This Is the almost unanimous opinion of the Sun day newsoaoers. the editorial writers of which devote columns today In at tempts to forecast the result. Sir James Craig, the Tjlster premier, held two lengthy conferences with Prime Minister Lloj-d George yesterday ut the latter's request, but the pre miers are unofficially reported to have made no advance toward an accommo dation of their respective views. The conferences are supposed to have dealt with the proposal to enlarge the con stitution and powers of the council of Ireland, dcllmlnatlon of the frontiers between the north and south, protec tion of minorities and other possible bases for settlement which have been tentatively agreed upon by the British and sinn foln representatives. "Not since the end of 1916," says the Sunday Times, "Has the political situa tion been so Interesting, so critical, so full of hope, and at the same time so uncertain and likely 'to fly off on unex- At the Cross Roads. "We may be on the point of settling the Irish problems. On the other hand, disappointment, which Is still possible, would not only leave Ireland in a worse state than before, but would have far-reaching .effeots on our own t domestlo politics split the unionist party and either take Premier George Into temporary retirement or put him at the head of a new coalition." The News of the , World, which is credited with enjoying especial favor In Downing street, says the Irish confer ence is at the cross roads, and that, should Mr. Lloyd George be unable to bring about a settlement "on cards" that Is, on the basis of the terms al ready laid down he may resign. The newspaper says It understands that the premier has canceled his arrange ments for a week-end sojourn at Chequers court, his country estate,. so an to confer with cabinet members "'"concerning 1 situation Of deepening erravltv." " i The Weekly Dispatch also asks whether Ulster wl)l take an attitude which will permit peace In Ireland. It heralds as two events "of highest In teresf'the re-entry Into the political arena of A. Bonar Law, and a meeting, hitherto unmentloned In the press, of Mr. Law, Viscount Birkenhead and Sir George Younger, tory party manager, w. have thus." says the newspaper.

The Issue Is even more momentous r . v. t hnn the Washington arms conference, declares the Weekly nh.m.r which adds: "Nor can Brit ish statesmanship give effective mind to the vast American program until light Is struck through the darkness of Irish misery."

D&lll Rrai emus ue Ttlftraps OTSr. Tfci Um suiunnc si Uuh em) By THEOHPRE TILLER. Washington, Nov. I. A special sen ate committee will undertake ' this week Investigation of the most sensa tlonal and far-reaching charges ever brought against the war department and particularly the command of the American expeditionary force In the world war. Just what, during tour or five days of hectla debate In the sen ate, has Senator Tom Watson, of Geor gla, charged against the American army! Below will be found a resume of his more startling allegations, which were scattered through bis several speeches. Senator Chamberlain s expose of conditions In army camps And canton ments In the early days of the mobil isation for war were mild compared to the Watsonlan Indictment. The Georgia senator always a fiery talk er, a crusader, generally at odds (tth mo powera inai do in nis picturesque career has gone so far now that he cannot turn back. He must make good his charges or be seriously discounted hereafter In the senate. Senator Wat' son Is lawyer enough to know It and says he will produce the proof. Many members of the senate were aroused at first that the form of the )BYsygailoj:eaQ)utlfln.thun'iedly passed, carried the thought of Investi gating the accuser as well as the ac cused. Senators Simmons and Reed were among the veterans who brought about modification of the resolution on the ground that the senate should not be apparently In the attitude of Inves- tlgatlng one of Its own member for statements and charges made on the floor. It will be recalled that onoe during the debate Senator Watson, waving his fist at the Republicans almost screamed that "you have' said you would butt my head against the wall; come on over here and butt It" As the resolution now stands the senatorial dignity of WatBon Is saved. but it la unquestionably up to him to produce bis proof. Sujumarr ot Charges. A summary ot the Watson charges range from allegations of minor and major abuses of American soldiers In hospitals, iaaihargs that fete-men wsntte nd blaok, were kanae lw Franee without court-martial or other form of trial. All these charges are Indignantly denied by General Pershing and the present secretary of war. Among his mors horrifying statements la that the body of a negro soldier, who was hang' ed was sent back to this country- skull cap and all as the body of the son of an aged white couple In New York, All these things. Mr. Watson says. he brings "on his responsibility as a senator'' to the attention of the sell' ate. The Georgia senator, even, In moments of excitement, must have ap predated the gravity of such a state ment, So shocking and far-reaching was Mr, Watsons Indictment against the conduct of the war that the senate without opposing vote created a spe cial committee, headed by Senator Brandgee, of Connecttcutt, to Invest! gate. Senator Watson declined to pre sent anything to the military affairs committee, strongly Intimating if not saying outright that he regarded that committee as prejudiced in favor ot the war department and Intent upon giving a -whitewash report. Here, In brief, are the outstanding charges brought by Senator Watson against the army during the past four oays on the floor of the senate: That a private soldier was freauent ly shot by his officers because ot some complaint against officers' Insolence. That In France the American army "had gallowes upon which men were hanged, day aftor day. without court- martial or any other form of trial." That there la In existence a photo graph of a gallows upon which il white boys already had been executed at sunrise when the picture was taken, and there were others "waiting In the camp to be hanged morning after morning. That In the hospitals American sol diers were neglected and "the officers made courtesans of too many of the nurses, not all of them, but too many or mem. ' Again, that "In the hospitals, on the roausme, wounded, suffering and dying, those men were treated Inhumanly." That there was gross waste and ex travagance. Including the sacrificing ul n.uuu automoDiies by flood "I here say," charged Senator Wat son further, "that this country never nas learned one half of what our sol dlers suffered. I have had the private soldier tell me that he would march on tne wet, cold, half frosen ground, bare rootea, pegging for shoes, when we all know, we had mountulni shots ready to give away to France, apparently." According to Senator Watson, "one of the leading doctors, perhaps the leading doctor, of the state sanitarium or tieorgla, told me at mv house when he was attending me that a head nurse of one of the hospital wards told him mat in one night 65 of these young men died of pneumonia because they were not sufficiently covered with blank and did not have sufficient attention.1 Once Senator Watson dramatically Informed the Senate that "I can prove ineue soldiers were made to go on useless nikes nnd unnecessarily ex (Continued on Page Four.)

