British Declare Such Program
Would Upset Whole Plan for
Five-Five-Three Reduction.
ITALY DlSAPPR0vES SUCH
BUILDING PROPOSALS
italians Declare if France Con-
StruCts Ships They Must do
Same Amount of Building.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ia. PD-
The French delegation presented a
proposal for so great an increase in
French naval strength that the British
declare such n program would upse;
the whole plan for the -five-three
reduction.
The British understand the French
plan provides for construction of ten
uperdreadnaughts of 35, 900 ton capa-
city, in ten years SUBSEQUENT to 1926.
Vessels of type similar TO the Ameri-
can battleship Maryland would give
France a capital ship tonnage of $780,
600 against 3I5,0 900 for Japan and pre-
ponderance of a new "post-Jutland"
type craft over all nations. Italy, al
though indicating her disapproval of
such a building program, is said to
have told the arms conference that if
France constructs 10 such ships Italy
must carry out similar building pro-
gram.
Would Abandon Submarines
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-(U, I. -
britain wants total abandonment Of
submarines British semi-official
spokesman reported Sir Arthur Bal
four is insisting.
France Blocks Negotiations
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.--(U. PD-
The three great powers, having reach
ed an agreement on the naval ratio
problem today are framing an instru-
ment for submission at tomorrow's
plenary session. France is still block
ing negotiations by her demands for
navy slightly greater than Japan's, but
her attitude will change, it was said.
WASHINGTON, Dec 16.-(U. PO
in demanding that France he grant
cd n naval capital ship tonnage of
$50, 900, or slightly greater than ia
pan "ccepted allotment, making her
the third navy in the world, Admiral
Lebon said that had France pushed
her building program during the war
she would have had a greater navy
than Japan. Italy wants a navy equal
to France. while Britain demurs at
the French and Italian navy combined
being greater than hers.
This situation, with Sir Arthur Bal
four's demand that submarines be
abolished, marked a serious crisis in
the arms conference. 1t is thought
probable, however. that France and
Italy will be persuaded to accept the
figure "2" in the five-three ratio of the
world naval powers.
Naval Committee AdjouIns.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-THE ma
val committee Of the arms conference
adjourned this afternoon following
disagreement over Frances demand
for third place in the navy. They will
meet again tomorrow.

already been made"

Upon the fourth anniversary OF

SAVANNAH BANKER
STATES BUSINESS
IS GETT|NC BETTER

Mills B. Lane, of Savannah, presl-
dent of the Citizens and Southern
bank, while in Atlanta Tuesday, re-
marked upon the improved business
conditions in Savannah, particular
with respect to exports, and express
ed the view the revival is sympto-
matte of more promising conditions
in all lines of business activity.
Everything is a little bit better,
he said. We cleared a ship in Sa-
yannah last week with $4,000 bales
of cotton consigned to British port.
That was the largest and, in fact, the
only shipment in recent months Oh
normal proportions.
"A little turpentine is moving; a
little rosin is being exported; a little
lumber is being shipped; little ac-
evident. The volume is not up TO
normal, but a little. you appreciate,
is better than none. The mere tact
that a little is being done in these
lines indicates a revival OF interest
all along the line. ~,
"The resumption, relatively smail
though it is, is to business stagna-
lion what little shower of rain
is to growing crops after a long
drought. It helps nightly, and IN
two ways. 1t helps the crops a
trifle and it helps the mental adl-
tude Of the depressed farmer"
Mr.. Lane declared another NOTE
fact that collections have improved
vastly within the last thirty. days
and in many lines there is disposl-
tion to liduidate and get in on the
ground floor in the readjusted con-
ditions.
