FRENCH SEA RATIO is BEING
REVISED TO FIT u. S. PLAN

and withhold comment on the French
proposal until the atmosphere clears
a bit. French spokesmen were less
considerate of British feelings, and
frankly INDUCED in some rather bitter
criticisms of the methods which they
alleged the British delegates had en-
ployed to "humiliate France
French versions regarding British
ventures in this respect ranged from
the positive declaration that the Brit
ish delegates had excluded the repre-
sentatives OF Fraucs from tba 5cr-
ference between the United States,
Great Britain and Japan over capital
ship ratios to the insinuation that
their neighbors across the English
Channel had set about destroying the
friendship between the United States
and France.
The British delegates made no re-
plies TO these charges. The only
statement that came from them was
a denial that they had committed any
breach of etiquette In communicating
TO the public the general scope of the
French naval request concerning
which the French delegates would not
give any information. The British
concurred in the view of the Ameri-
can delegates that the French claims
would either be withdrawn or greatly
modified, to conform with the ''rea-
sonable program" acceptable by the
italian delegation.
On one point all of the delegates at
the conference were in accord. This
was the ODiniOn that hone Of raach-
ing final agreements before the Christ
mas holidays had been abandoned.
The American delegates declined to
speculate as to the probable duration
of the conference. They conceded the
probability OF a recess on Thursday
over the Christmas holidays, even if
acceptance by the French of the naval
program based on the Hughes for
mula is received tomorrow or
Wednesday.

American Impulse stimulated.

The dispatch adds that the British
Prime Minister had hoped to get Ameri-
can cooperation but abandoned the idea
because he had been advised that the
United states was not ready to consider
matters involving the war debts: and
until an initiative comes from the
United states Il was held incompatible
with British dignity and self-respect to
invite the American creditor to con-
ference on this subject
If those statements bear any relation
10 the views OF the British Government
such views would be certain TO commend
themselves 10 American public opinion
Nothing could do more to facilitate
eventual American cooperation with
Europe than the feeling that European
Governments were trying TO remove dis
cords and 70 set their own houses in
order. Just as any suspicion that Europe
may be waiting for the United States to
lift the ramshackle European wagon out
American Initiative. lest too great an
effort be required OF the United States.
so any sign that European nations are
putting their shoulders to their own
wheels. and that the wagon may not be
so ramshackle after all, stimulates the
American impulse 70 lend a hand.
But for the moment the American
business Is with the Washington confer
ence. and tho Washington conference
has been held UP by the French naval
demands However rapidly the differ
ences arising out Of these demands may
be composed, e will probably be found
that the siackenng of the pace Of the
conference has encouraged resistance in
ether quarters. Signs Of japanese OBJ
duracy on tho Shantung railway ques-
! tion are becoming uupleasanuy frequent.
They viii doubtless disappear II the
| French naval difficulty is rapidly over
come But no Power represented at the
conference should im3gine for a moment
/ that IL can depart from the spirit I'm
which the conference was convened and

the Kiaou Chou Tsinanfu Railway sys-
tenn.
While the nineteenth day of these
deliberations yielded no definite con-
clusions. the American delegates said
that "the negotiations are progressing
favorably." They intimated that as
soon es the assent OF France to the
naval program had been reached con-
clusions regarding Asiatic and Pacific
matters would "move speedily and in
satisfactory manner"
There were no indications at the
meeting of the naval committee
of fifteen. which is trying to complete
the naval ratios for France and Italy
TO fit into the scheme already agreed
10 by the United States, Great Britain
and Japan that the French delegates
would either withdraw or modify their
request for authority to construct a
navy which is regarded to be out OF all
proportion with it's capital ship neces-
sites.
Delegates from this and other eoun
tries participating In the conference
expected clear and definite statement
from VI. Sarraut and Admiral de Bon
regarding the French claim and were
prepared to meet it with counter pro-
posals more in accord with the Hughes
ratio formula. The French statement
was not forthcoming. Instead Of sub
hitting one, NJ. Sarraut merely COM
municated the information that he had
Informed his Government as to exist
ing conditions and requested instruc-
tions.
Sarraut's Request Granted.
He said that up to the moment he
had not received any reply. He there
fore suggested an adjournment of the
committee until tomorrow. His re-
quest was granted and the capital
ship program set aside for twenty
four hours.
The American delegates persisted in
the policy of refraining from discuss
ing the French proposal that the naval
structure already agreed upon by the
United States, Great Britain and
Japan be revised to make allowance
for the maximum privileges sought
by France. There is no question that
they viewed the French request in
this respect with complete disfavor;
nor did they deny that they had tele-
graphed remonstrance to NJ. BRAND
at London through Ambassador Har-
vey. The French delegates and offi-
cials of their mission expressed great
surprise at the report that Secretary
Hughes had resorted to direct nego-
tiations with their Premier instead of
comforting with NJ. Sarraut and Am
bassador Jusserand.
The American delegates. while de-
clining to confirm the London dis
patch stating that Ambassador Har-
vey had urged NJ. BRAND to withdraw
Or radically modify the program sub
mitted by NJ. Sarraut and Admiral de
Bon. asserted that such n step would
not involve any breach of diplomatic
etiquette or propriety. The London
press kilograms relating to the con-
ference between Ambassador Harvey
and NJ. BRAND were therefore ac-
cepted as correct. The information
was obtained from State Department
officials that Mr.. Hughes had decided
to appeal directly to NJ. BRAND only
after he had been advised by M. Sar-
raut and Amba ssador Jusserand that
they were without power TO accept
the American suggestion for modify
ing the French naval request until
they received instructions from NJ.