Believed To Mean More Than Inerenae Of Bnnhlnsr WtrengU. New York, Nov. f Little ehange oame Into the stock market during the past week, and in other markets sev eral very peculiar tendenoles resulted from the nature of the various devel opments reported. Thus, while stock averages were a trifle below those of last week on Friday bonds snjoyed a degree of buoyancy not felt In a long time, and transaottone In that depart ment fixed, or at least closely approxi mated, new records for volume. Gov ernment bonds rose to new high ree ords for the year. On the other hand, wheat crashed Into tne lowest ground ot years, breaking below fl a bushel for December delivery; corn followed suit, and cotton was also decidedly weaker. No barometer of bualness conditions Is as sensitive to varying Influences as the stock market. The strength In bonds was primarily the result of easy money, as epitomised by the simul taneous reduction of the rediscount rate In eight federal reserve banks, and the later reduction In the remaining banks of the system. By their nature, bonds are not as susceptible to outside Influences as stocks. The sharp rise In bonds served td withdraw a good deal of Interest from stock trading, and one of the consequences was that last Frl dRv was the dullest dav In a consider able period, whereas the preceding Fri day was the first million share day in weeks. The lower prices of grains and cot ton, since they signify decreased pur chasing power for the farmer and nlanter. naturally have a depressive effeot on stocks. By contrast, bonds are so much more attractive as invest ments. Nevertheless strength In bonds at this time, very much as last August when Industrial stocks were at their low point In years, signifies general Improvement, which will be passed on to stocks In the not distant future. As tbe price of bonds rise to a point where the factor of greater safety la counterbalanced by the higher yield offered by good preferred stocks, e mand for the latter I sure to Increase, and this class of stocks can then be expected to advanoa materially, lm nrovement la passed on eventually to eommon stocks In the same way. The Msao, -o, olapss- to rneaaured fundamew-r tally r mhvm Buatnaia rnunTarg, Stock Benelo I Order. Aside from the factors referred to above, It was not surprising that the stocks failed to break tnrougn me previous high points of this movement made on Friday ana Saturday, or ins previous week. In the nrst place good deal ot stock held for the recov. ery was disposed of at the nigner lev els. The market has been moving without serious Interruption .of the upswing for a month or, more, and reaction Is In order If for no other than technical reasons. The precedent ot a reason&l decline at about this period Is likely to be a strong innuence, Within a month or so, selling to estab lish losses may be a factor also, al though the movement of stocks In all hut a few cases, such as Mexican ft troleum and one ortwo others, Is not compatible with the Idea of heavy selling or buying to record losses. At any rate, this faotor la likely to be nulte negligible by comparison with tbe last few years. Expectation of a decline within week or so Is prevalent In all Wall street quarters, but the short Interest already erected In anticipation of It may be a stumbling block. On Thurs day last no less than 29 Issues were loaned flat, and several commanded premiums. On Friday there was little change In the situation, una result was strong resistance to pressure lata In ths week. Another may be the post ponement of reaction to a later period But there la no aasuranoe tnat tne ap parent short Interest Is genuine and that the premiums and flat loaning rats have not been Imposed merely be cause controlling Interests saw a chance for profit. The Redlneenat Reduction, The outstanding development of the week naturally was the rediscount rate reduction by the 18 federal reserve banks. New York, Philadelphia and Boston now enjoy a 4i4 per cent rate and In other centers rates of CVi and 6 per cent are asked. As far as New York la concerned the cut was the fifth since May t. But none of the previous reductions were on a nation-wide seals, and Wall street was quick to attach a significance beyond that of banking strength and piling up gold to the concerted credit During the early days ot the week Secretary, of the Treasury Mellon was quoted In refer ence to the strength of finances and when ths lower rate followed so soon (Continued On Page Two.)

