HEAVY STORM MOVING ONTO
 COAST STATES
Twenty-Five Trapped 1T California Mountains
 by Deep Shows

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 5.-Storm warnings have been posted for ves- sells at sea and in port from San Francisco north to the Canadian border as a new and unheralded major disturbance moved in over the Pacific Coast.
 The disturbed area has come down out of the upper Gulf of Alaska and is now centered off Vancouver Island.
 The Weather Bureaus inability to chart the storm was blamed by forecasters on lack of inforamtion from ships at sea with radio signals coming in garbled by atmospheric conditions.
 Twenty-Five persons have been reported marooned in snowbound Donner Summit in California, but are said to be in no immediate danger.
 Three persons are trapped at a gold mine 70 miles from Orville, California. Heavy snows have fallen throughout California m ount a n country.

DEMAND NOTE SENT BY U. s.
 TO JAPANESE.
Reply Must Be Made by February 20 on Bat
 tleship Plans

WASHINGTON, Feb. g. The United States, in note to Japan, asks whether that nation intends to build battleships larger than 35,o0O tons and if so the United States will build larger ships in self-de- fenSe.
 The note however. says that the United States will be willing to dis cuss limitation of the size of hulls.
 It is said this action was taken after consultation with England and France, signatories to the London Naval Treaty of 1886, both of whom are taking similar steps.
 The United States note demands an answer by February 20 and if there is no satisfactory reply by then, it will be considered an ad- mission on the part of Japan to build beyond the limit of ships and the United States will assume full liberty of action"
