Sought From Germany by
U. S. in Fires and Blasts
in 1916 and 1917.

Ey the Associated Press.
American and German agents plar
to lay the s24,000,O 900 sabotage claims OF
the United States against, the govern
ment of Germany before the mixed
claims commission next Wednesday,
The claims are for damages for fires
and explosions at the Lehigh Valley
Railroad terminal, Black Tom, near
Jersey City, N. j., i'll 1916. and
at the assembly plant of the Canadian
Car e. Foundry Co. at Kingsland, N.
j.. in 1917. In these disasters several
millions of dollars worth of munitions
and other property was destroyed. some
of which was not owned by Americans.
Written evidence which has been col
lected by the two governments since
the claims were filed, in 1922, would
fill several trunks The claimants con-
tentions on the liability of Germany
alone fill 5000 printed pages.
Robert w. Bonynge, American agent,
will present oral arguments for the
plaintiffs, asserting that the explosions
were caused by parties acting on behalf
of the imperial German government as
a part of the efforts of Germany to in
terfere with or prevent sending OF mu-
nitions and other war material to Ger
many's enemies in Europe.
DR.. Karl Won LewinSki, German agent,
will deny responsibility of Germany in
the disasters, claiming that their origin
was due either to spontaneous combus
ton. negligence. or. in the case of the
Kingsland fire, to an industrial accident
or other unknown causes which cannot
be attributed to an act by Germany.

can contribute to peace rather than to
enmity is a most encouraging pact.

JAPANESE URGE
MORE WARSH|PS
Naval Officials Request TO-
1O.7 Ratio to Equal Britain
and United States.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, September 21.-With q pro-
gram of eight 10,000-ton cruisers, each
capable of SO knots and armed with
ten S-inch guns, more than half COM
pleted, high naval authorities OF Japan
are publicly discussing the possibility
that the government will have to lay
down more fighting ships OF this class
in order to keep pace with the United
States and Great Britain.
There has been no thought OF sus-
pending or abandoning work on the
eight new ships. four of which are al
ready af1oat, with the others due to take
to the water within IL months.
1O-1O-7 Ratio to BE Sought.
The public and semi-public utter
ances of naval officers, from Admiral
Takarabe minister of marine, down,
indicate, too, Japan's intention of in
sisting at the next naval conference
ON a ratio of 10-10-7 in the allot-
ment of auxiliary warcraft tonnage to
England, America and this country.
Japan asked for that ratio for capital
ships at the Washington conference,
but finally accepted 5-5-3. The higher
ratio for auxiliary craft was informally
advanced at the three-power conference
In Geneva in 1927.
The talk gave rise to recent news
paper reports that supplementary
program. calling for four additional
10000 tonners, Is first-claSs destroyers
and number of smaller destroyers,
submarines. gunboats and oilers, had
been decided upon. The navy depart
ment later said that no announcement
would be made at this time, lest 1t
embarrass the MacDonald-DaWes con-
versations in London. 1t was remarked,
however. that no outright denial of the
reports was forthcoming.
Surveys Are Given to Press.
Naval officers and publicists are Civ
ing the japanese press surveys designed
to support the claim for for the 10-10-7
ratio, asserting that the program which
America and Britain have in hand will
give each of these powers between 250.-
900 and 100000 tons of modern cruisers
of more than 1000 tons, whereas Japan
by the completion of her eight Nachi
class ships will have corresponding
tonnage of only 108 400: that is, eight
10000-ton ships and four of the Furu-
taxa class Of 7.100 tons each. Hence, 1t
Is argued, that unless the two leading
sea powers agree to reduce drastically
their cruiser fleets, Japan must build
several more 10,000-ton fighters to keep
within hailing distance,

hopes for such actual reduction by
Britain and America. thus making any
increase in the present japanese cruiser
strength unnecessary.

announcement that II Singer failed to

Quotations of and 9 to and some
of as high as 2 to l on Singer have

Indications were that these odds would
hold good at ring time.
Apparently the heavy proportion of
Singer money is due to the East Side
lads brilliant knockout victory over
Andre Routis of France. featherweight
champion. That triumph, coming on
the heels of Singers knockout defeat
at the hands of Ignacio Fernandez,
stamped the East Slider as a fighter
with championship possibilities. The

Popular opinion has installed Ernest
Vierkoetter of Germany, winner of the
1927 event, as the outstanding favorite.
The big German baker led the field last
year until the cold water forced him to
withdraw four miles from the finish.
The powerful German is confident he
can outswim the field and outgame the
lake this time.
Second choice is George Young, who
won the Catalina Island swim three
years ago. Mendell Burditt of Toronto
figures more seriously the colder the
water becomes. Strong and robust, he
may outlast the field should the tenn
perature of the water be around the
minimum on race day.
Georges Michel of France, who won
most of the prize money last year by
being the last to succumb to the frigid
waters of the lake, will not compete this
year. Among the lesser favorites are
such swimmers as Norman Ross, Chi
cago; Clarence Ross of New York,
Eddie Heating and Byron Summers.
