BRITISH IN PROTEST
ON GUN ELEVATION
Declare Change Would Be
Breach of Treaty.

London.-Great Britain regards the
elevation of guns on capital warships,
as proposed by the United States and
Japan, as a breach of the Washington
treaty on disarmament, Arthur Pom
sonby, undersecretary for foreign af-
fairs, declared in the house of COM
mons. Representations to the United
States and Japan have already been
made in regard to this matter, Mr..
Ponsonby said. The matter was
brought up by a questioner on the
floor Of the house.
Washington.-Gre Britain's protest
against the elevation of the large guns,
as well as the modernization program
Of the navy, will at least bring to a
head the question of altering ships or
making minor changes in their func-
tons, officials believe. They intimated
that it would be necessary to give
much thought to the controversy be-
fore replying to Great Britain.
Decision on the question before the
return from Europe of Secretary
Hughes and conferences between him
and President Coolidge was regarded,
however, as at least unlikely.
A change in the elevation of the
main batteries of first-line warships
was included in a warship moderniza-
ton program recommended to congress
by President Harding in December,
1922 In a memorandum which accom-
panied Mr.. Harding's proposal, Secre-
tary DENLY declared that the work
proposed was of major and vital Inn
portance in national defense"

WHEAT MONEY
FLOODS BANKS
Institutions of Southwest
Gain Millions in New De-
posts by Farmers.

Kansas City, Mo.-Country bank
ers of the Southwest are clamoring
by mail and personally among Kansas
City banks for commercial paper and
other outlets for their rapid accumula-
lions of new wheat money. The move
ment of new wheat in the Southwest
has only started, but already the
banks of Kansas City alone have eff
fected an increase of $20,000,000 in
their country bank deposits. The har-
vest is SO much greater than expected
and the prices being paid for wheat
so much higher that new wheat money
is flowing into the Southwest in a
volume exceeding the happiest dreams
of farmers and bankers.
One of the largest banks in Kansas
City had $22,0OO,O00 in country bank
deposits prior to the Inauguration of
the new wheat movement; today its
country bank deposits are in excess Of
$30,000000. Another large bank has
gained $5,000,0O0 in country bank de-
posits in this period.
what shall 1 say?" This question
was asked by an official of one of the
larger banks here In considering a re-
ply to a country banker who had sent
a second letter clamoring for COM
nercial paper or other loans that
would provide an outlet for $4,000
of new wheat money. While he was
considering an answer to this request,
another letter came to his desk from
a country bank that it desired to in
crease it's application for the pur-
chase of commercial paper, grain
loans or other investments from $780,
600 to $4,000.
From the receiver of country bank
near Dodge City, which is in the Kan
sas district having the best wheat
crops in history, one leading bank
of Kansas City has been advised that
the paper it holds against that in
stitution will be paid In full with in
terest. The amount due is $4,000
plus interest. When the bank near
Dodge City failed, the Kansas City
correspondent bank told the receiver
not to press the farmers to pay off
in order to effect a rapid liquidation.
Let them make crop" the Kan
sas City bank wrote. Nature and the
farmers did the rest, and the Kansas
City bank will not lose a cent

Says Present-Day JeUs
Not IsraeLite "Children'

London.-Lieut. Col. T. S. Beau
champ Williams gave a new theory of
the origin of the Jewish people in
the house of commons in the course
of the debate on the budget for Pal
estine. He said the present Jews were
descendants of the Chazara, Mon
golian people, who had large and
powerful state i'll south Russia, and
not descendants of the children of
Israel" The Chazara, he said, were
converted to Judaism in the Ninth
century and conquered by the first
rulers of Russia. His studies for 2S
years as a physician in Russia, he
said, had convinced him the present
day Jews were the descendants of
proselytes belonging TO various races.
