The county judges must be lawyers, at least thirty years old, with four years active experience at the bar, if a proposal adopted by committee is accepted by the Convention. Hereto fore, only a small per cent of the county judges of the state are prac- ticing lawyers. Some of the commit tees seriously discussed the advisabil- ity of abolishing the county judges al- together. or divesting them of juris- diction in probate cases, the same to be transferred to chancery. The age of the Prosecuting Attorney has been advanced to 28 years.

Sea Question Not Yet
Agreed Upon Between
President and English
Leaders.
CANNOT SEE WHY
U. S. SHOULD BUILD
English Claim Navy Merely
For Defense, Not World
Threat.
LOWELL MELLErT

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent. }
LONDON, Dec. 2s.-Britain and
the United States have not ye,
reached a common basis of under
standing relative to the freedom of
the seas. With an agreement achiev>
ed on every essential of the league
of nations, leaders of the two great
English-speaking democracies are
striving for a solution of the second
of the most important factors in the
peace negotiations.
Britain as well as America is
frankly considering the material fac
tors In the case. They are absolutely
convinced no international authority
on the sea will be able to replace the
British navy in safeguarding British
interests. The government garees to
drastic retrenchments in the building
program. provided other powers do
interests. The government agrees to
start retrenchment by sinking the
German fleet They Insist the Brit
ish navy is only u defensive weapon
and cannot be used aggressively,
therefore is not threat to the rest
of the world.
Frankly, the admiralty, in the light
of its own conception of Britain's
necessity for maintaining the pre-
of her own navy-fails to
see the object of Americas proposed
great increase in building. The Brit
ish don't disguise their honest belief
that any building program by Ameri-
ca directed toward naval supremacy
is unwise. They say America, due to
physical reasons, need never become
an essentially maritime nation, while
Britain cannot avoid it. Therefore,
they reason, if America builds the
biggest navy in the world, it would
be an artificial creation while with
Britain it has been a natural growth.
The most powerful feature of the sit
lation is the fact the two countries
are able to discuss the issue in such
= manner, without a suspicion of ram
cor and without fear and no motives
other than a desire to reach a solu-
ton that will be the most helpful to
each other and the world.
