ENCOURAGED
OVER NAVAL.
DISl,JJSlSI

Washington, Nov. 23.-The con-
ference committee of the five prin-
cipal powers ca Limitation Of arma-
ments met today TO resume consid-
Grafton of the Hughes proposal for
Ia 10-year naval holiday and fix a
reduction of the 5-5-3 ratio OF CAPT
tai ships for the United States,
Great Britain and Japan.
Despite criticisms OF the American
plan and frequent disquieting re-
ports tending to stir up pessimism
concerning it, the American dele
gates last night were encouraged
over progress in informal negotia-
tiGp between the interested powers
since the conference accepted the
proposal in principle and IS a basis
for discussion.
Assurance were Siven that Great
Britain will join with the United
States to maintain the underlying
principle Of tho limitation plan, the
ratio of capital ships, with Japan
urging with all the ingenuity that
her diplomatic representatives can
command that her ratio be increased
from so per cent to 70 or rs.
Seeks to Save Dreadnought.
Japan's insistence, brought down
to final analysis by naval experts,
is said to be actuated wholly by
q desire to save the dreadnought
Mutsu, which she insists has been
mistakenly included in the list Of
now ships to be scrapped. The
Japanese declare she was launched
before November Il. II that Is all
Japan wants when the cards are ali
on the table, she may get it but if
she does, the ratio would be halane-
ed again by permitting the United
States to retain the Colorado and
Great Britain to lay down a ship of
the Hood tyne. Great Britain does
not want to do this and the United
States does not want to retain the
Colorado. To grant this concession,
british and American leaders agree,
would violate the underlying prin-
ciple Of putting an end to com
petitive naval building tt it can
be proved, however, that there has
been serious mistake in the cal
culations relating to the status of
the Mutsu, an arrangement might
be worked out to save the sIu
for Japan and scrapping some of
her other existing tonnage without
disturbing the 5-5-3 scale.

cablegrain received yesterday from
San Juan to request President Hard

the charges which are TO be pre-

signed by 80 of the So members Of

Dav,la announced last night that
he would see President Harding and

Declaring that Governor Reilly
came to the island with deep-rooted
prejudices," the cablegram charges
that his actions since then have
indicated that he lacked ''judicious-
ness and discretion necessary for
the position he now holds. On the
pretext that the president of the
Senate and members of the majority
party We're enemies of the United

Paris.-Dr. Ivan Manoukhin, a
young Russian physician, known
for some years at the Pasteur IN

covered, by way of the X-rays, the
long-sought cure, not only OF pull
monayr consumption, but of tubercu-
losis generally and of other infec-
tious diseases whose elimination de-
ponds on the successful prosecution
in the blood itself of the war against
the invading microbe.
DR.. Manoukhin set out his method
and the results obtained by him in
the fullest detail before the society
for the study Of tuberculosis here,

technical that I asked him, when
I found him with his friend, DR..
Donat, TO give me the essential
facts in few words easily understood
by the uninstructed layman. This
he kindly did.
at is generally known" he told
me, that the work of the white
corpuscles in the blood is to sup
ply sort of gendarmerie for the
elimination of disease germs. Be-
tween them and the enemy an I'M
ceasing struggle is going on, and
health cannot be maintained or re-
stored, unless the white corpuscles
have definitely the upper hand.
The cure of infectious disease de-
ponds therefore on the reinforce
ment OF the white corpuscles, and
this again depends on the release
into the blood of certain soluble fer
ments which / call leucocytolsins.

these ferments are produced by the

activity of the spleen by radiating
the organ with small doses of the
Rentgen rays that I claim to bring
about the cure"
The war called the doctor to Rus

ed by the radiation Of the spleen,
and of these, he told me proudly,

GERMANS DRINK MUCH

lin.-Consumption OF wines
and liquors has been increasing so
rapidly in Germany since the war
that the Reichstag has directed the
drafting of a law, to be introduced
at the September session to regulate
the traffic. The law also will
Ieheck growing increase in the
number OF saloons which, in Berlin
particularly, has been so rapid that
even the moderates say the health
and morals of the people are en-
ldangered
The crime wave which has been
sweeping the country for many
months, filling the jails of every
city and severely taxing the re-
sources of the police, is attributed
| by many to the "drinking-craze"
and especially to the more general
use, among the poorer Germans,
|of cheap cognacs, green WHISTLES,
gin and other hard liquors" The
Germans, in fact, are gradually los
ing their old reputation as beer
drinkers, although an abundance of
beer is obtainable.
Practically all the cafes and wine-
rooms of Berlin are installing
american bars" and even the
high-priced cabarets, where only
once best wines were served at
tables for which charge was made,
now have long mahogany bars,
against which the customer may
lean, with his feet on brass foot

the price of drink or the bar
tender will trust him.
There is no charge for a place
at the bar, but to sit at the tables
it is compulsory to drink cham

Lar price, with proportionate profit
to the proprietor.
The consumption of champagne

ing, although the official closing
hour is 1880 at night.
Publication Of the statistics of
champagne consumption recently
brought a prompt demand from
radical Socialists and labor organi-
cations for more rigorous control of
this traffic which, it was alleged,
represented the privileges" secured
by the profiteers and the moneyed

sion, officers say.
A charge of accessory to murder
is pending against her, while her
husband faces murder charge. Ii
is said a warrant has been issued
for Tom Bridges, father Of Pete
Bridges, charging him with access
sorry to the murder. The baby's
body has not been recovered al
though a searching party dragged
the creek yesterday.
According to Mrs. Bridges con-
fession, her husband had urged her
''to get rid of the baby for several
days, but she refused. She said
that she saw her husband throw the
infant into the creek. The baby's
body rose to. the surface, the mo-
Their said, and she saw it wave its
hands and then sink. The next day
the couple removed to England,
where they have resided since.
Conflicting stories told by Bridges

er are said to have led to the arrest
Of the couple. It was reported the

home near Batesville, while another
report was that the parents had

From England it was learned that
the child was not with its parents.

sheep are raised.
When Sir James Douglas, OF the
Hudsons Bay Company, in 1912
built a fort on Camosun Harbor, the
site Of the present city of Victoria,
the island was infested with cougars,
which in other parts of the continent
are known as panthers, pumas and
mountain lions. Then British CO.
lumbia was part of the Hudson Bay
Companys empire, the last vestiges
of which are fast disappearing, as
the company is selling out its
remaining lands in the prairie prov
inces to farm settlers.
War was declared upon the big
cats in pioneer times and they were
almost exterminated. In recent
years they have increased alarming
ly and now are menace to remote
farms. The slaughter by cougars
of pigs, calves and sheep cuts a
serious figure in farmers profits.
The present campaign, it is be-
lieved, will wipe them out. The fl
nancial encouragements, it is said,
are the largest ever offered in the
history OF North American wild
animals. Not a cougar, it is ex-
pected, will be left alive on VAN
couver Island in another year.
