America Trying to Reach
Compromise with Great
Britain on Tonnage.

GENEVA, July 5.-The Ameri-

total tonnage figures for cruisers
at the secret session of the Naval

Although official confirmation
is lacking, it is understood the

promise and in an attempt to
meet Great Britain's expressed
needs for cruisers, has suggested
an increase in the maximum ton.
mage for Great Britain and the
United Staets of 100000 tons.
This proposal is 100000 more
than indicated in the original
American maximum proposal and
roughly corresponds to the exist

1t is indicated that Japan's re-
quest for an unrestricted number
of small submarines will be re-
fused and that Japan must be
content with a slightly increased
submarine tonnage though within
the maximum total suggested by
the United States.
