Copyright, 1022, by Tub New York Herald. New York Herald Bureau. I-ondon. Oct. 14 (Saturday).

I Austen Chamberlain, Lord of the Privy goal and Government leader in the House of Commons, beforo the Midland Conservative Club in Birmingham yesterday gave the first authoritative Indication of the course of British politics. It was an appeal i from the coalition leaders to the Conservative party to stomach Lloyd George in the face of the Labor menace. As stated In these dispatches Thursday night, the general lines of the speech made by Mr. Chamberlain, who showed himself committed to a continuance of the coalition and the Premier, will probably be followed by Mr. Lloyd George in his speech at Manchester to-day.

Probably the keynote of Mr. Chamberlain's speech, according to political circles, was the clear warning of the danger in permitting a radical labor organization to assume power, in view platform providing for direct action, the taxation of capital and other drastic measures. it is Deuevea not only did tho speaker qiean to outline the policy of tho coalition a -possible appeal to tho ountry in a general election, but also 1 to warn ltla own Conservatives that they must unanimously support tho Prime Minister If tho coalition was to survive. This morning's London papers Insist that there must be voice much stronger than Mr. Chamberlain's to settle the political turmoil.

But there is a noticeable expectation that that voice may be heard to-day when the Primo Minister speaks. Liberals Oppose Coalition. The Northcliffe press and organs of 'he Liberal party such as the Wrstoiiaeter Gazette (Liberal) are not ready to accept a continuation of the coalition Government, and argue In moot emphatic 'erms that the coalition is finished despite Mr. Chamberlain's appeal that it must go on. But the Daily Telegraph Conservative) supports the coalition strongly.

The Daily Erprese (Liberal coalition) the Conservatives want to separate from the coalition and stand on their own legs, but that Mr. Chamberlain, I.ord Balfour, Lord Birkenhead and Plr Robert Home say they shall not do anything of the kind, and tell them: "We like the Prime Minister and we will see that you get no opportunity for expressing a contrary view." The newspaper adds that no party will put up with this i sort of thing from a section of Its lead- i ers, and expects a revolt, calling it the I uuiy or rne ihtny 10 uu ho. The Daily Neu-a (Liberal) says that this time the opposition to Mr. Lloyd icorge is right, just as the Lloyd Georgians were right in opposing the Government In the early days of the war. It says that Mr.

Chamberlain is bound by obligations to maintain the coalition, but his party Is not in the same position. It attacks Mr. Chamberlain because of his suggestion that labor must be kept out of power even If the majority of the electors vote otherwise, and adds: "The result of tich a policy If accepted can only be the cause of tho catastrophe which It pretends to avert" "It would be criminal to destroy the coalition," was the headline In most London papers yesterday afternoon, ascribing the phrase to Mr. Chamberlain, though a careful examination of the text of his speech shows he did not use those exact words. I ton lata Aalc Price.

Speculation as to what price the Unionist leaders exacted of Mr. Lloyd George for their support Is the chief gossip of the clubs. Most persons assert thst it must have been an agreement not to seek the Premiership for himself Immediately after a general election, permitting a Chamberlain or Honar Law the Ear) of hold the reins, while he himself assumes a lesser post In the Cabinet. The entire situation now turns on the i extent to which Ihe Unionist conference in mid-November may develop a personal antipathy toward Sir. Lloyd i George.

No doubt, the. country la tired i his personality, with most of his colleagues also tinder tho repeated attacks of tho Northcllffe and other opposition press. He is aware how many men In the street think he deliberately failed to fight the war HCare; and much of his speech at Manchester to-day will bo devoted to an answer to that charge.

"A general election is imminent." it says. "The flowing tide is with labor, and if it is tajten by the men and women workers throughout the country it will load to a great electoral triumph. Our opponents. who know that this is labor's opportunity, measure their financial resources in millions of pounds.

NAVAL TKKMSj Washington Pacts to Be Sub-' jcct to Reservations Annulling Their Effect. LONG DELAY IS EXPECTED Objection to Principle of Equality With Italy, Whose Interests Are Less. Saerial Cable tn Trrn New York- Herald. Copyright, by Tub New Yobk Hbbald.

New York Hernld Bureau. Paris, Oct. 13. The naval arma treaties drawn up in the Washington conference arc certain to be made subject to reservations virtually annujlling their effect, so far as France is concerned, and the submarine and poison gas agreements will also have reservations tacked onto them before they will bo accepted by the French Parliament. Confirming The New York Heralo's dispatches to the effect that the treaties could not possibly be discussed in the Chamber of Deputies until the end of the present session.

Deputy Grandmaison, who as secretary to the military and marine committee is reporting officially on the last two named accords, to-day declared that the work of Washington could not be allowed to stand as originally written. "In fact," he said, "even Washington admitted this by its own reservations, and every nation is finding something lacking. My committee will; start its final study next week, as soon as the official translations of the various Washington conversations have been compiled. Reservations on Search and Gas. "As I see the question there must be some reservation as to the tlon to be given the Root resolution which will define the rights of submarines to search merchant vessels In time of war, In order to assure the safety of the coasts.

