TITLE HINGES ON
OHIO-ILLINI GAME

Chicago-The 1921 championship of
the western conference virtually hinges
on the Ohio State-lllinois game next
Saturday, when the Buckeyes meet
their bitterest opponents of past years,
while Iowa, the other undefeated Big
Ten squad. has in prospect an easy
victory over Northwestern which has
failed to win q conference game this
season.
Ohio state must defeat Illinois to di-
vide the championship honors with
Iowa, while Wisconsin, with four vic
tories and tie with Michigan Satur-
day. hopes for a victory over Chicago
next Saturday TO retain the position
of runner-up
All of the Big Ten teams will play
this week end and though the other
games are not important from the
championship standpoint they are both
games of traditional rivalry Purdue
and indiana will meet and Michigan
and Minnesota will play at Ann Arbor
before a homecoming crowd which is
expected to number 10000 persons.
The Michigan Minnesota game Is Of
interest principally because of the ira
ditional rivalry of the two schools.
Michigan Is the favOrite, because OF
the showing made against Wisconsin.

Elastic Naval Holiday Is Also
Asked BY Balfour, Bri-
fish Delegate.
OPPOSES 1O-YEAR PLAN
Hughes Proposal Necessitates Retain
Ing ship Building Plants intact,
Another Objection to
Program.

Washington-Great Britain's accept
ancs lin principle" OF the American
proposals for limitation Of naval ar
OF the plan in several important de-
tails.
The British acceptance was present
ed at Tuesdays plenary session OF the
conference by Arthur J. Balfour. head
Of the mission, who has plenipoten-
tiary powers. Japan's acceptance lin
principle" although 1t has been fore
cast by the statements OF Baron Ad-
miral Kato, may be delayed, as the
Japanese mission Is obliged to confer
with Tokyo.
Prefers Elastic Program.
Mr.. Balofur did not outline, the de-
tails Of the reservations Great Britain
wishes to make but they are substan-
TALLY described this way:
Instead OF a fat ten-year holiday,
Great Britain wants the replacement
program to be an elastic one-spread
over q period OF years.
Great Britain would like to see the
submarine outlawed from nava. war
fare. Failing this, she wants to see
their tonnage and equipment distinct
ly limited. She feels that the sub
mersible fleets allowed by the Ameri-
can program are too great-she has
never had so large submarine fleet
as the proposals would allow her.
The United States, Great Britain
feels, would have her at disadvan-
tage in airplane carrying ships, under
the terms Of the American proposals,
because while Great Britain has an
equipment of these craft the United
States would have to build new the
number allotted. These would be of
later design and of superior improve
ments, while the British ships would
be obsolete.
Oppose First Ten-year Program.
Great Britain wants the replace
ment program spread over period
OF years because, British naval ex-
perts argue, the program could be car
ried \on with very small equipment
OF building plant at a small scale,
probably ship at a time. II fiat
ten-year holiday were to be declared
they say, the facilities for making
wholesale replacement at the end Of
ten years would have to be kept in
organization and, although great fleets
OF warships might be consigned to
the junk pile, the facilities for repro
ducing them still would exist.
Such program, the British naval
experts say, does not go to the root
Of the question. Therefore they will
propose that, for instance, one-ship
production equipment be left to each
nation, to fit in with a replacement
program extending over period of
years, and that the immense proper
ties, equipment, technical stats and
other organization which would have
20 be kept in readiness to take up a
replacement program in ten years, be
dispensed with.

MYSTERIOUS KILLING
AT BEAVER DAM

Between two and three o'clock
Saturday morning the citizens of
Beaver Dam were aroused by the
discharge of firearms in the vicinity
of the Beaver Dam Drug Cos store
on Main Street and, upon investiga-
ton one, Millard Bailey, son of
Gran. Bailey, OF near Rosine, was
found lying on the sidewalk with a
bullet-hole through the upper front
part of his head. He was in a
precarious condition and was bare
ly able to be conveyed to his home,
where he died about one o'clock D,
m. He gave no clue as to the
identity of his assailant and the
whole episode seems to be shrouded
in mystery. On the preceding night
the drug store of r. T. Taylor had
been entered by burglars and some
alcohol and narcotics stolen. On
the same night the store of Otho
Dexter and the Beaver Dam Drug
Co.. in front of which Bailey was
found, were broken into and small.
amounts of cash and merchandise
taken. One theory of the shooting
is that some citizen Of the town
fired the fatal shot when the
marauder was caught in the act of
burglary; another hypothesis is that
Bailey was slain by one OF his COM
rades as the result of quarrel over
the division of their loot. It is re-
ported that another of. the culprits
was seen and recognized before he
succeeded in making a getaway.
