Japan into spirit of unrest and dis
content, according to the aAsahi." Ru-
mors that 5000 workmen would be dis
missed by the Kavasaki dockyards in
Kobe following the launching of the
super-dreadnought Kaga early this

However, officers of the company said
new work would be supplied by the con-
struction of the Atago, q still larger
vessel than the Kaga.
Assertions that the plant of foreign
soap company at Amagasaki would be
sold to Kobe concern started one of
the most serious agitations Of the last
week which eliminated with the work
men, who feared dismissal if the plant
changed hands, asking the owners to fix
Il definite dismissal allowance.
Two hundred women instigated a
strike in a match factory near Kobe

wages Was refused.

British Troop Plan
Caused Egyptians
To Reject Terms
Disposal of Military Units
Called Occupation and
Destroys Every Idea of
Internal independence

LONDON, Dec. tBy The Associated
Press) A British government white
Paper" issued tonight regarding the
recent negotiations with an Egyptian
delegation on the abandonment of the
British protectorate over Egypt, shows,
as had been indicated previously, that
the Egyptians rejected the proposals of
Lord Curzon, the Foregn Secretary,
chiefly owing to the military provisions.
The reply of the Egyptian delegation
stated that the proposals reserved to
Great Britain the right to maintain her
military forces at all times throughout
Egypt and to control communication,
which CONSTITUTES occupation pure and
simple, destroys every idea of inde-
.pendence and suppresses even internal
sovereignty" The reply also said the
British proposals respecting Sudan
were also unacceptable, as they failed
to guarantee to Egypt the sovereignty
of Sudan and control of the Nile.
1--WE had hoped" the reply states,
ito conclude treaty of alliance which,
while truly establishing the independ-
ence of Egypt, would have safeguarded
British interests; and Egypt, as an
ally of Great Britain, would have held
it as a point of honor to fulfill scrupu-
lously the obligations incumbent upon
her"
The main features of the govern
ment's proposals, as outlined to ABLY
Yeghen Pasha, head of the Egyptian
delegation, are as follows:
First, in the future British troops
would be confined to Port Said and
the Eastern zone of the Suez Canal /;
second, a British comptroller of the
public debt would be appointed; third
Egypt would have the right of diplo-
matte representation abroad, but in all
treaties, save commercial agreements
the British government would have the
right to be consulted; fourth, Alexan-

the province of Shantung."
Expressing the British governments
attitude toward China's demand, Mr..
Balfour said he would acquiesce in the
view of M. Viyiani. "The British gov
ernment is perfectly willing to return
Weihaiwei to China as part of q gen
eral arrangement intended to confirm
the sovereignty of China and to give
effect to the principle of the open
door," he said.
The surrender, however, Mr.. Balfour
added, must be undertaken as part of
general arrangement. He said he spoke
with the authority of his government
when he pledged that on these con-
ditions Weihaiwei would be given up
with view of assisting in the settle
ment of the Shantung controversy.
In pledging Japan to restore Kiao-chau
to China, Mr.. Hanihara said the ques-
tion probably would be settled in the
Shantung negotiations. "We are pre-
pared to come to an agreement with
China on this basis" he said. "There
are now going on conversations between
japan and China through the good Of
fees of Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Balfour,
the result Of which, it is hoped, will
be happy solution of the problem.
Therefore, the question of the leased
territory Of Kiao-chau is one which
properly calls for separate treatment"

H. Wickham Steed editor of "Thc
London Times" said yesterday at u
luncheon rendered him at the, Canadian
Club of New York that the reputation
of the Versailles Treaty by the United
States caused the American people to
lose "credit throughout the world"
He spoke Of the Versailles Treaty in
connection with his comment on the
arms limitation conference. "The Ver-
sailles Treaty, as the outcome of the
peace conference, left bad taste in the
mouth of the world" he said. 'The
task was immense; far more compli-
Gated than any Of the men who attend
ed the conference had ever imagined.
They did their best, according to their
light, but the result was not complete
success.
eve had to take President Wilson
at his face value, which at chat time
was not far from being his real value.
Nations, like individuals, cannot go
back on their signatures without losing
credit, and the sad truth is that in the
reputation of the treaty the American
people lost credit throughout the
world When 11O,000,0O0 of sturdy in
credit it is calamity. When these
people speak English and share in gen.
eral the ideal Of allegiance to the same
kind of laws, and believe the same
things are worth while that other Eng
sh-speaking nations believe, the ca
lamity is doubled.
"The greatest feature of the Wash

it represents an attempt on the part of
the Administrator Of this great nation
to make good, to re-enter in its own
way in the work of international CO.

acquit or convict if kept locked up for

Opposition by Defense
"We certainly would oppose any such
move" Mr.. McNab declared. "This
jury has been listening to evidence
gathered at great cost to the people of
the state and to the defense; the trial
represents tremendous effort on the
part of all concerned. Certainly the
jury should deliberate more than
twenty-four hours"
Court attaches shortly thereafter in
timated that the trial judge had been
approached by counsel for both sides
looking. toward discharging of the jury
and had refused to consider the matter
at that time. They said they believed
the jury would not be discharged to-
night.
The judge said that in the event
there is no decision tonight he would
come to court at 10 a. M tomorrow
and decide whether the balloting should
be continued
Arbuckle appeared few minutes be-
fore 10 o'clock wearing a thick black
overcoat. He did not have the haggard
look that he carried away with him
last night. He chatted with newspaper
men and others in an apparently care
free manner, but at noon he showed
that the strain was telling on him. He
was in and out of the court room
throughout the day.
The crowd in the court room to-day
was the smallest of any since the Ar
buckle trial began, owing, it is sup
posed, to the arrival of Marshal Foch
in San Francisco.
Defense counsel said it hoped for a
verdict to-day but the prosecution was
silent. Court officials announced that
the Saturday half holiday and the Sun
day holiday would not result neces-
sarily in a sealed verdict being re-
turned, as the law provides that the
verdict may be returned to the court
and announced at any time.

Industries would be restricted to the
production of raw materials sufficient
to repay Germany for the manufact-

The profits thus realized from Ger
many's exploitation in Russia would be
divided among the members of the
consortium in such way as to insure
the payment of Germany's war repara-

allowed to benefit by a moratorium,
