Already steps have been taken to start the rehabilitation of Europe. The economic committee of the supreme council has decided upon an interna tional corporation with a capital of ?2,00),00O (about $8,00),O0) with its seat in London and with a board of directors nominated by affiliated com panies in each interested country. These countries, including the United States, will organize corporations for promotion only, with a combined capi tal equivalent to ?20,000,(K) (about $8d.000.00). These corporations will serve ns mediumts for credit trans actions and to facilitate the activities of private enterprises in all countries where the business field now is ob structed by hack of credits and ils organized finances. This plan pre. supposes the organization of affiliated comipanies in Germany as well as In the United States. FINAL formulation of the naval limnitation agreement in the Wash ington conference was delayed by sev. eral inatters. One was a difference of opinion as to the methods of scrap. ping the 08 capital ships that are tc be given up by the United States ireat Britain and Japan. Six op. - tional methods are prescribed, and Mr. Balfour objected to the proposi Lion of Mr. Hughes that the bulk of the retired ships be destroyed ab. solutely. The British were not will Iig to say' yet ,what tonnage of tht ellIlninated vessels they would converl *to peace titue uses5. No dloubt wat ,felt that this dIspute could he ad just ed amicably. Another cause of do Ilay was Baron Kate's desIre to get further instructions from Tokyo con eerning the agreement to mnaintain th( -status quo of Pacltic ocean naval bases and fortifications.

Conasequaently Ithe delegates of all natihms in the cenn ference began drawing uip a nine. power treaty dealing with far eiastern affairs and especially with Chinese questions. It is believed this will do lay the adjournment of the conaferetnc, until tile end of the monath.

Already the British have removed the Barbed wire and sandbags with which Dublin Castle Was protected and they are transferring the records to London. Amnesty was agreed upon by the two governments and all Irish prisoners, Including those condemned to death, have been set free. In a word, the English are evacuating Ire Innd as rapidly as they can, and they seem mighty glad to get out. T HUMAN II. Newberry is rightfully 'nited States :senator from Mich Igan, but he spent too muth money in winning the place. Such is the de (isiona of the senate, reached by i vote of 4(1 to 41. The Democrats were solid ly against Newberry and nine Repub leans votesl with them to oust him. But the day was saved for him by the addition of it cluI.Se to the resolution senting him, criticising the acknowl edged expendit ure of $196,000 in his behalf and coindemniing the lavish use of money in political eanpaligns. This brought into line a number of Repub iits who had been wavering. Sea ator La Follette of W isconsini1 inti mated that he would reopen .the ease at some Tutu e date.
