SUBMARINE LIMIT

Washington, Nov. 1G.-(By A. P.)--
British naval thought in Washington

It would go back to the days Of the
Grampus, the Pike, the Viper and the
Tarantula, now carried on navy lists
as the A-3, A-5, B-1 and BIB.
These boats are the oldest in the navy
and are included in the second line

337 submerged.
From that point American second line
submersib'es run up to the MI. dis

Of Oh boats, the smallest Is close to
500 tons on the surface while the largest

BRITAIN REPORTED WILLING
TO DEFEND PHILIPPINES
Agreement Satisfactory 70 Arms
Conference Under Consideration

New York, Nov. 16.-Great Britain
Is reDorted to be wiling to insure the
defense Of the Philippines under some
Far Eastern arrangement which may bc
found satisfactory to the nations rep
resented at the Arms Conference, says
Washington dispatch to the Herald.
America has no naval bases permitting
her easily to defend her Pacific islands.
Britain ia about to establish a naval
base at Singapore. From this base tho
defense of the Philippines can be under
taken. BY her offer Britain has re-
moved a possible obstacle to Mr..
Hughes program for the limitation of
armament.
Great Britain is thought to be un-
willing to abandon the Anglo japanese
alliance. At the same time she desires
to offer guarantees that this alliance is
not directed in any way against Ameri
ca. Her WILLINGNESS to guarantee the
defense of the Philippines is presum-
ably offered as guarantee that she will
not fight against America.

ST. LAWRENCE SHIP
CANAL DENOUNCED
Governor Miller, Of New York,
Tells Waterways Convention
Scheme Is impractical
WASTE OF MONEY, HE AYERS
by the Associated Press

Savannah, Ga, Nov. 16.--Govcrnor
Nathan l.. Miller. of New York, in an
address before the Atlantic Deeper
Waterways Convention today, de-
nounccd the proposed St. Lawrence
ship canal project as involving an un-
warranted expenditure of 5000 ,OUO. 900
by the United States, as criminal
foplishness" in wasting millions sad V
ueedcd for other improvements and as
nm attempt to realize an Impossible
Dream
The Governor declared that the tax
burden would be increased in order 70
promote what was only an experiment
and asserted that the prime NJ .nssity
was to improve first our own ports and
waterways instead of promoting ~ pro-
je' in foreign country. He affirmed
that the New York State barce canal.
If properly utilized. could carry all the
lO.ON.UOO tons of grain which an
nually would seek water outlet from
the west.
Governor Miller said he sympathizcd
with the desires of the Middle West for
better and chcancr transportation, but
that the industries OF the country al
ready were staggering under excessive
taxation and excessive cost of trans
portation.
lie pointed out that Montreal was
lcc-hound for five months in the yea
and cannot then serve the great need.
Of tn" Middle West. which wOu'd then
be manly dependent upon the Gulf and
Atlantic ports. ''The prime necessity
is I" improve our own ports and inland
waterways" he declared.
Governor Miller attacked the plan Of
financing the proposed st. Lawrence
Canal by turning over the water power
developed by it to power interests and
giving them permission to make the
consumers Ct tnat power pay the price,
SAYING: 1T Is indeed generous proD-
tsition Of the Middle Western States
thnt the consumers of power in New
York and New England shall pay for
the construction for a ship canal to
serve the Middle West and divert ship
ping from their own ports.
THE fact is," he said, "that no
unprejudiccd person competent TO speak
believes that ocean going vessels will
ever navigate such waterway. Deep
sea vessels cannot compete with lake
vessels in the Great Lakes. The lake
vessels have three times the capacity of
eep-sea vessels of corresponding draft.
IL costs, under present conditions, three
times as much per ton of capacity to
construct deep-sea vessels. That alone
puts the ocean carrier out of business
on the Great Lakes"

tails of the American reduction plnn
accepted Yesterday in spirit and prin =
ciple by all the Powers.
The meeting Of the naval experts
adjourned at noon, not to resume until
tomorrow. Various phases of the Amer
lean plan were taken under considera =
ton by the individual experts for each
Power preparatory to further commit
tee discussion later.
There were indications that the
naval reduction plan presented by the
American delegation was in itself u
compromise on what American naval
experts had first proposed.
No authoritative pronouncemcnt was
made, but there were intimations that
the most vital element of the plan-the
naval replacement scheme--had hcen
framed by the four American delegates
themselves, all civilians. the origina!
scheme suggested by the American naval
advisers having been regarded as prob
ably unacceptable to Great Britain and
Japan.
1t was the wish Of Secretary Hughes
and his colleagues to propose pro-
gram 20 generous to the other two
Powers that there would be every reason
to expect it's acceptance as evidence OF
American good faith.
American Interests Safesuarded
So fur as the program as presented
goes, some naval officers here see In it

United states without cndangcring the
success of the Conference, but there
seems to be substantial agreement that

guarded. both in the immediate rcduc-
ton proposed and in the ultimate
limitation program.
Now that the matter is back in the
naval experts hands. it seems possible
that the original position Of the Amer.
lean advisers would tend to stiffen their
opposition to any mobilization of the
American replacement proposals they
may regard as disadvantageOus to the
United States.
There is little doubt. for instance.
that the British suggestion for limita.
ton of submarines to non Seagoing,
purely defensive craft, would fall in
this classification under the American
view. 1t is bound to be debated at
great length in any case.

TOXIC PREMIER WAS SOLD
INTO SLAVERY IN B0YH00D
shans shaled While Pennlless In San
Francisco, Merchant Says

Montreal, Nov. 16.-S6ld as a slave
in San Francisco. the new japanese
Premier, Koreklyo Takahashi, has had
remarkable career, according to
Manzo Yoshida, q japanese merchant
in Montreal.
Premier Takahashi is about sixty
years old. and successful business
man, president of the Bank OF Japan
and several times Minister of Finance
there, said Mr.. Yoshida yesterday. But
the future Premier made his appearance
as n youth. He landed In San Fran
cisco, looked for work and at once
landed In the hands Of a labor agent
who sold him to work in mine.
The young miner had been working
some time before Marquis Yuakura.
Japanese Envoy on his way to England
TO buy materials for the first japanese
railway, disembarkcd at San Francisco.
He was told how a Japanese boy had
been sold into slavery, and at once dis
patched his secretary to buy him out.
He also gave young Takahashi enough
money to keep himself and go to school.
He studied ha d. got good education,
and returned to Japan.
Takahashi got into the Bank Of
Japan, a Government institution, which
Mr.. Yoshida explained has similar
standing there to the Bank Of England
at home. In the course Of years he OBJ
tained promotion, until he became
president.
The new Premier is n descendant OF
the Samurai, the japanese military
class, which was taught to regard
money as filthy, so that to this day
there are old folk WHO will not soil their
hands with It., but deal 1t out with q
stick. But he himself Is purely bust.

A Word of Explanation

The Public Service Company feels
that the public is entitled to an ex-
planation of the outage occurring
between seven and eight p. m. Sun
day, February 9Th.
The outage was caused by the fail
ure of the steam plant at Galena, ILL.,
which required about one hour to
repair. All towns fed by the power
house were out of service during this
period. We regret very much that
the outage had to occur at so impor-
tant a time but we feel that it was
unavoidable.
We want our consumers to know
that when accidents like this happen
to our line or plant that the Manage
ment and Employees are straining
every effort to restore service.
