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 unprecedented stage. One man was
/ killed in the storm.
The damage throughout the city

eurred along the waterfront, where a

ished, boat houses and small docks
1 were swept away and several hundred
i pleasure craft were smashed or car.

The property loss will run into hun?

i of them Miss Margaret Cochrane,

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

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

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

precipice that the pier of the Maid
- of the Mist was submerged.
> Many islands just above the falls

done on the upper river between La

France Will Accept
Original Naval Ratio
Lonon, Dec. 19.?France will accept
the original na^al ratio laid down by
Secretary Hughes at the armament
1 conference. Premier Briand informed
Ambasador Sahrvy last night authorizing
him to notify the American government.
The submarines also were
discussed and the French may announce
the submarine stand later.
Washington, Dec. 19.?Cables say'
ing that France has accepted) the
naval-ratio created a sensation in the
arms conference circles. It is inter,
preted as the longest step yet made
toward the naval reduction agreee
ment. The ne*t big question is the
submarine question which Great Britt
ain favors abolishing and France and
j the United States favor retaining. The
I French delegation is surprised over

BLACKSMITH WAS B
MAKER OF BOMB'
Warsaw, Doc. 18.?Sylvester Cosfjroye,
the American department of In(
justice agent, has sent a cable dis- ,tN
patch to Washington -giving the name j?.
of a blacksmith who Wolfe Linden- L.,,
feld, also known as William Linde. a!
leges manufactured the bomb and en jo1
ginecred the details of the explosion
in Wall street in 1920, and received j _
the money f< r the j'ob at 100 West |a.
40th street, New York. The black- (|?
smith is supposed to be in the United
States at tne present time. .\1:
The blacksmith, whose name has \j
been sent to Washington, came to Xl
Warsaw during the summer and met ,\i
Lindenfeld, according to Paul Alton- ya
dorf, who visited Lindenfeld before ua
his arrest. Altendorf declares Linden- uc

blacksmith accompanied him to Mos- </},
cow last August but the blacksmith eh
and his wife returned to America several

in connection with the Wall ?
street bomb explosions on September J.

night by William J. Burns, director So
of the bureau of investigation of the 1
department of justice. Mr. Burns *cr
said the state department had ex- Un
pected to have the lengthy cable dis- tio
patches decoued and their substance
rea to him over the telephone ai
7 o'clock tonight, but he had been informed
later that it would be impos- tn
sible to do so before tomorow. jMli
He eharaeteii'/.ed as unfounded the
reports that the department of jus
tiee had given orders to begin a
round up of Communists known to he
in this country or who might be sus- hit
pected of having knowledge of the bu
plot. Th
In the event that arrests should be
necessitated through disclosures contained
in I indenfeld's sttaemont, Mr.
Burns asserted that would l?e done
"properly and by warrant."
Mr. Bums said he also was expecting
a cablegram from Sylvester Cos- _.\,
grave, department agent in Warsaw. cr;
enlightening him on the premature re<
announcement of the statements
made by Lindenfeld. The depart- f,n
ment chief said ho was just as nosi
tive today as ho was on the day of p
the explosion that the crime was the
handiwork of the Third Interna
tionable. He referred to the report
he had made on the day of the an
tragedy and recalled that in talking pr
with newspaper men ten minutes after po
the explosion he had dismissed the fa:
theory of an accident with the state cli
ment that the perpetrators could be
traced to Moscow.
Anticipating a possible anarchistic
demonstration resulting from publica
tion of the contents of Lindenfeld's
confession, the police have taken ex- M
traordinary precautionary measures .Jn
to protect the Wall street district, go
Heavy guards have been thrown w.
