PROPOSAL PUT I FORTH BY FRENCH | Washington, Dec. 18.?Proisosali made by the French delegation Thurs 1 day to the naval committee of th< ' armament conference included a defi nite schedule of construction whicl , contemplated the replacement by 194 of the present French battle fleec bj ten new ships totalling 350,000 tons. The proposals and the accompany ing schedule of planned constructioi were presented with the full author ity of the French government, it was learned on best authority tonight ant were not, as has been indicated ir some quarters, merely "a tentative de partmental plan." Authoritative French opinion, as obained tonight, was that the plan ant its resulting ratio for France was entirely reasonable. It was made plair that there was no disposition to modify the proposals in their vital fea turc." cr tc accept the 175,000 ton ra tio proposed by the American delegation. The first new ship will be laid dowr in 1926, under the French plan submitted to the committee, and eacli year the keel of an additional ship wou'd be laid to gradually replace and augment the present capital ship tonnage of France which, in the opinion of her government, is antiquated in design and inadequate to pi'operlj piutcv.t tuu iiai/iuii s iiitt'iCAwa. The naval experts of the French delegation estimated that the last ol the new ships would be ready foi service in 1941 or not before ter years after the period of naval holiday contemplated in the limitatior now before the conference. An analysis of the table, it was explained would show that the French naval strength at the end of ter pears would figure about 200,000 tons of capital ships, including two new dreadnaughts, and that this would be only 60,000 tons, representing approx imately the tonnage of the two new ships over the allotment made tc France undr.r the American plan.

GREAT DAMAGE I CASED BY GALE s Buffalo, Doc. 18.?A 95 mile an - hour gale swept the city today, upe rooting trees, tearing down chimneys, - smashing plate glass windows and pili ing up the water in the harbor to an I unprecedented stage. One man was / killed in the storm. The damage throughout the city - was great, but heaviest losses oci eurred along the waterfront, where a - 300 foot wireless tower was demoli ished, boat houses and small docks 1 were swept away and several hundred i pleasure craft were smashed or car. ried down the river. The property loss will run into hun? dreds of thousands of dollars. 1 A window hatch torn from the top i of a business block fell on a passing i automobile, killing Frank E. Fiefer, . one of the two occupants, -and injur. ing the other seriously. The hatch . went through the windshield and pin. ned Kiefer to the seat. The automobile, with both occupants unconi scious, ran about a block before it . swerved and crashed into a store i front. > Two women were caught under a . falling tree near the waterfront. One i of them Miss Margaret Cochrane, . sustained both legs broken. Her sis1 ter, Katherine, was internally injured r and firemen had to cut away part of the tree trunk before she could be i released. The wind, blowing from the south west directly down Lake Erie, piled i up the water until Bird Island pier . and Squaw Island pier were almost i completely submerged. Nearly 100 squatters' shanties were carried out . into the Niagara river. Their cccui pants were rescued by police, firemen ! and coast guard crews, j Three ferry boats used in the servr ice between Buffalo and Fort Eric ? were piled u pon the rocks between . the river and the canal. r At Tonawanda the water rose eight t feet above normal, flooding the large number yards nearby and floating thousands of feet of timber into the river. Seldom has such a volume of water poured over the brink of the Niagara 1 cataract as today. The waters of Lake Erie crowded into the Niagara river causing a swirling flood where usually there are only a few scant > incres. Such floods poured over the precipice that the pier of the Maid - of the Mist was submerged. > Many islands just above the falls . were submreged for the first time in vears. Great property damage was done on the upper river between La Salle and Niagara Falls to riverside r boat houses and motors. One estimate of- the property loss there is $300,000. No loss of life was reported. jArg el a k e_v o ats here weathered the storm. Some dragged xheir ' anchors, but none was beached. Three gasoline fishing boats were 1 sunk in the harbor at Dunkirk.

In unofficial circles, howetfe, the decision of the government is Kterpreted in three ways: First, fes a pi'otest against the reaction ;tiry regime proposed by General Cueing Tsao-Lin, governor of Manchurmj, second, the demand of Chang'TfeabLin for material support by the g<Wernment; and, third, a confession tlmt the financial situation is impoppinbi of solution. j Washington Dec. 18.?Dissatidfition over the progress and the methhil of the Shantung "conversations" rtw going on between Chinese and Japttfiese representatives here was beliejfa by members of the Chinese detention to the armament conferencojKo have been the cause of the resigna?n of the Peking cabinet. The delegation was without "offiatgl information regarding the fall of ififr cabinet and so far as could be learned recent dispatches from their govern* ment contained nothing which woUbf bear out the disposition that the resCgnations were due to the :ittitud$4Ef Governor General Chang Tsso-I4n ijbf Manchuria.
