REASON FOR SHIPS!
OF SMALLJONNAGE'
BATTLESHIPS OF THE FUTURE
MUST BE CONSTRUCTED TO I
FIT THE PANAMA CANAL.
OUT FLEET WILL BE DIVIDED;
Disadvantage of Having Ships Which
Must Round Cape Horn Was Illustrated
in the War With Spain.
Washington.?The real reason for j,
the proposal of Secretary Hughes and |
the American navy that hereafter no (
battleships shall be built by any nation ,
larger than 35,000 tons is just coming :
to the surface. The United States does 'i
not wish to have any battleship too
large to go through the Panama canal. |
Before the present conference was
convened and the armament race was |
at its height, there was talk of a 50,000 <
ahd 60,000-ton battleship to be built i
by Japan. This would have been met
by the construction of American bat-11
tleships of equal size, but these ves-11
eels would have been valuable to the
United States only in the Pacific, 'h
where they would have had to be kept i
most of the time. i
American naval policy, at least for
the present, contemplates a fleet divided
between the Atlantic and Pacific,
and one of the chief values of
the canal is that strategetically it ,
gives the United States great defensive
strength. The disadvantage of J
having vessels in the Pacific which ^
must round Cape Horn was conspicu- (
ously Illustrated when "Fighting Bob"
Evans made his memorable trip from
Pacific to Atlantic waters to assist
the squadrons off the Cuban coast.
The Panama canal is able at pres- i
ent to accommodate vessels with a
displacement of only 40,000 tons. '

fO CUT OUT FOREIGN COURTS
Senator Lodge of the American Delegation
to Present the Principe In
the Form of a Resolution.
Washington. ? Abolition of extra
territorial rights in China, by which .
various powers maintain their own
courts for trial of their own nationals, j
was agreed to in principle by the
powers represented in the Washington
conference on Pacific and Far Eastern
affairs.
The Chinese delegation presented
to the committee a statement strongly
urging the abolishment of the extra
territorial rights and sympathetic responses
were said to have been voiced
by the representatives of the other
powers.
Better was generally expreoocu, uu -1
ever, that the rights could not be
given up immediately in view of con-1
ditions, but that the abolition should
come as promptly as compatible with
the present situation and progress of
China.
The committee, upon reaching the '
general agreement, authorized the appointment
of a sub-committee headed
by Senator Lodge, of the American
delegation, to present the principle in i
the concrete form of a resolution.
The sub-committee also will work
out the details of the surrender by
the powers of their rights. This task
will include the consideration of a
number of treaties and for that reason
the tjme required for Its accomplishment
was problematical.

V
SINN FEIN HAS DECLINED TC
ACCEPT ANY ALLEGIANCE TO
THE KING OF ENGLAND.

$
The British Government Regards Thli
Difficulty as Fundamental, It la
Asserted by High Authorities.
London.?The negotiations for ai
Irish settlement are feared to be near
ing an unfavorable end, according t<
a high authority and there is appre
hension that next week may witnesi
their collapse unless more favorable
circumstances, not now forseen, shal
develop.
It is stated that Ulster is no longei
presenting the sole obstacle, but thai
the Sinn Fein has refused to accepi
allegiance to the King, although wll
ling to take the oath to an Irish con
stltution.
Furthermore, and equally important
it is added, the Sinn Fein will not
agree to a veto of Irish legislation by
the British crown.
The Sinn Fein idea is said to be t
completely independent Irish state
although loosely connected with tin
other states in the empire. Acts o:
parliament creating British dominion!
give the King the power of vetoing
all legislation, but, by constitutiona
usage, this veto is now never exer
cised. The Sinn Fein, however, It
declared to have made known its be
lief that a similar veto power regard
ing Ireland would constantly be usee
at the will of the British cabinet.
The government regards this dlffi
c'ulty as fundamental, it is asserted.
