LONDON, Nov. 16. One disarmament project at a time" naval arms reduction first was the slogan nailed squarely to the mast head of the forthcoming naval conference In London this January by Ambassador Charles G. Dawes in his speech tonight before the Institute ofjour-nallsts here. The Ambassador said: The specific object live of these present negotations is the abolition of the general competitive building in fighting ships, and their reduction In number so far as is consistent with the national security and domestic necessities of the naval powers concerned.

DAUB IN' HURRY The speech was the climaxing event of Gen. Dawes first day bat in England following his flying visit to AV'ashmgton and Chicago. The Few important cabinet changes are to fee expected when Mayor Charles H. Kline begins his second term in January, according to reports Saturday. The one post in which change is rumored is the directorsnip of the Department of Public Safety.

Close associates of the Maj or said that these rumors can be discounted, al though they admitted that KUne has not yet made up his list ot ap. pointed The most persistent rumor Is that Director of Public Safety James Clark will be named city treasurer and will be succeeded as public safety director by Supt. of Police Peter P. Walsh. It seems certain that, to date at least, surh a move has not passed the rumor stage.

He reached Southampton aboard the Homeric, took the 6 oclock boat train and was at Waterloo Station by 8 oclock. Descending the platform with Mrs. Dawes he was greeted by cries of "welcome back! The Ambassador replied, am glad to be back." With his party he drove to the embassy and by 9 oclock was the guest of the Institute at their dinner at Grosevenor House. EMPHASIZES 5 POINTS In his speech the Ambassador emphasized five important points: The understanding reached among the powers in conversations between now and January are only preliminary to the final agreements which will be worked out at the January conference. 2.

The Januaiy agreements will be reached only after the concurrence of political representatives with the naval experts of each country represented. 8 The final accords must be reached only upon the basis of the approval of public opinion in the respective countries. 4 A substantial agreement respecting parity of armaments has, however, already been reached between the United States and England. 6 The January conference, the success of which is already regarded as certain, will be considered a stepping atone to "further proceduce and further pacts guarding the still better continuance of world peace. Bawes said in bis speech: "It is under the aegis of the Kellogg pact that the coming naval conference ts called, and it is in its spirit that the great naval powers of the world wifi meet.

signed from the Civil Service Commission to direct the Mayors campaign for re-election. There is no doubt that the ap. pointment of Richard W. Thompson as City Treasurer to succeed the late Wallace Borland was a. tern porary one.

This place is the best at the disposal of the Mayor, unless he should remove one of the members of his present cabinet. He also has two vacancies on the Civil Ser. vice Commisison to fill and one as. sistants post In the City Solicitors office. According to present plans, he will announce these appointments when he names or re-names his cabinet.

WINTERS POST PUZZLES Speculation in political circles centers chiefly around the question as to who will get the place In City Council to succeed Daniel Winteri when be resigns to become Citj Controller. The concensus of opin-ton seems to be that the place will go to the South Side, with George Karabacb and B. L. Succop, (the I latter now director of supplies) frequently mentioned. The name of Lieutenant of Detectives Thomas D.

Malone also has been advanced. Malone made an unsuccessful bid for a Republican councilmanir nomination. He is from the Twentieth Ward. W. Y.

English is from the same ward, which Is the chief argument used against the Malone campaign for the vacancy. In spite of denials by Commissioner Joseph G. Armstrong and George J. Schad, chairman of the Board for the Assessment of Revision of Taxes, there seems noj doubt that politics was responsible in part at least for the laying off of 40 employes of the board.
