SHANTUNG CASE REVIVED
Japanese and Chinese Agree to Ke
rn m e Their Separate Conver
sations Beginning Today.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 10. (By
the Associated Press.) Except for
details of the Taclfic fortifications
agreement and a half-dozen lesser
questions of phraseology, the five
power naval limitation treaty was
put into final form today at a con
ference of the heads of the American,
British, Japanese, French and Italian
delegations.
The question of geographical scope
was understood to be the chief point
unsettled in the fortifications "status
quo" in the Tacific. Th Japanese
w-erc said to have agreed tentatively
to an American draft of the article,
hut to have deferred final action until
they communicated with Toklo.
Sull'nor Date Postponed.
As a result of this development and
other details of final drafting, some
delegates predicted that the full
naval committee would not be called
to act on the treaty before Thursday
or Friday and that no plenary session
would be held until next week. There
was a consequent postponement of
tentative sailing arrangements for
the foreign delegations with indica
tions that a majority believed the
conference would last until late In
January.
Meantime the Shantung negotia
tions, which have appeared to be near
dissolution, took u new lease on life.
Without settling for the present the
ie-nlral disagreement over the return
of the Tslngtao-Tslnanfu railroad, the
Japanese and Chinese agreed to re
sume their separate conversations to
morrow In an attempt to clear away
other points of difference.
Settlement Quietly Sought.
Ttas indicated that Secretary
Hughes and Arthur J. Balfour, whose
tender of good offices have not been
formally accepted by both sides, nev
ertheless were working quietly for a
settlement. Jn some quarters ther
were suggestions that President
Harding might be asked to mediate In
the railroad dispute, but it was said
at the White House that so far he had
received no formal Invitation to do so
In some conference circles the be
lief was expressed that if the Japa
nese and Chinese delegations resumed
their Shantung conversations with the
question of the Tsingtao-Tsinanfu
railway for the moment In the back
ground, some new formula would be
evolved whereby the railway question
would again be brought to the front
in a way that would make a settle
ment possible.
Situation Declared Tense.
Bitter factional strife In China as
the result of charges that Liang Shi
Yi, new premier at Pekin, has been
negotiating direct with the Tokio
government for a settlement of the
Shantung question in opposition to
the will of the Chinese people was
declared as being Imminent today by
Pr. M. L. Chiang, unofficial Chinese
observer, In an ad drees.
"The revelations that charge Tso
Lin, the Manchurian tuchun, now In
control in Pekin, with negotiating
direct with Japan has aroused great
tension throughout China, according
to my cables," he said. "General Wu
Pel Fu, military governor In control In
centra.! China, has sent out a circular
demanding that the new government
resign and threatening to force It out
if it does not. That means war. It
has been -said that civil war exlets
In China, but there has been no real
fighting. The present development
looks like a bitter war."

GRIFFITH IS PRESIDENT
New Cabinet Also Is Chosen at Ses
sion of Dall Split Is
Held Xot Serious.
DUBLIN. Jan. 10 (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Amnesty has been
agreed on as a result of negotiations
between the new Irish cabinet and
the British government, according to
a report current here tonight, and
Irish political prisoners. Including
those sentenced to danth, confined in
both Irish and British prisons, will be
liberated Wednesday or Thursday.
The death penalty prisoners number
about 40.
DUBLIN. Jan. 10. (By the- Acso
ciated Press.) When the Dall
Fireann adjourned tonight until Feb
ruary 14 the situation, which last
night was dangerous and obscure, had
been largely clarified. The new pres
ident, Arthur Griffith, and a new
cabinet had been elected and the way
had been smoothed to putting the
treaty into effect.
Immense relief was felt here at the
turn of events and this will un
doubtedly be experienced throughout
Ireland.
Temporary withdrawal of Kamonn
de Valera and his supporters from
the Dall, which rumor had forecast,
proved not to Involve a permanent
split. Mr. de Valera confined his
protest to the election of a new pres
ident, declaring his unwillingness to
recognize the suitability to that post
of a man who, as chairman of the
London delegation, was bound to give
effect to the treaty, which, accord
ing to De Vaiera, subverts the re
public
Private Meeting; I Held.
During the luncheon Mr. de Valera
and his associates, who left the hall,
held. a private meeting. Some of the
more ardent spirits advocated re
fusal to return, but moderate counsel
prevailed and the Dail reassembled as
a united body. The De Valera party
met again tonight to formulate plans,
but it was made evident by the numer-
out speeches from Mr. de valera what
those plans are likely to be.
He held that the Dall s decision
for the treaty binds him and his ad
herents not to obstruct the new gov
ernment In carrying out the treaty,
but he reserved the right of free
criticism should Mr. Griffith, as chair
man of the provisional government.
do anything Inconsistent with tne
rights of the people or the existence
of the republic.
Good Faith Suspected.
He also expressed the conviction
that English hostility may have to
be faced. There was still Intense
suspicion on both sides of the Dall
of the good faith of the British mln
lstry. De Valera wae clear In his
assurances of the full support of his
party in resisting an atack from an
outside enemy.
Valera Presses Griffith.
Mr. Griffith was repeatedly pressed
by Mr. de Valera to define his post
tlon which De Valera described as i
new case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
Mr. Griffith was challenged to define
his attitude toward the republic, and
It was evidently supposed that he
would have difficulty in reconciling
his position as president with the
position of chairman of the pro
visional government.
Mr. Griffith, however, frankly rec
ognized during the transition period
the existence of the republic, which
he undertook to maintain, but he said
when the free state was formed there
must be a general election so the
people could choose between the free
state and the republic.
Mr. de Valera's attitude toward Mr.
Griffith was considerate and respect
ful, and Mr. Griffith expressed his
cordial appreciation.
After his election President Griffith
made this announcement:
'The Dail will continue to exist un
til the Irish free state is set up."
President Griffith nominated, and
the Dall ratified, viva voce, the fol
lowing cabinet members:
Minister of finance, Michael Collins.
Foreign affairs, George Cavan
Duffy.

