As the arms (conference approaches the season of Its tiomeatous decisions there are indtca lons of constantly showing support for the principles suggested at the outset ty the American government. 4 Behind the "6-6-J" rallo of naval strength the American delegates are mustering Increasing pressure with ev ery confidence of Success despite the effort of Japan to secure a modifica tion in her favor. Similarly, In the far eastern negotia tions, the American "four points" 'are (becoming "more and more a real char ter of rights for China, guiding the policy of the conference as It begins discussion of the presence of foreign troops on Chinese soil. The American determination to stand solidly behind the "5-5-J" naval ratio was reiterated with even greater emphasis "today as a reflex from the statement of Vtce-Admlral Kato that Japan must have a larger proportion ate strength, If her national needs are to be adequately served. On the side of actual progress the day's developments were confined to 'he far eastern negotiations, the repre sentatives of the nine participating na tions agreeing to a declaration for abolition of their extraterritorial rights pn China. The acceptance of that prin ciple through application of the Amer ican "four points" was regarded gen erally as a long step toward the llb teratlon of China from foreign admin istration, although the exaot date of withdrawal is to be determined by each of the nations tor itself after an In ternational commission has investi gated ths facilities of the Chinese ju dicial system. HARDING WANTS AUREKWRNT e FOR CONFERENCES IN FLT4JRB (By AMOelated Pr.) Washington, Nov, 39. Adoption of a definite agreement for future meetings to discuss world problems is hoped for by President Harding before the arms conference ends. It was revealed today that, although the President does not propose to In troduce formally the subject into the negotiations here until the naval and ,far eastern discussions have reached a decision, he doei expect that before the delegates separate they will agree on a plan by which similar discussions will take place in the future. At the same time it was mads known that In drafting the framework of bis ;;i'an the President was ondervorlng t avoid the impression that any result ing "association of nations" might become a rival of the league of nations organised at Versailles-. In hlghost ad ministration quarters tt was declared that Mr. Harding had no desire to In terfere with the league, and hoped only to find a way by which the na tions could .be brought togetherfor. consultation in the oommon interest. ' To what detail the President's pro posal had been reduced was not re pealed, nor was It made known by what methed the subject would be brought formally before the arms con ference. On the other hand, there were Indications thnt een the informal dis cussions now proceeding with regard .to the project would, be subordinated las much as possible at the present 'stage of the conference, and that fur ther Information regarding It would I be withheld until the time Is consid ered ripe for Its formal submission. , . Until that time, too, administration i officials expect to refrain from com ment on the widespread speculation that the President's suggestion has .aroused. It is said to be the feeling I of these officials that to keep the question in prominence now might In terfere with, the 'plan to keep the at tention of the conference centered wholly on the naval and far eastern problems until they are solved.

Despite the fact that no one takes very aeriously the possibility of a break between the United States and Japan over the na val ratio, there la no mistaking the mounting pessimism In most quarters over the prospects of the present con ference. The fact is the French have gone home; the Italians are gdlng. neither the Dutch nor the Belgians dis guise the lack of interest which the present and future of the proceedings have for them, while the British jour nallsts pretty generally betray their country s disappointment The cause of the pessimism and dis appointment is not hard to discover. From the European point of view the conference was looked forward to a meeting which was going In some way, not quite discoverable In advance, to make the conditions of life and the circumstances of national existence and International relations on that continent more tolerable. And today the whole business is comprehended, to use the phrase of one foreign ob server, in the endeavors of some diplo matists, sitting in private conference, deciding upon the number of obsolete ships to be scrapped and to pass some pious resolutions regarding China, which cannot be enforced and are not In the least likely to be observed when force Is lacking. Europe Two Hurts. Europe feels two things quite manl festedly: ' First, that a new effort to Interest the United States In Its situa tion has failed, not only aa the Paris conference failed ultimately, but in the present case that the American refusal has been prompt and unconditional. Europe feels also quite as plainly that the Anglo-French rumpus of recent days has had a widespread and evil effect In the United States In confirm ing the determination of Amerlcnas generally to keep out of European en' tanglements. When Mr. Hughes mads his opening address which so thrilled that audience which waa the American public, the applause of both Europe and Asia was polite rather than unrestrained. It was a faint echo of the applause which greeted Wilson when he first unfolded to Euronn his plan for a league ot na tions. But having applauded. Europe and Asia both waited to see what ref erence would be made later to sub Jects In which they were vitally con cerned. At the second, open session, when Mr. Hughes did not open the far eastern question, the Japanese sat back with evident relief and accepted the far eastern question as disposed ot, that is to say, they appreciated at once that the United States was not to undertake to defend China by force or challenge the accomplished Cacts of Japanese power in the far east. Other Hope Dead. There remained the hopes of the various EuroDean nations, and par- tlcularly the hope ot the itriusn, inn the United States,- by insisting -rn land disarmament should bo discussed seriously, would open the way to the reduction of the French army, which Is the nightmare of England. There was a similar hope on the part of the French that some sign would come from Mr. Hughes that the country would take up the pledge of Mr. Wil (Continued on page four ) HUnt HV IIOY'g SKILL I HHOKKV HY BASEBALL BAT ibriil la ball, Netl.)

