WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 15- It became known at the opening of the Armament conference in this city last week that the American members and delegates to the con ference had had under duscussion in advance, suggestions as to ways and means for the curtailment of armament expenditures, without the sacrifice of national security; and, as a result of this preliminary dis cussion, Secretary Hughes and his colleagues have prepared definite formula which is understood to be entirely practicable in that it does not attempt to fix q common de- nomination by which all navies will be divided.
 The American suggestion will deal with things as the are, and will be a plain proposition of ships built or authorized, existing and project ed naval bases and the vital ele- ment of naval replacements.
 Arthur J. Balfour, who is acting as head of the British delegation, pending the arrival of Premier Lloyd George, attended the formal open ing of the conference, together with the delegations from New Zealand and Australia. On Balfour's nomin- ation, Secretary of State Hughes was elected chairman of the con ference
 At the very opening of the con- ference Chairman Hughes presented Americas proposal which, briefly, is as follows:
 The creation of a naval holiday in which all naval building pro- grams are to be abandoned and old CT ships in the present navies of the powers concerned be scrapped. Also, for general principles in car rying out the proposed holiday, G) That all capital ships included in building programs, either actual or projected, be abandoned; (2) That a further reduction be made thru scrapping old ships; (3) That, in general, regard should be had for the existing strength of the powers concerned; (4) That tonnage of cap ital ships should be used as stand ard of measurement of the strength for navies and a proportionate al- lowance prescribed for auxiliary combat vessel ~=... % :.~ .= ...=:.

KANTIsHNA PROSPECTOR HAS
 BATTLE WITH BROWN BEAR

Henry Knight, proprietor of the Knight roadhouse, on the Toklat, pulled into town yesterday after noon with Sam Fedderson as passen- ger. The latter was nursing badly lacerated arm and several other minor injuries, the result of an en- counter with a large female brown bear, on Monday of last week, in the Chitsia Mountain region, and within a few miles of Fedderson's cabin on Hot Creek.
 Fedderson, whose injuries were given first aid treatment at the road house, went to the hospital immed- lately after his arrival in town and had his wounds properly attended and dressed by Harry Abercrombie. He expects to remain here several weeks, by which time, it is thought, his wounds will have healed suffi- ciently to permit of a resumption of prospecting.
 
 for moose in the neighborhood of Fededrson's cabin on November $, ran on to a large female brown bear, squatting outside of her den, He at first mistook the animal for a moose and approached closer, opening fire rapidly as soon as he discovered his error.
 At the third shot the bear re- treated into the cave and, as it was getting dark and too dangerous to try to rout the bear out, Knight made for Fedderson's cabin.
 Next morning both men went after the bear and, on reaching the cave, discovered a well-defned and bloddy trail leading out from the cave, to the heavy timber beyond. The men, who were on snowshoes, took up the trail, following it for about five miles, Fedderson being from ten to fifteen paces ahead of his companion. Suddenly, in the heavy timber, the bear loomed up at close range, making straight for the man in the lead. Shouting a warning to Knight, who could not see the bear from his position in the rear, Fedderson prepared to meet the onslaught but, ere he had taken off his mitt to use his rife, the bear had knocked him down, sending his rife flying out of his hand into the snow The bear was on top of Fedderson and had grab bed his forearm when Knight, com ing up, sent a well-directed bullet into a vital spot, following it up rapidly with another which finished the animal.
 Knights first shot had almost put the bear out of commission, otherwise it might have gone hard with Fedderson, to say the least
 Fedderson's injuries consist of , badly lacerated right forearm, a gash across the scalp above his fore head, and several minor bruises and lacerations. He is a guest at the Rust House while in town.
