DEADLOCK BETWEEN AMERICA, JAPAN AS TO NAVAL REDUCTIONS WILL REACH
 DEFINITE CONCLUSION IN SHORT TIME
Associated Press Night wire)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 28. arms conference is approach ing its first great decision.
 It was announced tonight by Vice Admiral Kato, chief Japanese naval expert, that Japan seeks a 70 per cent naval ratio. It. also was an nounced with equal authority that the American delegation stood firmly on Secretary Hughes "5-5-3" ratio which means 60 per cent status for Japan. The conference must reconcile these two views or accept one or the other to reach agreement.
 Vice-Admiral Kato said the 70 per cent ratio was the minimum neces- sary for Japanese security. The American view is that 60 per cent for Japan is the maximum naval strength that could be accepted in view of the, American liabilities in the Pacific.
 Tomorrow naval experts of the five powers will meet. They have con- cluded their inter-group discussion of the American plan so far as its major factors are concerned. De- today and tonight indi- cate that they would return the mat ter to the conference delegates with out recommendations for important 
 The American experts are satisfied that the original estimates of naval strength were correct. Presumably the British officers are in accord with the American view in many re- spects. The French and Italian atti- tu6e has not been formally disclosed.

 LET NEW YORK WITHOUT NOR[
Associated Press Night Wire,

NEW YORK, Nov. 28. = Lieut.. Col. Charles A. H. Whittlesey, hero of the famous Lost Battalion, has disappeared from the steamship To- loa on which he sailed Saturday for Havana. according to a wireless to- day.
 Members of Mir. Whittlesey's law firm here were at a loss to account for his visit to Cuba. When he left the offices of the firm Friday he an nounced his intention, they said, of attending the Army-Navy game Sat urday
 His business associates declared his mind was clear and that he apparent ly was in good health when last seen. He seemed cheerful, they added, and declared they were unable to explain his seemingly strange action in go- ing away without notifying them of his plans.
 The crisp, laconic reply, You go to hell,' hurled into the teeth of a German officer who called on him and his men to surrender, was the rhetorical battlefield classic which brought Colonel Whittlesey into fame.
 Surrounded in the Argonne with his command, the First battalion of the 308th infantry, Seventy-severith division, he had been cut off for four days without food or fresh water. All but 87 men had been killed or wounded. At dusk October /, 1918, blindfolded German bear ing a white flag crossed the lines. He bore message asking the Americans to surrender fin the name of humanity"
 A few hours after, the messenger was sent back with Whittlesey's re- ply An American advance took place an dall were rescued His ex- oloit was rewarded by President Wilson with the congressional medal of honor After the armistice the German officer who demanded Whit lesey's surrender added to his laurels y publishing a statement extolling he Americans courage.

stand" This song, written 30 years ago by the Rev. M. M. Cornelius, Mrs. Storey's uncle, who at that time was pastor of the First Presby- terian church of Pasadena, Calif., was a favorite of MT. Storey's.
 From the hall, the funeral cortege proceeded to the Mountain View cemetery, where graveside services were conducted by the Elks and Ma sonic lodges. The order of the funeral procession was observed as follows: Masonic lodge members, Elks lodge members, Storey funeral car followed by members of the family, Jaeger funeral car followed by members of the family, followed by the public. During the services at the cemetery, at the grave of MT Storey were grouped members of the family and behind them members of the Elks lodge, while at the grave of Mir. Jaeger were grouped the family and members of the Masonic lodge. Pallbearers were:
 For Mir. Jaeger-C. H. Hooker, B. H. Smith, Roy Chambers, William Harmony, Joseph Metz and C. E. Gentry.
 For MT. Storey - James Shaugh- messy, Thomas Gatfield, B. s. Shy der, William Irwin, E. A. McSwig- gin, J. J. Sweeney, w. A. Davidson and David Biles.
 In the funeral address delivered at the Elks' hall, Rev. Andrews, taking as his text Job 14:I4, "If man die shall he live again." spoke in part as follows:
 "In the text Job asked the question of antiquity, If man die shall he live again?' He sat in the ashes Of despair. That unpitying hand that spares not had crossed his threshold and there came the desire to see his loved ones again. Who has not seen the work of his old monster and pro- pounded the question of Job?
 Thank God the hope of immor- tality IS not a lie. It is born of God, and man, Gods child, is as deathless as God himself Long after this earth shall perish man shall live, Life is full of mystery. There Is as much mystery about one of these

good catch.
Sandy Toothman fielded well in
right and at first base, but as a
clean up man at the bat he was a
punctured tire.
Howard Hardesty was all dressed

coaching at first base, but Jack
Abbott put him in the shade with
his heavy thunderings from the
grandstand.
After one collection had been
taken up to defray the expenses
Of the game, Abbott suggested that
a second plate be passed In behalf
of the Clarksburg streets. This
was rather cruel suggestion, but
1t carried to the visitors bench.
