| Of DECLARE DELEGATES
Ten-Year Naval Holiday Is Provided For
In Outline of Agreements Submitted
to Conference Which Went Into Ses-
sion Yesterday-Powers Are Startled,
by Associated Press)

Washington, Nov. I2-More drastic and far
raching than the most ardent advocates of disarm
ment dared to hope, America proposals were sud-
|&ny laid before the arms conference TODAY at its
first session by Secretary Hughes
ten-year naval holiday is the proposal in short
land the United States, Great Britain and Japan shall
sap Sixty-Six capital ships aggregating I,878o4s
lions within three months after the conclusion of an
|sgeement the United States would have IS capital
| 6ps Great Britain - and Japan TO- The tonnage
|fhe three nations respectively would under such
| plan be 5oO65O, 6O4,45O and oo,7OO.
| Ships when twenty years old might be replaced
Under the plan and the Feplaeernents scheme IS 5oo
eo tons for the United States, 100000 for Great
Britain and 100000 for Japan.
No replacement vessels shall exceed $4,000 tons.
The United States would scrap 80 capital ships
|ggregatng 843,74O tons; Great Britain 10 aggre~
Iphng 583,375 tons and Japan II aggregating 49,,
Stons The figures include old ships to be scrap
IM ships building or for which material has been
f@embled
Characterized by Baron Kato, the chief Japanese
|egate, as very drastic" but probably suitable as
basis for discussion and by Mr.. Balfour, head of the
british delegation as "a stateSmanlike utterance,
|ngnant with infinite possibilities and most hopeful
|fatSfactory results THE American proposal con-
|qee and detailed fell on the opening moments of
|e great conference like bombshell. The foreign
|fegateS were stunned. No other word deScrlbes|
|her feelings.
The principal features of the American plan pro-
posed:
That for not less than ten years competitive naval
guiding cease as between Great Britain, the United
|tates and Japan.
That all capital ships building or planned pei
trapped and few recently placed in the water be
|6oyed within three months of ratification OF the
Egeement.
That the older ships of each fleet also be DESTROYED

That during the agreement no capital craft be

Eheme included in the proposal which would pro-
(de for ultimate equality of the British and Amer
fleets and for Japanese force at 90 per cent OF
|earength of the other two.

ornaments"
These are the outstanding features
of the sweeping challenge that Sec
retary Hughes presented to the other
naval powers. There was complete
detail covering every phase of the
question but the essence of the pro-
posal lay this: That the United States
offered to go far beyond what she
asked Great Britain or Japan to do,
viewed from the absolute financial
losses involved. The whole Ameri-
can big ship building program is on
the stocks while Great Britain has
no capital ships under construction
and the Japanese "eight and eight"
program is as yet largely on paper.
In opening the conference today,
the President said:
The Presidents Address
at is a great and happy privilege
to bid the delegates to this confer
ence a cordial welcome to the capital
of the United States of America. 1t
is nuot only satisfaction to greet
you because we were lately partici-
pants in a common cause, in which
we shared the sacrifices and sor-
rows and triumphs which brought
our nations more closely together,
but it is gratifying to address you
as the spokesman for nations whose
convictions and attending actions
have SO much to do with the veal or
woe of all mankind.
'It is not possible to overappraise
the Importance of such a conference.

"One of the principal roadbed troubles comes from 'heaves' caused by being compelled to lay ties on what is in fact glacia, or small stretches of right of way where the stripping of the tundra has not had sufficient time to allow the sun rays :o penetrate to the frozen area be low. In warm weather the gravel gangs were kept busy ballasting as the track subsided. Most of these 'heaves' have been conquered and when the narrow guage is converted into standard gauge little trouble is anticipated"

It is to be hoped that MT. Hughes nomination for the presidency in 1916 will not unfit him for the very important post he will fill as a mem- Der of the Harding cabinet. The in- glorious finish of William Jennings Bryan, as a member of the Wilson cabinet, makes us just little sus- ricious of unsuccessful presidential candidates, but let us hope that Mir. Hughes is not that kind of man.