Mr.. Collins reviewed events that took
place in the last Dali Cabinet meeting
before the Irish plenipotentiaries re-
turned TO London. He said they left
that meeting with decisions. or impress
sions, which they did their best to carry
out. The issue was limited to the fol-
lowing Tuesday and he declared it must
be obvious that there was no further
time for referring thes lat develop
ments back to the home Government.
He read the correspondence that pre-
ceded the negotiations. showing that Mr..
Lloyd George had expressly barred rec
ognition of the Irish rpublic. Yet. he
said, the delegates were chosen and

Asperities Softened.

The question has now been transferred
from the Naval Disarmament Commit
tee of fifteen members to the Grand
Naval Committee, which all the princi-
pal delegates attend. The Grand Com
mittee was to have met this morning
Bon would place before it a somewhat
less startling Interpretation of the
French claims than was put forward on
Friday. But, instead the committee ad-
journed until tomorrow.
A friendly interchange OF views took
place during the weekend between some
of the chief delegates. 1t should have
helped to soften asperities and to pre-
pare the way for harmonious discussion.
Moreover. the leading French delegates
may by this time have perceived
how sorely they have been misled
throughout the conference in regard to
the degree in which America would be
disposed unquestioningly to comply with
French claims or suggestions. Provided
that instructions from NJ. BRAND faclli-
tate readjustment of the French pro-
posals the conference may therefore
safely surmount the most dangerous
episode that has hitherto marked its
proceedings.
Pending developments here. the news
from London is being eagerly scanned.
A despatch to one prominent American
journal suggests that, in addition TO
moratorium for German reparation pay
ments, the British Prime Minister Will
submit TO VI. BRAND the following gen
efal propositiong.
1--England to forego her claim on
the German indemnity. except in re-
gard to services which Germany
alone can render.
2-Great Britain TO cancel the
French war debt. provided she re-
ceive an equivalent amount in Ger
man indemnity bonds. which she
would also cancel.
3-The Anglo-French Entente to
be recast in the form Of an alliance
under which France would reduce
armaments and undertake not. to
build against England at sea, and
England would guarntee France
against attack.

ALLEGED PLOT
To WRECK ROAD
BASIS FOR SUIT
Directors Accused of Entering
Into Conspiracy That
Ended in Bankruptcy

NEW YORK, Nov. 81. - Suit for
the recovery of 5000, 200, wnicn, Il
is alleged, is the loss sustained by
the Denver and Rio Grande railroad
as a result of an alleged unlawful
combination and conspiracy by men
who served on the directorate of the
railroad during the past 1V years,
was started today in the supreme
court.
The men named as conspirators in
the complaint, which was made by a
committee % stockholders,
George j. Gould, Edward T. Jeffrey,
Arthur Coppell, Edwin y,Uulu, Ming
don Could, Edgar l.. Marston, BenJa-
min F. Bush, Edward l.. Brown, Ed
ward ID. Adams, Finley. j. Shepard,

Aipin, George G. Haven, Henry L.
Nudge, James Horace Harding, Harry
Bronner. Charles c. Huitt, John H.
McClement, Alvin w. Krech and Al
exander r. Baldwin. The Denver and
Rio Grande Railroad company also
is named defendant.
This action is the climax TO eff
forts that stockholders have Deen
making for nine years towards hav-
ing finances OF the company investi-
gated.
In 1920, the stockholders protec-
tive committee was organized and
the suit is the result of its efforts.
In its complaint, the stockholders
committee asserts that for many
years the railroad carried on pros
porous business and from 1900 to 1910
paid preferred dividends in full. The
complaint alleges that In 1915 the
defendants entered into conspiracy
to wreck the d. & X, G., and To cause
all its properties to be absorbed and
wiped out.
The first STEP the complaint says,
was taken when the alleged .conspira-
tors, directors of both the Missouri
Pacific and the Denver and Rio
Grande, caused the latter to default
a mortgage interest payment to the
Western Pacific, although the road
had funds to meet it. BY this action
and succeeding ones, the directors
caused foreclosure proceedings to be
instituted against the Rio Grande, it
adds.
In one protest sent to the directors,
the stockholders committee wrote:
During the last few months. di-
rectors and officers of the Denver
and Rio Grande have been mute and
lmmovable while death blow was
being dealt the company. They have
supinely allowed properties of tire
mendous value, doubtless worth $780,
100000, to be sold for $4,000 900. UNI
der a defective and unintelligible. no.
tice of sale, whereby assets worth
millions OF dollars were not re-
Vealed.'
Stock of the railroad was stricken
from the New York stock exchange
last August. Shortly before this, the
stock was selling at less than 81 Il
share. The stock was removed from
the exchange after notice was receiv-
ed from the secretary of the road
that the property had been transferr-
ed to the Missouri Pacific
The complaints ask that the defend
ants be required to maze iesuuu;,on
for all moneys wrongfully Invested
and for all losses that the railroad
and its stockholders have incurred.
