Occasions On Which
kits Are To Be Worn
Associated Press

EDINBURGH, Nov. 20-Scores of
American visitors to Scotland have
wondered by whom and on what occa-
sions the picturesque native dress of
Scotland, kits, are worn nowadays.
Upon inquiry it is learned that
apart from actual Highland gather
ings where everyone is expected to
"dress the part" there are only four
classes of killed folk accepted without
comment in Scotland. In the North
the head of clans and septs, the "gen-
try'-which includes Engllshmen
Welshnen, and anyone who owns lano
or uses as playground; in the South
the public piper; and all over Scot,
land, the soldier. AS an evening dress
it also has a degree of general popu
larity.

THE REDUCTION
NAVAL ARMAMENT
The kokumin Shimbun Publishes Ar
ticle Pointing Out Difficulties In
- vOlyed On Reduction Thereof.
Associated Press

TOXIC, Nov. 20-The Kokumin
Shimbun publishes an article pointing
out the difficulties involved on the
reduction of naval ornaments. 1t
says that the fact that the final VIC
tory won by the Allies was due large
ly to the great naval power of the
British Empire will surely be bar
to the solution of the armament re-
duction problem to be dealt with by
the League of Nations. Above all,
Japan being surrounded by the sea,
must depend upon commodities i'm
ported from other countries.
The Kokumin adds that even if t
present conditions of the navy be
made the standard of the reduction
of armament Great Britain and Am
erica will not feel danger for then
| national defence. But Japan has not
even a suficiency for defence and can
not admit that the present condition
of the navy is the standard of arm
ament. The Kokumin also expressed
the opinion that it would be unfai
to make the length of coast line tn
standard of the restriction Of arma
ment.
