Imperial Defense Sub

12-Month Abstention.

The WaxhinFtSn Esrax


LONDON, Feb. 3.-The draft OF
the report Of the imperial defense
subcommittee has been completed
and it recommends sbstention from
a big shipbuilding program for a
period OF twelve months.
1t is learned that the object OF
the delay is to give time for omcIsI
negotiations among the United
States, Japan and Great Britain for
a curtailment OF their navies.
Another reason is that the tech
nical advisers Of the British ad-
miralty want time in which to test
new inventions Of a revolutionary
character. The closest secrecy is
maintained over the details but I
understand the inventions concern 4
new type Of warship which will
render super Dreadnaug ghts useless
in future naval warfare.
There will be no action on the
report for several months vet and
at any event the decision Of the
government will need the rstihcB-
tion Of the imperial conference
which is TO be held In June
Meantime, the first lord OF th.
admiralty will request tho hous.-
Of commons to agree to a postpone
ment Of the naval estimates.
Australia and Canada are closely
watching every move in the naval
situation. Senator Z. D. MiIIen.

ALLIES INVITED
WILSON OPINION

The United States was formally
invited to be represented at the
Paris meeting of the allied supreme
council, which has just fixed the
German indemnity at s56,0OO, 100000,
it developed at the State Depart
ment yesterday.
President Wilson felt constrained
to refuse the invitation, officials eX-
planned, because the United States
had not become a party to the treaty
of Versailles.
The allies, however, knew of this
country's position on indemnities,
officials declared. The State Depart
ment considers that the reparations
figure fixed by the allies was en-
tirely too high, and that the terms
of the indemnity decision are i'm
possible of execution.

the measure now and its approval
by President Wilson will enable the

Section Q, to which there was
widespread objection because of the
power il conferred upon the Fed

government, was omitted, and
changes were made in the verbiagt
Of section !, which prescribed fees
and duties of the Commissioner OF
Patents Objections to section 3

called "a joker" were made largely
upon the grounds that it afforded
opportunity to patent examiners
and other employees to take advan-

the Attorney General, is conferring
in New York with the patents COM
mittee of the American Engineering

the clearance of patents in which

tipate In Activities

Activities at the Fairbanks Ath-
letic Association Building on East
ern Avenue, which have been more
or less at a stand still since early

will be re-opened officially for the
winter season. Association mem
bers, employees of the Fairbanks
Company and others, are urged to
come around and participate in the
various activities. A cordial invita-
ton is issued to outsiders to join

st. Johnsbury man.
The House Committee in charge
of the club rooms and the different
activities consist of E. E. Burrows
president; Fred Lavigne, George
Ballou, Samuel Morrison, Aldora
Gauthier, Guy Hawley and Ray
Leonard. These men are all live
wires and working hard to see
that everyone enjoys his member
ship to the fullest extent. One or
more of these members will be on
hand at the building every night
during the week to answer any and
all questions and to see to it tnat
everyone enjoys themselves.
Charlie Hoernle, manager of the
Fairbanks base ball team and foot

be organized and games will be
played as often as is considered
practicable. All members, whether
employees of the scale factory or
not, are eligible for positions on
these teams and are urged to come

class in calesthenics and a gymna-
SUM class be organized and if this
plan meets with the approval of
the members it will be inaugural
ed. Mr.. Hoernle will have charge
of these classes. These classes
should prove very interesting the
TO the majority of men.
Rest and reading rooms are open
nightly to the members. The very
latest magazines may be procured.
The checker fiends will find fine
set of checkers for their use. TAX
ing everything into consideration
