Senator Borah, one OF the few OPP
ponents in the Senate to the four Power
treaty. sees nothing Inconsistent" in
the demand of France that she be al
lowed to build ten capital ships.
'The French position regarding the
5-5-3 naval ratio" said the Senator. ''is
not inconsistent with similar conces-
sions Great Britain and Japan have
wrung from the conference. A flood
of light is thrown on the view which
the four signatores to the four Power
treaty take of it by the fact that after
signing the treaty Japan still insists on
keeping the Mutsu and Great Britain
starts building two super-Hoods and
France is demanding ten capital ships.
Instead of the four Power treaty
having the tendency to make the sigma
tories less determined to have big
navies and less determined to continue
naval construction. it seems to me to
have had the opposite effect.
Neither Great Britain, France nor
Japan appears to be at all willing to
place the least confidence in the four
Power treaty. This action since it's
signing shows that 1t is clearly intended
as military and naval alliance and

shantung Negotiations.

Negotiations between China and
Japan over the Shantung controversy
ran up against snag this afternoon
that the American and British dele
gates are doing their best to remove.
The chief obstacle in the way of an
agreement over Shantung continues
to be the manner in which China is to
repay the money which japan has in
vested in the railway.
The Chinese delegates say they want
to pay in cash the 55.o00,000 gold
marks demanded by Japan and the
Japanese have refused to accept it.
They demand that China pay the
money it owes to Japanese interests
on other transactions. Here the mat
ter stands for the present.
There is no question of the sincerity
OF the Chinese offer to liquidate the
Japanese claim on the railway. There
is a great deal of question, however
regarding the other debts, which arc
estimated to amount to about $3.50,
900, 900. An effort to get japanese
consent to accept pledges for this vast
amount has not up to date succeeded
The negotiations will continue on
Monday

Conference Doings

A FFAIRS took turn for the
~ better with the development
that the French request for
ten capital ships was submitted for
the purpose of debate and not with
any idea of disturbing the general
outcome of the conference.
NJ. Sarraut at a meeting of the
naval subcommittee took up much
time of the meeting in protesting
against the manner in which the
French request was made public
and in presenting expert views on
Frances naval needs.
In the Far East discussions
China and Japan reached another
deadlock on the question of the
manner of payments for the Kiao-
chow railroad. Japan's plan vir-
tually meaning another long time

FORD LIZZIE WON
 TN SUPREME COURT
Tribunal Decides State Cannot Con- fiscate Auto for Carrying Booze Common Law Is Repealed
 by Statutes.

Little Rock, Dec. 12.-0ne of Henry Ford's Lizzies won another en- durance test Monday morning in the state supreme court, when it came out the victor in suit filed against it by the state. It was decided mot guilty" by the court, and released from custody. The suit was styled "The state vs. one Ford Automobile. J
 The suit was to determine whether or not under the common law an auto mobile could be confiscated, con- demned and held for sale if it had been used in the illegal transporta- tion of intoxicating liquors.
 The court held that the states of the state repealed the common law and car when taken in such manner could not be confscated.
 The Ford in question was used by one Wilson, according to the records before the court. According to the state attorney, the Ford was a gross violator of the law and subject to condemnation. It had transported 20 gallons of intoxicating liquor from one point in Pulaski county to anoth- CT.
 The Ford's defense was that it had been borrowed and was the property of one Johnson, who was ignorant of it's activities, and that it could not be seized and confiscated and condemned
 "Our statutes, the opinion said, "it is on this subject so far as concerns the use of property in the unlawful manufacture, sale or transportation of intoxicating liquor, has repealed the common law on that subject"

20- year alliance after it no longer desired to give up the alliance, she desired to get in some closer working relationship with the United States. She accomplishes both purposes by the Pacific treaty today; she does h gracefully and with the plaudits of the world resounding at the move taken as distinct contribution t. world peace.
 If American representatives had gone to a world conference under similar circumstances and contribut- ed of such results, would it not be hailed as a signal triumph to Ameri- can diplomacy? While the inside story of the conference attributes to Japan the original broaching of the proposition, it is to Balfour that credit is given for being the engineer of the world agreement-Balfour working in close harmony with our own Amer ican representatives.
