Bradford) Japan has decided to re-
strain partly from her insistent stand
that she be allowed an increase OF
10 per cent in capital ship tonnage,
under the American program for linn
itation of naval armament. This was
learned after the naval armament
committee of the arms conference met

London, Nov. ga further step
in naval retrenchment, in accord with
the movement for limitation of ar
mament, is planned by the British
government, it was learned today.
Sweeping reductions in the personnel
of the royal navy will cause the de-
motion Of 60 captains and 240 Scon1-
manders. Most Of those denoted were
promoted during the war. The North
cliffe papers are demanding the abro
cation of the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
Washington, Nov. 23.--Out of the
arms conference may come proposals
that the nations unite to minimize
the horrors Of war if they can't en-
tirely prevent it. The American ad-
.visory committee, appointed by Pres
.ident Harding, was today, at work OF,
various suggestions that may bring
this question before the conference.
Abolition of submarines or limita-
ton Of those used we're among the
questions taken up. ~ : 5.IlS
i The suggestion has been made I'M
officially and informally that at the
conclusion of it's program, the arms
conference will consider revision of
the rules of war, so that if conflicts
occur, they will be less horrible. .. (:

A FEW THOUGHTS
FOR THE HUNTERS

Today sees the opening OF the hunt
ing season. and from all reports game
abounds all through the forested sec
tions of the State The past summer
seems to have been especially favor
able for the development of broods of
young quail.
Good sport is promised for all de-
votees of the gun. To the true sports
man however. there are certain obli
cations that go with the sport. Of
prime significance is the necessity Of
care with fire in the woods. 4 little
camp fire left unextinguished. a care
less match or cigarette butt thrown
among dry leaves may start a forest
fire that will sweep over vast areas
and besides doing great damage to the
young timber, will kill the very game
that the forest shelters.
There are six lookout towers, six
teen forest patrolmen, and over two
hundred forest wardens in Maryland,
all working together to protect Mary
lands forests from fire.
Let every hunter as he takes out his
license. solmenly pledge himself TO
help make Maryland's forests safe
from fire
