PROPOSAL RESTRICTING U-BOAT WARFARE ACCEPTED BY FRANCE. FBOHIBIIIDN OH SUBMARINES British Acceptance Already Given; Tokio and Rome Not Expected To Fight It. Washington. The American pro posal to prohibit the use of subnia- the predominant issue of the arms negotiations, has been accepted in principle by France, but her dele gates have reserved final approval pending a discussion of the precise language of the declaration. Ilritish acceptance previously has been given and, although neither the Italians nor the Japanese had receded final instructions there were indica tions that neither Rome nor Tokio would Interpose serious objection if the proposal received France's full approval. The exact nature of the French res ervation was not revealed, but the Impression was gathered in some quarters that it might concern such a definition of the terms of the declaration as would make it ilea.' just what conduct would be expected from merchantmen in view of their immunity from submarine attack. Should that point be raised, an in teresting and many-sided discussion might result, for in several quar ters there has been apparent a ten I dency toward the opinion that the term "merchant ship" should be strictly defined with express stip ulations as to whether merchantmen ' are to he permitted to arm and j whether It is to be permissible to disguise warships as vessels of com- merce. ; The French delegation, however, j making know n their acceptance in : principle, has emphasized that they i not only agree to the original pro ! posal of Elihu Root that the new ! prohibition on submarine warfare ; become effective when all nations have agreed to it, but also to the amendment of Arthur J. Balfour which would make the prohibition immediately effective as between the i five great powers. j At the same time the French have 'accepted the additional Root declara tion under which any submarine com i mander violat ng the rules of inter national law would be liable to trial I for an act of conspiracy. I In regard to this also acceptances ! still are awaited from the other for eign governments. It is possible the delegates' instructions will be suffi jciently complete, however, to permit a meeting of the naval committee of j the whole. j The French acceptance was com-' mtinicnted to Secretary Hughes by Ambassador Jusserand. while the for imal proceedings of the conference jwere passing through another period of outward Inactivity, hut while de- velopments that touched on several other important issues of the Wash ington negotiations were stirring be hind the scenes. German Flag Flies in New York. New York. Germany's flag reap peared among those of other nations which fly from the tall buildings of New York's financial and shipping districts. It was unfurled from the same flagpole, stop No. 11, Broadway, from which it was hauled down in the spring of 1917, and marked the loca tion of the re-established consular of fices of the new German republic. For more than a week representa tives of Consul General Karl Lang temporary charge d'affaires of his government in Washington- had been preparing for a reopening of the of fices. Szchenyl is Hungarian Minister. Budapest. Count Laszlo Szechenyl has been appointed Hungarian minis ter to the United States. He now is in Washington. Countess Szchenyl was formerly Gladys M. Vanderbilt, of New York. School For Soldiers Delayed. Washington. Action of the propos ed establishment of a vocational train ing university for former service men in the south may be delayed for a week or more, it was said at the vet erans' bureau. Camp Johnston, at Jacksonville, Fla., is understood to have been given favorable consideration as a site for the proposed Institution, which it is planned to put Into operation in one of the former army cantonments of the south. Fletcher to Succeed Whltlock. Washington. The nomination of Henry P. Fletcher, under secretary of state, to he ambassador to Belgium, was announced at the White House. Fleet Off For Practice. New York Units of the Atlantic fleet, which have their winter base at the New York navy yard, sailed for Guantanomn, Cuba, for their annual target practice maneuvers. The man euvers this year will be limited, due to restrictions in the appropriations for fuel. King Alfonso Not Coming. Washington. The Spanish embassy denied formally that King Alfonso plans a visit to the western hemis phere which, according to reports, was to have Included a tour of the United States. Canada to Mint Nickel. i Ottawa. Canada is to have a new five-cent piece, similar to the Amerl epn nickel. The old coin has been, "ri'le'sed IWaife of its resemblance 'n si'" t: n dime.