IN CHARGE TELLS
 ABOUT WORK IN INTERIOR

A recent issue of the Anchorage Times contains the following inter view with Engineer in Charge F. D. Browne, who went to the coast to meet Mrs. Browne and to con-. fer with Chairman Mears:
 According to Mir. Browne, there are about TOO men employed in the Fairbanks section of the road, and these have been laying steel to Mile BAY from the north. At this point it will be necessary to construct 660-foot steel viaduct over Riley creek before grading is continued 70 Mile 345, where the steel extending from the south will arrive about next Thanksgiving day.
 Despite cold weather the ;nterio, crews have been working most of the winter, laying off only when temperatures reach 40 degrees below zero when danger from lung scorch- ing drives them indoors.
 We have been compelled to go ahead said MT. Browne, because to suspend work would entail the necessity of recognizing forces in the spring. and greatly delay con- struction'
 Speaking of prospective condi- tions in the interior, Mir. Browne says that once the Ignite coals be- come available for mining operations it is altogether probable that there will be a marked revival, especially where thawing is necessary. At the present time no effort is being made to establish the coal mining industry aside from supplying the railroad. The steamboat operators on the Tan ana and Yukon have a prejudice against using coal as fuel owing to the danger of sparks, and may re- sort to oil fuel after the wood IS cut beyond hauling distance from the river landings. "In the Totatlanika section, about 30 miles south of Nenana and ten miles east of the railroad, much evil dence of oil is being found, in the form of seepages, but no effort has been made to develop the field. "Mr. Browne believes there will be no spirited revival of business until after the railroad is completed, when with cheaper freight rates and cheaper supplies, conditions in the mining industry may again reach normal.
 lowing to the freezeup, delaying the delivery of steel, it has been necessary to resort to all kinds of expediencies to extend steel as far
 as grade was completed. Sidings were taken up and 'Y's' lifted and the steel transferred.
 "Cut off most of the year from supplies, MT. Browne has built a
 railroad wherein every ingenuity was resorted to, using every piece
 of equipment as long as it would serve and making it serve as many 1 purposes as possible. With steel
 rails costing as much as S12O per
 ton freight and other materials
 equal. Uncle Sam was compelled to
 follow the lead of other sufferers
 from the high cost of living and
 make odds and ends meet. At that
 Mir. Browne has made good, and
 when his portion of the road is
 turned over to the commission il
 will be in good shape for operation

Feeding Alaska Shadow Soup

Feeding the puDuc oH ~i"o P~N ding and shadow soup about Alaska will be the fashionable political amusement for the next few months says the Salem Manufacturer and Industrial News bureau. The depart ments of the interior. agriculture. commerce and what not red tape bureaus will flood the press of the country with showings from official reports on the fabulous wealth of Alaska and all the wonderful serv- ices of the army of bureaucrats and ofice-holders will render to Alaska for the coming years.
 The needs of the Northern terri tory will be dished up in print and all kinds of development proposi- tions by long distance political serv- ice will be aired. but the fact re- mains without a great change in governmental activities, there is no possible development of Alaska. The northern territory needs people and needs private capital, and millions of men and women are ready to go in and develop Alaska if the bureau cracy vii! only take off it's paralyz- ing grip.
 A commission form of govern ment should displace the bureau crat octopus in Washington, D. C., with its hundreds of red tape ten acles reaching across the continent and blocking and thwarting every step that is sought to be taken by anyone for Alaska development. The commission should reside in Alaska composed of not more than three men who have full power to exam inc any proposition for settlement investment or development and full power to act, instead of the years of delays and expense of travelling to Washington with everything fo, approval before a naA can be driver in any undertaking.
 The commission should be com posed of independent Outside mer who know Alaska but de not share the local conflicts of interests ant local jealousies of ore section of the territory against another. Struggles for local advantages or whether the mining or fisheries interests shai pay the bulk of the taxes, or wheth CT the steamship companies or tht fur companies shall be, cinched tho worst will be carried on under any government but stroag independent men with no local or special interes' to serve must be placed on such z home-rule commission and their de cisions must be final, subject onl, to be referred to the proper de partment in Washington.
 In the face of declining popu1a tion, declining mineral and coal out put, destruction of the salmon fish cries and other large natural re sources that are now falling dow, under the creeping paralysis of too much long-distance of6cialism, Alas ka presents a dark outlook for tn future. There must be radica change in the fundamental manage ment of the territory.
