DIR. Walter Won Simmons said that
he could not conceive of any German
government which would not gladly
accept the invitation to discuss the
association plan. las jurist, I ma
turally favor arbitration of interna-
tional matters and arbitration courts.
The consideration of this only means
to remove out danger. and conse-
quently means that Germany's former
attitude at The Hague as crime.
But am opposed to a France which
wants to make the League Of Nations
an administrative tool rather favor
the plan Of President Harding and
Secretary Hughes, who seem to be
planning a gradual development of
the original Hague plan.

That Is the Threat
Fairmont Man Under Arrest
Did Not Want to Be
"Writ Up"

Fairmont, Minn., December L.
w. e. Acox persists In keeping
himself in the limeIIght of the
general public as day after day
new events happen in his metoric
career.
He was arrested, charged with
issuing checks without funds
drawn on a Fox Lake bank to the
order of J. c. Erase, a Ceylon
business man, engaged in the
clothing business.
The check for s15 was issued
November IL and was protested
at the bank.
Before leaving for the Jail, Acox
thought it best to have a last joke
so threatened a newspaper man
that if the reporter write any
more stories about him ne would
call at the office and "waIlop"
him; not "biff" or strike him, but
a good old fashioned ''wallop."
II his success in this line Is as

Acox appeared in court with
his attorney, L. J. Seifert, and

Conference
CLARENCE DUBOISE

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Toxic, Japan, November 3o.-of-
ficials here today stated that the
Japanese government has in
structed Admiral Baron kato at
Washington to stand pat on the
seventy per cent plan of naval
armament regardless of the con-
sequences. 1t is understood here
that Japan will not yield on that
point, even il her refusal would
mean the breaking up OF the arms
limitation conference, according to
the statement of high Japanese
official today to representative
or The United Press.
This, however is probably the
extreme government view. The
Japanese press continues to re-
fleet a spirit of compromise, de-
spite the stand patters' plan for
the seventy per cent ratio for
Japan, and other conditions among
the people seem to point the same
way.
