Approximately I.541.oie gallons OF

Pueblo between IL o'clock yesterday
morning and s o'clock last night. At 6
o'clock the weather man was tired out
from counting and locked up his office
and went home to supper. IT Is certain
that much more fell last night. To ar
rive ut the figure just multiply the
area Of Pueblo, III miles by tho fiE-
ure that will give you the number OF
square ,uches OF land in the city and
then multiply It by 20 which Is tho
number of inches OF melted snow the
weather man says fell between IL
O'Clock yesterday morning and 8
O'Clock and then divide 1t by 2sI. the
number OF cubic inches to a gallon OF

All OF the foregoing serves TO prove
that there was a severe snow storm IN
Pueblo and vicinity yesterday. II was

POLITICS HOLDS
JAP AN TO FIGHT
FOR 1917 RATIO
Laborers Might Throw
Out Ministry if Mutsu
Is Scrapped
BY Mark Sullivan.

Washington. ID. c., Dec. ALI the
talk about japan not accepting the
ratio OF ships laid down by Mr.. Hughes
probably has had less to do with the
armament conference than with poll
tics in japan. For many years ;he
Japanese politicians of all parties. aud
especially those Japaaese leaders VINO
are now in power. have been telling
the Japanese people that they must
have seven ships to e<ery ten that any
other nation has. Seven to ten has
been a kind OF political slogan in
japan.
The Japanese are very much poorer
than We are. and it has been more Jif
ficult for the Japanese government TO
persuade its people to give UP their
money for shipbuilding than it has been
with us. The consequence is that the
size of the national navy has cut a
much larger figure in Japanese politics
{ than II mas in ours. The Japanese
politicians have built up a sentiment
among their people for the definite
naval ratio OF seven TO ten.
Our own naval men, like those In
4 3Iapan. hare always had a theoretical
}1y desirable ratio as the standard to
work toward. our theoretical ra ito was
ten tons to Japsr's five. But our navy
4 men and our government leaders have
down the country to political audi
z ences. In order to persuade the people
to endure the taxation. Nincty-nine out
{ of a hundred OF our people have never
5hcard anything about naval ratios. But
japanese leaders have had to preach
Their ratio OF seven to ten up and down
the country until their people were
familiar with It and that is what Is
worrying them now.
In their hes~ts the Japanese have
Of ten to six is entirely fair. but they
have TO consider their political situa-
tion at home.
Tho Japanese position on the navy.
lin fact, is some cwhat like the 'Rriand
,speech on land armament. 1t is intend
ed not 30 much to affect the present
l}confercnces as to AVOID political ur-
8hcsval back home" II has been much
! like many speeches mace by American
congressman. desiKned less to affect
the decision At issue than to square
themselves with their constituents.
Not only has the seven to ten ratio
been a Japanese political .slogan. but
Farther than that. the particular ship
Involved. the Mutsu. mas been made a
kind OF popular personificatior aud
symbol OF Japanese naval aspirations.
To the Japanese people the Mutsu has
become among ships what our IN
Known American was among soldiers
at the recent nrmisticr day celcbrat ton.
A Japanese journah~e tells me that
every Japanese laborer feels that he
has a personal dime or quarter in tho
Mu,su. II was built with money OBJ
taired thru voluuta~~ sclf-sacrifice
from Japanese laborers who earn about
4 quarter a day and pay about nickel
Of that in taxes. This journalist tells
me that the shock involved in scrap
ping this splendid. new ship. less than
a month old may cause the overturn OF
the present Japanes- ministry before
! the delegates get back from the con-
ference.

||EAR EAST AND NAVAL
PUZZLES may Be TIED.
Plan of Building One Ship a
Year Favored By
Some

Washington Dec. AS the naval
negotiations slow down there Is grow
ing speculation In conference circles
whether In the. end the Far Eastern
interlaced. 1t has been the apparent
hope of conference officials to keep
tho two discussions separate bu. there
has been moro than one indication that
there might be an attempt to make a
naval agreement in some degree con-
ditional on solution OF the political
relationship OF tho Far East.
With the question of the "5-5-3' ratio
In the allegiance because of the change
of front by Japan to claim 20 per
cent instead of 60 per cent status on
the basis OF national needs rather than
existing naval strength, naval experts
were at work today on preliminary
data for discussion Of other points OF
technical Interest In the American
program when the capital ship ratio
has been settled.
In connection with these studies the
probability is that British and Japan
csc experts will ask modification of
tho ten year naval holiday to permit
limited amount of naval building. There
is more or less divided opinion among
American naval men on the point and
the governments experts have not as
yet beon called upon to present their
views as the question is not up for for
NAL discussion.
Some American OFFICERS feel, how
ever. that It would be wiser to permit
continuous building of at least one
capital ship by eac,, power In order
that the art OF battleship building be
retained and developed MS the years
bring development in snipbuilding lines
generally.
Other officers see too many obstacles
to such modification to warrant it's
adoption. It is pointed out that Japan
has three ships in addition to tho
Mutsu now and the United States has
Is to be scrapped. Twelve of the Amer
lean 15 however, and two OF the Japan
csc are beyond the $4,000 ton capacity
ship maximum: the limit proposed.
They must be scrapped in any event.

tary Hughes, Admiral Baron Kato and
Arthur ]. Balfour was concluded tha
Japanese delegation began communi-
eating with Toxic.
The communique was issued:
Arthur j. Balfour. Admiral Baron
Kato and Secretary Hughes met at this
state department this afternoon and
had an extended interview with re.
spect to the naval proposals. No com.
ment on the interview can be made Al
this time"
Tho conference lasted about two
hours and intimations were given thai
basis existed for Some optimism. Ons
delegation spokesman referred to 1t as
ono of the most important discussions
yet held which would mean much to
the success of the conference as a
whole. The result was most favor
able" he added.
An authorized spokesman Of this
British delegation revealed clearly this
purpose of his government to use its
best efforts for a solution.
Great Britain" he said, ~has tried
to do everything within her power ia
bring about settlement Of disputed
questions between other powers. J
have no doubt that Mr.. Balfour has
used his best efforts to find q plan
which will meet the views Of both
America and Japan"
In many quarters there was a dispo.
sition to regard tonights conference Of
the big three as bearing a close re-
lation to the conversation yesterday
between Arthur J. Balfour of Great
Britain and Baron Kato. There were
indications that Japan's attitude had
not yet been fully defined by the ex-
changes proceeding between the Jap
anese delegation and Toxic however
and one Japanese spokesman said
after the big three" conference that
II would take some time to bring
the ratio question to n solution.

bated without result. withdrawal OF
the foreign troops from China and the
Chinese and japanese got down tc

The Shantung controversy. A broadly
drawn delegation of general policy on
the troop question may be adopted on
the Far Eastern committee tomorrow
but the Shangtung discussions were
adjourned until Monday after tho two
sides had set forth the general out
limos OF their positions.
There were some indications being
construed TO mean that the Japanese
viewpoint on naval armament was be-
ing brought more into harmony with
the American. 1t was understood in the
discussion of Far Eastern affairs to-
day some concessions of opinion were
made toward the Japanese contentious
regarding maintenance OF foreign
troops in China. BY some this was In
terpreted as meaning that the Jap
ancse were making concessions on tho
naval question.
