AMERICAASKS
new GIANT
BATTLESHIP
S. Probably Would
Not Build, Only
Wants Right

LONDON, Feb. l0-tPl- The
American delegation to the naval
conference today made known their
hope Of being allowed to build one
new giant battleship as part Of the
American program OF establishing
naval parity with Great Britain.
1t would be Of the Rodney type,
that is. Of $4,000 tons with sixteen
inch guns.
1t Is the American suggestion that
four Of its lesser capital ships be
scrapped, instead Of the three IL
vas planned originally to scrap,
and that the new giant supership
be authorized to bring the Amer
lean fleet to the high British STAN
dard, both fleets then to have fiji
teen ~hattleshipS.
Want Privilege
The Americans added that the
United States probably would not
build this ship If the privilege is
granted TO them. although they
wished the right to do SO If desired.
Intense activity marked the naval
conference proceedings with the
opening Of the new week, which
promised to be the most important
seven days il has e thus far.
The delegation heads met at St.
James's palace at 1870 q. m, while
the committee OF experts continued
its discussion on global and categ-
orical tonnages.
To Call On Premier
This morning the committee dealt
with special ships which 1t had
been suggested should not be in
cluded in any scheme OF tonnage
limitation. Secretary Stimson, head
Of the American delegation. plan
ned to confer with Premier Mac
Donald at No. 10 Downing Street
later in the day.
It was learned that on American
suggestion no yardstick would be
applied in the way OF measuring
speed and armament III scrapping
ships. They would be dealt with on
the basis Of size and age.
Root Idea Up Tuesday
H. was understood that at to-
morrow's plcnary session either
Premier Tardieu or George Ley
CUES. French minister Of marine,
would move a resolution 10 replace
the Root convention for humaniz-
ing submarine activities which
France never ratified. 1t was stated
France would propose the human
izing laws apply. not only to u
marines. but equally to all classes
Of warships.
Neither Secretary Stimson nor
Prime Minister Macdonald have
any idea they will be able TO sound
the death knell to the undersea
boat. but they intend to leave no
doubt as 70 the attitude Of Amer
lea and Britain on the subject. II
they are unable to abolish, they at
least want to draw the teeth Of the
submarine SO It will be left as in
offensive as possible.

FATIGUE PRIME DANGER HAZARD

Fatigue, which causes human organs
to function slowly, has been proven
one Of the major causes OF motoring
mishaps.
The surveys show the the hours of
greatest danger are from s p, m. to
p. M, while less accidents occur be-
tween 8 a, m. and 0 q, IN. than at any
other time of day. The graph line for
motor mishaps ascends gradually until
about Z p m. when 1t drops sharply
until 0 p m, with a sudden increase
between 8 p. m. and 1880 p. m.
The traffic flow is heaviest just after
business hours close In the evening,
but 1t is also high from 8 q. m. until
noon. From p. nj. it remains ut low
levels until midnight.
The increase In accidents is much
greater than the increase in traffic,
which is evidence of the conclusion
that fatigue is a major hazard.
