Preliminary Construction
Work Expected to Start
in January.

Work on the construction of the
new water system authorized for the
District by Congress in the current
Army appropriation act will start
probably in January. it was an
nounced today by the War Depart
ment.
Since the passage Of the bill, max
ing 100000 available for preliminary
work, Army engineers. under the di-
rection of Maj. Tyler, District en-
gineer officer. have been engaged in
completing surveys and drawings II
has been decided to commence physi-
cal operations on the Dalecarlia res
ervoir site, which is to be graded and
improved with a new filtration plant
Not until the District budget is sub
mitted with the reconvening Of Con-
get Director Dawes has approved the
Commissioners recommendation that
100000 be appropriated this year
for prosecuting work on the new
water supply system. The project is
to cost $iu,00O.000. and Maj. Tyler
has recommended that it be completed
in three years. if possible, to give
Washington an assured water supply
Army engineers have stressed the
danger of the present obsolete con-
duit from Great Falls breaking un-
der the strains that are being placed
upon it, and it was because of this
danger that Congress recognized the
need of a new conduit as an emerg-
ency measure and provided for ii
through a rider to the Army bill.
Should it develop that the federal
budget officer has sliced the estimate
for speeding the construction of the
new conduit, local organisations
headed by the Board of Trade, will
urge upon Congress to appropriate

ISOLATION CHARGE
AROUSES FRENCH
Curzon's ResentfuIness Over
Turkish Treaty Blamed
for Speech.
By the Associated Press.

PARIS, November 25.-The French
government is deeply aroused over
the warning given to France by Lord
>Curzon, the British secretary for for
.eign affairs, in his address in London
yesterday. and his criticism Of the
French policy at the Washington
armament conference. 1t was ex-
planned in official circles today. how
ever, that France regards A. J. Bal
four as Great Britain's official repre-
sentative at the Washington confer
ence and that his, and not Lord Cur
zon's opinion, would be accepted as
that of the British government.
Lord Curzon had in mind. all the
time he was speaking. the treaty re-
Gently negotiated between France and
the Turkish nationalists. to which
Great Britain has taken exception, ac-
cording to the view in official quar-
ters. and merely used the Washing
ton conference and the French army
as the means of driving home the
resentment which he feels over the
Turkish pact.
Never Sought Isolation.
France. officials pointed out. has
never sought a policy of isolation
from the earliest days of the peace
conference, having urged ar alliance
of the United States. G:eat Britain
and France, so mat France could
safely demobilize her army with the
assurance that an attack by Germany
would bring the two countries to her
aid. Failing this alliance, 1t is
argued, France is forced to maintain
a large army. because the German
menace is a real thing, as Premier
BRAND made clear at Washington.
England, the contention is. has no
menace at her very door. and it is
unfair to say that the French army
should be reduced in the same pro-
portion as Great Britain Is willing
to reduce her fleet.
Socialists to Question BRAND.
Premier BRAND will be interpellated
by socialists and possibly by radical
members of parliament with regard
to the Washington conference as soon
as he returns from America.
The socialists already have given
formal notice that they will ask the
premier to explain the attitude of the
French delegation. Deputy Herriot,
leader of the radicals, has expressed
dissatisfaction with the position of
the French delegation regarding land
armament. but is awaiting the deci-
sion of the party committee before
deciding whether he will interpellate
the premier.
The radicals supported the cabinet
in the debate in the chamber just
before BRAND sailed for the United
States.

JAPANESE FIGURE
NAVAL |NFER|0R|Ty
Demonstrate by Six Methods
Strength Is But 70 Per Cent
of U. S. Sea Force.
BY the Associa ted Press.


Notifications desired by Japan In
the tonnage allotments proposed by
the American delegates in its plar
for naval armament limitation were
understood today to be under discus
sion by the board of admirals Of the
five powers.
The board was described today as
working very hardin fact, night
and day-in order to expedite its
report to the full conference.
The Japanese position as to tonnage
ratio is explained in detail as fol-
lows: --s@t = 5.s.,s7t sss1a
The japanese contend that the
measurement of their existing naval
strength as fixed as the basis for the
American proposals is erroneous. II
points out that there are many meth.
DDS of computing actual naval
strength. After tabulatng the power
of the Japanese feet in six different
ways the experts arrive at the con-
clusion that the japanese navy has a
strength of 70.5, estimating the Ameri-
can Navy as 100 per cent.
japanese Rank g. Per Cent.
The first classification, which in
cludes pre- dreadnaughts, dread
naughts, per-dreadnaughts and
ships under construction, gives a ra-
ito to Japan of 81 per cent. according
to Japanese calculation. They figure
the British ships as numbering Al, with
a total tonnage of 967,S5O tons. This
would make the British ratio 106 per
cent, as compared with the American
100 per cent and the Japanese 67.
The tonnage of the Ckited States
under this compilation is fixed at
913,125, with the ships numbering 4S.
The Japanese ships are placed at 29.
with a total tonnage of G12,23S.
In this estimate all capital ships are
taken into consideration. including
dreadnaughts and the Full. Suwo
Iwami and Hizen, which are nearly
equal to the strength of the Ameri-
can Maine.
The second classification gives Great
Britain Al ships, the United States
IS and Japan II. 1t includes dread
naughts, superdreadnaughts and ships
under construction, but leaves out
the pre-dreadnaughts. The ratio In
this case for Japan is estimated al
81 per cent. Great Britain's tonnage
is estimated at 967.850. the United
States. 717.385 and Japan at 440,6S2
England Has Great Lead.
A third classification, which is
based ON the idea that from tech
nical point of view naval strength
should be compared by taking super
dreadnaughts and subsequent ships,
fixes Japan's ratio at 70 and Great
Britain's at 1872 per cent. British
ships fall to % in number under this
compilation, American to q and
Japanese to IA. The comparative
tonnage falls to, Great Britain, 723,-
$50; American, 549.7S5, and Japanese,
3S0,742.
Under the fourth system Of compila-
ton predreadnaughtss dreadnaughts
and superdreadnaughts are counted:
This gives Great Britain a ratio of
133 per cent and Japan 73 per cent,
always estimating the American feet
based on dreadnaghts and super
dreadnaughts, gives Great Britain Al

TARIFF GRIND IN CONGRESS

Although February 1 has been
fixed as the date to which the emer-
gency tariff expiring November q
will be extended, no one seems to be-
lieve that Congress will complete the
enactment of permanent tariff leg
islation by that date. The date,
February 1, was selected admittedly
with a view to speeding up the
progress of the permanent bill. When
that date arrives Congress undoubt-
eddy will pass bill again extending
the time of the emergency tariff.
AS matters now stand, the perman-
ent tariff bill is not likely to reach
the statute books before March or
April, or possibly May or June. I'm
doubtedly it will be enacted into law
at some time during the coming re-
gular session of Congress. The
leaders have made tentative plans
to end the session not later than
June i.
The radical departure determined
upon in the American valuation plan
which contemplates abandonment Of
the policy of assessing import duties
on the foreign invoice value, follow
ed by the United States practically
all the time for more than CEN
fury, has been the primary cause of
the slow progress made in revising
the tariff law. Contributing fac
tors have been, of course, the diff
Guilty of determining rates of duty
satisfactorily, in view of chaotic
world conditions, and also the fact
that the Ways and Means Committee
in the House and Finance Committee
in the Senate, which have charge of
tariff legislation, also have beer en-
gagged in revision of tax laws.
