinet. Winston Churchill, chan- cellor of the exchequer, told an audi- ence at Chingford that Great Britain would be glad to accept an invitation to a reparations conference and would do all it could to forward any reason- able agreement. He said once more, however, that the British treasury must have from Continental Europe in the way of war debt payments an amount equal to that which she must pay to the United States. < | Lord Cushendun, acting fofeign min- |ister, made another revelation respect- ing the much-discussed naval accord. He sajd Great Britain had proposed to France abolition of all submarines and had accepted the latter's plan for a limitation of large submersibles on the proverbial ground that half a loaf was better than none. He denounced critics of the agreement who saw in it a slap at the United States by asking: “How can we maintain good relations 2l around if friendliness 10 one nation OUTSTANDING WORLD EVENTS OF PAST WEEK BRIEFLY TOLD Led by Daniel Carter Beard, national Scout commissioner, thousands of Boy Scouts from the Eastern States made their annual pilgrimage to the grave of Theodore Roosevelt Saturday on the seventieth anniversary of the birth of their former léader and friend.

Great Britain sald she would adopt the French idea that trained army reserves should not be counted when the ques- tion of land armaments comes up, and in return France came to the British idea of limiting all war vessels of more than 10,000 tons and all ships under that tonnage which carry guns of more than 6-inch caliber. Italy may have had some “inside in- formation” as to this when she re- i sponded to the naval accord communi- cation, for she then said that the dis- | cussion should take in land and air as well as sea forces. ‘The practical effects of such provi- sions, it was pointed out, would be to cut down the French army to the size | of Ttaly's and to give the latter pre- { ponderant naval forces in the Mediter- ranean. Despite all the talk about disarma- ment, generosity in the settlement of war debts and similar trends toward stability in peace, there persisted the usual note of suspicion, international “fears” and_distrust of motives. Count de Broquerville, minister of na- | tional defense for Belgium, gave frank expression to the lingering fears of Ger- man aggression. He told the Parlia- ment that it ought to increase the term of compulsory military service, now set at six months, because the present ar- rangement left the Eastern Belgian gar- risons open to a surprise attack from Germany half of each year. China’s new Nationalist government held to its policy of blocking in every possible way any extensions of Japanese influence in Manchuria. C. T.

Straining to 1ift a heavy iron weight which his larger companions had dem- onstrated their ability to raise, John White, 30 years old, living at the Anglers’ Club, near Great Falls, Md., lost his balance and was fatally injured yesterday when his head struck a rock as he fell to the ground. At George- town Hospital, where he was taken In the automobile of one of his com= panions, he was pronounced dead on arrival. Coroner J. Ramsay Nevitt is- sued a certificate of death from frac- tured skull, hemorrhage and shock. White, with Louis Stewart of Great Falls, James I Ricketts of Cabin John and Clarence E. Jenkins, an ironworker of this city, was rambling through an old abandoned gold mine near Stewart's home, when they came across the weight. Jenkins described it as a part of a “pop valve” and estimated its weight at 125 pounds. In a spirit of friendly rivalry the four men staged an impromptu weight-lift- ing contest. Jenkins said he was the only one who could lift it above his head. White, the smallest man in the group, was the last to attempt to lift the weight. He had hoisted it nearly to his shoulder when suddenly he fell backward “as though his heart had given out,” according to Jenkins. Al- though his companions say they did | not see his head hit a stone, and assert the weight fell free of body, Bethesda police concluded, on the strength of the coroner’s certificate, that White's head must have struck a rock. After taking White to the hospital his companions reported the incident to_the Bethesda police station. White was a friend of Stewart, but Jenkins said he met him for the first (1.;1’dw yesterday.
