terpreted as meaning that this country
was ready to settle the limitation OF
armament questions independent OF the
other questions before the conference.
However, it has been said and re-
iterated that the conference is here to
act. and that it does not intend to nave
it's work held up or impeded by delay
over other matters when some are ready
to go forward. But the impression has
gained ground that if the conference
finds itself in accord on the subject Of
limitation of naval armament at
comparatively early date, as is now be-
lived will be the case, no final agree
ment will be signed until other matters
have been thrashed out and are, too. in
a position for final action.
For Independent Settlement.
The delegates of Great Britain and
Japan both. on the other hand. have
declared that they see no reason why
cannot be settled independently of
the other questions before the con-
ference. Admiral Baron Kato, head of
the Japanese delegation, made such a
statement in an interview with the
newspaper correspondents last Satur-
day, and it was learned yesterday
through official channels that this
was the position of the British dele
gates, too. In other words. while
there is no intimation that they de-
sire to dodge the other questions, the
delegates of these two nations would
be willing. if no agreement is reached
on far east problems, to settle the
question of limitation of naval ar
mament and go home, leaving things
in the orient in statu quo.

the Japanese, have said nothing pub

BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

More and more it Is becoming un-
derstood here that sine qua non to
the proposed limitation of naval
armament by Great Britain, Japan
and the United States-so far as the
United States is concerned-is the
abrogation of the Anglo-Japanese al
lance. There has been nothing said
so far, unless it be within the inner
circles of the delegates attending the
Washington conference, to this effect
by the American government. But it
appears inevitable that the position
of the United States in this matter
will be made clear before any agree
ment is entered into.
The United States has made what
has been termed by all the powers a
naval armament, provided the other
two great naval powers will also re-
duce. But to pledge itself not to build
any more naval vessels for a period
OF ten years, and to leave the other
two naval powers bound together in
a defensive alliance. with their COM
blned navies approximately double
the naval forces of the United States,
would scarcely be regarded as rea-
sonable by any one, it is said.
No Official Opinion.
Efforts have been made to obtain from
the United States delegates to the con-
ference statement as to whether this
country would agree to a completion OF
the limitation of naval armament pro-
gram independent of the solution OF
the far eastern problems. in which the
Anglo-Japanese alliance looms large TO,

LONDON, November 1S.-The ad-
miralty announced today that it had
ordered the cessation of all work on
the four warshipS of the super
Hood type. The shipbuilding firms
were notified yesterday not to incur
any further liabilities on new naval
construction until further notice from
the admiralty.
These contracts were awarded only
two weeks ago.
Officials explained that the practical
effect of the adEliralty's order would
be the absolute cessation of all war
ship work pending the outcome of
the Washington conference.
All New Ships Affected.
Three of the ships were to have
been built on the Clyde and the fourth
at Newcastle-onTyne.
The admiralty order halts work on
all the new warships authorized by
parliament. Actual construction had
not yet begun, although it is under
stood virtually all the preliminary
work has been completed.
The four ships were to cost about
f32,000,000 in all, and the bulk of this
sum will be saved by the government.
as a comparatively small sum is due

accomplished.
The admiralty order caused conster-

CABINET TAKES Up
REORGANIZATION
Secretary Fall Denies Re-
ports of Friction Over Pro-
posed Changes.

Reorganization Of the government
departments and agencies, which was
begun early in the present admins
tration, was one of the more impor-
tant topics brought up for discussion
during the cabinet meeting at the
White House today. 1t was learned
following the meeting that the sub
tect was introduced by Secretary of
Interior Fall. who said he wished to
take occasion to deny printed reports
that there was friction between him.
Secretary of Navy DENLY and Chair
man Walter Brown of the committee
engaged in making plans for the re-
organization
Secretary Fall stated that he has
had no dealings with Mr.. Brown re-
garting the reorganization plans; that
he has met him only once and then
they talked for only five or ten min
utes. He said he had no idea of
placing any obstacles in the pathway
of those engaged in the reorganiza-.
ton planning. He stated that he is
in hearty sympathy with the general
idea and, as far as his department is
concerned. he is very willing that the
pension bureau. the patent office and
the bureau of education should be re-
moved from the jurisdiction of the
Interior Department and placed where
they belong.
Secretary Fall is, however, extreme
ly anxious for the placing of the for
estry bureau, which now is under the
Department of Agriculture. under the
Department of Interior. He explained
that the nature of the work of this
agency is such that rightfully places
ii with his department.
Secretary of the Navy Denby stated
that he has done or said nothing that
would give the impression that there
was friction between his department
and Chairman Brown. He said he has
met Mr.. Brown only once, and then
only for few minutes.

'P[AN LARGE HOTEL
| At 18TH AND KSTS.
F. H. Smith Co. Seek Exten-
sion of 11O-F0ot Limit to
Permit Construction.

Plans for the erection of a large ho-
tel at the northwest corner of 18th
and X streets northwest. the cost of
which it was indicated will run into
millions of dollars. were disclosed
yesterday when officials Of the F. H.
Smith Company of this city appeared
before the District Zoning Commits
sion for the approval of the project.
The promoters asked the commits
limit zone to include the site for the
proposed building. This maximum
height limit at present ends across
the street, at the northeast corner
of the intersection, so that under
present zoning regulations a building
erected. The request OF the company
for permission to construct 11o-foot
hotel would indicate that a ten-story
edifice Is contemplated.
Details Are Undisclosed.
The actual promoters of the huge
enterprise wefe not disclosed in the
hearing, nor were details Of the prof.
ect made known to the commission.
In view of the fact that the Smith
company in the past has financed a
number of large hotel and apartment
operations for local and out-of-town
interests leads to the belief that the
firms connection with the proposed
hotel is of the same character.
Some time ago it was reported from
reliable out-of-town source that
one of the leading chain hotel cor
porations, having headquarters in New
York and London. would erect a large
hostelry at 18th and K streets north
west The F. H. Smith Company
would not make any statement in
this connection, however, and they
refused today to divulge any details
further than those given out in the
hearing. pending decision of the COM
mission.
In the hearing yesterday represent
atives of the company were asked
why they deemed it necessary to make
their building ITO feet high rather
than IS feet 1t was stated in re-
profitable on the shorter height.
The site selected for the hotel is
the old Warder property, which it
was announced several months ago
the F. H. Smith Company had pur-
chased. The property includes a
large residence and outbuildings. The
location is considered ideal for hotel
purposes, overlooking as it does Nc
Pherson Square and fronting on X
street, which is unusually wide
throughout its length.
If the commission rules favorably
on the request of the promoters, en-
abling them to proceed with their
plans, X street will be the scene of
two large hotel operations at one
time, the other being scarcely more
than a block away, at the northeast
corner of 14th and K streets. whore
the new Hamilton Hotel is going up
This building is to be eleven stories
high, with $40 rooms and baths. The
F. II. Smith Company arranged for
the financing of the latter project.
