SITUATION IS
MADE DELICATE
BY Japan's Proposal Of In
creased Naval
Strength
ABOVE THE LIMIT
IN AMERICAN PLAN
Affairs Have Not Reached
Hopeless Stage, Say
Americans

Washington, d. c., Dec. tBy the
Associated Press THE situation re-
sulting from Japan's formal proposal
that the so per cent naval ratio al
lotted her under the American limita-
ton plan be increased to 10 per cent
as necessary to national security was
regarded by American officials to-day
as a delicate one but not without hope
that her spokesmen ultimately would
accept the original plan. The question
IL entirely removed from the stage OF
technical discussion as to the basis OF
calculating the naval ratios on present
fleet, strength and q matter Of policy
for settlement by the plenary dele
gates Of the powers and not by their
technical advisers.
Regarding the argument Of national
security, the American delegates and
the experts, backed by the opinion OF
the British delegates, hold that its log
ieal application would mean a reduc-
tion rather than an increase in the
naval ratio proposed for Japan. With
the subcommittee Of experts Of the
big Three naval powers in formal
disagreement on adjourning yesterday
as to the basis to be used for these
comparisons, it was considered to-day
that further progress could lie only in
discussion between the American and
Japanese delegates.
-
Washington, d. c., Dec. 1.-The Chi
nese arms conference delegations In di-
rect negotiation on the Shantung ques-
tion, inaugurated to-day, will, accord
ing to Chinese spokesmen, proceed on
che basis that there are only two
points on which China is prepared to
negotiate and that these are Japan's
demand that Tsing.Tao be declared an
open port and Japan's demand that
vested interest be respected. The latter
would be only partially susceptible to
negotiation.

iff who was charged with collect
ing fines from tourists who drove

pretenses. His commission was
revoked Friday when he was
placed under arrest.

uty at the request of officials of
the Lee Moor Construction COM
pany, which has the contract for
the road construction north of the
city. He was placed on guard
duty to prevent travellers from driv-
ing on the road.
John Graft of Rushville. ILL.,, was
stopped last week by Clements,
who was at this end OF the con-
struction work. and fined SIS for
each of his two cars. He reported
the assumption of authority to the
Chamber Of Commerce, which took
the matter up with the sheriff's
office with the result that the tour
list got his money back and Glenn
ents was placed under arrest. 1t
was claimed by Clements that
Graft was the only person he had
fined" and that he had given the
$40 to the justice of the peace at
Alameda. The justice denied re-
oo;,,i,,o, Tho ,,oopau ond eava,.aI nov
