advisory council at Toxic are taking
a hand in the negotiations at Washing
ton over the tonnage ratio of capital
warships to be allotted Japan. Admiral
Baron Kato, the senior japanese dele
gate has laid the entire situation
growing out of the discussion by the
committee of experts before his own
government. 1t is understood that Adj
miral kato received from Toxic today
very explicit instructions as to lis pro-
ceedurc.
1t is pointed out that while the jap
ancse have made it known publicly
that they believe they are entitled to
ratio of 20 per cent, there is no
available evidence that 50 far as the
conference is concerned Japan has for
mally laid claim to the 20 per cent.
ratio. Admiral kato's statement to
the press was that Japan bellies ed that
she was entitled to a slight Increase
in tonnage ratio of capital ships. Since
then the matter has been in tho hands
of the committee. which is expected 10
meet again tomorrow.
The report was in circulation today
that Japan. failing to have her own
standard of measurement accepted.
would be quite disposed to accept the
1913" arrangement This impression
seemed to be growing among Japan
csc who follow closely the work of
their delegation. They were of the
opinion that Japan would not by over
insistonce so 50 far as to endanger the
success of a general naval agreement.
Meantime, whatever may be the
eventual decision of the conference as
to ratio, it seems clear from dispatches
received from TOXIC that the pros
poets of cessation of warShip building
in Japan is causing serious dispute
tude in labor circles and is giving the
government some anxiety as t. how 20

of men who will lose this mcans of

Washington, Nov. 27.-(By "A. P.)
With the question Of land arma-
ments definitely thrust into the
background by the developments of
the last week, the conference on linn
itation of ornaments will enter it's
third week tomorrow with another
stride toward agreement on naval
limitations foreshadowed.
The naval question, at least so far
as its most vital element, the
"5-5-3 ratio" of fleet strength be-
tween Great Britain, the United
States and Japan is concerned, is ap-
preaching the point of transfer back
to the big five committee with the
report of the naval experts on the
facts involved. There is some ex-
pectation that a plenary session of
the conference itself will be called
during the week to reach first deci-
sions on the naval limitation plan.
Whether the experts of the three
major naval powers will submit in
dividual reports is not known. There
is nothing to indicate whether they
are agreed as to the facts and fig
ures they have been studying. :

Arms Delegates
Fighting Shy of
Shantung Question

Washington, Nov. c7--(By A. P.)-~
Will the celebrated Shantung Ques-
ton which has so stirred public opin-
ion in. both the Occident and the
Orient find it's way into the Wash
ington conference? s.,
This Question occupies a promi-
nent place in tho thought and talk
of the delegates. though open refer
enccs TO it arc most guarded. In
some quarters a desire is shown to
avoid it if possible on the ground
that the subject is liable to revive
old controversies and interrupt the
hitherto harmonious trend of the
conference.
The Chinese view is that the Shan
tung question occupies an important
place on the program which they
have drawn up for submission to the
conference. The japanese standpoint
is that it is quite unnecessary to dis
cuss the Shantung matter because
Japan stands ready to open direct
negotiations with China for the'
restoration Of the leased territory OF
kiauchau in Shantung. and the with
drawal of troops along the railroad
on conulllOH WHICH japan SoHSiu1io
rcasona BILE.
The Chinese opinion on this as ex-
pressed here is that public opinion in
China is clamoring for some settle-
ment at the conference Of the Shan
tung controversy.
Members of the Chinese delegation
say that the Chinese people do not
want either the Shantung question or
that of the 1915 treaty settled in
either Picking or Toxic. The Chinese
according to memgers Of the delega-
ton here, would mistrust any such
settlement, and believe that only
through an agreement reached with
the knowledge and the participation
of the world powers would perma-
. nent, equitable solution be found.
The Washington conference affords
such an opportunity. as this. accord
! ing to Wellington Koo. member OF
the Chinese delegation. WHO said
that China will press before the con-
ference for the unfettered return OF
Shantung and abrogation of the Il
demands.

the first assistant Postmaster General

ago this mill was purchased by the
American Wooden Company, and for
a number of years Mr.. Elliott still
held the position of paymaster and
during these years the magnitude of
the service of this position greatly
increased Soon after Mr.. Willard
H. Cummings came to Skowhegan as
superintendent of the American
Wooden Company's mills here, Mr..
Elliott was made superintendent of
mill No. which position he has since
held. During the years which Mr..
Elliott has been so prominently iden-
titled with so large and an important
industry in town. he has exhibited
his business ability and proven his
faithfulness to an important trust,
these years Of service have we'll
equipped Mr.. Elliott for this posi-
ton Of Importance and trust to which
he has just been appointed. Mr.. Ell

interest and pleasure of his appoint
ment.

cember Mr.. Elliott was married to
