1t appeared that a French pro-
posal was submitted at the first
meeting of the committee after
Secretary Hughes had announced
the agreement between Great Brit
ain, Japan and the United States to
abandon projected building pro-
grams, scrap siXty-eight capital
Fhins, aggregating nearly 100000
tons, and set their navies In ten
years on 5-5-3 ratio basis as be-
tween themselves. TIE one action

French spokesmen have repeat
edly pointed out that they are
without any official knowledge of
what was in progress in the "big

yesterday and II appeared possible
that when the French government
had taken time to study closely the

such possible developments were In
circulation tonight but whether on
knowledge or hope could not be
determined.

The relentless rule of silence ap-

Christmas Fund Is Being Raised
To SdUe Farm TO Greatest Hero

Memphis, Tenn. Dec. 16.-Spec-
ial.) .)-If the Merriest Christmas
feeling keeps on spreading Ser
geant Alvin C. York is going to
wake up some fine morning and
find that the mortgage on his farm
and one-room cabin up in the Ten
nessee mountains has dun evapo-
rated" That's what York would
say himself. Several of the men
of his company who spent several
days prying York's story out Of the
big, bashful, red headed mountain
boy said that was about as far as
the sergeant would go in spea king
.of his single handed fight with the
gunners OF the German machine
gun nests.
"Ah lcrawled up on 'em," the
sergeant is reported saying, land
Ah asked them most pleasant and
polite like to please quit pesterin'

they shot a Ah shot an they dun

Patriotic Americans from all sec
tions of the country are contribut-

from the war. But York must pay
the rest of the purchase price.
For his war service York re-
ceived the congressional medal, the
highest honor that a grateful coun-
try can pin on the coat of its hero
sons. Sergeant York got the con-
gressional medal from his country.
And that's all he got.
York is second elder of his
church up there in the mountains
and leads the services on Sunday.
York is a stubborn man. He took
his Bible with him when he was
dragged into the army, and he
stuck tight to the text, Thou shalt
not kill"

Every night he had York marched
over to his tent under strong and
desperate guard armed to the
teeth. The first time York came
he thought the captain was going
to pull a gun on him, and he made
up his mind to die game. But the
captain pulled Bible and York
promptly reached down in his
pocket and pulled his Bible.
Text That Finished Objccting.
Then the captain and York read
Pible texts back and forth to each
other. The first night it was a
draw. The second and the third
and the fourth nights the duel
ragged with honors even. But the
fifth night the captain read the
verse, 81 say unto you that ye are

And IL the enemy break in and the
people of the city are slain their

Washington. Dec. 16 (by the AS
sociated Press. while another as
sault on the four-power Pacific
treaty was in progress today in the
senate, administration spuhesmen
TOOK their inst notice OF the senate
discussions and let 1t be known tnat
tney did not regard the treaty as
imposing an Obligation TO take up
arms.
No provision of the new agree
ment, 1t was declared in highest ad-
miniStrallUn circles, obiIgates any
one OF the four powers to take mill
ltary measures in pursuance of de-
cislons reached by consultations
among them. 1t was added that
ANY such guarantee did not, in any
sense, represent the spirit of the
treaty.
Region of the Pacific.
The officials were not wiling to
go further in interpreting the pact,
Uut in response to questions, they
reiterated their understanding that
the region of the Pacific ocean,"
as the term is used in the treaty
text, includes the principal islands
of the Japanese empire and AUS
tralia and New Zealand, as well.
British spokesmen have endorsed
that application of the term and
have declared it to be the unani-
nous understanding on which the
treaty was signed.
The attack on the treaty in the
senate during the day was made by
Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri,
tn 80
cluding Japan within the scope of
the pact and declared an obliga-
ton was included for protection of
japanese territorial integrity. He
again characterized the arrange
ment as an alliance by which the
United States would have little to
gain and much to lose.
May Cause War.
Senator Reed also declared the
four-power plan might compel the
United SSates togo 10 war against
China or Russia. On this point.
official administration spokesmen
have insisted repeatedly that the
treaty in no way affects the MAIN
land of Asia and could not be In
voked in relation to questions aris-
ing with Chinese or Russian juris-
diction.
Further than this, there has been
no attempt by the administration
to interpret or explain the language
of the treaty, repeated queries
meeting with the response that the
text of the agreement speaks for
itself.
Attitude OF Silence.
The same attitude of silence has
been adopted by administration