the price situation In his annual re
port. He held out little hope for a
price decline in the tailor-made prod
uct, counseling, rather, discrimina
tion in price reduction, and warning
of a possible Increase in woolen ma
terials from the manufacturers when
the new tariff becomes effective.
Vocational training of tailors and
other workmen in the industry Is
something which warrants steps of
the association to provide a training
school somewhere on the coast. Pres
ident Growall declared. The training
of an abundant supply of tailors is
necessary for the progress of the
trade, he stated.
Labor conditions ulong the coast
are satisfactory and the open shcTp
plan has been firmly established, ac
cording to the report. He counseled,
however, extreme moderation in ac
tion affecting wages cr working con
ditions, and advised economies in
other lines.
Advertising is something which the
merchant tailors must begin to re
gard In Its true value. President
Growall indicated. His advice on ad
vertising and warning to the pro
fession follows:
"Various exchanges have adopted
a method of running once a week or
once evVry two weeks a group ad1
vertisement, and from what we can
learn they have met with good suc
cess. Advertising- la. 1'rsaed.
'One word in regard to advertis
ing. I think we all lose sight of the
good it can do us: also of the fact
that If we do not do something
soon, the ready-to-wear business will
crowd us out, particularly when many
of our merchants have adopted the
plan of selling ready-to-wear over
coats and sports suits. You are
spoiling your business and particu
larly the nicest part of it.
'What has become of the overcoat
business, and what will be the next
to follow? Absorbed by the ready-to-wear
dealer, and the next to fol
low will be yourself, drifting Into
this line, which is most demoralizing
to the tailoring Industry."
Invitation to organize an exchange
of the association at Vancouver, B. C,
was brought by Thomas Morgan of
that city, who Inserted an additional

latest and topnotch style effects that
will be In vogue this season In men's

1923 STYLES ARE OUTLINED
Sam O. Levy Says Exhibits Show
Latest in Men's Wear.
The style show held In the. tea
rooms at the Multnomah hotel in con
nection with the third annual con
vention of tne Pacific Coast Merchant
Tailors' association, which is open for
public inspection tonight, is bringing
Portland people an early glimpse of
1922 men's styles that is correct to
the last button and stitch, according
to Sam G. Levy of Los Angeles, chair
man of the executive committee of
the association.
The clothes displayed are the pro
ducts of men as up to the minute In
American styles as any group in the
country, and are the correct thing so
far as fashion's edict goes for 1922,
both in fabrics and in cut, he de
clared. Mr. Levy speaks with the au
thority of head designer for Charles
Levy & Son of Los Angeles, and as the
recognized leading -style designer
among moving picture stars of the
country.
"The coming season will show a
marked trend away from the pinched
type, small shoulder designs in men's
coats toward easier lines and natural
shoulders," said Mr. Levy. "Trousers
also will break away from the tight
effect to wider designs) with straight
lines.
"The long vent coat is out of date
entirely so far as the correct styles
go. The vent should not be more than
eight or nine Inches for the average
sack coat.- Coats for the coming sea
son are slightly longer than hereto
fore. On the basis of a 5-foot 8-lnch
man the minimum length is 30H
inches for the sack coat.
"The soft coat without hair cloth
or stiffening of any kind is one of the
most important things In fine tailor
ing today. It will show an ease and
Trace typical of the best in work
manship. "Tweeds will predominate In sport
suits and will be more popular than
heretofore. They will be In three or
four-button styles with either patch
or plain pockets. Sport coats will be
shown in a great many different
styles. The garment, however, with
the belt all around will he shown very
little by the fine tailor.
"The keynote in styles for the well
dressed man In 1922 is conservative
clothes that will show careful con
sideration for- the wearer, coupled
with a style destined to become the
most popular among recent designs
for men.
"Papels will be a feature, and the
plain notch lapel will be found to
have replaced the peak lapel almost
entirely."
The style show exhibits have In
corporated the latest trends in busi
ness, evening and sport wear.

