EVOLUTION IS ANALYZED After-War Moitment to Avoid Co- lossal I-ijx-nso of Building Sea Craft Effective. BT MARK SULLIVAN. (Copyright br th N.w Tork Kr-nint Put. Inc. Pubh.h.fl by Arrangement.) WASHINGTON'. D. C Feb. 11 (Special.) The Washington confer ence -was a milestone la evolution, and Its ending affords a convenient topping place to pause a moment and take atock of the place in the world which the United States now has. This evolution in the relation of the nations of the world to each other has been going on very rapidly alnce August 1. 1914. What might have consumed generations of more orderly history has been compressed into a few years. At ail times there Is a position in the world which is called tne domi nant power. In a more restricted senoe. it is frequently spoken of as "mistress of the seas." a phrase which is reasonably accurate, inas much as world dominance has prac tically always gone hand-ln-hand with naval and commercial domlna nance on the sea. Germany's phrase for this position was "the place In the sun." It was that place that Germany sought to take from Great Britain; and it Is Germany's lack of success and other Incidents attending her effort that led to all the disloca tion out of which we are just emerg ing. ThVee Eleiaeata Fraad. This position of dominance is com posed of three elements of arme.l force and economic supremacy, What ever nation at any time ha these three elements combined, has domi nance. The three elements are, first, supremacy In mercantile shipping; second, supremacy n finance. In the sense of being the greatest reservoir ef wealth, and through that being the greatest lending nation in the world; and, finally, supremacy in armed strength on the sea. What ever nation combines these three has the position that Germany coveted. For close to two centuries it was Great Fritain that held the position. Germany wanted It and went after It. She did not get It, but. as often hap pens. It went, or at least started to go. to a nation which was In the beginning a disinterested observer, namely, ourselves. America did not covet this position nor envy It to Great Britain. It was true there were some who felt that in the course of time, due to natural forces and through the ordinary processes of peace, it would leave Great Britain and come to us. The late Ambassador Page was one who saw this trend, and he speaks of it In his letters, which are Just now being published. Mr. rase, however, had In mind an orderly process of evolution. These orderly processes were suspended and the trend was enormously accelerated by the war. i-ewdias; Fewer Leave Brllaim. Of the three elements of dominance, the first to leave Great Britain was that of the greatest lending nation in the world. Before the war was more than a few months old Great Britain's necessities had caused her to call la her money from all ojer the world. Before the war was a year old she had begun to borrow enormous sums, chiefly from us. Very shortly we ceased to be what we had always been a borrowing nation. Before the war we owed some li.OOe. 000.009 or !. 000.000.000 abroad and used to pay out about fOO.000.000 a year In in-1 ter-t. By the end of the war we had completely -and strikingly reversed I1.it position. Instead of our owing m'oney to Kurope. Europe owed us upward of $10,000,000,000, and we were incomparably the greatest lending nation in the world. As respects the second element, namely, supremacy in mercantile shipping. Great Britain continued to hold her dominance; in fact, she holds it yet. At the beginning of the war we were a negligible factor in the world's mercantile shipping. We had leas than 10 per cent of It. and Great Britain had more than half of It. But alto a true instinct for the essence of the thing she was after. Germany began to sink Great Britain's mer cantile fleet. During the war the German submarines destroyed close to half of Great Britain's shipping. Great Britain could not replace this shipping as fast as the Germans de stroyed It. She could not spare her manpower for building mercantile hips. Such manpower as she could spare for shipbuilding at all went into the yards that were building warships. AarrVa Cat era Shlpballalag. In this plight Great Britain be sought us to become a great mercan tile shipbuilding nation. At her re quest, and in order to heTo her win tCoac.S4ial ea 1 . Coiuuia a.) Tribute Paid Henry Ford as Friend of Farmers Arms Conference "Better Than Nothing." WEST ORANGE. If. J.. Feb. 11. Thomas A. Edison. Inventor and elec trical wizard, has just 15 years more of service for humanity in him. This was perhaps the most impor tant statement he made in his annual Interview with. newspaper men today on his 7Sth birthday. Smilingly facing a little army ot reporters and photographers, who waylaid him oa his way to his labora tory, he answered questions on every subject the reporters could think of. "I hope you will have several more birthdays," said one reporter. "I shall have 15 more." he said, but he did not elaborate on the process by which he reached this conclusion. Hesitating before he answered as to when be intended to retire, he replied "Never. Asked on what he was working, Mr. Edison said he bad sev eral "hot irons In the fire." but that he wasn't ready to talk about them. The inventor placed Theodore Roose velt at the head of a list of great jnenjie had met. although he said he had met the former president but once. "I liked Teddy." he said, warm ly. He picked Sarah Bernhardt as the "greatest woman," declaring she was still "full of pepper." He thought his friend Henry Ford would make a poor president, as that was "not in his line," but declared he would vote twice for Ford If there were an election