POLICE CHASE RAINBOW
IN NEW SMALL CLEW.

Toronto, - Toronto police are still
searching for the bodyof Ambrose j,
Small, the i-millionaire theatrical
king, who has been missing since De-
cember 3, 1919. Long since the police
gave up hope that he is alive, as the
world has been combed in an effort to
locate him.
This weekAlexander Anderson, of 96
Church street, who is brother-in-law
of John Doughty, former private sec
rotary to Small, and now serving a

came to the police and claimed to have
received tip that Small's body was
buried in a lonely spot in High Park
a suburb Of Toronto.
The detectives have been deluged
with fake clews since Small disappear
ed and they are very chary about act
ing on any of them, but coming from
Doughty's brother-in-law, it was de-
cided to take chance on the tip. Ac-
cordingly a squad of officers motored
to the scene and for hours dug up the
ground, but no trace of the body was
found.

LONDON PRESS STRONG
. FOR HUGHES PROGRAM
Nothing Must Prevent Its Full
Ratification by Powers.
Says Telegraph.

BY Associated Press to Every Evening.
London, Nov. t7.-Nothing must
stand in the way OF ratification of the
American proposals for limitation OF
the Navies of the United States. Great
Britain and Japan, declares the Daily
Telegraph this morning in an editorial
on the Washington conference. The
newspaper welcomes the reported de-
cision that no understanding will be
finally approved until the naval statu.
lof France and Italy is settled. pro
viding this does not menace the agree
ment between the major navies, for
nothing must intervene TO prevent
sealing of the great compact Secretary
Hughes has outlined"
The Daily Telegraph also is con-
WINGED that the world would approve
the abolition of submarines. but doubts
whether this is practicable, and
further thinks the conference cannot
ignore the wishes Of countries with
small navies regarding l..dersea craft
The Times says il is very encourag-
ing to hear authoritative japanese
voices in Washington suggest that
Japan may withdraw from Shantung
If England does likewise in Wei-Hai-
Wei. The newspaper thinks the con-
ference thus far has done extraordin-
arily well particularly in revealing how
deep and intimate is the agreement
between the United States and Great
Britain on the larger principles which
dominate both.
The Morning Post declares that the
suggested modification OF the details
of the. American proposals does not
cast the slightest reflection on the
generosity or candor of those pro-
posals. 1t supports. as obviously
sensible ana businesslilSe. Mr.. Balfour's
suggestion that the replacement OF
warships be gradual and continuous
instead of abruptly periodical. and
while approving his proposal further
to restrict the use Of submarines
doubts whether it would BE- observed
in practice
A plan TO meet the submarine dif
iiculty by extending the limit ON
territorial waters and proclaiming the
waters outside an international Sea is
presented by the Daily Chronicle
Under this plan the powers would on.
gage themselves to treat the use OF
submarines against merchant shin,

war against themselves. The news.