On the use of gas. the whole world is agreed it should bo abolished; but even England is devoting millions to the study of now gases and measures of defense against Its use by an unscrupulous enemy France has not yot forgotten that The Hague proscribed the use of gas before the Germans used It in attacking the Canadians at Ypres. "On the Issue of limiting naval armaments Frunce cannot carry out any extensive building program for the next ten years, which In the duration of the Washington treaty. Nevertheless France cannot' accept the principle of naval equality with Italy, whose Interests are not as extensive as our own. I have already proposed In the Chamber the ubolltion of all the capital ships of all nations, as well as submarines, and the limitation of other craft to tons.

Were this accepted France conld accept an allotment of half that accorded England." Concerned at French Attitude, Special Dispatch to Tite New Tosh Hmlud New York Herald niirron. Washington. D. Oct. 13.

1 Whatever the French Government 1 thinks of the treaty for the limitation of naval armaments, the view of the ItardJng Administration Is that there Is nothing In the arms conference treaties which works to the disadvantage of the French Government and It therefore is the Hope of the United States Government that action on the treaties by France will not be much Ipnger delayed. This Government no longer considers ratification by France as a foregone conclusion zind the confidence with which the situation was regarded Is being gradually undermined. Concern i over the course followed by the French uovernment is apparent. The statement that this Government demurs to Intimations from Trance that the treaties are In any way unfavorable to her may bo regarded as a notification that the Adniinlstratlon Is not fa- vorablv Impressed by what Is becoming to look more and moro like Trench re- calcltrancc. Tbe fact that Oreat Britain, the United States and accepted the 1 r.aval ratio of automatically doubled the strength of the French navy from the point of view of relativity, 1 Administration spokesmen point out.

France still stands at her old mark i while each of the other three accepted a position further from the old position. Unlike the Treaty of Versailles, which l.vcame effective on the ratification by the German Government and three of the signatory Powers, the naval treaty Is not a treaty at alt until ratified by all tlvo Powers. Only when It becomes apparent that Franco and Italy will not ratify the treaties will the question of making them effective as between Great Britain, the United States ar.d Japan be actually broached. While It Is admitted that most of the results expected from limitation could be secured from carrying out the treaties by these three Powers It i would be very unfortunate from an In. ternatlonal standpoint If France held aloof and Italy waited Indefinitely, as she has been doing, French action.

IE Nf NEW YORK, FINAL TRANSIT PLAN PUTS LINE UP HEIGHTS AND UNDER NARROWS Broadway B. B. T. to Be Extended Up Central Park West and St. Nicholas.

END AT 168TH STREET Three Routes Thus Assured for Residents of Upper Manhattan. ROSEBAXK A TERMINUS Brooklyn Richmond Tunnel Laid Out at Narrowest Point itucr mu Tho Transit Commission announced I yesterday tho final selection of two i new subway routes: 1. An extension of tho Broadway B. It. T.

from Fifty-ninth street and Seventh avenue up Central Park West.1 Seventh avenue and St. Nicholas ave- nuo to Washington Heights. 2. A Staten Island tunnel under the Narrows from the present terminus of the Fourth avenuo subway at Fort Hamilton, Brooklyn, to Rosebank, Staten Island. These with maps and general plans, will be submitted to tho Board of Estimate for approval next Friday, i Tho Washington Heights extension was not included in the commission's program of last May.

It was originally planned to extend the B. R. T. system in Manhattan up Seventh avenue only as far as 155th street, but the commis- sion's final decision will carry it up St. Nicholas avenue for connections with the proposed Eighth avenue trunk line and the existing Interborough subway at 16Sth street and Broadway.

This will give Washington Heights three direct subway routes to central rlnwn Initn Manhattan Dllrmntn In Xtrrowii The best route to Staten Island has been problem ever since the Staten Island tunnel was proposed. The commission hoe had two routes under consideration for several from 1 Bay Ridge to St. George, striking the present center of poulation in Richmond, and the other, or southern route, crossing the Narrows at its narrowest point from Fort Hamilton to Rosebank and I entering Staten Island at about it? geo- i graphical center, but three miles south- i east of the most thickly settled section and present terminus of the Staten Islam! Ferry. The Mayor's plan called for a combination freight and passenger tunnel to St. George.

The rommiselon chose the southern route as best for all concerned, both from engineering and Regarding the Staten Island decision the commission said: "Plans for the extension of the Fourth avenue subway in Brooklyn from its present terminus at Eighty-sixth street to jiinety-nnn street, ort Hamilton, have already been authorized. "The new route, beginning at the terminus of the Fort Hamilton extension, will extend as a two track subway or tunnel southwesterly and westerly, under private property and streets, to the Shore road at Ninety-seventh street. It will then cross the Narrows with a curve toward the Island shore, turning under Pennsylvania avenue to a point in the existing right of way of the Staten Island Itapld Transit Railroad. Two llrnlncben tn Richmond. "Provision Is also made in the route description for two branches In the Borough of Richmond, both leaving Pennsylvania avenue at a point near New York avenue, and turning north and south, respectively, to points at which connection can conveniently be made at the north with the trucks In the South Reach branch of the Staten Island Rapid Transit Railroad and at the south at or near Belalr road with the tracks of the same system.

