SCHOOL CHILDREN WANT LOTS OF ROOM
In Some Places the AuthOr= itieS Think Five Acres
 Not Too Large
FOR FAIRGROUNDS

Talking about the size of the school lot in Hopeville at the meet ing of the board of education yester- day, Superintendent M. c. Donovan mentioned a few places where they would not think of a space less than five acres about public school. There is no likelihood of the Hope vile land being sold, but in the opinion of some it would be for the benefit of the school and the neigh borhood if the park department had charge of the property.
 Under the management of the park commission, it is claimed, it would be fitted up for a playground during the summer season. This, it is said, would entail an expense which the school board cannot af- ford, unless the aldermen should make special appropriation for that purpose. In addition to the cost of the apparatus, there would have to be a man on the ground all the time to keep the place in presentable shape. But it does not seem that anything will be done about it this year. and probably in the meantime some public spirited citizen may furnish the funds neces- sary to care for it the year round.

TERMS OF NAVAL ACCORD DELAYED
 UNTIL FRIDAY
Great Britain, France, and Italy Have Reached an Agreement But Final De- tails Are Held Up
BY RALPH HEINZEN

~ nltcO IfCSS StaII COfrcSDOnucnt)
 Paris, March 3. (UP)-Publica- tion of the terms of the naval accord reached between France, Italy and Great Britain will be delayed until Thursday or Friday, it was stated unofficially to-day, because of the time necessary for the consideration of the agreement by the govern ments of the United States and Japan.
 l Changes in the terms of the Washington and London naval trea- ties will be necessitated by the new tri-power agreement, it is believed generally, although there has been but one official reference to this pos- sibility. Minister of Marine Charles Dumont said that the accord entails slight modification of the London Treaty"
 The limitation of battleships to a maximum of 25,000 tons, understood to be one of the stipulations of the agreement, may offer some difficulty in obtaining the approval of the United States and Japan. While some quarters saw this as possible delay to an agreement bringing France and Italy within the program of naval limitation to which they l declined to commit themselves at
 
 the London conference, the French press suggested that the limitation of battleships was the most interest ing and important part of the Anglo F'rench-Italian negotiations. It was pointed out that French and Italian sacrifices in their pro- posed building programs were most ly technical, as far as could be de- termined until the text of the agree ment is published. Their former positions were relatively unchanged, except that Italy postponed her de- mand for naval parity until 1886. Thus the agreement to eliminate the construction of monster fighting craft over 25.000 tons was hailed by the press as a practical saving for taxpayers and definite progress to- ward limiting the navies of the world.
 French nationalists appeared du- bious regarding the value of the .hree power agreement and refused to endorse the latest efforts at linn itatlon until actual figures are made public