J DAY OF INTENSE EXCITEMENT The Future Control of the Irish Re publican Party Continues to be Subject of Speculation. Dublin. The treaty creating the Irish Free State was ratified by the Dail Kireaun. By a majority of seven votes. 64 to 5T, the Dail gave its ap proval to the document signed by its delegates at London. Coincidental!)-. Knnionu de Valera announced his resignation from the presidency of the Irish republic. The news was received with the greatest enthusiasm, and the patient crowds, which had waited for hours I outside the university building, in an ticipation of a decision, burst into cheering, even before the official fig ures were announced. Itatiflcatlou of the treaty came after a day of intense excitement and heated controversy. Although the result was as had been expected, the majority in favor of the agreement was greater than had been counted on almost up to the last miuute. A tense, strained silence prevailed while the vote was being taken, ami a gasp of relief went up from the sup porters of the treaty when the result was announced. A dramatic scene en sued, when de Valera stood up and in a broken voice, which vibrated with emotion, declared that "the republic'' must be carried on. After voting ratification of the treaty the Dail Kireann adjourned un til Monday. Before adjournment was taken Kamonn de Valera. having an nounced his resignation from the pres idency, asked that the members as sociated with him should meet him at the Mansion House. Michael Collins protested against the calling of such a partisan gather ing, whereupon Mr. de Valera rose to Insist on it, hut broke down and re sumed his seat amid hearty applause. The situation at the adjournment of the Dail appeared to remain chaotic. The Dail will meet on Monday and there is no disposition revealed by de Valera and his followers to abandon the factional struggle. The future control of the Irish re publican army is the subject of anx ious comment and speculation, as Charles Burgess, who strongly op posed the treaty, is the minister of defense. So far as the the public is concern ed, Dublin seems delighted over rati fication. Arthur Griffith and his col leagues on emerging from the parlia ment were wildly cheered nnd the city was In jubilant spirits. Churchmen Drink Varlnsh. Grand Rapids, Mich, Ten elders of the Seventh Reformed Church here were poisoned when they drank var nish that had been poured into a com munion cup in the belief that It was sacramental wine. Two of the elders were said to be In a critical condi tion. The church had been repaired and In the storeroom where the sacra mental wine Is kept In a jug several jugs of varnish used in the re-decorating hnd been stored. One of the. officials of the church is said to have mistaken the varnish for wine when he filled the communion cup during the church service. Pepper to Succeed Penrose. Philadelphia. Appointment of Geo. Wharton Peeper, of Philadelphia, as United States senator to succeed the late Boise Penrose, is expected to come from Givernor Sproul unless a last minute change la divided upon.

