TOXIC, Dec. Is (By The Associated
Press The retention by the United
States under the agreement on naval
limitation Of the battleships Colorado.
Washington and Maryland has called
forth violent protests on the part Of
several of the vernacular newspapers.
The "Asihi," under the caption of
"The Selfish Washington Conference"
attacks the japanese delegates for
their failure to maintain the 40"
ratio. 1t also scores the powers for
their alleged insincere attitude.
The "Yorozu Choho" asserts the ac-
ceptance of the naval ratio has been
to the detriment of Japan. The "Ko-
kumin Shimbun" declares the confer
ence has prepared for war instead Of
peace.
A mass meeting held to-day under
auspices Of the Anti-American Young
Mems League passed resolutions op-
posing the decisions arrived at by the
conference. There were numerous
speeches in denunciation of the agree
ments reached.
A proposed demonstration before the
American Embassy was prevented by
tho police, who seized numerous
leaflets containing the words of song,

fusing Postponement

VIENNA, Dec. ia great meeting
Of protest was held to-day against the
Odcnburg plebiscite. The speakers de-
nounccd the Allied military commig-
sion as pro-Hungarjan for having re-
fused to postpone the vote on the
question Of whether the territory
should remain Hungarian or become
Austrian after the postponement had
been sanctioned by the inter-Allied
Commission at Paris
The "Neue Freie Presse" quoted Gem
eral Carlo Ferraris, of the Italian Mis-
sion, as saying that Hungary refused
to consent to the postponement, and
also as declaring that if Austria per-
sists in her refusal to recognize the
plebiscite it will be regarded as a casus
belli. The official figures show that
the vote was 65 per cent in favor of
Hungary.
Burgenland, Of which Odenburg is
the chief city, is strip OF west
Hungary that was ceded to Austria by
the Treaty of Trianon. Hungary re-
sisted Austrian attempts to carry out
the cession by force Of arms, and
through Italian Intervention plebis-
cite was arranged to decide the terri
tory's future.