Japan Urgently Wants oil Good Terms JAPAN FOR PEACE Ablest Japanese Statesmen En gaged In Task Of Helping Japan Find Her Place GET IN TOUCH WITH WEST (BiiiHclttsarna.) Washington, Nov. f . Japan ' enters the week of the opening of the arma ment conference with a orltlcal politi cal situation at home, with a national economic situation that la causing her leaders apprehension, and with her relations with foreign powers, particu larly the United States. Great Britain and China, viewed by her foreign of fices as at least open to Improvement Many of the ablest Japaneae are now either In Washington or In other parts of the United States engaged In toe task of helping their country find Us true place In the world. The present situation Is frankly at tributed by responsible Japanese to the faot that In her rapid absorption ot western civilisation, Japan has not realised the Inevitable effeot ot that civilisation upon her own countrymen who have awakened to a spirit ot liberalism and are demanding more from the state as Individuals. Develop ed into an Industrial nation from an agricultural one, Japan, more and more dependent upon her industrial work ers. Is finding them almost Insatiable In their demands, and recalcitrant at a time when the coat of living la high' er than In any other country, and when the country' manufactured pro ducts are with difficulty finding a world market In competition with those ot other countries where labor la cheaper, where thrift has become habit, and where the workman' ef' flclenoy Is greater. The Industrial situation In Japan I believed to be cause of the prevailing unrest. In foreign political relation, ths Japanese people, a a whole are entire' ly dissatisfied with the trend of af fairs between their oountry and the United States. Everybody seems to realise the vague-estrangement that have developed slnoe the epooh of the Russo-Japanese war when the Jap anese felt that they enjoyed the sym pathy and approval of the American people. One great cause of that estrange ment, Japanese explain, Is the fact that It was the United State that con stantly protested a Japan, from time to-time made political move In con nection with her expansion In the tar east. The effect of this was to produce upon Japanese minds the impression that America, and America alone, was beoomlng Jealous of Japan's swift as cendency In the world, and was at tempting to check It. This Idea Is fre quently voloed In the press of Japan where politician claim that their oountry ha don no mors than other nation in the past There is reason to believe that the 1 00mn. g0 many representative jf,p4n, tn tjnttedt Status repra. ,tM fo ana -thlngy-t, glnoerBjffort to get In touch with the west, because Japan, associated with the Occident for scarcely more than a half eentury has REMAINJNTHE CITY Rev.

The Tokio correspondent ot tne As sociated press has been assured by re sponsible spokesmen that, however much war talk may be Indulged In by sensational Japanese, the real Japan know the necessity and urgency ot re moving any feeling ot estrangement and of returning to the earlier day of friendly co-operation. Business leaders, during tne voyage aoross the Pacific en route to Washing ton, (aid: "War with the United State I unthinkable for us. For one thing, our lack of : natural resouroes would make It Impossible." ., Others frankly referred to the abaurd ambitions of Japanese chauvinists and said that they were so Insular that they Judged all world problem from the standpoint of Japan alone. The leaders Insisted that the motto of present day Japan was that ex pressed recently In Tokio by Viscount Maklno, minister of the Imperial house hold when Crown Prince Hlrohlto re turned from Europe, namely, that the recognition of the International Inter dependence ot Japan must be her guid ing principle and that Japan, Isolated and alone, could not prosper. The third matter of concern to Jap anese is understood to be the failure of British statesmen to agree upon a re newal ot the alliance, or military pact. with Japan. Irrespective of the ques tion mr tirhat' rwerg"e'irwT-th-r alllanoe was directed against, the agreement continues automatically un til denounced by either party but both hav agreed that whenever Its terms are not In harmony with ths covenant of the league ot nations, It is the cove nant, and not the alliance Itself, which shall prevail.
