Baron Kato affirmed positively the
"Genro" or elder statesmen, will not
have a finger in the Washington Toxic
pie, nor will the privy council. The Jap

whether the proposal to supersede the

school of thought in Japas convinced
that American policy in building naval
airships like the ill-starred ZR-2 has
the Pacific Ocean only in mind. The
Miyako, a popular Toxic newspaper, in
an editorial which reached Washington
yesterday, said recently:
"The report that the United States is
about to construct unprecedently large
military airships each with a flying ca
pacity sufficient for making trans
ease and in a short space of time is be-
ing received with a sense not altogether
free from suspicion by peoples of differ
ent countries. Whether 1t is mere un-
founded rumor or a disclosed secret is
unknown at present. But, at any rate,
it is strange that, while the reduction in
ornaments is to be discussed and dis
armament conference will soon meet at
Washin gton, the United States is credit
ed with such a gigantic military plan.
should the United States strengthen
her naval bases at Hawaii, station her
powerful squadrons therein, and, fur
Their, be supplied with large naval and
military aircrafts which will be able to
fly over to Toxic In a short time, the
program of our national defense must,
of necessity, be altered, and the reduc-
ton of naval ornaments Of Japan will
become a mere hope on the part Of the
Japanese people. II the alleged con-
struction OF such powerful and great
airsh1ps by the United States Is fab
rication, pure and simple, it Is all very
well. We earnestly hope It Is a ground

to the heads of its thirty-nve affiliated

three specific questions:
/. Do you favor the increase Of the
submarines TO 10000 tons with no
limit as to size and cruising ability?
.. Do you favor the restriction Of
the size of submarines to a point that
makes them available for defensive
purposes only?
3. Do you favor their abolition as

WASHINGTON, Dec. e.-Taking up the
challenge that the four women delegates
were not making the most of their great
opportunity for service offered them by
the official connection with the wash
ington conference, Mrs. Eleanor Franklin
Egan, secretary of the advisory council
of which the four women are members,
denied she and her colleagues had be-
come mere rubber stamps" This was
at luncheon at the Women's City Club.
cit is claimed We have refused to ex-
press ourselves Fad might as well have
stayed at home for all the good we are
doing the women Of the country.
"a couple of days ago four reports
were adopted by the advisory committee
after careful discussion by sub-commlt-
tees and submitted to Secretary Hughes.
Ex-senator Sutherland, chairman OF the
committee, saw newspaper correspondents
after the meeting, but in no way divuIged
the contents OF the reports, feeling this
ought to be done only through Secretary
Hughes.
PRESS DISPATCH
DECLARED UNTRUTHFUL.
1.-THE next morning a prominent press
association carried an article giving de-
tails of these reports contrary to Facts
Not only did the article give misleadlng
impression, but its appearance spoiled

Mrs Egan could not explain how the
erroneous information escaped, but said
none Of tn women was responsible for
It. She said they had made it rule 70

committee, speak for the committee and

committee rooms.
Mrs. Egan said if she were sending a
message to the women Of the country she
would tell them, 1--WE are doing out best
to represent American women by being
worthy members Of the committee" She
would tell American women to curb their

completed is about on n par with similar
work commenced or under way by the
Japanese in the BONN Islands which
| form the northern apex of a right-angled
| triangle, with Guam at one corner and
the Philippines at the other. The Mar
shall and Caroline Islands, which are to
the South athwart our direct route from
Honolulu and Manila, are held by Japan
under League OF Nations mandate terms
which forbid their fertilization.
1t is an open secret that American
naval experts are not entirely convinced
of the innocence Of japanese purposes
in the Marshall and Caroline Islands.
For one thing, it is said to be virtu-
, ally impossible for foreigners to secure
access to the islands. Word also has
reached Washington that the Japanese
are erecting high-power wireless stations
in the two groups. Such facilities, it
is believed, can have little commercial
value. Wireless installations also have
been established in the BONN islands
The Japanese probably would Justify
such measures by their protested anxi-
ETY. over Americas intentions toward
their country. Just now a good deal is
being heard in Washington of the deep
seated dread of an American attack al
