Trustworthy information obtained
by secret agents Of the United States
Government and disclosed by the
Navy Department day reveals Japan
building against time in efforts to more
than double her navy.
High officers of the United States
Navy, forbidden to talk for publica-
ton. privately admitted to THE NEW
YORK HERALD that the new Administra-
| ton was watching Japan's strenuous
navy building with grave concern, and
that the carefully guarded opinion in
the inner circles OF Government was
that the Japanese are forging weapon
to use against this country.
Interest in Japanese naval construc-
tion is such that every week a re-
port is submitted to the President. to
the Secretary of State and to other
heads of the Government.
\ The digest of a report obtained by

submarines and which are not figured IT

and progress that is being made from
week to week by the American Govern
ment. The hare facts show that Japan
will have strengthened her navy so per
cent. by 1924, while the United States
will have added 10 per cent. and Japar
slightly more than 100 per cent. by 1927
while the United States win have stood

Woman Tells Story
That Chandler had been contem-
plating 20 get Mcclure is borne
out in the various stories told by
witnesses TO the shooting. Mrs
! Lowe declared that Chandler had
been waiting around her place OF
I business for several minutes when
Mcguire came in. As Mcclure
STEPPED in the door she said Chand-
Ter pulled a gun on him, but before
he had a chance 20 empty its con-
tents Mcclure had thrown him TO
the floor.
She then stated that both she and

they were unsuccessful Mcclure

RESTAURANT MEN
AND HIGH PRICE
Operators of Public Eating
Places Attempt to Ex-
plain Costs.

An inquiry directed into finding
the true reason or alleged. why
prices III restaurants maintain their
high Level met with a variety Of ex-
plantations and some denials Tues
day afternoon.
Several OF the restaurants an
nounced that prices have come down
apreciably and that further drops
will be announced in the future.
The apparent inconsistency OF
high prices IN restaurants for daily
and meat products when this kind
OF produce has slumped in the mar
ket was explained By the fact that
there are other elements affecting
restaurant prices than this.
A slump in these products does
not necessar ily connOte slump IN
prices. Labor has gone UP in price
since the war. walters are no longer
content 70 work for I'll and s13 a
week. they now demand $50 and
more. cooks are in the same class
and the other miscellaneous help
entailing pearl-divers and the like
have likewise demanded their raises.
Laundry. gas and electric rates
have been climbing since the war
and the restaurant keep must reflect
this in his prices or go under.
One proprietor declared that the
only salvation which the eaters
have is a further decline " all food
produce saying that the labor prob
lem in resta uTants is more forcibly
present than in any other line OF
work.
Although there was a generality
OF opinion on the fact that meat has
come down, one proprietor said that
IN his place this was not correct.
He said that for beef particularly
ne was paying more now than he
did during the war. This meat now
varies between % TO IS cents a
pound, while during the war the
scale slid between IS 10 AZ cents
this must be reflected in the menu;
poCk, the same men said has come
down 80 per cent, but II Is only
dropped IN the prices after allowance
has been made for the helps wages.

REFUSE TO FARLEY
WITH INSURGENTS
German Commander in Upper
Silesia Declines to Comply
With Suggestion.
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press:
ODER GLOGAU, Upper Silesia.
May 31.-Gen. Won Hoefer. com7
mander Of the German guards in
this city, has declined to comply
with the suggestion made by the
inter-alled representatives that he
negotiate with the Polish insurgents
in an attempt TO find a ground upon
which the situation in Upper Silesia
could be adjusted. Gen. Won Hoefer
appeared to be resentful that such
request had been made, saying that
the Germans had gathered together
forces for a great effort and that
the would under no circumstances
open conversations with the rebels.
The suggestion to Gen. Won Hoefer
is Understood 10 have been made by
a delegation Of French and British
officers, who pointed out the grave
consequences that might result
should the Pole attempt 10 exclude
the British or carry out their threats
to blow up mines and factories in
the industrial districts. In British
circles it was said today that il was
known n number Of towns had been
mined and factories wired and eN-
plocives planted in them, but that
it was believed this work had not
been so widely planned as the Poles
have asserted
The fear has been expressed IN
some sources that the insurgents
will become disOrsanized in the event
of a British or Italian advance and
plumber, burn and kill.
Seemingly in support Of this fear
there recently have been reports
that the Polish officers gradually
have been losing command and
pressure has been increased upon
them. A number of deserters have
informed the Germans that they
were brought over the border un-
armed and then given guns and told
that they must fight.
