Fall Side Tracks
McNary's Plans

Washington, Nov. 22.-Secre-
tary Of the Interior Fall has vetoed
the plans for an exhibit of recla
nation products from Oregon to
be brought to Washington, which
Senator McNary planned to place
in the senate office building as an
additional argument for his recla-
nation bill
1t was desired that the govern
ment take title to the exhibit,
which would enable it to be trans
ported free Of cost to Washington.
Secretary Rail, according to First
Assistant Secretary Finney, takes
the view that the reclamation
service would not be warranted in
doing SO with respect ITO "a private
and local matter" This probably
will defeat the plans for making
the exhibit.

when she might begin replace
ment building. four battleships
that dated back 22 years to the
time their keels were laid, four
going back Fl years and four
twenty years. Her newest battle
ships, the Royal sovereign group
of five, were laid down in 1914
and completed in 1915 under war
pressure. They would be fifteen
years from date of completion and
two years from the beginning OF
replacement vessels when the hol-
iday ended.
One of the four British battle
cruisers to be retained, the Tiger
was laid down in 1911. She would
be ready for replacement also IN
1881. The other three, the HOOD
Renown and Repulse, were war
built and designed for action IN
the North sea.
Applying the twenty-year life
rule and the holiday decade to the
ships America proposes to keep,
eight of the eighteen would be 20
years or,more from the date their
keels were laid in 1881. TWO OF
them, the Delaware and North
Dakota, would be twenty-four
years old from completion before
the ships to replace them were
commissioned. The newest ships,
the Maryland, California, Tennes-
see Idaho and Mississippi, how
ever, would still have almost de-
cade of active life when the holi-
day ended.
In the same way in the Japa-
nese retained fleet, the oldest
Japanese battleship, the Settsu,

would have but three years of ac-
tive life left when the holiday

Washington, Nov. 22.-(By tn
Associated Press. Reconsideration
of Chinese aspects of the Far Eas'
ern problem was continued today
at a meeting of the Washington
conference committee on Pacific
and Far Eastern questions and II
was decided to appoint a sub
committee to study Chinese fiscal
affairs.
Further consideration Of Chinese
problem was postponed until
o'clock tomorrow, when another
meeting Of the delegates OF the
nine powers in committee OF the
whole viii be held.
The conference committee COM
prising the five principal powers
will meet at II o'clock tomorrow
in executive session for further
consideration of naval reduction,
Senator Underwood of the
Amerincan delegation, brought
forward the proposal today ror
the committee to examine China's
fiscal affairs. His suggestion
was said to have been adopted
unanimously and Chairman
Hughes was authorized to appoint
the subcommittee later.
The committee is to take
up China's proposal for restoration
of tariff autonomy which would
remove the present restriction
limiting to five per cent the duty
collectible on China's imports.

chancellor, telling of the German
governments willingness to seek
foreign credits required to meet
the. January reparations payment
to the allies has been received by
the public as confirmation of the
belief popularity held that the
government possesses no illusions
as regards its ability to secure a
period of grace in whcih to meet
its obligation. Thee commission
left Saturday for Paris without
answering the communication. but
In official quarters the belief Is
expressed that reply will be
forthcoming from Paris.
Although the heads Of the for
eigu office are reported to have
made strong efforts to impress the
members Of the commission with
the International and external
effects OF a forced entry by Ger
many into the foreign money
markets, 1t Is asserted that the
commissioner have declined 70

for the country.
The reichsbank statement for
the week OF November 15 which
was published on the eve OF the

100000, 900 marks in new paper
TO the national CURRENCY bringing
the total to more than 100000
100000 marks, of which seven
billion is in loan bank notes. The
present heavy output of fresh
paper money has been all the
more conspicuous as 1t occurred

and Higua, would have from four
to five years to go before being
Iscrapped as worn out and replaced.
! The Nagato alone would have a
decade or more of serviceable life
left, and the four battle cruisers.
the Kirishima, Haruna, Hi-Yei
and Kongo, also would have only
four or five years before they
would be replaced.
Viewed in this way, there is
some reason to believe that both
the British and Japanese experts
think the United States would
come to the end of the holiday
period in far better shape than
either of the other two powers.
The situation apparently would
weigh more heavily on Japan than
on Great Britain, because under
the "5-5-3" ratio of Secretary
Hughes plan already accepted by
the British, the British would
have to provide for 20 per cent
reduction Of their fleet by 1891,
when the ratio would apply. Japan
would not face any such reduction.
however, and must get to work
promptly on new ships if she was
to maintain, even the proposed
"5-5-3" ratio.
1t seems possible that Secretary
Hughes contemplated still great
er reduction in tonnage than the
100000 500.0001300,00O capital
ships aggregates laid down in his
replacement plan. He was stating
the case for the United States with

PARTRIDGE HUNTING
SEASON HAS ENDED
Season on Fur Bearing Meets Delay
On Account OF Warm
Weather.

This will be busy week for the
hunters and trapners, for, although
the season opened on some of the
fur.bearing animals on October 20,
but few had set their lines of traps
because of the unusually warm wealth
er and the consequent poor condition
of the pelts. Many have reported the
skins still blue"
The week will be busy for more
reasons than one, Yesterday was the
last day for hunting woodcock or ruf.
fed grouse, commonly called partridge.
There has been some excellent hunt
ing the last few days, since the heavy
frost and the high wind and rain OF
a few days ago when the leaves fell
rapidly. Up to this tine hunting with,
out dog was hard. The woodcock
started their southern fight several
days ago according 10 reports from
some sections,
AS early as Sunday large number
of hunters spent the day back In the
woods. making their camps ready Tor
the open deer season, which lasts TINS
wear from November To November
10. inclusive, but exclusive OF Sunday,
November 13. This season is OF IL
DAYS duration with IL hunting days
while last year the season lasted but
six days. This year only bucks with
horns three inches or over shall be
shot.
There have been some changes IN
the law regarding the taking OF fur'
hearing animals The muskrat sea

BROTHERHOOD MEETING
Speaker of the Evening Was Rev
John A. McCoI

A we'll attended meeting of the
Methodist Brotherhood was held last
evening II was coincidence that
Bennington's Scotch colony was we'll
represented to be entertained by
Scotchmen, although no knowledge
of the program had been published.
George Small sang several songs
of Bonnie Scotland" which we're re-
Iceived with the usual satisfaction and
applause accorded nfms The guest
of the evening was Rev. John A. Nc
Coll who has spent ten years in South
Africa and met with several thrilling
adventures there. He gave an inter
esting informal talk on Africa in gem
eral and the southern portion in par
ticular. with which he is most fam
iliar.
His address was an eye opener to
those who have always had the idea
that DARK Africa was an unfertile
waste OF desert and tangle of jun
gle He showed hundreds Of pictures
OF the gold and diamond mines He
had some rare and valuable specimens
of precious metals and jewels with
which to illustrate his talk, and an
swered the questions of an interested
audience until midnight
The exhibit which attracted the
most attention was large rug made
by the natives from the skins of thirty
wild cats. The whole skins were sew
ed together in most perfect manner
with thirty tails and fifteen heads at.
tached. 1t was presented Mr.. McColl
by King Khama, chief of the Baman-
gwato. Another interesting specimen
was beautiful diamond in its native
rock setting.
His adventure with lioness was
particularly thrilling and the snap
shot picture of the animal, poised for
spring with wide open jaws, taken
within ten feet, was accepted as evi-
dence that it was not a fish story.
Altogether the entertainment was one
of the most instructive and interest
ing which the Brotherhood has en-
joyed,
The next meeting will be held Tues
day evening, November 18th.
