Baron Takahashf, Premier of Japan,
IN a cable received in New York yes
terday. said that he rejoiced that he
was able to say that Mr.. Hughes's
proposals were being taken in Japan
to be an unmistakable sign of the sim
eerity of the American governments
desire to spare humanity the throes
and agonies arising from an intoler-
able burden of expenditure on arma-
lnent.'

''in finding that Our delegates to the
Washington conference. fully realizing
where the true interests of this coun-
try lie. are endeavoring, in comfy
with the delegates of the other powers,
to shape a definite and workable plan
Of naval disarmament on the basis OF
Mr.. Hughes's proposals"
The cable was reply to one sent to
the Premier by the Japan Society, in
which the society expressed the hope
that the proposals for limitation of
naval armament made by Secretary
Hughes would meet with the approval
of the Japanese government.

Three small boys, two eight years

The two younger children, Dominic
and Patrick Fanelli, of 315 East 146th
Street, the Bronx, had stuffed their
jumpers with bottles of hair tonic and
altar of roses, while Antoine Dionisio,
the elder of the trio. had made q COL
lection of shaving brushes. The young
burglars were caught at work by the
detectives after Mrs. Gayda heard a
noise in the cellar and telephoned the
police. The boys told Detective Sui
livan they took the hair tonic because
1t had "a kind of kick"
The fatherof the Fanelli youngsters
later called at the police station and
said he had been at his wts' end for
more than month because he could

no objections. In fact, they expect
such an arrangement. But there is
little doubt that France would be
painfully impressed if the suggestion
should regularly be made that Germany
be included in the present conference.
Consent of Others Necessary
One of the certain results of such a
move, some Of the French advisers say,
would be an effort on the part of Ger
many to wriggle out of her obligations
there would be no limit to the number
of troublesome questions OF strictly
Continental character that would bob
up to interfere with the success of the
purposes for which the conference was
called.
The French were quick to point out
that it would be impossible to include
the Germans in the present confer
ence without the unanimous consent
of the other powers which are partlci-
pating.
Italy is expected to be sympa thetic
with the French point of view on this
matter, although one Italian spokes-
! man said this afternoon that the ques-
tion of German participation was a
matter that called for careful consid.
Grafton by Italy. This same Italian
was at great pains to deny published
reports that Senator Schanzer hnd en-
gagged in a heated debate with M
! BRAND at the last conference meeting
attended by the Premier of France.
"There was no harsh debate" said
this spokesman. Nothing of the kind
BRAND gave the French point of view
with regard to land armament. Sen
ator Schanzer gave the Italian point of
view. They differed about certain
things but both are animated only by
the most cordial feelings toward each
other and toward the nation each rep
resents.

We are. afraid of nobody. France
which has the largest army on the Con.

larger than we think she needs that is
not necessarily subject for recrim-

Japan's Claims Opposed
BY u. S. Naral Experts

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 (By The As
sociated Press ).-Despite supplemental
estimates to support Japanese claims
for higher naval tonnage ratio than
proposed in Secretary Hughes's naval
limitation plan, American naval ex-
perts, it was asserted to-day on au-
thority, find no reason to revise their
original estimate of the relative naval
strength of the three powers.
That estimate, so far as Japan is
concerned, is reflected in the "five-five
three ratio" proposed by the United
States, while Japan is understood to
claim that the ratio should approxi-
mate -ten-seven.
Details of the Japanese naval argu-
ment have been turned over to the
naval experts of the FIVE powers con-
sidering such questions. The naval
men will not get together again in gen
eral conference, however, until next

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-Slang, if more

of the American delegates, are enthusi-
astic advocates Of his plan.
Would Consider World Problems
The Presidents idea is that che
present conference, apparently suc-
cecding admirably. in strengthening out
controversies and agreeing upon limita-
tions OF naval armament, should be
emulated by succeeding sessions, held
from year to yesr, and that gradually
problem after problem which is dis
turbing the peace OF the world. or may
threaten to do so, will be brought
within the scope of the association Of
nations.
The whole Harding idea is to do the
thing practically, tilt at no impossible
windmills, and wait for the opportune
moment at which the solution of any
given problem may be auspicious.
For example, there is no thought
IN his mind at the moment of inviting
Russia. His reason is that Russia 's
still in chaotic state. He would Ike
10 see this menace to the peace OF
the worldas many view it-removed,
particularly on account of the French
fears; and because if this menace, In
addition to the German, could be re-
moved, France might then consent to
4 worldwide agreement on the reduc'
ton of land ornaments. -
But the time is not opportune, in
the Administration view so far as
Russia is concerned. though this prob
lem may readily be dealt with at n
meeting of the conference to be held
next year, or perhaps at a session 8
year or two later.
Progress on Chinese Program
Meanwhile. the present conference
IS going ahead with the Chinese prob
lem. and is developing. one by one. the
means of giving that country bet
ter chance to build up strong cen
trail government. For example, the
question OF having the other nations
withdraw the posta. systems which
they are now operating inside Of
China has now been taken up. This
follows the opening of discussion on
the question of permitting China 90
try foreigners in her own courts and
by her own laws--that is, the with
drawal of the eXtraterritorial rights
which many powers have enjoyed in
China. 1t also follows the virtual
agreement to permit China to increase
her tariff duties. which had been fixed
by treaties, and the discussion looking
10 granting her eventually the right
80 fix them according to her own ideas
without lin itations imposed by the
powers.

tinued
II hope to live sufficiently long to

fifteen months. l owe this country one

for during the hours | have spent on

for my country. When President Har-

he said to me with an emotion that /
shall never forget: 1T is the first time
that Premier of France crossed the
ocean and entered this house. I re-
piled: But you have done better than
that; you sent us two million Pre-
miers to fight on our soil.' All the
sentiment America has she concen-
trates it on France, unstintingly, with
out mental reservation. who have
come so far have found nothing that
has touched me more"
"Others,' | interrupted, await you
over there in France who are less
idealistic, who care more for the ma
terial side of things. They will ques-
tion you in the hope that you will give
the wrong answer What will you say
to them?"