DECISION DRAWING NEAR If Is No Secret That American Delegation Expects Japan to Accept Ratio. JAPAN IS A BIT HOGGISH Wants To Be Allowed To Construct Tonnage Adding 17 Per Cent To Her Navy After Other Pow ers Have Stopped Untldlnaj (Br Anoclatea rrm.1 Washington, Nov. 29. Tha pur pose of the American delegation to the arma conference to accept modlflca tion of Secretary Hughes' proposed "6-5-! ratio" of naval strength as the fundamental basis of any limitation agreement was authoritatively reiter ated today. The statement was back ed by disclosure of the facts as to ex lstlng naval strength. This showed Japan to have less than the (0 per cent status to which the "6-6-1" plan would entitle her, no matter what method ot calculation waa applied. It showed also that the American delegates had been over the whole field before offering the plan and that their figures were correct Meanwhile, Prince Tokugawa of the Japanese delegation declared that the statement yesterday ot Vice Admiral Kato of the Japanese advisory staff contending for a 70 per cent status for Japan was based . on "personal opinion" alone. It waa not, the prince said, sponsored by the delegation of which Vice Admiral Kato Is not a member. Prince Tokugawa would not reveal, however, the actual views of the Japanese delegates as to what per centage Japan would insist upon in fleet strength. He said the tour dele gates were determining this for them selves, Independently of any addition al Instructions from Toklo. He would not say whether a decision actually had been reached yet. Decision Drawing Near. While these developments indicate more strongly that a decision of this fundamental question was drawing near, the arma conference itself mark ed time. A further meeting ot the naval experts ot the United States and Japan, scheduled for today, was post poned for 24 hours at request of the Japanese. The Americans were not Informed as to the reason lof this postponement. At Japanese headquar ters It waa said further time to ex amine figures supplied by the Amer icans was needed. In any case, the naval experts of the three powers chiefly concerned are scheduled to meet tomorrow in fur ther sub-committee deliberations. Their work cannot deal with any ma jor factor in the American naval plan, however, for today a revelations snow ed that these constitute a closed chap ter of proceedings;' " ' "" ' The British experts have fully ac cepted the accuracy of the original American fleet estimates. The Japan ese have been able to produce no fig ures competent to challenge success fully the American snowing. There were hints that a plenary ses sion of the arms conference might be called next week. This could not be confirmed in any authoritative quarter. It Is known, however, that when that meeting is called, It will mean that the delegates are preparing to reach decision- There Is no present expectation that the fundamental question of the 6-5-3 ratio or any other major point will be worked out at the plenary session. Officials closest to the negotiations ex pect that informal meetings between the various delegates win bring aooui the ultimate agreement by personal touch. It will then be translated Into conference action. - Expect Jnpan to Accept. It Is no secret that the American group expects Japan to accept the 5-6-3" ratio. It Is also equally Clear that the United States will not accept any enlargement of the status offercl to Japan. That was clear to tne mosi causual observer after the American delegates, with the exception of Sena tor Underwood, who could not be pres ent, Rgiln talked over the naval situa tion today In Secretary Hughes' office. Mr. Hughes, Senator Lodge, Mr. Root and Mr. Underwood are known to be of one mind on this and to be backed by the full approval of President Harding and all administration officers. The American group has no doubt that American publlo opinion fully supports the "6-5-H" ratio. It was made clear today that if the question ot national security brought up by Vice-Admiral Kato. were considered, a ratio ot even 10 to t in capital ship strength as to Japan would not ade quately express American needs or British needs. It was for that reason that the American plan discarded any attempt to calculate fleet ratios in terms of national needs. There was no way from that standpoint, it was said authoritatively, to give Japan a pro portion of more than f0 per cent of the strength ot any other power. So. it was added, the scheme of cal culating in capital ship tonnage the present existing strength of each of the three major navies and cutting otr further building by agreement waa worked out. Then to Induce an agree ment, a percentage for Japan exceed ing her existing strength was offered by the United States. And that was " Der cent The basic principle of the plan Is "to stop where you are." It was asserted on authority of the American group that worked it out. Japanese claims for a 70 per cent ratio were character Ised as "very extravagant" In view of the existing strength ot her fleet. In reality, it was said, that figure would represent an Increase' of 17 per cent In the present Japanese naval power while the strength of Great Britain and the United States remained ata tlonary. ' All Must' ".top Together. It a race is to -be stopped at a given puint, all of the competitors must stop together, It was said. One of them cannot expect to run another 10 yards after the others have stopped; Yet It Is a fact that the Japanese In subcom mittee If not before the naval commit tee of the conference or the conference. Itself have urged that Japan be per mitted under an agreement reached by a conference called to limit naval armament to construct tonnage which wtMild add 17 per cent to her navy be forer stopping building. Vice Admiral Kalo'e contention for 70 per'cent has been actually present ed at the meetings of naval experts. Whether Is was presented by author Ity of the Japanese delegation Is doubtful, but it was recalled by Amer ican officials tonight that Admiral Baron Kato, a member of the dele gation, had formally snnounced to the (Continued o. page tour.j ROCKY MOUNT HOST TO CLUB WOMEN'S COUNCIL Speeehea, Hasle and Brilliant Reees- lion Part of First Day'a Dolaga.

