LONDON, Nov. 20.-Unless the
United states shoulders the burden OF
world finance only miracle can
avert the financial catastrophe which
is ever drawing nearer. the Sunday
Times declares IN its editorial columns
this morning.
The newspaper regards the limitation
Of ornaments as an accomplished fact,
for which it gives credit to the United
States. and passes on to its discussion
Of finance with the remark that It is
hoped the American people will dis
play equal courage and foresight in
coping with the vastly more imminent
menace OF world finance.
America alone can stabilize credit
by devising some scheme for financing
the nations lowering on the brink of
insolvency" 1t says, under the caption

mo one for a moment imagines that
Germany Is able to pay 5oo.0o0.000
gold marks on January To-" the edi-
torial continues. TN the event Of her
failure to do SO, the difficulties to
French finance may prove insuper-
able. and If France follows Germany
into Bankruptcy the crash may, well
bring down the whole ediflce of Euro
pean credit.
in such event the United States will
suffer incalculable losses. The only
way out is for America to observe the
precedent set by the Bank of England

Such, for instance would be the Chi-

territorial Jurisdiction. There is a
prospect that provisions will be made

TOWED TO NAVAL BASE
NV The Associated Press)

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 20.-Officers
and crew Of the U. S. oiler Alameda,
which caught fire off Cape Henry late
yesterday and was abandoned, were
brought to the naval operating base
here tonight by the coast guard cutter
Manning. which with other vessels
went to the assistance of the Alameda.
Fire aboard the oiler was under
under control early yesterday morn
ing, and the vessel viii be towed to
Norfolk. The blaze started IN an oil
tank, it was said at the naval base,
and when rescuers reached the scene
was a blaze aft. Because OF a stiff
northerly gale, naval tugs towed the
Alameda northward for several hours
SO that the flames would be carried to
the stern, instead of spreading for
ward. 1t was said the Alameda was
in no danger OF singink.
The crew left the Alameda in small
boats in a choppy sea, and was taken
aboard by the steamship Palloa, and
later was transferred 70 the Manning

PLUMB TAKES SHOT
AT THE RAILROADS
Declares They Have Become, Under
Private Ownership, Financial and
Moral Bankrupts.
by The Associated Prsss)

CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-Under private
ownership the railroads have become
financial, physical, mental and moral
banbrupts who obey neither the laws
Of God nor man." Glenn r.. Plumb,
special attorney for the railroad labor
brotherhoods, told the conference of
the Public Ownership League of Amer
lea in an address tonight.
1.-THE roads have incurred financial
obligations of $4,000, 000," said Mr..
Plumb, they have impoverished the
public and after being given $4,000, Ooo,-
900 of public funds say they must have
more. That shows them financially
bankrupt
"They are physically bankrupt be-
cause millions Of dollars worth Of
equipment and rolling stock is going
to waste through lack of repairs and
attention.
"A mental bankrupt entertains delu-
sions and hallueinations, denies exist
ing facts and affirms that which can
not exist. The railroads entertain de-
lusions of being possessed of great
wealth. They deny the existence of
the law of conservation Of energy and
affirm they can take more out than
they have in. They believe they can
repeal the laws Of nature, and thus
are mentally bankrupt.
''They are moral bankrupts because
they are trustees who disregard their
trust This was shown when they per-
suaded congress to pass the Esch-
Cummins act and then used it as a
means Of private gain at the expense
Of those for whom they exercise a
trust"

TONNAGE LOGICAL
BASIS FOR RATIO
Position Of Japan Set Forth as that of
Dissemination to Attain Favor
able Agreement.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2o.-As a re-
suit Of the conference yesterday be-
tween Secretary Hughes, Mr.. Balfour
and Admiral Baron Kato, at which the
naval question was thoroughly can
vassed in the light Of the Japanese
reservations the greatest confidence
was expressed in authoritative Japa-
nese circles tonight that an accord
eventually would be reached. The con-
ference, 1t was said, effectually
cleared the air" Of many misunder-
stood points
While no official statement was
forthcoming as to the line followed by
the triparte discussion yesterday, It
was believed that a partial explana-
ton, at least. lay in the statement Sc
cured at the headquarters of one dele
cation that the three great naval pow
ers might have varying estimates of
the actual existing strength of their
navies which, being harn1onized, might
suggest way to a settlement of ra-
tios"
The position OF Japan was set forth
tonight as that Of determination to at
ain a favorable agreement. Japanese
experts were emphatic in declaring
that tonnage and not consideration Of
speed and armament was the logical
basis Of ratio disp1acements. They
pointed out that battle cruiser might
possess greater speed but that she was
inferior to a dreadnAught in strength
Of armor and number of guns and that
I'm a naval engagement at close quar-
ters would certainly be at q disadvant-
age. Therefore. the fact that British
and Japanese capital ships included
battle cruisers was not to them an in
dication Of superiority and should not
be counted as such, they insisted
Japan has no positive program con-
cerning the general question OF China
which viii be discussed this week, it
was learned today, but as various
points are presented, Japan will ex-
plain her position as clearly as pos
sib1e. In japanese circles, some anxi-
ETY. was apparent tonight as to the con-
crete questions which China might
bring before the conference. Empha-
sis was laid on the Japanese conten-
ton that the Chinese delegates repre-
sent only the PelSing government.
which does not control a great part Of
China, and that the delegates there

pie as a whole.

street railway company. To the mer- chants and business interests of the city this matter becomes one of far reaching effect and gravity. Should the street railway company fail to maintain service during the unprofi- table hours of the day when shoppers chiefly patronize the cars, the loss to the merchants in trade would be quickly felt. To measure with exact ness the. damage to the citys best business interests arising from the increasing number of jitneys now op- erating is practically impossible. Yet in the foregoing review of the sub iect will be found ample grounds to justify the belief that the jitney Is of no lasting benefit to the city and at its best is of but scant and temporary benefit to those who at this time are deriving a meagre and unsatisfactory livelihood from the traffic.
 It is therefore the recommendation of this committee that the city com mssioners undertake to dispose of this system of transportation in a