WATS M FRANCE
Briand Fails to Get Reply
From His. Cabinet.
SUCCESS IS FORESEEN
Frenchman Says Negotiations Are
Progressing, but Nothing of
Treaty Is Decided. -
CANNES, Jan. 10. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) As the reparations
settlement was held up until tomor
row because of the failure of Premier
Briand to receive a reply from his ca
binet at Paris to his report on what
has been done here, the Franco-British
pact held the attention of tbe
members of t the supreme council
today.
After two talks with Premier Lloyd
George, M. Briand declared that the
regotiations were a good way to
wards success, but that nothing had
been decided In the form of a treaty,
which was taken to mean that the
draft before the British cabinet is
merely a British suggestion which
will be submitted to the French
premier after it Is passed on at Lon
don. In his view the pact is simply a
prolongation of the guarantee treaties
signed at Versailles but which were
not ratified.
All Problems to Come Up
It is the Intention of Premier Bri
and and Lloyd George to go over every
question Involving differences of pol
icy, but M. Briand said these were not
many. As for the Turkish question,
it was not one concerning the Angora
treaty, but concerned the question of
peace in the near east. The subma
rine question, he thought, would dis
appear when France and Great Brit
ain became allies.
The German delegation will arrive
tomorrow and will be heard, along
with the reparations commission,
when final decision Is reached on the
proposed new reparations terms.
The desire of the Italians to come
Into the Franco-British pact has de
layed announcement of the details of
the negotiations that led up to its
drafting. Mr. Lloyd George prepared
a statement outlining the conversa
tions in London.
Statement Is elaborated.
At the request of M. Briand this
statement was somewhat elaborated
on to give more fully the views ex
pressed by the British premier. It
probably will be published tomorrow.
while a memorandum drafted by M.
Briand, giving the French side, also
will be given out.
When the two premiers saw the
Italian premier. Slgnor Bonomi, to
day there was a disposition to wel
come Italian adhesion to the agree
ment, which was described as des
tined purely to insure peace.
It was understood, however, the
chances are that Italy's entry into the
alliance must be the subject of sepa
rate negotiations, as the' French and
British want to complete their agree
ment here and there is scarcely time
to go over the subject again with
Italy.
Pact Declared Defensive.
From such Indiscretions as have
been committed thus far regarding
the pact. It may be said that it is
purely a defensive one, Great Britain
agreeing to go to the aid of France
if she Is the victim of an unprovoked
attack. The general understanding.
It is understood, contains a provision
that the international situation must
remain as before the war, except as
provided by the treaty of Versailles,
w" :ch is interpreted as meaning that
France must give up all idea of gain
ing any greater influence at Tan
giers. It is persistently reported that the
agreement provides that the Angora
treaty between France and the Turk
ish nationalists must be revised in a
manner more favorable to British and
Italian interests.
U. S. ACTION NOT DECIDED
Authoritative Statement Issued
After Cabinet Meeting.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 10. (By
the Associated Press.) An authorita
tive statement was made following
today's cabinet meeting, that no de
cision had been reached by President
Harding and his advisers regarding
tha invitation extended to the United
States by the allied supreme council
to participate along with Russia and
Germany In the European economic
conference to be held at Genoa In
March.
Some of President Harding's ad
visers are said to hold that the United
States should not enter into the dis
cussions at Genoa until the arms con-fer-nce
closes. All treaties resulting
from the arms conference they be
lieve should be ratified by the sen
ate and the policy of the United
States in international matters thus
more clearly defined before advances
should be taken toward other agree
ments. In the same circles it was suggest
ed that the United States before par
ticipating should have some under
standing of the scope of the discus
sions. Another suggestion was that
there should be an understanding that
some action would be taken looking
to the reduction of land armament ex

Default Debts Are Drawback.
As regards the money Europe owes
us, there is a point in the American
position which Is commonly over
looked y Europe. When a debtor Is
in default, with his interest overdue,
the next step does not rest with the
creditor, but with the debtor.
The Kuropean nations seem to ex
pect us to take the Initiative before
they make any suggestions or pro
posals. In the absence of any formal
declaration to us about it. It Is rather
disturbing to find France carrying
the American ' debt on her books
under the classification "political
debt," as distinguished from her other
obligations, which she describes as
"actual debts."

vitation to the Genoa conference has.
of course, a democratic political an
gle. Just about the time the Genoa
conference Is In session, our -senate
will be in the midst of a debate over
ratifying the results of the Washing
ton conference.
Political Anale in Senate.
It readily can be seen that our par
ticlpation in the Genoa conference at
that moment might be a complicat
ing factor.
Against'all this there Is the argu
ment based on large-handed gener
osity that we ought to step in whole
heartedly and help Europe out of Its
troubles. But for the present, the
prevailing disposition Is not to
change our policy of limiting our
part in these European conferences to
that of an observer.
But whether we go In or stay out,
the Genoa conference Is the most Im
portant world event visible In the
near future. All that Is said here as
an expression of the American posi
tion has been said repeatedly in this
correspondence ever since Europe
tried to inject 'economic matters
into the Washington conference.
This same point of view has been
made clear to the Europeans, official
and unofficial, who have attended the
conference. The likelihood Is that
the various governments of Europe
