New York, Feb 25-Bond dealers

JESSE WAS CORRECT

Granted, regardless In anger, the N.

the six per cent bank loans, which
incidentally, offer juicy income to
banks with a plethora of good loans.
But today we see New York Cen

err Conference, Moves To
Get Some Sort of Agree
ment; Italy Has Refused
to Enter New Accord Now

London, Feb. 25.-(AP)--Great Brit
ain, anticipating failure for the four
power naval conference, has proposed
an Anglo-German American naval
agreement, it was learned today from
authoritative sources.
Members of the United states dele
cation, asked to confirm this report,
refused to discuss it.
High naval sources described the
proposal as one of the most important
affecting the United States, Great Bri
tain and Germany since the World
War. The agreement would limit the
sizes and types of ships and guns
among the three countries concerned,
and would provide for an annual ex
change of information on construc-
ton programs.
Word of the Anglo-German-Ameri-
can proposals came shortly after Italy
had injected the Italo-Ethiopian war
question into the naval conference as
fresh barrier to the achievement of
a naval limitation treaty.
The Italian delegation notified the
British, authoritative sources disclos-
ed, that Premier Mussolini would de-
cline to accept any new naval agree
ment until League of Nations war
penalties on Italy were lifted.

Big Ned Lathrop, the hard

the success of the Annapolis

determination and aggreSsivenesS

bringing the team VIGOROUSLY
through four consecutive games.
Another test is in store for this
