CONCRETE PLAN FOR lO-YEAR
SHIP-BUILDINC HOLIDAY
FALLS LIKE BOMB
United States Offers Go Far Beyond What She
Britain and Japan in Money Loss; Wreck
66 Major Ships.

More drastic and far-reaching than
ment dared hope, Americas proposals
were laid before the arms conference
at Washington ID. c., Saturday by Sec
retary of State, Charles q. Hughes.
A 10 year naval holiday is the pro-
posal and the United States, Great
Britain and Japan shall scrap 66 cap
ital ships, aggregating 1, S78,034 tons.
Within three months after the con-
clusion of an agreement, the United
States would have 18 capital ships.
Great Britain % and Japan 10. Ton
mage of the three nations, respective
ly, would be 5OO,65O, ,eO4, ,45O and 2o9,-
700.
Ships when 20 years old might be
replaced and the replacement scheme
is 100000 tons for the United States.
100000 tons for Grenat Britain and
100000 tons for Japan. No replace
ment ship could exceed $4,000 tons
The United States would scrap 80
capital ships aggregating S43.740
tons; Great Britain 10, aggregating
5S3,375 tons, and Japan IT. agGre-
eating 44S,928 tons. The figures include
old ships to be scrapped, ships build
ing or for which material has been as
sembled
characterized by Baron Kato chief
Japanese delegate as every far
reaching but probably suitable as a
basis for discussion and by Mr. Bal
four, head of the British delegation,
as IA statesmanlike utterance, preg-
nant with infinite possibilities and
most hopeful of satisfactory results.
The American proposal, concrete and
detailed fell on the opening moments
of the great conference like bomb
shell.
The principal features of the Amer
lean plan propose:
That for not less than 10 years com
petitive naval building cease as be-
tween Great Britain. the United States
and japan.
That all capital ships building or
planned he scrapped and few recent
ly placed in the water be destroyed
within three months of ratification OF
the agreement
That the older ships also be destroy
ed, reducing the British force to %
| battleships, the American to 1S and
the japanese to 10, each ship to be
retained being named.
That during the agreement no capi-
tai craft be laid down except under
detailed scheme included in the pro
posal which would provide for ulti
mate equality of the British and Amer
ican fleets and for Japanese force
at 60 per cent Of the strength Of either
of the other two.
That all naval craft he similarly
provided for i'm the same ratio. spe
cific figures for aggregate tonnage il
each class being laid down.

That naval air craft be disregarded
in thescaling down processes as a pro-
blem incapable of solution owing to
the convertibility Of commercial air
craft for war purposes.
That no naval building be undertak-
en- in any of the three countries on
foreign account during the agreement
That no capital ships hereafter land
down exceed $4,000 tons.
That the life of battleship shall
be fixed at 20 years and that ships to
he replaced be destroyed before the re-
placement vessel is more than three
months past completion.
That no battleship replacement what
ever be undertaken for 10 years from
date of the agreement
That no combat craft be acqired ex-
cept by construction and none be so
disposed of that it might become pa rt
of another navy.
That regulations to govern conver-
sion of merchant craft for war pur-
poses be drawn up beacuse of the i'm
pOrtance of the merchant marine in
inverse ratio to the size of naval arm
aments."
Those are the features Of thesweep-
ing challenge Secretary Hughes pre-.
sented to the other naval powers.
L. S. Takes Greatest Loss.
There was complete detail covering
every phase of the question but the
essence of the proposal lay in this
That the United States offered to &c
far beyond what she asked Great
Britain or Japan to do, viewed from
the financial losses involved
With further time to study. the
| American plan began to stand out in
its true proportions Apparently IT is
more than ten-year naval holiday
that is projected, coupled with immed
late heavy reduction of the fleets OF
the three great powers. Beyond thai
is third equally blunt suggestion fol
a continuing agreement to limit the
size of battle fleets permanently. Thai
is what Secretary Hughes naval re
placement plan really amounts to.
In naming ships to which each main
battle fleet would be cut II the Amer
lean plan for immediate reduction was
accepted, Secretary Hughes statements
show that Great Britain and the Unit
ed states would be on an aquaIitv IN
the number of battleships, but the Brit
ish would retain in addition four hat
tie cruisers. The proposed Japanes,
fleet would be composed of six battl,
ships and four battle cruisers Will,
the United States would he content
with battleships alone.
This may prove more significant a,
the discussions proceed. some nava
officers believe. 1t appears probabl,
that in proposing to agree that hotl
OF the island powers should be pro
vided in equal number with these new
est additions to the main fleets. Will

under command of VerneDye was
paraded and drilled through the streets

SIGN STILL UP

Dempsey Says He Is
Satisfied With Con
difion.

Atlantic City, N. J., June 1.-THE
mo training" sign probably will be
hung up at Jack Dempsey's camp
until Thursday or Friday according
to Indications today, when the
worlds heavyweight champion will
swing back into his conditioning
grind with the prospects of resum-
ing boxing along with the other
gymnasium routine. Until Dempsey
takes mp the full training program
again, the public will be denied ad-
mittance to the camp.
Dempsey explained the mystery
concerning his lay-off by saying
that he was so thoroughly satisfied
with his condition that he thought
a Iayoff OF three or four days would
do him good. He appeared amused
at reports the camp had been clos
ed to the public so he could engage
in secret training.
Il don't know where they get the
idea of this secrecy thing" the
champion said. Il don't need any
training at all this week, much less
secret training. l shall start in
late this week and keep it up to the
finish. am not trying to put any
thing over. Look at me. l never
felt better in my life and l never
was in such good condition three
weeks before a match, not except
ing my contest with Willard"

Evansville is always dangerous
within the confines of its Elaborate

gives a more formidable aspect to
the ambitions of the Evas at this
time.
Peoria and Bloomington have
added power to their pitching
forces, SO that the Islanders leave
home with the knowledge of having
to battle for everything in the COM

He is not losing his temper over
the lull in his training activities as
SO many of the old champions
would do.
Jack Kearns told me today that
Dempsey weighed 1872 pounds but
he looked little heavier to me.
His face is full and he's carrying
some extra weight around his hips.
Otherwise he is ready to step into
the ring.
The cut over his eye doesn't look
SO serious as most people seem to
believe it is. 1t is healing rapidly
as it is not on the bone. l do not
believe he is running much Of a
risk Of having the Frenchman open
it early in the fight.
Dempsey surprises me with his
boyishness. He has just the right
disposition to carry him through
the hard days ahead. He will talk
anything but fight.
