hCNCLAND’S PROPOSAL MEETS
WITH COLD RECEPTION BY
FRANCE, ITALY, JAPAN
AMERICA IS NON COMMITTAL
Pules Suggested To Prevent Repetl-
^ tlon Of Ruthless Use Of Under* „
I water Craft
. V
Washington.—Great Britain’s plea
that the submarine be banished from
the' seven seas has been presented
to the arms conference, but received
•no support from any other powen
In turn, the spokesmen of France,
Italy and Japan replied that they re
garded submarines when properly em
ployed, as a legitimate and valuable
arm 6f naval strength, and were un
prepared to see them abolished.
The American delegates took no
final stand on the question, but sug
gested that the conference turn Its
efforts toward such a revision of In
ternational practices.as would prevent
a repetition of the ruthless submarine
methods of the world war.
A further eachahge of views on the
British proposal will take place at a
later date unless France, whose repre
sentatives again are awaiting Instruc
tions from the premier, is prepared to
go ahead with the delayed presenta
tion of estimates for auxiliary craft
• he desired to keep under the naval
reduction program. The French Indi
cated that they hoped, at the next
meeting, to at least make known their
exact requirements as to submarine
tonnage.
The most recent discussions have
taken place behind closed doors of the
committee room, but the British asked
that their indictment of the subma-
rin# be mads public and Indicated that
they probably would carry their fight
later to an open seealon of the con
ference. They apparently do not hope
to eucceed. however, after the expree-
■oln of views, and are planning to
Join In the mov* for an understanding
to restrict the operatlone of under-
wiser craft in future wan.
Announcement of the French that
they were unprepared to preeent fig
Washington.—Acceptance by France,
with reservations, of th* American
proposal of 175.000 togs in capital
ships each for France and Italy swept
the arma conference forward to'Its
next major problems—the submarine
Issue, Italy, it is stated officially, al
ready has accepted tbs 175,000-ton fig
ure, conditioned only on its accept
ance by France.
Formal announcement of French ac
ceptance and details of French reser
vations apparently were reserved by
the sub-committee of fifteen for the
full naval committee of the confer
ence, called for the near future, The
sub-committee did break Its silence,
sufficiently, however,, to publish the
messages exchanged by Secretary
Hughes und Premier Brland, which
led up to the action of the French del
egation. The messages were read and
discussed by the sub-committee, but
the official communique disclosed no
more than the texts of the cablegrams.
The premier's message showed that
reservations attached to acceptance
of the 175,000 capital ship tonnage
had to do with "light cruisers, tor
pedo boats and submarines." This
has served to bring the conference to
a stand until the submarine Issue
ran be solved, when the five-power
capital ship agreement will be com
pleted automatically. It Is assumed
the full naval committee was called
to lay out a program for the discus
sion of submarines and anti - subma
rine craft, as the two are Interwoven
In French and British opinion.
This implies that th* auxiliary craft
elements of the American plan must
be shaped into agreement before the
conference committees can return to
ratify the capital ship agreement.
A direct step toward bringing the
submarine Issue In Its first phase
—tbe British proposal to abolish sub
mersible war craft entirely—was tak
en during tbs day. Tbs British del
egation asked that a plenary session
of the conference be called to permit
presentation of tbelr case against sub
marines. Probably such a session will
b* held, although a data has not yet
been announced.
At such so open session Lord Le*.
HENRY WATTERSON
CLAIMED BY DEATH
FAMED KENTUCKY EDITOR PASS
ES PEACEFULLY AWAV AT
JACKSONVILLE, FLA.
WASWaLKNOWN JOURNALIST
Dsath Was Caused From Heart Fail
ure Superinduced From Conges
tion of Lungs
Jacksonville, Fla.—Colonel Henry
Watterson, one of the country’s best
known journalists and former owner
and publisher of the Louisville (Ky.)
Courier-Journal, passed peacefully
away at a local hotel here.
Colonel Watterson’s death was un
expected, though it had been known
for some days that he was seriously
ill. He had been here about six
weeks, as was his custom on his an
nual trips to Florida. He has for
years been spending his winters large
ly at Fort Myers and it was his in
tention to continue to that place when
his conditions Improved sufficiently
to take the trip. His wife, son and
daughter were at his bedside when
he died. -
Colonel Wutterson’e condition be
came grave and death was due to
heart failure super-induced by con
gestion of tbe lungs, according to phy
sicians.
He was conscious for a few min
utes at Intervals and thirty minutes
before bis death called his wife Into
the room and conversed with her. Af
ter a few words with Mrs. Watterson
tbe son and daughter were summoned.
Members of tbe family said hla
death was peaceful, Colonel Wetter-
son having lapsed Into unconscious
ness again a few minutes before he
passed away.
Colonel Watterson was one of the
last of the old-time personal journal
ists. Mors than half a century hts
editorials, with thstr brilliant, orig
inal and phrase-making composition,
attracted wide attention. They were
commented on and copied by the
prase of tbs nation. Besides his pow
er in molding public opinion through
qulremeota caused general surprise In
conference circles. Before lbs com

that tbelr estimates were reedy, but

Washington.—The formal negotia
tions of the arms conference are prac
tically at a standstill, but groups of
delegates continue personal consulta
tions, which appear to strenghten the
general confidence In an early solu
tion of all the points regaining at
issue.
With definite capital ships ratios
agreed upon by all flva of the prince
pal powers, there was revealed a feel
ing that limitation of auxiliary craft
was largely a minor question of de
tail, In the settlement of which the
individual desires of the various na
tions could be generally accepted. The
View was expressed that the real busi
ness of the conference had been ac
complished in the limitation of first
line ships, since It Is that class of war
vessels ^Vrhlch constitutes the major
element of naval aggression and which
at the same time entails the great bulk,
of public expenditure*
France Is to present her estimates
for auxiliary - vessels at a meeting
of the naval committee, and although
she Is expected to ask for a subma
rine and cruiser strength put of pro
portion to the-capital ship^ratlo fixed
for her, no one appears to regard the
prospect of adjusting her claims as a
difficult one. It is not understood to
be regarded as essential by confer*
ence leaders that the capital ship ra
tios be applied rigidly down the line
through the various classes of smaller
vessels.
In the Shantung negotlostlons, too,
the Informal conferences hare devel
oped new Indications of a trend to
ward agreement. The Japanese, who
are waiting for further Instructions
from Toklo regarding tbe terms, of
withdrawal from tbe Tslngtao-Tsinan-
fu railroad, have expressed the opin
ion ^hat the temporary halt of Infor
mal exchanges with the Chinese did
not constitute a serious deadlock.
Similar expression* cams from other
delegations, although the Chinese
seemed inclined to fear that the dis
cussions had encountared a serious ob
stacle.
