UNITED STATES GOES
AHEAD WITH SHIPS

LONDON. Dec. II Omitted Press)
Great Britain has decided to build
two capital ships. Premier Bonar
Law announced in the House of
Commons today
The Premier pointed out that two
new battleships were allowed Britain
under the Washington arms treaty.
WASHINGTON, Dec. II Omitted
Press) In announcing TO the House
of Commons today that Great Bri-
tain would construct two new dread
naughts, Premier Bonar Law is taxi
ing advantage of a provision of the
naval limitation treaty of the Wash
ington conference which allows the
British empire and the United States
to build two ships during the ten
year naval holiday.
Tins provision was inserted as the
result of Japan's insistence that she
be allowed to complete and retain
her most powerful snip. the Mutsu.
The United States already has an
nounced that she would complete the
two new ships TO which she is en-
titled to under the treaty. These
will be the Colorado and the Wash
ington. Upon their completion the
treaty calls for the scrapping OF the
North Dakota and Delaware.
Great Britain. upon the compile
ton OF the ships which Bonar Law
today announced would he built.
must scrap four battleships-the
Thundered. the Ajax. the Centurian
and King George V.
The new vessels OF Great Britain
are limited by the treaty to $4,000
tons. a tonnage slightly under that
called by in the most modern plans
of battleship builders.
This figure was insisted upon by
the United States in Washington
because it represents the
largest vessels that can pass through
the Panama Canal.

dent of the Wilmington Board of

State Board OF Education. Comment
ing today on the Alumni movement,
he said:
Il do not know when l was more
pleased with an educational move
ment since my connection with school
work than l was last Saturday in at
tending the meeting OF the High
School alumni. This most important
organization has become almost eX-
tinct-much TO the discouragement
and chagrin of those, who through
their efforts, had hoped as in years
past 10 become members and re-
ceive the congratulations. encourage
ment and adieu OF those who had
preceded them in further educa-
tional pursuits or business ventures" "
DIR. Speer addressed the meeting
fully explaining that he was sure
that the football team of 1922 would
have been successful II they had the
proper backing and announcement.

Clemenceau Says u. S
Can't Have Market If
Isolated
HIS MISSION NOT
OFFICIAL, HE SAYS

CHICAGO. Dec. II Omitted Press)
American farmers must see that the
treaty of Versailles is enforced il
they want a market for their wheat
Georges Clemenceau declared today
in his final address in America.
Speaking before the American
Farm Bureau, the Tiger" former
Premier of France, declared that
America must have foreign markets
for its crops but will not have them
if isolated.
Russia, Austria. Germany and
France are hungry but can't eat. -
he declared. 1--WE have no money
because our friends did not do what
was necessary to make Germany
pay.
I'VE need American wheat. Only
about one year in ten do we produce
sufficient grain for our needs. We
would like to buy from you the
other nine but of course whether
we will or not is not for me to say.
Peace in Europe will be assured
if the treaty of Versailles is en-
forced.
IF not in the years to come there
will be a great cry of too late, too
late"
Clemenceau said he was going
home, having carried out his mis-
sion.
L am here on no official busi-
ness" he said, but I came as a mis-
sion for my conscience Whatever
you decide, my heart Is with you. Ma
tions must make mistakes, and if
you make a mistake, and later
realize it, I am sure you will be
quick in repairing it"
Clemenceau declared that France
wanted none of the German territory
on the left bank of the Rhine. He

F. Thompson and Melvin J.. Friend.
Negroes. of New Castle. turned on
the two who had waited on them
with accusations that they had been
robbed within the store. and then
proceeded to disrupt the peaceful
aspect of the place
These charges were made in
Municipal Court this morning by
Edmund L. Knoth and Bertha Gold
berger, clerks in the store, when
the New Castle Negroes were given
a hearing ,oD charges of disorderly
conduct.
Thompson and Friend, who is the
son-in-law of the former, according
to the testimony had been on a visit
to Chester and were waiting for a
bus TO New Castle when Friend de-
cided that he would make use OF
his time by trying TO find an over
coat to suit him. The two went to
LEWIS store.
Miss Goldberger first undertook to
try to sell the Negro an overcoat.
She was unable to please him and
requested Knoth to endeavor to sat
isfy him. Knoth, too failed. The two
Negroes started to leave.
Running his hand into his pockets,
Friend shouted. i've lost all my
money; 1 had it when came here;
they must have gotten it from me
right here
Thompson then dug into his pock-
cts and exclaimed. My moneys
gone, too
The Negroes then started to jos
tie the clerks and cry out that they
had been robbed. Much of the con-
tents of the store was turned topsy-
turvy Knoth locked the doors and
called the police station. Miss Gold |

INTO the house part Of the building
The two Negroes still insisted that
hey had lost their money in the
store. The patrol wagon shortly ar
lived and the two men were taken I

Friend told the court this morn |
ng that his money was not in his |
pockets when he searched them in
he store but that just before he ar
lived at the police station, he found

that the voting for President be tax
sn with the Congressional district
instead Of the state as unit
At present il the Democrats carry
the state by narrow margin they
obtain all the electoral votes OF that
state. Under Bryan's plan IL the
Republican Presidential candidate
would carry one-third OF the Con-
gressional districts of a State he
would receive one-third OF the cleo
toral votes Each candidate would
receive one vote from every Con-
gressional district he carried instead
OF big block OF votes for every
State.
Although generally recognized as
the father of the constitutional
amendment for direct election OF
Senator. Bryan said he did not ad-
vocate a direct election of President
in the sense that victory be given to
the candidate with the largest num-
her Of popular votes. Direct popular
election would encourage ballot box
stufBng in States where one party or
the other is dominant.
The great objection to the pres
ent method" said Bryan in a brief
stop here between trains, 'is the
preponderant influence Il gives TO
few big states II New York or
Pennsylvania is carried by a few
votes those few votes carry with
them a large number of electoral
votes.
I think It would be much bet
ter to make the Congressional dis
trict a unit instead OF the State
This would be a much longer step
toward popular elections than the
proposed plan Of the Progressive
bloc in Congress.
This would be as near to the
popular election as we could get
without incurring the danger in
volved in a system that would allow
each vote TO be counted directly.
THE danger of such a system will
be the ballot box stufing in States
where one party IS absolutely dom
snant and the opposition not strong
enough 10 watch the count"
Under Bryan's plan for instance !
the Democrats would pick up few
Presidential votes in Pennsylvania, a |
Republican stronghold. A few
Congressional districts in that state /
generally go Democratic The Dem /

solid block Of votes from Tennessee
