I'VE have few swimming pools, no

Facts and Figures
Birmingham has only four public
tennis courts; Louisville has So We
have only baseball diamonds; Gin
cinnati has 81. Birmingham has no
public golf courses, while Indian
apclis has 4. And remember that it
takes just los acres to produce a

however, that Birmingham is to have
public golf course at Green
Springs. Such courses, in usual
cities, usually charge from nothing
at all to so cents a day, 81 per month,
or $40 season for playing. This
money goes toward the upkeep of the
courses.
From this" said Mr. Totten. "one
can naturally infer that other cities
possess a great deal more acreage
than does Birmingham.
Some cities have parks running in
size anywhere from small plots to
COO or more acres in one body of
ground. Almost anybody can recall
great park acreages they. have en-
joyeds when they have visited, or
passed through. other cities"
Both Mr. Totten and Mr. Brownell

PROVIDENCE, II. J., Nov. i2.--The con-
crete and heart cheering proposal Of
Secretary Hughee and his colleagues Of
the limitation OF naval armament is
founded upon blended common sense,
unselfish purpose. far reaching patriot
ism and high sense OF duty OF America

The American proposition is one that

nations whose past friendly relations
are progressively becoming strained but
II is a suggestion that makes for clearer
and better military understanding be-
tween such Powers.
The action OF our delegates Is die
tinct tribute to their diplomatic ability.
Ii tells OF their broad international
spirit and likewise of tho Individual and
collective farseelng vision OF the Amcri-
can plenpotontiarles in the promptness
with which tho American proposal was
presented.
The manifest sincerity OF It's purpose.
the extensive yet unselfish scope Of its
operations and the striking manner In
which Il appeals to our intelligence and
the best that Is within US show that
Americas action Is the outcome OF ex-
teusive study. thoughtful reflection and
an overshadowing love OF humanity. IL
becomingly expresses the real hope OF
our nation. because II shows that Ameri-

TOXIC TO AGREE, SAY
z NOTED JAPANESE
Members of Industrial Party
Touring U. s. Gleeful Over
Hughes Programme.

Japan will fail Into line and readily.
even eagerly, accept Americas basis for
limitation OF armaments and a. naval
holiday as outlined by Secretary Hughes
before the conference In Washington on
Saturday night There may be minor
points upon which Japan may want spe-
cific guarantees-recogniti of her con-
cessions in Manchuria, for one-but in
the main the Japanese people are thor
oughly sick and tired of war and well
come the promise of it's future outlaw
as indicated by Americas proposals.
The foregoing was the opinion. given
without qualification to THE NEW York
HERALD yesterday by DIR. Takuma Dan,
head OF the unofficial Japanese indus
trial mission touring the United States
and Great Britain in the interests Of
Japan's Industrial and commercial ad-
vancement.
There was" DR.. Dan said, I'm his
apartment In the Plaza yesterday "at
first a disposition In Japan to believe
that the Washington Conference fo'
Limitation of armament had been called
with Japan foremost in mind. 1t was
felt. even, that the conference was aimed
directly at Japan--that IL was move
to compel her to reduce her naval pro-
other nation. That belief has been dis
spated. l am glad to say, In a very
large measure by the obvious sincerity
OF Americas effort and by the character
and personnel OF Americas delegates
TO the conference. Mr.. Hughes's frank
announcement Of what America was will
ing to do toward disarmament has made
that dissipation complete. IL anything
was necessary to complete 1t.
Japan Is sick and tired of war. Her
people shrink from It. We thought after
the last war with China that peace had
come forever to Asia. But then the Rus
SLAMS came. And then the world war.
Japan would gladly abolish all arma-
ments II she could DR.. Dan continued
There is one thing, however, to be
borne in mind. That Is that Japan can
not compete with America or England in
the matter of creating armament in an
emergency. What America can build in
one year would take Japan ten. That
must be considered in any proposal for
universal Limitation Of armament
But all that Japan asks is equal OPP
portunity with the other nations of the
world--the open door In respect of COM
mcrcial and industrial expansion. With
such guarantees japan will gladly reac,
to Americas suggestion because her peo-
pie have seen much and shrink from the
horrors OF war"
DIR. Dan requested The NEW YORK
HERALD to emphasize the fact that the
Japanese people generally believed
themselves to he misunderstood and
misrepresented in the United States and
that this belief led them possibly to
suspect. at first. the sincerity of Presi-
dent Harding's call for the armament

speed and carrying not more than four
s,-inch guns as we may need. No ton
mage limit is prescribed for this class OF
SHIPS.
So largo a total Of $4,000 tons for air
craft carriers will allow us to auild two
extremely large ships, and so IT will be
entirely possible to take two OF out
battle cruisers now on the stocks anc
reconstruct them as aircraft carriers at
a possible saving of many millions.
While the stated displacements of thesc
snips is 43,500 tons as battle cruisers,
conversion and the elimination of heavy
guns and turrets and armor will reduce
the displacement to possibly $500 tons.
This total of 10000 gives us ample
limits.
Also our auxiliary tonnage for tank
as, GOLFERS. supply ships, transports. re-
uaiI ships, destroyer and submarine
d.pots, yard craft and other types Is
open
1t will be distinct jolt to that part

priations for aircraft carriers and other
very necessary types to find that even
jn the event of the limitation Of arma-
.ents they will be expected to provide

Turning promptly to the immediate
problem, the Admiralty section of the
British delegation began to-day a close
study of technical features OF the limi-
tation OF naval armament as outlined
by Secretary Hughes in behalf of the
American delegation yesterday.
It seems probable. from intimations
given by the British. that they will be
ready to issue formal statement on
certain of the technical phases on Tues
day.
As had been expected by the Ameri-
can experts on naval and merchant ma
rine affairs. the British came we'll pre-
pared 70 consider the questions from
every technical and trade standpoint
In fact. the Admiralty section of Great
Britain. headed by the First Sea Lord
Lord Beatty. Is the largest OF all tho
British sections.
Practically the entire day was spent
by this section In going over the gen
erai effect OF Secretary Hughes's pro-
gramme.

Memories OF last years defeat at

All week the Bulldog has been pre-

waiting for the moment when his
leash will be slipped and all obsta-
cles in his path to the Panther's
throat will have been removed.
A bulldog is usually considered

This afternoon will usher in the
moment long awaited by Bulldog
gridders, that of trotting out on the
field to oppose the Painters. The
eleven to meet the Owenton aggre-
cation this afternoon is one of the
strongest Howard has had in some