"The truth" replied M. BRAND "I
shall tell them that I did not come
here to bring back treaty which the
American people. absolutely within it's
rights, refuses to sign, but that | came
for a verdict. l wanted, once and for

gave us~-and with what fervor and
enthusiasm IA vote of confidence
This vote of confidence forever silences
our detractors. 1t will make Germany
think; it will allow France to work
behind the defensive bulwark of her

on the friendship of peoples who fought
together in wartime No vote of CON

driving wheels, the rear wheels. give the impetus to the whole vehicle. In Hitchkiss drive this pushing func- ton is also shouldered by the springs.
 Obviously with the springs being called upon to perform so many and such diverse functions they will need to be especially designed for the work
 The usual practice is to employ main leaf of particularly sturdy di- mansions and material, as nearly all of the work upon this keystone of the spring arch. Again, it is very inn portant that a satisfactory metkad of anchoring the spring to the axle is employed. Our engineers have spent many thoughtful hours in the design of the seemingly minor spring perches and spring clips. These parts
 demand the employment )f the best
 grades of alloy steel, carefully hand-
 led in the processes of manufacture.
 Castellited nuts are generally used on
 the clips, the nuts being firmly se-
 cured by means of cotter pins. As a
 general thing two clips are found suf- ficient to distribute the torquo or twist to the spring as whole. reliev- ing the central leaf of some of the
 burden.
 Right here let US emphasize the need for the car owner inspecting the springs from time to time and seeing that the clips are kept snugly in place. If the clips are allowed to become i loose, relaxing the pressure on the spring, the driving force may very easily produce so much of Q strain That the part will be broken.
 When the car owner understands
 just how important part the springs play he may be tempted to give them more care than he usually seems to bestow upon them. Not only should the shackle bolts be systematically fabricated but the spring leaves
 should be pried apart once or twice a
 season anyway and be given a tho~- ough coating of graphite. The aver
 age spring suspension is adequate to the car it carries, but it is not ade- | quate to abuse. It must have a req
 sonable amount of attention or it will | fall, with consequent inconvenience and expense to the car owner, this inn 1 portant item of fabrication until l trouble in the unit makes the need
 evident. In cars of this kind where na provision has been made for lubri- | cation by having a grease cup that
 extends up through the floor boards, | it will be wise to install an oil line
 to feed this part.

IX-WHEEL TRUCK MAKES \ RECORD
 COAST TO COAST

A new record for cqast-to-c coast trip by motor truck has just been es- tahlished by the big Goodyear six wheel truck which has just com rleted the journey from Los Angeles fo New York city in F days and 14 hours with an actual running time of days. Is hours and 23 minutes, according to Paul Bennett, who has sast received the dope"
 The best previous record was that made by the Goodyear Transconti- nental truck in July. 1920, when it crossed the continent in 13 days, 13 hours and IS minutes.
 IL was only about three weeks ago that the Goodyear six-wheeler made the trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles in time faster than the linn fled railroad trains negotiate the distance
 The truck left Akron at 9:00 a. m on September and arrived in Los Angeles at 6:2O D. m. September 25, a total of Is days, g hours and 5 minutes elapsed time, while the ac- tual running time on the trip west RaS days and 14 hours.
 After spending about a week visit Ing various coast cities the truck left Los Angeles at a. m. October 13 on
  the Rubber city on October A at z a. min exactly II days. This re- turn trip clipped 19 hours off the tine made on the trip out and re- duced the 1920 time of the standard four wheel truck by 12S hours. Such good time has been made over the 2sSe-mile journey that the Goodyear officials decided to send the truck on 10 New York in order to try for a new transcontinental record.
 The whole trip of the big six wheeler was a significant demonstra- ton of the tremendous possibilities ahead for the motor truck in helping solve the nations transportation problems as well as for the part that >ig pneumatics play in this work.
 The truck was designed by Good rear engineers as a part of their pio- Heer work in meeting America s Transportation problems. The call of industry has been for larger and larger trucks-and so it has been necessary to build truck tires of

HOW AND WHY OF
 HOTCHK|SS DRIVE

One of the mechanical features of the modern motor car of which the average car owner knows little or nothing is the so- called Hotchkiss drive. Most drivers not skilled in the intricates of their vehicles mechan- ism probably assume that Hotchkiss drive is some new sort of beyel or the latest innovation in axles. These guileless souls may be glad to learn little something more definite in re- gard to this really important innova- tion in modern design.
 To begin with, they should know that Hitchkiss drive is not a definite part of the mechanism. Rather it is a method of eliminating certain parts of the running gear that had always been considered essential. By mak- ing the springs do double, work, strengthening them for that purpose, it is possible to eliminate a number of motor parts, thereby simplifying the design, and end that is greatly to be desired and is being striven for by the best engineering talent in the world today.
 Hitchkiss drive is not strictly speak ing new development, for way back in 1902, which is an ancient date foI motoring, this method of design was
