MAY SHORTEN HOLIDAY
FOR NAVAL CONSTRUCTION

Washington. Dec 2.--An impression
is growing I'm American naval circles
that Il may prove expedient to modify
the American plan sufficiently TO per-
NIT building of capital ships to con-
tinue during the holiday on very re-
stricted basis. There is evidence that
both the British and japanese feel the
necessity of such a modification, II II
said, and American officers To some ex-
tent share that view.
The question of the naval holiday
has not been discussed by experts Of
the Ave powers. although IL may have
figured I'm the conversations between
Secretary Hughes, Arthur j. Balfour
and Admiral Baron Kato.
At the beginning of the conference
when the American plan was made
known, British representatives indi-
Gated they We're. Immediately struck
by the probability that some arrange
ment to continue naval shipbuilding
during the period would be necessary
for both economic reasons and because
of the desirability OF keeping up with
the development of warship designing
and similar naval engineering tech
nical knowledge.
The British representatives suggest
ed ship n year" program in an in
formal way, but later it was stated
they had no intention Of proposing
that each nation should lay down a
capital ship each year.

FOREIGN LEASES BEFORE
FAR EAST COM MITTEE

Washington. Dec. 2.~The delicate
question OF foreign leases i'm China to-
day came before the Far Eastern COM
mittee Of the armament conference.
II IL generally regarded ms the most
difiicuN of all the Chinese questions
yet considered with wellnigh insur-
mountahle obstacles to IA settlement
unless Japan will surrender Dalny-
Port Arthur. This would mean Civ
ing up the most impregnablc position
Japan has upon the Asiatic mainland.
The only other leases of a similar
sort are those OF Great Britain to
Wei-Hei-Wei opposite to Port Arthur.
and of France To Kwang Chow I'm
southern China opposite the islands of
Hainan and along the line of commun-
ications to the French colony of Indo-
China. All these leases and that of
Shantung to Germany date from
1898. and are in a quite different cate
CORY from the English Hong Kung or
the Portuguese settlement of Macao.
The leases I'm question also are quite
apart from such foreign municipal
reservations ~ Tion-Tsin.
The impression in conference ctr
Giles IL that both the British and the
French would give up their .conces-
sions II the Japanese would agree To
give up Dalny-port Arthur. hut II is
felt there is little likelihood OF Japan
doing SO. The conference may seek
n formula to defer n decision by ac-
cepting the principles of surrender.
but postpcning until conditions in Asia
are more settled.
China. IL is understood. does not ask
an immediate evacuation OF these
leases but only their de-militariza-
tion.

cording to the report made by Major
General Leonard Wood, governor

The complete report was Issued today
by the War Department. as n supple
ment TO the recent publication OF spe-

Need OF further national improve
ment In pointed out by the report
which declares. however, that the ad-
minlstrative mistakes OF the Filipinos
have not been sufficient TO counterbal-
ancc the steadily rising progress baro-
meter.
Generally speaking" the report
says. administrative departments OF
the government are top heavy In per-
sonnel and enmeshed in red tape
There Is a vnst amount OF paper work
The methods Of the administration are
purely autocratlc. There IL lack OF
supervision and personal contact"
Responsibility for this condition IL

granted restraining them from in any
way interfering with the funds OF the
complainants. or of the funds OF the
Pennsylvania System division organi-
zation OF the United Brotherhood. or
from destroying any of the records or
property OF the United Brotherhood.

sylvania System Fraternity, a new
orga MIA tion.
Pennsylvania railroad employes
thronged the Court OF Chancery al
lZ.lo o'clock, when the hearing began.
Alexander Jamison and David j.
Reinhardt were attorneys for the COM
plainants and j. Frank Ball and Rob
ert G. Harman represented the de-
PENDANTS
The complainants promptly asked
for leave TO amend the bill, but the de-
PENDANTS objected, contending the at
torneys for the complainants could
not predicate an amended bill on a
void original bill and declaring there
was no allegation that Roberts had au-
thority 10 file a bin for the United
Brotherhood or make affidavit for it.
Attorney Harman argued that the old
bill should be dismissed and new bill
substituted and said there was nothing
nj the amended bill. Chancellor VOL
colt stated it was his impression the
complainants had a right TO amend. as
the original bill was defective and the
object OF amending IL was TO cure
defects, but after further argument
not wishing 10 decide offhand, ne took
the objection under advisement.
Counsel for the defendants an
nounced that restraining order
granted by Judge Herbert l.. Rice, had
tied up the creditors of the Pennsyl-
vania System Fraternity, and asked
that the restraining order be dis
missed. Chancellor Wolcott refused
the request. Attorney Harman next
sought to have the restraining order
modified so that the Pennsylvania
System Fraternity will be authorized
TO spend sufficient money to keep the
organization in existence, but ne did
not succeed. Both sides predicted
there would be big fight before they
got through, and Mr.. Harman express
ed hope that the Pennsylvania Sys-
TEN Fraternity would not be ruined
by the lawsuit.
Chancellor Wolcott continued the
hearing on the rule until next We'd
nesday.