for the position of "director of manufactures." He said he would give Ford his full support If the automobile man ob tained Muscle Shoals. I do not think he should go Into It." he added. "He is too ambitious and wants to help the farmer." He declared he thought Ford would not fall In his undertaking. The arms conference Impressed Mr. Edison as "good better than nothing at all," but he declared in favor of continuing naval preparations "ex perimentally." "We should experiment with the most deadly gases and the biggest guns." he said. "Not that we will ever make use of them, but so that we may be prepared in case some other nation, through rascality, should Attack us. I want all nations to be prepared so that it will be so terrible that the game is np." The radio phone, he said, was the greatest electrical development of the past year, with the amplifier as a close second. HILL HELD GOOD MANAGER Handling of Biz St. Paul Estate Declared Successful. ST. PACU Feb. 11 Louis W. Hill s successful handling of his father's f51.000.000 estate was urged as high qualification for his administration of hla mother's $11,000,000 estate in probate court here today. Seven heirs are opposing the selec tion ot L. W. Hill as administrator. They ask that the court name the Northwestern Trust company, which Is owned by the Hill heirs. Counsel for L. W. Hill emphasized that the latter's administration of his father's estate never was chal lenged. It was contended by counsel op posing L. W. Hill that in the deed transferring North Oaks farm as a gift from Mrs. James J. Hill to Louis there is no provision giving other Hill children legal access to the pri vate cemetery within the farm, where the parents are buried.

REST BACK ALL PLANS Policy of leaders Is Shown in In terviews Idahoan Ex plains Decision. THE OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington. D. C, Feb, 11. All of the senators from Oregon, Washing ton and Idaho will support the naval treaty and all but Senator Borah of Idaho will vote down the line for the rest of the treaties, according to in terviews given out today. Senator Borah appeared to be undecided about whether he would back any oT the treaties other than the naval pact. "I am In favor of the naval treaty." Senator Borah said. "As to the others. I have pot had time to study them In the light of the presi dent's address." "I am for the ratification of these treaties and I believe it would be a misfortune should they be rejected by the senate. Such action might lead to serious consequences," said Sen ator Polndexter of Washington. General Effect Discussed. "It is not to be expected that any adjuatment of great policies of state such as are involved in these treaties should be entirely satisfactory in every detail to' many people, but the general effect and policy involved should be the determining factor. I believe this to be in the case of these agreements, wise, and beneficial. I am sorry they do not leave us with im pregnable fortifications at Cavite and at Guam, not, of course, to be used for offensive war or for aggression, but as guarantees of peace and as security of defense. "However, it has been Impossible to obtain the necessary support to ac complish this. For years I have been urging it both in the senate and with the executive branch of the govern ment.

American motion picture producers announced here today that, if the "man without a country" will consent to play the international villain they will make him the highest salaried person In the movies. - The announcement was prompted, it was said, by recent threats of for. sign governments to "ban the films of producers who use one of their nationals as the villain In a picture.' It has come to a point where Uncle Sam Is .the universal "goat," they said, as the United States is almost the only nation to refrain from of ficial action against the casting of one of its citizens in an unpopular role in the cinema. The consul-general of China re cently asked for seats at a private showing before censors from several states of a"super picture," now showing in Broadway. He explained that his government probably would wish to protest the use of Chinese characters as villains of the play. In another picture recently filmed. the unpopular roles were assigned to natives of Abyssinia. The Abyssinian government promptly lodged a pro test, threatening to bar all such pic tures from that country, and from other countries where it had influ ence. Mexico was the latest to put Its foot on the display of "propaganda," pictures, when G. S. Senguil, consul- general of the Obregon government. informed American producers that "the government will find it neces sary to stop the importation to Mex ico of all films produced by com panies which may continue to manu facture films derogatory to Mex ico, even though the latter may be destined to other countries." It was Intimated that ill-feeling toward Mexico had been Inflamed in Central and South American coun tries by pictures in which the Mex ican was portrayed as villain. "The trouble rests largely in the fact that pictures do not reach those countries until several years after they are made," one producer ex plained. "When the United States and Mexico were at odds, in the years following 1916, the Mexican was a favorite character for the villain role. Now. although the two coun tries are friendly again, these ancient pictures are being dumped on the Central and South American market and Mexteo objects. 'A similar situation exists In China; in fact, in all foreign countries which depend upon the United States for their movies." John Mitchell, Crawling on Hands and Knees, Bursts Into Tears When Party Arrives. LONE PINE, Cal., Feb. 11.

