PLANS OF i. 5.
FOR NAVY CUT
AGREED UPON
Will Propose That Sea Fore.
es Be Limited to Neces-
sary Strength
CAPITAL SHIPS UNIT
Suggested Program Would Give
United States Big Margin Over
Japan.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Thc Ameri-
can proposals for the limitation Of
navy armaments BY the big powers
were completed today and will he
submitted TO the delegates from
Great Britain, Japan, France and
Italy as soon as the international
Conference gets under way.
Under the plan worked out by the
Navy Department and approved by
the American delegation, the great
naval powers are to agree to halt
competitive building Of battle craft
and keep their navies within limits
strictly defined in the agreement,
limits deemed ample for purely de-
fensive purposes.
The capital ship is taken as the
unit Of naval strength in the Amcri-
can plan. Each party to the COM
pact would maintain not more than
the number Of capital ships fixed IL
the agreement, and would construct
no additional capital ships except
TO replace those obsolete vessels ac-
tually scrapped.
Each nation would be permitted to
maintain not more than fixed pro-
portion Of destroyers, submarines
and other subsidiary ships. Limita-
ton OF the number of naval air.
planes is recognized as difficult
problem, because Of the ease OF eva
sion Of an agreement in this partic-
ular. Airplanes constructed IN large
numbers ostensibly for commercial
purposes would be instantly availa-
BILE for war uses.
Under the American plan practi-
cally a parity of the British and
American navies would be estaollsh
ed, with a wide gap between their
and that Of Japan. This
would mean the abandonment OF con-
siderable naval construction already
nroyided for by all three nations.
The American Navy is now nearly
in strength to the British and
would be stronger than the British IN
first class capital ships and gun
mower upon completion of the pres
ent American building program.
The British Government IS known
to be in favor Of an agreement when
would produce parity Of the British
and American navies. -.
There are certain conditions on
which the United States would be
willing to agree not to fortify the
and Guam in return Tor
the pledge of Japan not to fortlty
outlving islands in the Pacific. This
would be deemed Il safe procedure if
tho Anplo-Japanesc alliance were
abropated, for reasons that may be-
come clearer before long.

COCA COLA SUIT
FORMALLY ENDED
Dismissed by Mutual Consent With the
Signing OF Contracts.

ATLANTA, July S.-Litigation between
the Coca Cola company of Delaware and
its two largest bottIing companies was
formally ended here late today with the
signing of contracts dismissing by mu-
tual consent the suit pending in the
United States circuit court.
The companies had been at law over
the price the bottlars were to pay for
the syrup which they buy from the Della
ware corporation and two contracts were
signed ratifying agreements announced
recently. One was between the Coca Cola
company of Delaware and the Coca Cola
bott1ing company, which controls the
bottling Of the drink in the southern ter
ritory and the other between this bottli1g
company and the central corporation,
which controls bottling in the northern
territory.
The terms as announced provide that
the bottlers shall pay s1.64 IL gallon
for syrup as long as it has to be made
from the high priced sugar the parent
concern has on hand. and after that at
s1.1T IL less five cents a gallon for ad-
vertising, making a net price of SLIP 1-2.
Litigation between the companies and
the bottling concerns had no connection
with the recent suit of Asa c. Gambler
Jr., to break up the plan by which three
large stockholders Of the Coca Cola COM
pany Of Delaware vote stock owned by
others Hearing on that petition is set
for August Is in Columbus, Ga, and Mr..
Gambler issued statement today declar-
ing he had no intention OF seeking TO

to put the control OF the company in
the hands Of its stockhoiders.H
