NATIONS ACCEPT
NAVY REDUCTION
JAPAN AND GREAT BRITAIN SIGN
HUGHES PROPOSAL FOR
$50 RATIO.
ONLY SLIGHT CHANGES MADE
Permit Japan to Retain Mitsu and
Relative Strength Of Others
Raised on Same Basis.

Washington-The United States.
Great Britain and Japan have agreed
to what Secretary Hughes and other
delegates regard as the greatest step
since the armistice, toward maintain
ing the peace of the world.
Dependent upon suitable agreement
with France and Italy, the big Three"
have entered into the following agr ee-
ment:
To maintain relative strength Of
5-5-3 in their capital of fighting ships
over period OF ten years.
To allow Japan, under this agree
ment 10 capital ships, totaling $4,000
tons; Great Britain, 20 capital ships
totaling $4,000 tons, and the United
States, Is capital ships totaling $685.
$50 tons.
To limit the tonnage of replacement
vessels to $4,000 tons.
Adoption Of the four-power treaty
by which the United States, Great
Britain, japan and France pledged
themselves to peace in the Pacific,
each respecting the others posses
sions there.
There are important variations
from the original proposal represent
ing compromises with japan, in the
document read by Mr.. Hughes.
Japan retains the Mutsu, her super
dreadnaught, and surrenders the Set
su, an older battleship.
The United States will finish the
Colorado and Washington, post-Jut-
land battleships, now 80 per cent on
the way to commissioning, and scrap
the North Dakota and Delaware.
Great Britain will build two post
Jutland fighting monsters and give up
four older ships of the line, the King
George v, Ajax, Centurion and Arion.
Having definitely achieved the great
purposes for which 1t was called, the
Washington conference is now virtual
ly over.
Crowned with a measure of success
which few even dared hope for, 1t Is
about to pass into history as an
epochal event, the benefits and far
reaching results of which are now but
dimly comprehended.

~ HE INSTITUTION of the festival
VI of the birth of the Savior is
attributed by some authorities

~HE INSTITUTION Of the festival
VI of the birth of the Savior is
attributed by some authorities
to Pope Telesphorus, who died A. ID.
1873.
In the early days of the Christian
religion 1t was one of the most NOV
able of feasts, being often con-
founded with the Epiphany and cele-
brated by the eastern churches In
April and May. In the Fourth century
the urgency of st. Cyril of Jerusalem
obtained from Pope Julius ]. an
order for an investigation to be
made concerning the day Of Christ's
nativity. The result of the inquiry,
made by theologlans Of the East and
the West, was an agreement upon the
twenty-fifth OF December.
As told In the gospel of st. Luke,
Christ was born in the night. There
fore, divine service is performed on
the night Of December 24-25. II Is
the custom In Roman Catholic
churches to usher In Christmas day
by the celebration Of three masses,
one at midnight, the second at early
dawn, and the third In the morning.
This custom dates from the sixth
century.
