1aPER CENT GAINS SHOWN BY STEEL Plants Running at 38 Per Cent Capacity—50 Held Possible. By the Assoclated Press. PITTSBURGH, Pa., December 14.— Steel, the lethargic giant of American industries, showed signs of new life today. Word from down the Ohio River told of an increasing glow from open hearths and finishing mills that will help light the candles or many work- ers’ Christmas trees. After a conference in which ship- ping schedules were discussed, A. R. Kennedy, veteran traffic expert of the Pittsburgh Steel Co., voiced the sen- timent by saying: 15 Per Cent Increase. “Almost every one was planning a 15 per cent increase in business over last year’s first quarter. General steel operations, outside the heavy mate- rial, are about 38 per cent of capacity now, and it would not be surprising to see this increased to 50 per cent.” An official of the Carnegie Steel Co., a subsidiary of United States Steel, said: “Our business has gradually im- proved during the last few weeks, get- ting a little bit better every week.” Actual developments and some ex- pectations include: Wheeling and Wierton steel corpo- rations, Follansbee Bros. and Ameri- can Sheet & Tin Plate, with mills in Weirton, Follansbee and Wheeling, W. Va.,, and Steubenville, Yorkville, To- ronto and Martins Ferry, Ohio, an- nounce increased operations. Wierton rehires 500 at one mill after long lay- ©off, others near 100 per cent capacity operation for first time in months. $12,000,000 Detroit Plant. F. T. Weir announces §$: 00,000 Detroit plant to start “within six | months.” Henry Ford announces $6,000,000 addition to his new mill.

Steel and concrete needed for al- ready started $12,000,000 Tygarts | Dam, near Grafton, W. Va— $6.000,000.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. Saturday, December 15, is pey day for the United States. Another war debt installment is due on that day, but nobody will come to the cashier’s window except little Finland, with a very meager check. As a matter of fact, Finland is not a war debtor. The money it owes was loaned to her after the war to feed her starving people and put her house in order. The Treasury Department has sent reminders to the debtor nations. The answers have been pouring in since last week. They all said the same thing: The world ecgnomic situation has not changed materially yet and the debtor nations cannot see any reason why they should resume pay- ment or start negotiations for the settlement of the debt problem. * X % X The British have been very polite in their refusal, but the whole cabinet was unanimous in turning down the idea of a payment of any kind. The French cabinet was less united. Edouard Herriot, who is again a member of the Flandin ad- ministration, reiterated his convic- tion that a settlement should be made. It was really immaterial what Herriot’s opinion was; he knew full well that he will not be followed, either by his other col- leagues or by the Parliament. But it was a gesture which put him in a different light in this country and that might be helpful some day. Speculation is rife in certain polit- ical quarters in Paris as to whether Herriot is preparing the ground for an eventual ambassadorship to Amer- ica, should he be shelved temporarily in the reshuffling of the frequently changing French cabinets. ko French newspapers have been dis- cussing the debt problem lately. One of the leading Paris journals | wonders whether the State Depart- | ment will continue to send debt no- tices to Paris for the next 50 years, since France is entered in the Treas- ury Department’s books as a debtor until June 15, 1987. ok e ok Philippe Bertholot, a leading figure in the field of international politics while he was permanent undersecre- tary of the French foreign office, died a few days ago. He was one of the chief engineers of the entente between Great Britain and France, which was established before the war. Bertholot was a realist and viewed with skepticism the efforts of his chief Briand to bring about universal | peace through the League of Nations and multilateral treaties. He was a strong believer in a good eld-fash- ioned secret military and political agreement. When Briand talked to him about his various pacts and concluded his conversations with the expression, “Everything will be arranged in the “Yes, M. le President, but it will be ar- ranged for the worse.” * k x X There is only one nation left in the world which does not want to recognize Russia’s increasing role in international politics and refuses to renew relations with that country. That is Switzerland. It reluctantly | permits Russian citizens to enter its | territory when the League of Nations holds its session at Geneva, but out- side that it has nothing to do with the Russians. Disgusted with the at- titude of the other powers, such as Great Britain, France and the United States, which have all recognized the Moscow regime, and some, like France, actually entered into an al- liance with Russia, Switzerland is turning toward Germany and to a lesser degree toward Japan, which communicate lflter or m person with me.

The matter was immediately taken up by Geneva and, as usual, Hungary, the weaker nation, was made the scapegoat, while Italy’s name was never mentioned. Ferdinand Veverka, at present Czechoslovakian Minister at Washing- ton, was the prosecutor for the Little Entente and he conducted his case with great skill, refusing to introduce the names of the senders. The Italian delegate, Scialoja, was very grateful and thanked Veverka when the trouble was over. Veverka accepted the compliments of his colleague and added: “We are going to build a memorial on the border where the cases were discov- ered, and will dedicate it to the ‘un- known sender.’” ENGLISH WOMEN TO GIVE DRIVING EXAMINATIONS 200 Female Inspectors to Be Named to Test Ability of Their Sex at Wheel.

LONDON, December 14.—Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto of Japan told Ad- miral William H. Standley of the United States today that Japan was most_sincere in a desire for a new naval treaty mutually satisfactory to Japan, the United States and Great Britain. He expressed this hope in the course of a secret visit he paid the United States Naval Delegation’s headquar- ters. At the same time he urged that the United States not use Japan’s forth- coming denunciation of the Washing- ton Naval Treaty of 1922 as an ex- cuse for the formal termination of the present naval conversations among the three powers, and suggested that the Americans agree with the British and the Japanese in setting a date for the resumption of conversations next year, when an agreement could be considered. The admiral told the Americans the formal termination of the conversa- tions with the denunciation, which is expected to be made next Thursday, would only make the situation worse. He protested that it was unfair to blame the Japanese for the failure of the conversations just because Japan denounces the treaty which specified the present 5—5—3 ratio of the three powers’ navies. Admiral Standley did not give Ad- miral Yamamoto any indication that the American attitude would change, although it was revealed that he dis- cussed the situation with Norman H. Davis, the United States Ambassador- at-Large. The Americans, it was understood, | feel there is no reason to set a date for the resumption of the conversa- tions unless the Japanese guarantee that an agreement would be possible at that time.

CHICAGO, December 14.—Judge Joseph B. David is being swamped with orders for plain divorces for $5 and fancy ones for $7.50. A little speech he made the other day apparently was misunderstood. He said that when people can’t get along and wish to be separated the cost for ordinary divorces should be around $5, but that if the applicants insisted on paying more the decrees should be wrapped in fancy packages and the cost put up to $7.50. But divorces aren’t down to this cost level yet. A resident of Mississippl wrote this request: “Dear Judge. Please send me one of those $5 divorces c. 0. d.” A woman wrote the judge: “I sure wish I was free. * * * My husband is not the working kind so I can't get anything from him, and consequently your $5 or $7.50 divorces.” — Catholic Club Elects.
