ATTITUDE
OVER The SUBJECT
REMAINS In DOUBT
Indicated that Premier BRAND
Has Decided to Accept
American Proposal.
NOTIFICATIONS OF NAVAL
HOLIDAY PLAN SUGGESTED
French Want to Replace Present
Obsolete Battleships With
Modern Designs.
~ The AssocIated PressN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19-France
has taken steps to reconcile her views
on the naval ratio problem with those
of the othe" powers but her precise
attitude-now the crux OF the arms
iscussion-remains In doubt. Unof-
ficials advices from today indicated
that Premier BRAND has decided to
accept the American proposal for a
French capital ship fleet Of IFS, 900
tons in place of the 35O.o00-ton plan
drawn by the French delegates.
Secretary Hughes. as chairman OF
the arms conference. also received from
the French premier a communication
construed at the state department as
meaning that the French group had
been directed to accede to the Ameri-
can program.
But the French delegates themselves
did not so construe a long message Of
instructions received from the premier
during the day. They described it as
advising them to go as far toward
meeting the American views as they
could without sacrifice Of French ma
tionai interests. It was said not to
embody a specific tonna plan.
With the negotiation rat situa
tion, Mr.. Hughes and Saraut
head of the French del ion. held
long conference late this afternoon and
parted without making any announce
ment. 1t was said only that the con-
versations were proceeding and that
here was mutual expectation OF ulti-
mate agreement.
In other quarters also there was ap-
parent q distinct note of pessimism de-
spite the days mystifying succession
Of developments. Among American Of
icia1s an almost unanimous belief pre-
yailed that France eventually would
take the American figure for her cap
ita1 ship allotment, even though she
insisted on an increase of submarine
tonnage as an offset. For the moment
the negotiations are concerned solely
with capital ships, and to many dele
gates a five power agreement on that
subject does not seem far away.
It is pointed out by the Americans
that even an effort by the French to
adopt a conciliatory attitude toward
the views Of the United States may be
regarded as long step toward a set
tlement. The American position all
along has been that ratios should be
adjusted on the basis Of existing
strength, while the $50 000-ton pro-
posal of the French was frankly pred
icated on the entirely different princi-
pie of national needs. SO If tho French
premier has done nothing more than
approve the American status quo"

4 Grangeville now has a radio outfit
in operation that reproduces musical
programs sent out from the Fairmont
Hotel, San Francisco, and can pick up
calls from Colon, Panama, and the
two commercial stations at Avalon,
Santa Catalina Island, and at Long
Beach, California.
The receiving set is entirely the con-
struction of Harold Randall, son Of
Rev. and Mrs H. s. Randall, a stu
dent at the Washington State College,
who Is spending his vacation with his
parents in this city. Mr.. Randall has
an aerial pole with maximum height
Of 20 feet and one 40 feet in height.
At the present time he has no sending
apparatus In speaking of his outfit,
which is located in the rear Of the
family home in the west part of the
city, Mr. Randall said:
"Only five watts of power are used
to send music and the voice through
the air thousand miles
THE Fairmont Hotel of San Fran
cisco, Calf, has been in the habit of
giving their musical concerts by radio
telephone. They use a set designed by
a San Francisco electrician and use
only five watts of power in the open
occillatory circuit. The fact that only
five watts were used makes the test
quite remarkable, as five watts are
only about one-twelfth Of the pawer
used by one of the ordinary electric
lights"
