rAssociated d Press1

Washington, Nov. 3O.--The big
three" subcommittee of naval ex-
perts had concluded today its con-
sideration of the facts and figures
involved in the American "55-3"
ratio proposal and will refer the
question back to the full committee
of experts for further action. No
vote was taken in the subcommittee
and while japanese experts are
understood to continue their view
that Japan is entitled to a higher
feet ratio, there was said to have
been no disagreement as to the fig
ures involved. The action Of the
sub committee, however, represents
a substantial disagreement between
American and Japanese naval ex-
'perts over the size of the japanese
navy.
Arrangements have been made, It
is said officially, for direct negotia-
tions between japanese and Chinese
delegations over Shantung. Nego-
tiations are expected to start i'm

FOUR SHIPS STRUCK ICEBERdS
Associated Press1

Archangel, NOV. oO.-hohuaneo
has always hovered about the
dashes which ships have made
through the Kara Sea to get the pro-
ducts which the two Siberian rivers,
the OBJ and Yenisei, carry into ports
that can be entered for only a few
weeks in summer because Of the
floating ice in the Arctic and Kara.
So in this year, when famine
swept the Volga area, it Is not
strange that the Russian food COM
missariat turned its eyes toward the
mouths of the Yenisei and Oh, and
started feet through the icebergs
in search of bread. Many small
ships were commissioned. Some of
them made the trip safely, but four
ships, the OBJ, Yenisei, lila and San
Ia met the fate Of the Titanic. The
Yenisei and lila each carried 2,400
tons of grain to the bottom Of the
ocean. The Oh and Santa had only
very small cargoes. The crews
escaped over the running ice and
were picked up by icebreakers.

KANSAS HAS
APOOR WHEAT
CROP OUTLOOK
Lowest Condition in lts
History Caused by a
Dry Autumn
Associated Press

Topeka Nov. 2S-The lowest wheat
crop condition in the history Of the
state is reported by Secretary Mohler
of the state board Of agriculture In
his first report on the new wheat
crop. The condition is given as 5S.6
per cent Of a normal condition. The
acreage is reported as 11,2S0,000, the
third largest ever sOwn. Lack OF
moisture is given as the cause for the
poor condition.
In his. report covering the gloom
situation in the wheat belt, Secre-
tary MOhler says:
approximately 11,2S0,O00 acres
of wheat have been sown in Kansas
this fall, or ~ per cent less than a
year ago, according to the consensus
Of the boards correspondents, and
nearly 8 per cent less than the
states record acreage Of the fall OF
1919, making this years seeding the
third largest. Based on 100 as
representing satisfactory stand and
development, however, the present
condition of the growing wheat is
rated as $50, the lowest November
condition in the history OF Kansas,
SO far as the records Of the state
board of agriculture reveal. This Is
due to general lack Of moisture.
1.-THE next lowest fall conditions
were 7O.1 in 1917 and 75.9 in 1915.
A year ago the condition of the
growing wheat was 87.S, or 29.2
points higher than reported this fall.
The better conditions are in the
counties Of the eastern third OF the
state, where the wheat acreages are
comparatively small, Brown report
ing the highest, "a, and in a hall
dozen northwestern counties. Pres
ent prospects are very poor in many
of the counties most prominent IN
wheat acreage, as Ellis county with
21O. 800 acres and a condition Of 22
the lowest reported; Ford 294,OOO
acres, condition 80; Rush 226,OOO
acres, condition SO; Mitchell l63'-
700 acres, condition "a; Ness 49,
900, condition 80; Russell 10000
condition 40, while Reno with near
ly 100000 acres reports condition
of 44.i 49,
Dickinson county is given proba-
Bile acreage of 176,6S4 compared
with 159,294 last year. This Is the
largest wheat acreage in the coun-
tvs history. The condition Of Dick
inson's wheat is given as IS per cent
Of normal which is well up to the
ton among the counties of the state
but lower than last year at this
date
