BY JUNIUS b. WOOD.

When Admiral Baron Tomosabura
Kato. minister Of navy, and ranking
delegate from Japan to the confer
ence, finished his talk to the news
paper men yesterday and invited a
barrage Of questions, he passed the
first query tossed across the table, Il
don't know the exact figure" was
his reply on how many keels have
been laid down in Japan's eight-eight
naval program. 1t is doubtful If any
body can answer that question Off
hand. The eight-eight program gets
it's name from the feature of eight
superdreadnaughts and eight battle
cruisers which are merely its center
piece.
The eight-eight program does not
mean merely sixteen battle giants,
but a naval force Of 223 flrst-line
ships, none of which will be more
than eight years old. There will be
others who have reached the navy
retirement age of eight years in the
second line. Admiral Kato was
thinking of the 2S3, which eight-eight
means, Instead Of the sixteen which
it represents, and his reply was char
acteristic Of his concise accuracy. The
proportion OF the 223 which are afloat,
in the stocks or still on paper is
changing daily.

By March of next year this program
will have been completed to a strength
of S-4. In 1924. it will reach SIS pro.
portions, and. if the conference does
not agree on solution. round into SIS
completion In 1928. Lessons learned
at Jutland in the war also have caused
changes in plans though not in fleet
organization. Instead of capital ships
of 27,500 and $4,000 tons displacement
with fourteen-inch guns, the new plans
call for $4,000 and 10000 tons and six !.
teen-inch guns.

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, November 9.-Indorsement
of the aims of the Washington arma-
ment conference by the students of
Princeton University has called forth
favorable comments here. Saburo
Shinaeda, member of parliament, de-
clared he had heard with pleasure
that the American students had taken
action similar to that Of the labor
unions. churches, women's organiza-
.tions and other important groups. He
said It gave good assurances for the
future.
I'VE now know that the American
nation is united in its opinion" he
added. Il don't know how seriously
japanese statesmen are thinking OF
'tae Washington conference said DR.:
Sakuxa Yoshino. professor Of political
:....story at the imperial university,
.sbut the majority of the people seem
to hope for its success. There has
beea no demonstration by Japanese
students, but in almost every uni
versity and college they have held
debates and invited SPEAKERS to pre-
sent the subject to them. They seem
to agree with the American students
in their attieu6e."

rigid official secrecy. However. much
can be told about the s-s program,
including some details which are sup
posed to be secret. The original ex-
pansion plan of the japanese navy
called for two S-4 units, with sixteen
superdreadnaughts and eight battle
cruisers as the backbone of two fleets.
This was discarded for the 8-S pro-
gram, and in 1919 the present naval
minister secured an appropriation
from the diet Of 5S4,OOO.0OO yen to
start the program. Last year the fin
ishing touches were put on it, with
an appropriation Of 752.0O0,0O0 yen,
all to be expended before 1928. when
the program was to be completed
Though the value of yen remains
around ~ cents, the increased cost of
material and labor in Japan may in
crease the total as high as SO per
cent above the total appropriations
The S-S program. if completed, will
comprise first line ships. each less
than eight years old, as follows:
Superdreadnaughts. eight; battle
cruisers. eight; cruisers, twenty
three; destroyers, seventy-seven: SUBJ
marines, eighty; river gunboats, five;
tenders and auxiliaries. twenty-five;
total, 223.
OnIy Part or Strength.
That will be only q part of the
strength of the Japanese navy, for
many ships will be serviceable in case
Of need, though they have passed the
eight-year retirement age. There will
be about eight major ships alone in

ssWho is this that cometh
With bloodstained garments?''

Soldier, what your name2
Whence your forbear.?
Were they from Wanted ones Of earth
Or we're they lowly and obscure?
What was your life? Did you walk
In noble halls Of learning, follow plow -.
Through brown, sweetsmelling burrows?
What looked you like? Was your
Young body spare or generous Of girth?
Had you eyes of laughing hazel
Or Of quiet grayf
Were you strong
To suffer- or did you shrink from pain
And needs must summon all your powers
To help you bear the cruel hurt of war?
What knowledge have we Of you-save that
Once some dear, young mother bore you.
Clasped you to her breast in rapture;
Some glad father took you in his arms
And thrilled to know that you would
Wear his name and day hold his hand
And with beginning steps walk by his side!
What dreams attended your coming
Here was a lnanchild who might live
To show the world what could be
The measure of man.
Even 50 was it to be: And yet,
How different from the dreams.
Know we naught else of you, our Soldier?
Yes!
Proudly know that you were not Stacker,
Know that when you heard the buge-cal
You answered, Il am here"
Barred your breast to take the blow
Aimed at your countrys life
And for that life exchanged your
What need we more to know?
You are not one alone,
Oh quiet sleeper, lying here,
You are every lad who heard the call
And needed not Of self, but for country,
(And for me your grateful debtor).

Have ever counted dearest.
We cannot honor you though We give you now
Far more than your imagination ever sought:

the wide repute of the author. is re-
markably generous; but 1t is declined
with thanks and without needless
hesitation. For we discover. in this
little plan of free publicity. that It is
nothing but propaganda TO restore
Arbuckle to the public favor which
he has SO grossly and wantonly for
feited.
Before. jumping so hard on Ar
buckle" cries this inspired advocate
Of fair play. "decent-minded people.
not carried away by hysteria, would
like to know a little more about the
woman who is said to be the victim
of this crime. and the drunken wom-
an who alleges that the crime was
committed"
The public knows enough about all
Of them. 1t is strange that the film
makers--or the particular producer
responsible for the Arbuckle pictures
do not understand better the public
psychology. The public is not on
trial for its opinion OF Arbuckle, but
Arbuckle is on trial before the people
and he has been found gullty-not
for the murder OF Miss Rape. but for
deliberate violation OF the decencies,
for vulgarity for rowdyism, for
drunkenness. for lechery. for the
wicked assassination OF his own pres
tige as a kindly. hearty, loveablo. hon
est and wholesome comedian, given
to amusing antics and innocent
pranks. The public feels that its
faith has been shamefully violated
It knows that the beaming humor and
unctuous spirit OF the fat actor are
a mock and a lie. 1t has been robbed
OF something bv him through his ter
rible misbehavior. and that Is Its SYM
pathy for and trust in the genuine
ness OF his fun.
That is the real essence OF the pub
lie condemnation of Arbuckle. The
film makers would better let It rest
there. We have heard much lately
about renovating the motion pictures
from the inside. The producers
were going to Go it. Let them begin
with Arbuckle.
