NORTH MEXICO
POWDER TRAIL

Calexico, Calf, Nov. 15.-(United
Press.)-A carefully planned re-
volt threatened to throw northern
Mexico in open warfare against the
Obregon government today.
Clashes were reported all along
the line between the supporters of
Estaban Cantu, rebel dictator" of
lower California, and federal forces.
American cavalry patrolled the
California border in an effort to
prevent gun running.
The general belief all along the
border was that Cantu is aiming at
a higher plan than the mere un-
seating of Epigmence Ybarna. his
successor to the governorship.
Both parties saw his revolt an at
tempt to align the whole of north
ern Mexico against the Obregon re-
gimS
The boundary line from Sonora
to the Pacific ocean was a trail of
powder, threatening momentarily
to explode from the showering
sparks of clashes along both sides
of the line.

JAPAN TO GIVE

Copyright. 1921. by United Press
Toxic, May 15-Hirohito, crown
prince of Japan, may soon be re-
gent-with practically all the pow
ers of emperor-it was learned on
highest authority here today.
Some think that before the Wash
ington conference is a month or six
weeks old. Hirohito's regency will
have commenced.
EmperOr's Health Cause.
This action. now being consid-
cred in councils of state, will re-
suit from ill health of the emperor
who for more than a year has been
unable to perform any functions OF
his position.
When Hirohito becomes regent
he virtually will be emperor OF
Japan. No one knows how long il
will be thereafter before he will
succeed to the mikadoship.
Condition Grave.
An official bulletin from the i'm
perial household department some
weeks ago announced as grave the
health of the mikadO.
Since then newspapers in JapaI
have been forbidden to discuss the
emperor's health.
1t is known with absolute relia'
bility that councils of the most in
fuential and powerful government
forces are being held for the pur
pose of considering HirOhito as re
gent.

DOMINIONS
SUSPICIOUS
OF BALFOUR
Fear He Doesn't Mean to
eco ALI the Way"
With America.

Washington, Nov. 15.-tUnited
Press. Representative of the
British Dominions followed today
head of the British delegation, with
a spirit akin TO suspicion.
The dominions favor going all
the way with America in declaring
a ten-year naval holiday. They
fear Balfour's reservation as to re-
placements, in which he will eX-
press the opinion that battleship
yards should be kept working to a
limited degree during the proposed
holiday, may be a big blow to this
proposal
To Talk Openly.
They were prepared, in event
Balfour's speech did not meet their
expectations, to tell the confer
ence openly what they stood for.
They feared BalfOur had hearE-
ened to the voice of the Clyde ship
workers with their plea that the
naval holiday would mean thai
250,0O0 to 100000 workers would
be added to the unemployment stu
alton. Hence they suspected thai
the British reservation as to re
placements, spelled some curtail
ment of the Hughes, idea for ter
year naval program. The British
delegation had contended in ad
vance, however, that they merel!
sought some method of assurins
that naval construction worker!
and yards should not get into com
plete disuse so that replacement:
could not be attempted after tht
holiday.
The dominions have been anxiou
about Japan, and wanted continu
ance of the Anglo-Japanesa ALI
ance or the sanctioning of an in
| fnitely large British fleet in tn

Washington. Nov. 15.-America's
naval proposals, as announced by
Secretary Hughes, are predicated
upon the confident assumption that
the Anglo Japanese alliance as well
as all other military combinations
in the far east will be eliminated.
The United States is willing to
reduce the size of its navy but in
sists that the causes of misunder-
standing which make naTies neces-
sary shall be removed.
Emphasis is placed today upon
the words of Mr.. Hughes original
invitation to the powers in which he
says: 1t is quite clear that there
can be no final assurance of the
peace OF the world in the absence of
the desire for peace, and the pros
pect of reduced armaments is not q
hopeful one unless this desire finds
expression in a practical effort to
remove the causes of miSunder-
standing and to seek ground for
agreement as to principles and their
application; it is the earnest wish
of this government that through an
interchange of views with the
facilities afforded by the conference,
it may be possible to find a solution
of Pacific and far eastern prob
lens
HIEseparaSiy Bound"
In other words, the limitation of
armament is inseparably bound in
the settlement of far eastern ques-
tions. This means that before an
agreement can be reached upon the
one, there must be an agreement
on principles at least affecting the

seems likely that the naval propos-
ais will be accepted and, of course,
a reduction in the size OF the navy
of the United States would hardly
be countenanced If there were i'm

The Japanese delegates have
carefully refrained from sayins
that they would accept the Amer i
can proposals upon condition that
a satisfactory agreement is later
reached upon far eastern questions.
This is truly significant for it is
far more advantageous for the Jap
anese to see the United States COM
mitted to a smaller navy at this
time than to have held over them
the lever of large armaments1f they
do not agree to Americas sugges-

Since the United States, however,
is not eager to see anything settled
at this time except the main prin-
Ciples of the naval program. it is
probable that nothing final will be
agreed upon which is actually bind

the far eastern questions have been