BERLIN, Feb. 11. (By the Associ ated Press.l Chancellor Wirth has met one of the most critical parlia mentary situations of his career by forcing a "show-down" with, the reichstag in connection with the im pending vote on four resolutions cen suring the cabinet for its policy dur ing the railroad strike. The coalition parties failed to pro tect the chancellor by sending a sup- porting resolution to the president's desk, leaving him at the mercy of tho four opposition motions proposed by the nationalists, the German peo ples' party, the independent socialists and the communists. Although each resolution was cer tain to be defeated by the votes of the present government bloc, it was realized that collectively their effort would have spelled parliamentary dis aster for Dr. Wirth. as the moral stigma carried by them would not have been neutralized by the indi rect -majority support given to the chancellor by the clericals, the major ity socialists and the democrats, who could muster sufficient votes to de feat the opposition'a attack on the cabinet. "Visible impatience with this pas sive attitude by his principal support brought Chancellor Wirth to his feet just before the hostile resolutions were put to a vote today. His voice quivering with emotion, the chancel lor in an impassioned plea demanded that the reichstag give him a tangible and unequivocal expression of its confidence- without which he and his cabinet colleagues could no longer conduct the affairs of the govern ment. . ' A negative result of the votes on the four opposition resolutions, he declared, would suffice to make the cabinet position untenable. : This unexpected attitude dumb founded both the opposition and the government parties and the latter scurried about in a hasty effort to draft a resolution of direct approval. The house, however, finally voted to defer balloting until Wednesday. Dr. Wirth, it is asserted. Ban safely count on a decisive vote of approval on his railway strike policy. - The session supplied a second sen sation when the independent socialist leader, Herr 'Dittmann, demanded an investigation of Hugo Stinnes be cause of the latter's alleged attempt to barter the German railway system to an ..English banking syndicate in return for a gold loan. Stinnes' friends came to his assistance and action was prepared. MURDERER IS CONVICTED Jury Recommends Life Term for James Slagle, Wife-Slayer. CHEHALIS, Wash., Feb. 11. (Spe cial.)

CHURCH IS DIVIDED Some Episcopals Declare That Pas tor of St. Stephens Is Popu lar With Congregation. The formal demand of Bishop Wal ter Taylor Sumner of the Episcopal diocese of Oregon that the Very Rev. R. T. T. Hicks resign from his posi tion as dean of. the diocese and of St. Stephen's pro-cathedral, effective March 1, was received by the dean yesterday by mail and the dean re iterated his previous announcement that he would not comply with the demand. Dean Hicks said that ha had not yet made a formal reply, but that he would do so within the next few days and then would await the bishop's next move. Bishop Sumner expressed the belief yesterday that it was now for the dean either to resign or to be re moved from his position. He declined to say whether he contemplated tak ing- action in a church tribunal or in the civil courts to oust the dean in case the latter continued to defy the bishop's request. Plans Not Announced, "Those things will be decided when the time comes," said the bishop. 'Until other action is necessary I do not care to announce any pro gramme of action." On the request of members of the pro-cathedral parish, it was an nounced that a special parish meet ing had been called, in accordance with Jihe church canons, to be held Tuesday night, February 21, at 8 o'clock in the parish house to consider the action of the bishop. Bishop Sumner reiterated his posi tion that the pro-cathedral is the bishop's chapel and that consequent ly he has the right to remove Dean Hicks at his pleasure. He contend ed that the pro-cathedral had been or ganized as a bishop's chapel and had never been incorporated as a parish and that consequently he had the supreme power. Limitations Declared Known. "This is no new subject and the matter has been up on previous oc casions," he said. "I myself was a dean in Chicago for nine years pre vious to coming here and I conse quently know what the limitations of a dean are." On the other hand, Dean Hicks ' referred to an article in the consti tution of the diocese which provides for the establishment of a pro cathedral upon the designation of the bishop until such a time as a cathe (Concluded on Page 4, Column 4.)
