Washington, Dec. 27. —The subma-,
rine controversy revealed so
difference among the powers that tne
arms delegates are srlously discussing
the plan of leaving th P whole auxil
iary warship tonnage t 0 a later In
ternational conference.
So far consideration of the project
has been of an Informal nature with
the conference leaders outwardly re
flecting the hope of settlement, but In
higher American circles it was said
that concrete proposal may be made
within the next few days.
The Japanese expected to modify
objections to the American plan. The
Shantung -negotiations took a more
serious turn today when the Japanese,
after receipt of advices from Tokio,
announced they would be unable to
make further concessions to Chips
over return of the railorad.
The Japanese brought the four pow
er Pacific pact back in discussion fyy
Br*.
agree not to apply fne terms* or tm
pact to the principal islands of the
Japanese empire. Another suggestion
involving interesting political consld
eratlon came in the form of a hint that
France might be willing to status quo
limitation of submarine tonnage, pro
vided the others would Join France
1n a tr*aty designed to preserve the
peace of European water*. As tenta
lively outlined, the treaty would be
between France. Great Britain, Italy.

Dispatches to London Newspa

Overwhelmingly in Favor of

(By Associated Press.!
London, Eng., Dec. 27. —Sentiment
throughout Ireland, as reflected in dis
patches to London newspapers today,
is overwhelmingly in favor of the Irish
peace treaty. Reports from various
provinces indicate that fully ninety
per cent of the people in the twenty
six counties of Southern Ireland want
the peace pact ratified.
This confirms predictions made
when th© Dail Eireann adjourned its
debate on the treaty last Thursday un
til January 3, that the recess would
bring definite expression of the peo
ple’s will, and the rieiv is now put for
ward that when the Dali reassembles
the treaty will be approved by a ma

the country unnecessary.
WOOD DEALERS HIT SSO

When the new license taws adopt

business men in every nook and corn

cause few r escape some kind of a spe
cial tax. For instance, the person
who operates a wood yard, a large af
fair or just a small one, must pay SSO
and it is almost this bad with various
other lines of business.
Many who has been in business for
years and years will be called upon
to Pay licenses In 1922 they never
dreamed of. Of course the govern
ment has nothing, whatever to do with
state tax affairs and as soon as you
are picked about clean a representa

Mortality From Cancerous Dis

States With Massachusetts
Showing Highest Rate.
(By (Associated Press.) >
Washington, Dec. 27. —Deaths from
cancer In the death registration area
of the United Rtate)r !h 1920 totalled
approximately 73,000; according to a
report today by the census bureau,
which, on a basis of proportional pop
ulation estimated the total of deaths
for the entire country at 89,000, or an
increase of 6,000 from the estimate
of 1919.
The upward trend of tb* cancer
death rate, the report said, is accur
ately ehown j)y the increase of 83.4'
per 100,000 population in the registra
tion area in 1920 from a rate of 20.5
per 100,000 in 1919.
Using an ‘'adjusted" rate for state
and sectional comparisons of cancer
mortality, calculated on an allowance
for differences in average age aQd sex
distribution of the populations, the re
port concludes that "the northern
states have a comparatively high and
the southern states a comparatively
low cancer mortality."
Atpfng states Is the registration
area, Masacfausette showed the high*
•at "adjusted" rate of 98 per 100,000,
while the rate of 45.9 for South Caro
