or semi-officlal explanation of its Gre
alton was given.
There were indications, however.
that the new step was based upon an
informal communication from the jap
snese delegation that Japan stood
ready to accept the "fve-fiye-threer
ratio subjecs to certain modification :
in detail of the American proposal. 1t
appeared likely that it woald become
the business of the committee of 15''
to write into the treaty form for sig
nature by all five powers the definite
agreement based on the "five-fiTe-
three proposal, but carried out In
detail. If this proves to be Tie case.
the new con,mttee viii seek solU-
ton of eacn phase of the naval re-
duction and limitation plan as il arises,
framing its conclusions into sections
of the proposed treaty.
The new steps have thrown into
prominence for the first time in The
conference the question of the French
and Italian place in the naval ratio.
mittce of 49, Spokesman for Italy
said she was willing to stop where
she is in naval strength, provided she
was allowed equality with France in
ratio. Tho attitude OF the French
group on tlus point was not disclosed
and British spokesman indicated that
Great Britain must consider tho place
of the French and Italian navies as
following in general the 'iive-five-
three" ratio agreement between the
other three POWERS.
Another point was the firm convic-
lion that submarines should be wholly
abolished as naval weapons. 1t was
assorted. however, that British accept
arce of the "fve-five-three" ratio was
in no sense conditional upon such a
conclusion. Great Britain docs hope,
however, her spokesman said. for Il
chance to state her case TO the
world" as 10 submarines before a
plenary session of the conference.

Maine Legion Head a Visitor

Major Edward S. Anthoine, head
of the Maine branch of the American
Legion was the guest Monday after
noon of the Chi Chapter of Zeta Psi
at an informal reception given at
their fraternity house on the Colby
college campus. Major Anthoine
graduated from Bowdoin college in
the class of 1902 where he was
member of Zeta Psi fraternity: Major
Anthoine was shown through the
house which has recently been thor
oUghly renovated and at the present
time is one of the most attractive
fraternity house on the Colby cam
pus.
After having finished looking about
the house everyono congregated in
the fraternity parlors on the first
floor where Major Anthoine made a
short informal speech.
He said that when he was in col
lege all the boys lived in dormitor-
les just as the non fraternity men
do at the present time. They had
their chapter hall in some room that
they were able to rent in town and
the fraternity life was lacking to a
great degree.
The speaker did not seem to like
the way that the fraternity houses
are situated at Colby for he said that
he hoped that all the fraternities
would be able to have their own
houses in a group somewhere on the
campus. This he declared would
bring the fraternities in closer un-
ion and make the boys become bet
ter acquainted with each other.