ON THEIR GOOD BEHAVIOR " $ If Armament Conference Goes Well America May Jump Into International Pond. HARD TO MAKE PLUNGE Isolationists Ka-udy to Fight Any At tempt to Get Into Mire o( Europe And Help Get Her Out Big gest Problem Introduced. Datlr Nen Bureau and TtlnTii (Ultra. 2S albsa Bulldlm I Br Unlet Wirt) By C. W. GILBERT. (OvrrUsl. la'. Br ruiaMMiu. rucUp Inker.) Washington, Nov. tt. Frank A. Vanderllp's speech regarding the allied debt to this country has served to bring the rconomlo issue to the front In private discussion while committees and experts wrestle with the details of naval reductions and the far east. It may be said positively that the United States la not yet committed to the holding of an economlo conference following this gathering. But every one here expects at least a financial conference and the Europeans hope that It will be broad enough In scope to cover fundamental economic oues tlons. The truth Is that the greater Euro pean nations arc on their good be havlor. They are like the little boy who has been told or has been led to conclude that if he Is good he will have cake. That is one great reason why the present conference la run nlng so smoothly. If this meeting la a success, If it pleases the American people, It It reassures that good may come out of International conferences, then American publlo opinion may consent to discussing economics and a more permanent association of na tlons. Waiting For The Cake. Both the discussion of economics and of a more formal contact of the United States with their problems are blue ribbons which Europe may win by an exhibition of virtue. Now it may not be that any one has told the foreign nations precisely this. Perhaps they Just sense It. They have behaved badly at public meetings and trie great American" peo pie having plenty of cake, removed it trom the table and locked It In the closet, one experience Is enough, This does not apply to Japan, which la Indifferent to eoonomlo conferences But Japan has its special reasons for being good. It desires to put Itself In a more favorable light before the eyes of the Anglo-Saxons, who show a disposition to understand each other and work In harmony. And Huahes considerately and understandingly has maae it as easy as possible for al not na to-1 n ' own imr live tit tig good tie is asking nothing more than any one is easily ready to grant. He la as much Interested In staging a success as are they. And it Is apparent that In spits of crises and temporary mix upa he Is going to have a success with in the narrow limits laid down for this conference. The Greatest Reality, I speak of narrow limits because relatively to the broad problems be tore the world, such as the plunging of Europe Into the abyss of which Mr. Wells speaks, the territorial Integrity of China Is a minor Issue and besides the economlo disaster from which the whole earth suffers, the saving of few hundred millions annually upon battleships is equally minor. Great as the things Mr. Hughes Is doing might seem In normal times they only pave the way In the mind of European nations here, and fro the glimpse we had the other day of Mr. Harding's thoughts, In the mind ot the American administration, for an approach to the greater realities. The greatest reality of all Is the economic chaos In which the war left the earth, the problem, as Mr. Barueh used to call it at Paris, ot getting the world back to work. Shall that reality be approached? The Europeans bellove that If this conference succeeds will be, and the Americans encourage that belief. That I have good reason for saying is aa far as they have gone There are difficulties. The Irrecon cllable dies hard. President Harding probably untimely reference to an association of nations, a mild and denatured association of nations, with out any covenant and of course with no article X, brought Senator Borah to his feet. To do much In an economlo confer ence the Harding administration mus have the authority that the war dobt funding bill would confer upon It And that has not passed. Irreconcll able opposition to It has not been lessened by Mr. Harding's confidence of recent date nor by the belief quit generally held that this conference Is but the opener for the real conference at which the job of getting the world back to work, so that Europe can pro duce goods and buy our goods will b seriously undertaken. On Road to Co-operation. This conference has started thl country upon the road of International co-operation. The other countries of the world have co-operated with u here to an unexampled degree. Turn about Is fair play. The next move I co-operation Is ours. Ths isolationist know this. They must stop what I now started before tho realities of th world's eoonomlo distress are faced their cause Is lost. Some conference will certainly fol low this. It may not turn out to be broad enough in scope to be -genuine ly economic. It may not deal badly with the Immense load of uncollect able foreign debts and their relation to German reparations and to the depre elated paper of Kurope. It may, thoug described largely, as economic, be real ly only fliuineliil, an the present fcrence Is loosely spoken of as a dls armament conference when it Is real ly one on the limitation of naval armaments. It will busy Itself wltli furnishing a stable International medium of exchange and shirk th more formidable task of setting th world upon Its feet, Implying all th It does about Ocrmany and France and Russia and our carefully guard ed . pile of nearly worthless forelg paper.

Then after recovering from the suc cession of collapses, which took place Ithln a few minutes of each other, the famous specialist, deaf to the pleadings of his American colleagues, Insisted upon 'going to another hos pital where new scores of poor people were clamoring for his ministrations.
