Collapse of Naval Confer
ence Averted-British
to Make Proposals.
CRUISER TONNAGE
ISSUE RE-OPENED
Great Britain May Accept
Proposition Made by
United States.

GENEVA, July 1.-THE tragic
death of Keyin O'Higgins, Irish
statesman, has by some strange
destiny of events, served to pre-
vent any immediate collapse of
the Naval Conference.
Out of respect to the memory
of O'Higgins, who was present at
the Conference last week, the
delegates decided to postpone in
definitely the plenary public ses-
sion which has been requested
by First Lord of the Admiralty
w. c. Bridgeman, head of the
British delegation.
Bridgeman had asked for the
meeting in order to give the Brit
ish delegation an opportunity to
restate Great Britain's position
on the cruiser problem and to
clear up what he called mis-
understanding and also to ask
a series of questions of the Am
erican delegation.
What is regarded as a Slgnl-
cant change in the British atti-
tude toward the cruiser problem
is indicated when it was an
nouneed in authoritative British
circles that If Great Britain and
the United States could agree to
limit the number of 10,000-ton
cruiser to about 10, Great Bri-
tain will be prepared to accept
the American maximum of a to-
tai tonnage of 100000 tons.
The idea back of the plan is
that if only a small proportion OF
tonnage were expended upon
larger cruisers, Great Britain will
have enough tonnage left tc
maintain number of small
cruisers which she regards as
necessary for the needs of the
British Empire.

Rammed Earth Houses Old Construction Type

cording to the Pathfinder Magazine.

Of construction. The writings Of
Pliny state that watch towers of this
material constructed by Hannibal
were used $50 years after completion.
This method of construction was In
troduced into France by the Romans.
so the story goes. and later was
adopted In England. In the United
States there are q few examples of
buildings that have been constructed
of rammed earth. One Of the build