Jackson. Miss. Means of promoting the interests of the forestry in the South, taxation of timbered and cut over lands, forest fire protection, will take the foreground at the fourth Sou thern Forestry Congress, to meet here February 6, 7 and 8, it was learned. A number of well informed speakers have been asked to outline the needs for the best, protection of forestry in the South. Their talks, branching from the usual technical angle, will be pre sented in simple and brief manner. Prisoners Escape Through Sewer. Frankfort, Ky. Eight of the most desperate prisoners In the Kentucky state reformatory, including one who was serving a life term for murder, escaped from the main prison through a sewer. Seven of the men got out side the walls, but were recaptured within an hour, and the eighth was found two hours later hiding in the shirt factory. The delivery was planned by George Miller, of Covington, Ky., serving five years for robbery. Griffith to Head New Government. Dublin. It was freely predicted that Arthur Griffith, founder of the Sinn Fein and "vice-president of the Irish Republic," will be the first head of the new government of the Irish Free Btate. His title will probably be president of the cabinet. Griffith Is known as one of the clev erest writers of political pamphlets in Ireland. He spent considerable time In jail for his activities against the British in Irealnd. In appearance Griffith Is of low stature, with a thick black moustache. Kinston With the completion of work on new buildings at the Caswell Training School, state institution for the feeble minded here, the capacity of the school will be approximately 450 juveniles, it was stated by Dr. C. Banks McN'airy, the superintendent. Applications on file total "between 1.000 and 2.000." Dr. McNairy said, It is evident that the parents and guardians will send the majority of mental defectives in the state to the institution. Human interest abounds in messages being received at the rate of a score a day. The letters and telegrams are cluttering up the office of Dr. McNairy. He had expected relief for a portion of the applicants by now, but the build ings recently erected are not quite ready for occupancy, he stated. "I will notify the public as soon as we are prepered," he said. Many patients'' have been held at Kalclgh and at their homes since a series of tires at the school a year or two ago. When the new buildings have been taken over from the con tract this contingent will be given readmittance Immediately, Dr. Mc Nairy said. "Then we will take unfor tunates now held In orphanages, jails and county homes. After that we will receive as many as we can care for from the regular waiting list." Probably more than 1.000 will re main outside the school then, because after the preferred classes have been given accommodation the rchool will be able to take only two childre i from each of the counties. Dr. McNairy said Thus only 200 not previously entered at this or any other institution will find bed and board with (he common wealth here. Another Offer For Lease. Washington Another offer for a private lease and operation of the gov- i eminent s nitrate and water power properties at Muscle Shoals, Ala., was ! received by Secretary Weeks of the I war department. It was presented by Marion Butler, former United States senator from North Carolina, acting I as attorney for Frederick E. Engstrum, j president of the New port Shipbuilding company, of Wilmington, N. C, nnd was accompanied by a lengthy state ment explaining the offer in detail and comparing It with that sub mitted by Henry Ford, on which conference will be held next week with Secretary Weeks. The secretary was asked to give Mr. Engstrum a hearing at his convenience for the purpose of making further ex planation than was attached to the of fer when it was delivered. The new proposal is the third offer receivoy by i Mr. Weeks, that of C. C. Tinkler of San Francisco, being the second. Ne gotiations between the Secretary and proponents of the various Interests in volved, it was said, would proceed in dependently until a final selection was made and the whole transaction sub mitted to congrsss in a report by the war secretary for its ultimate decis ion. Chief provisions of Mr. Engstrum's bid, which guarantees completion of the dams and nitrate plants, tho lat ter being remodeled to manufacture that product, according to the most approved system for commercial products of the kind, call for an expenditure of $36,000,000 by a cor poration to be formed, operation of at least one plant within a year after the property comes within his pos session and covers a contract of pro duction for '50 years. Another feature of the offer In volves the sale of excess power devel oped and use of the profits derived in a way that is intended to reduce the selling price of fertilizer to farmers and other buyers to a rate equal or lower than that at which the Chilean product could be sold in this country. The price would be fixed by the sec retary of agriculture and the govern ment would have two directors se lected to care for its interests in the possession of the corporation, Guards Will Be Mustered Out. Hickory. The Hickory Home Guard will be mustered out of service as soon as the payroll can ba signed by the various members and other details at tended to, It was said. The Hickory company did patrol duty at Charlotte during the car barn riots, and this was the extent of its service to the stae. The pay won't amount to much but the men must sign up or remain in the reserve malitia the rest of their lives or until given a dishonorable dis charge, It was declared. They will sign readily. .

Hickory Chamber Join In Protest. Hlckory.-The Hickory Chamber of Commerce has Joined In the protest iJgnlnst the proposed new freight rates from Virginia cities and Sec retary Van Hetrvle has written a vig orous letter to the Interstate com merce commission. Hickory manu facturers are always ready to help in freight rate adjustment and they are hopeful that the discriminations practiced exclusively and extensively against Hickory will be removed when the present adjustments are made.

Adam Sapiro's visit to Kinston and the enthusiastic demon stration staged by organized farmers in connection with his coming appar ently had no Influence on the local to bacconists' determination to "stand pat." Eighty ; er rent of the existing market facilities hher will be operat ed under private management in 1922, according to statements made, though the Tobacco Board of Trade has made on official statement. Sapiro's assertion that Kinston and Wilson hold outs would not find business to justify their defiance of the tobacco growers' organization, has seemingly been Ignored by the warehousemen. The attitude of the latter is taken to indicate that they consider the matter setled so far as thy are concerned. Mysterious Explosion. New Bern.

Sev eral counties will benefit. Lack of sufficient local milk supplies as indi cated by weight and measurement tests among the juvenile population, together with appreciation of neg lected opportunities for building up a new industry in the region, dairy ing, will cause the Importation of droves of thoroughbred bovine.
