Office Postmaster General,
Washington, D. Nov. 21.
To all Postmasters:
It is mv wi h that the machinery
of the Postal Service be placed at tindisposal
of those searching for loved
ones who have dropped from sight.
Every year, thousands in this country,
are reported missing, children, young
men, young women, husbands, and
wives, some never to be heard of
again by their distressed families and
friends. The P. O. department with
its organized facilities reaching into
every corner of the land may he o**
p'-aet'cal service to the distressed.
Therefore, they are willingly offered
for this purpose. There is no intention
of interference with private af
fairs or to act as a collection agency.
Postmasters will scrutinize and investigate
carefn'ly each case reporfed
to them, and when convinced of its
geunineness will make such inquiries
of other postmasters as the circumstances
may warrant end advise the
interested relative or friends.

SAYS GERMANY IS
NOT INTERESTED
Washington, Nov. 28.?M. Viviani,
head of the French delegation to the
. Washington conference, in discussing
the possibility that Germany might
later be a narticipant, said tonight
that "he could not see what questions
on our agenda concerns that country.
I have beard nothing more than rumors
about this," he said, "and the
subject has not been brought to my
attention in any way officially. I do
not see what question on our agenda
concern Germany. She has no specific
interests. Her naval and her land
armaments are fixed by the treaty
of Vers-iillcs. This conference would
not consider the revision of thai
treaty. The question of reparations,
if a conference of world power
diovdd dosir^ to take it up. would
mean, according to my personal view
| that they would be prepared to take
upon themselves the responsibility of
the reparations which Germany has
promised to pay over her signature

with Germany on this subject recentI

agreement renched for payments in
goods has been referred to the allied
reparations commission for approval.
That is the 'present situation of th'e
reparation^ questions."
Speaking of his having engaged
passage to leave for home December
14 M. Viviani remarked: "I would like
very much (o leave on that date because
I have urgent engagements in
Paris. I am neither a minister, an am
bnssador nor a functionary of state
but I am at the disposal of my gov
ernment if it should seem necessary
for me to remain longer than the
middle of December. I see no reason

why the conference should not have
completed its work. Of course there
might remain over details for experts
to arrange. These would not require
I my presence." v.

SAYS DEAD MAN
STOLE THOUSANDS
Orlando, Fin., Nov. 28.?The jury
hearing the case of Lena M. T. Clark
and Baxter II. Patterson, charged
with the murder of Fred A. Miltimore,
local restauranteur, today heard the
woman's story recited under the spell
of a crystal.
Unique in t)ie annals of jurisprudence
the woman, an announced devotee
of the ouija, had the crystal
steadily before her in order that she
ceuld concentrate, as it was explained
She held Miltimore responsible for
the theft of $38,000 from the West
Palm Beach postoffice in 1918 which
reflected en her brother Paul. Her
attempt to cover this shortage culmi
nated in her taking $32,000 from a
-egisterod package later in July of
this year, the defendant said.
When postal inspectors waxed warm
:n their investigation she came to
Orlando, accompanied by Patterson, ir
search of Miltimore. As to the kill:ng
of the man she suffered a lapse
of memory. Her testimony exonerated
Patterson as to having any part in
the actual slaying.
Miss Clarke, who occupied the stand
for more than two hours, told the
same story she had given in a signed
statement shortly after Miltimore's
body was found in her room at a loca1
htel. She mentioned Joseph B. Elwell,
murdered New York sportsman
>s having loaned her $38,000 in 1918
occause oi nis friendship for her
brother. To repay him she was forced
'o start on a career of doctoring the
accounts. ller mention of Elwell'r
name shortly after her arrest caused
a flurry in police circles because of
the fact that Elwell's assassins havr
never been arrested. It was quickly
established, however, that the womar
had not been north of Atlanta since a
young girl.
Her testimony in regard to the
^heft of $38,000 from the postofficr
disagrees with that of Postal Inspec
tor W. B. Brandon, who told the jury
Saturday of his investigation Into the
nostofftce irregularities. These irregntfarities
began before she assumed
charge as postmistress, he testified
lu&ivc of the $32,000, totalled approximately
$5,000.
As Miss Clarke neared the end of
bor recital of events during her in
'crview with Miltimore in her room
she took a flight into matters of spiri'ualism.
She remembered giving th<
v?an a drug she testified but from
then on her mind was a blank unti'
nhe met Patterson in the hotel corri
lor and together they went to the
tTice of Chief of Police Vestel.
Slate's witnesses have testified tha<
no traces of a drug were found whe?
an cxaminatin of Miltimore's viscera
was made.#
Miss Clarke ended her testimony
with the assertion that her "Aunt Sa
rah" taught her to read and write
before she was born.

KATO PRESENTS
TOKYO DEMANDS
Washington, Nov. 28 (My the Associated
Press).?To safeMkord properly
the interests of the Akpanese empire,
the ratio of 70 pef jcent in tonnage
of capital ships is Mjeesary, Vice
Admiral Kanji Kato, pr?ldent of the
Japanese naval college ami chief naval
ad .iser to th6 Japanese'delegation to
the Washington conJercnee, said to the
Asociated Pres tonight In an interview.
M'
Vice Admiral Kato, wm is regarded
as the leading JapaneseTMthority on
naval strategy, declared the main
issue for the conference Jn limitation
of armament was the ^reduction of
armament burdens. *
"Japan accepts this tissue wholeheartedly,''
he contTnt^id, "and is
quite prepared to scrap liapital ships
under construction and ol< battleships
The naval ratio is of gj ave concern
to the security of the na( ons. I hope
the United States wil a icept the 70
per cent for Japan, ' ;hich is the
minimum of strength req itred for her
security.*' o '
The vice admiral remai ted that the
ffyanmnnf 1. 4 '
ae>vvii)i;iiv lu mini, Bllliuir'i'l, II1USC DC
accomplished bu a thorn *h understanding
cf all those participating.
"The main issue in the {imitation of
armament, as I have statid, I believe,
is to relieve the burden# of the nations.
Japan has show#; her hearty
uccord to the idea and his agreed tol
the wholesale scrapping;, of capital
ships under construction^* as well as
old ships. This pract^ally means
that the great purpose^of the conference
has been attain^,: because it
indicates that in the futtfro there will
come about huge reductions in naval
expenditure. There is ^bother point
to which I would like to citl your attention.
When you thinV about the
sacrifice made by the ngtlons represented
at this conference it seems
clear that the degree of- sacrifice is
very great for Japan. J mean that
it will be felt more keenly-'by us than
by the United Statesj. because our industrial
and shipbuilding power can
not be compared td that of America."
In conclusion Vice Admiral Kato
?Ortnnml Hufcrthc, ->
to replace her warships was infinitely
'es than that of the United States..
Tapan, he said, would be quite unable
with her present shipbuilding and industrial
strength and taking into account
the paucity of her raw material
more especially steel, to engage sue
ttaiuuy in uuinpeuiion as 10 one replacements
of ships. x
"For instance," he said, "do you
realize that the yearly output of steel
in Japan is only 800.000 tons, whereas
in the United States the yearly output
is almost 33,000,000 tons? Under these
circumstances it is quite impossible
for Japan to think of entering into a
race with any strong industrial power!
in case any difficulty should unhappiyl
arise in the future. It would almost
be better to abolish al capital ships
entirely. It would certainly be fairer
to Japan. We yare putting forth a
request that seems to me eminently
fair and reasonable, based as it is
upon all of the questions which enter
into the maintenance of a n&vy."
