Lord Robert Cecil
Opposes Plan For

Declares 1t Would Be Mad
ness to Switch Support
To New Association

LONDON, Nov. 2S. - Abiding in a
speech at Letchworth tonight to the
suggestion that the Washington con-
ference might develop into a close
association of nations in the future,
Lcrd Dobert Cecil said the league OF
nations was actually in working or
Ger, and that lit would be worse
than madness to abandon it for the
hope of putting anything in its place
unless we know exactly what 1t is.
He thought it would have been bet

ments until Europe recorded its in
dustrial property, anu added:
Everybody should cease looking al
these questions with the war mind
but in fact, | see little sign OF any
new way of approaching any or oul

KATO DECLARES
JAPAN CANNOT
ACCEPT RATIO
j. 8. PROPOSED
Arms Conference Approaches
Its First Great Decision as
Nippon Opposes Hughes
AMERICA DETERMINED
Uncle Sans Delegates Stand
Firm on Claim That 5-5-3
Estimates Reasonable

WASHINGTON, Nov. %. (By the
Associated Press.) - The arms con-
ference is approaching its first great
decision.
1t was announced tonight by Vice
Admiral Kato. chief japanese naval
expert, that Japanese seek a 20 per
cent naval ratio. 1t also was an
ncunced with equal authority that
the American delegation stood firm
ly on Secretary Hughes "5-5-3- ratio
proposal, which means 90 per cent
status for Japan. The conference ul-
timately must reconcile these two
views, or accept one or the other To
reach an agreement.
Vice Admiral Kato said the 20 per
cent ratio was the minimum neces-
sary for japanese security.
The American view is that the 20
per cent ratio is the maximum naval
strength that could be accepted in
view of the American liabilities N
the Pacific.
/ Tomorrow, naval experts of the five
| powers will meet. They have con-
cluGed their intergroup discussion OF
the American plan, so far as its ma
! jcr factors are concerned. Develop
! nnents today and tonight indicated
| that they would return the matter to
the conference delegates without rec
concentrations for important nudiiica
! tions.
Both Sides Determines
b, The American experts are is
! fled that the original estimatD, Of
naval strength were correct. Pre-
/ hA n,.itf IN
accord with the American view in
many respects. The French and TIA
Ian attitude has not been formally
| disclosed.
J Yet there was some indication that
action by the committee or experts
to sustain the American estimate OF
naval facts and figures was expect
ed Whether Japanese experts would
submit minority reports was not
! known.
In any event, it seems that the
scene of action will be transferred
this week to the committee room.
Presumably the Japanese group is pre-
partd to continue it's argument there
Tor "l0-1O-7" fleet ratio instead of
the American ''5-5-3' proposal. To
what extent Japanese insistence may
be carried in committee ur -sSer oe-
fore the conference is still to be dis

Arbuckle of any responsibility for
Miss Rappe's injury.

that Arbuckle would testify drew q

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET

Chicago. Sept. 30.-Predictions of en- larged receipts in the northwest next week had a good deal to do with mak- ing wheat prices decline today. The market closed heavy at 1.54 to 3-4 net lower with December 1.20 1-2 to 1.20 3-4 and May L25 1-2 to 1.25 S-4. Corn lost 3-S to 1 1-2 and oats 1-4 to 3-4 cents. In provisions the outcome va ried from IS cents decline to 10 cents advance.
 It was said that consignment notices Of wheat due to arrive at Northwestern terminals were of greater volume than for any previous time this season. From this circumstance, bears drew the infer once that spring wheat farmers were showing a disposition to market their surplus without delay, notwithstanding government finances available to carry the grain if so desired. Furthermore, bears contended that from poor foreign demand and from reported offers of re- sale it would seem the heavy exports of United States wheat during July and August were acting at present as a boomerang on prices. The market scored rally after midday on account of cov- ering by shorts, but when demand from this source had been satisfied. yalues weakened again, and closed near the bottom level of the session.
 Corn and oats, like wheat. were with out any aggressive support. Septen- Der delivery of corn fell to the lowest prio> in 18 years.
 Higher quotations on hoEs rave -ope firmness to provisions.

YANKEES DID NOT CLINCH
 TENANT BY BEING IDLE

Chicago, Sept 20 - The New York Yankees did not clinch the American league pennant by being idle today. ac- cordiag to William Harridge. secretary to President Ban Johnson of the Ameri- can league. although loss by the Yankees of their two remaining regularly schedul- ed contests would ffnc them still in first place even if Cleveland won all or it's games.
 The anomalous situation is covere- by an American league rule which the Yan- kees win have to play today's postponed contest with Philadelphia tomorrow, transferring the game to New York where they already are scheduled to play one contest with the Athletics, according to Mir Harridge.
 The rule is that if the two teams postponing a game meet again in a reg ularly scheduled game before the end oi the season, the postponed contes- must be played In that series" said Mr. liar.

 The LenoX Eleven have an excillent reputation and strong team, averag- ing 190 pounds in the line with a to- tai average for the team of IFS pounds Manager Leopold is confident that they will score on the sailors who have not been scored on this season.
 The Submarine Flotilla team have had a hard week of drill and practice and will undoubtedly make the visit ing eleven extend themselves to win not to say to score on the Tars.
 Quite few Norwich people attend ed the game last Saturday at the Base and the Base has arranged for boats to meet the Norwich cars at Richard s Grove to bring visitors to the game.