"Alternative profile maps have been rrepared covering tho method of construction on the Staten Island side. Pennsylvania avenue, as far hs Reynolds street, the line will be In subway or tunnel, whence it may be continued either In subway or open cut tunnel to Houthslde Boulevard, or as an elevated road from Fox street In order tfi effect a crossing over the existing i railroad right of way at that point. "Both branches would be practically subway to their point of connection with the existing tracks. The layout pro- posed meets the made at the hearings before the commission fhaW provision be made for easy physical nnectlons with all of the existing Staten Island railroads. "The commission has already anrottneed.

It would expect to hook up both tho 1 existing rdpld transit and trolley lines lit hWntrn Island, as well as any others that may be built as subway feeders for a single five cent faro to Manhattan It la proposed to make the new line north from Fifty-ninth street a two track subway, with the stations loeuted at points yet to be designated. At Co- I lumbus Circle, where the existing subway, the new B. Ft. T.

extension north and the Fighth avenue trunk Hue extension south will meet within area of two or three blocks, a general ex- change or transfer station Is within the commission's plan. This Improvement makes possible the I permanent elimination of ear tracks In Central Talk West. The announcement of the Washington Heights and fttaten Island routes makes three new subway extensions that the Transit Commission has sanctioned. The Brooklyn rrosstown line, connecting 1 Queens Borough and PImx.i with the Brighton line In Brooklyn, has been routed and will be considered by the Hoard of Bstlmate on Monday.

NORWAY GETS $12,000,000 Claimed Pay for Value of Cog-j tracts as Well as Ships and Materials. Thjb Hague, Oct.

13 (Associated has been awarded approximately $12,000,000 by the arbitration tribunal in the controversy between the United States and Norway over the requisitioning: by the United States during the war of Norwegian vessels. The American arbitrator, Charles Anderson, who did not attend to-day's sitting, communicated to the secretary' general of the tribunal and the agents of Norway and the United States his opinion that the terms of submissi'on had boon violated, nnd that the tribunal had exceeded its jurisdiction as outlined by the special agreement under which the shipping dispute was submitted to arbitration. Notice was served by William O. Dennis, the American Government's agent, thnt he reserved for his Government all the rights "arising out of the plain and manifest departure of the award from the terms of submission and from the 'essential error' by which it is invalidated." It was said by those conversant with the case that one of the principal, reasons for tlio protest was the alleged disregard of the pi-ovlslons of the Hague convention of 1907. requiring arbitrators to state reasons for each award made.

From the beginning of the present trial. It was said that both sides to the arbitration, as well as the tribunal Itself, agreed to be bound by the Hague convention. The present decision docs not give the reasons for the award of each claimant, but recites the reasons for the justice of the general award. The awards of each claimant are given in a flat sum including Interest at an unstated rate. Tho method whereby the sums were arrived at Is not specified.

Chief among the points of controversy was what was requisitioned and when. The United States held that the order by the United States Shipping Board of August 1917. merely shins then lomnleted and mate rials for uncompleted vessels. Norway claimed that the United States requisitioned not only ships and materials, but also contracts, and claimed compensation for their marketable value. Even conceding that contracts were requisitioned, the United States claimed that their value should be determined as of August 3, 1917.

and not after prices tvcre Juggled upward by the alleged manipulations of Christopher liannevlg, a Norwegian subject, who, the American counsel claimed, speculated on ship contracts and created dummy corporations, even after the requisition order was issued, through which to fell and re-sell contracts, advancing prices perceptibly wltn etfch transaction and indulging in other alleged questionable tradings. Pome of the Hunnevig corporations in America have become bankrupt since the war. Although Hanncvlg does not figure in the list of claimants the United States argued, and Norway admitted that he Is largely interested in virtually all the claims. Tin- award makes allowance for the "dubious nature of some of the acts" of Hannevlg, but docs not mention to what extent. The tribunal upheld Norway's contentions.

both as regards contracts requisitioned and the date, October 6, 1917. on which the requisitioning became effective, although the only requisition order cited was that of August 3. 1917.

President Harding' feels impelled to jo before the next session of Congress ind recommend an amendment to the Colstead act, hich will relieve the Insular possessions of tho United States 'rem the provisions of the law and the Daugherty opinion where foreign ships ire concerned This action would open up the of application of the strict provisions of the law to foreign ships, aarticularly in respect of ship stores, with a view to relieving the existing confusion in enforcement and the unquestioned international complications which will follow. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, however, will insist on the application sf the "rule of reason" to all enforce mc-iu measures, no nui permit seizure of foreign Bhips which might bring a grave entanglement of foreign affairs and will insist that the rights of other governments with regard to ship stores be recognized.

Secretary Mellon issued an order today postponing enforcement of tlw law in regard to the transportation of liquor until October 18. when the rule on the injunction granted by Judge Hand In New York yesterday is returnable.
