washington, Dec. lo.--AhleI.ea
proposal for an absolute ten-year holt
day in the construction of big battle
ships was endangered in the arms con-
ference today. British spokesman
made it plain that if Japan is to CONF
plete. the Mutsu, Great, Britain must
be allowed to construct two super
Hoods during the proposed holiday.
Counter proposals for realignlng the
British navy to meet Japan's retcn-
ton of the Matsu were considered by
the "big three today. r
These counter proposals call for:
The construction Of two super
Hoods and the scrapping Of four
dreadnaughts and one battle cruiser.
The construction Of two vessels of
the, royal sovereign type and the
scrapping of four dreadnaughts and
no battle cruisers.
Virtually no work has been done
on the Hoods; thus making consider
able construction necessary during
the holiday if Britain is allowed them.
The Americans and British having
acquiesced In principle to the Japan
csc retention of the Mutsu are ready
to agree that America keep the Wash
ington and another battleship.

in basketball, and the result virtually
always has been the same-a defeat for
Lafayette. But this year-well, Coach
Bill Anderson and his men are not max :.
ing any extravagant statements, but
they are thinking an awful lot about
beating the Red and Blue.
Since the return Of Gendal Reeves,
the former Northeast High School cap
tain, Lafayette has been on a winning
streak. One of the main reasons for
the victories over Temple, Lehigh and
st. Johns College, Of New York, has
been the sensational foul goal shooting
of Reeves.
In the game with the Temple Univer-
sty five Reeves scored IL out Of 10
fouls. He continued his excellent work
against Lehigh, caging 10 out Of IA.
Last week he threw in 9 out of Z
against the st. Johns team. Up to
this defeat at Easton the st. Johns
team had won six straight games. They
walloped Catholic University, which
team Penn defeated by a mere two
points. st. Johns also had defeated
Fordham, which, in turn, had won
from Yale.

The linesmen are upset because they
cannot efficiently perform their duties

pected to do. They can't see the lines

Can Improve Game
If the club officials will make some
effort to keep the lines clear OF spec
tators and the referees will insist on
the lines being clear the playing OF the
game will be improved and the specta
TORS will increase in number and OF
course the gate receipts.
Another thing managers should 40
Is keep the spectators off the held ~
half time. These days when the ground
is apt to be soft allowing hundreds OF
spectators to swarm over 1t does not
make it any harder, and If the lines
have not been obliterated in the play
they will be erased by the spectators.
No one should at any time during the
game be allowed on the field except the
PLAYERS and the officials. -,
Ropes or like restraining lines should

a yard and half from the touch and
goal lines, and if necessary uniformed
policemen put there to keep the specta-
tors back Of the ropes.
This evil is in the hands OF the clubs
and the referees, and IL the clubs should
neglect it the referees should stop the
game until the spectators awaken to
the necessity Of keeping the lines clear.

| GREAT SUCCESS.

The largest crowd, that has
gathered in Cottonwood, in many
days was present at the enter
tainment given by the children
Of the st. Joseph school in the
Orpheum theatre, Wednesday
evening. The play commenced
promptly at 500 and each and
every number was stag e d
promptly and quickly with no
dragging out of the program.
The numbers, from l to II,
which constituted the program
were all worthy of special men,
ton, but to do so would take a
great deal of time and space so
we are only going to mention two
in particular. The Gypsy Dream,
a romantic musical play in two
acts. AS for the acting it was
more than would ordinarily be ex-
pected from mere children, but
for the customs, too much con-
not be said, all the handiwork of
the sisters in charge of the af-
fair, the customes behind the
footlights, with their numerous
colors and shades, dangling upon
them ornaments of various kinds
that would have been envied by
any member of a gypsy tribe,
made very specular and i'm
pressive scene.
The Awakening of Spring, the
other number we believe is wor-
thy of special mention, the GUS
toms being lovely and with rays
of red and green thrown upon
the stage at various intervals,
from the moving picture mach
inc made a beautiful scene.
The receipts of the evening
were approximately $170.
