A naval holiday I* tha propoaaJ, in i short that Ih* United Mtataa, Great Britlan and Japan (Hall acrap M «a» lial ahipa aggregating IJPTSJMI tona. Within thraa month* after tha ran lualon of an agreement, tha United Stataa would Hava I* capital ahipa; (>r«at Britlan T3 and Japan 10.

The figure* include old ahipa to ba ■crapped, ahipa building or for which material haa bean aaaembled. Like a Bombakall I Characterized bjr Baton K*to, the chief Japanese delegate aa "very draa tic" but probably auiuble aa a baaia (or diacuaatoo, and by Mr. Balfoui head of the Britiah delegation aa "a ■ta teamanlike utterance, pregnant with infinite poeaihUitiee and moat hopeful of aatiafacory reaulta," the American propoaal, concrete and de tailed, fall on the opening momenta of the great conference like a bomft | ahell. The foreign delegatee ware atun | ned. No other word do* crib** their : feeling*. The principal feature* of the That for net leaa than 10 year*, competitive naval building ceaae aa between Great Brltlan. the United State* and Japan. That all capital «hipa building or planned be *crapped and a few recent ly placed in the water be deatioyed within three month* of ratification of i he agreement. That the older *hip* .of each fleet alao be deatroyed reducing the Britiah forcea to <2 battleahipa, the American to 18 and the Japaneae to 10, each ship to be retained being * pacifically named. That during the agreement, no capi | tal craft be laid down except under ■ detailed replacement scheme includ ed in the proposal which would pro vide for ultimate equality of the Brit | iah and American fleet* and for a ! Japanese force at 60 per cent of the strength of either of the other two. That all other naval craft be sim ilarly provided for in the same ratio, specific figures for aggregate ton nage in each claee being laid rtmrn. Can't Settle Air Problem That naval aircraft be disregarded in the scaling down processes aa a problem incapable of solution owing to , the convertibility of commercial air-, ■ craft fojr war purpoeee. That no naval building of any char , acter be undertaken in any of the { three countries on foreign account , during the life of the agreement. That no capital ships hereafter laid down exceed 86,000 tons. That the life of a battleahip shall be fixed at 20 years and that' ships to be replaced be destroyed before the replacement veaael is moretthan three montha paaaed completion. That no battleship replacement whatever be undertaken for 10 years from date of the agreement. j That no combat craft be acquired except by construction and none be so disposed of that it might become part 1 of another navy. That regulations to govern conver sion of merchant craft for war pur ! poses be drawn up, because of the ; importance of the merchant marine "in inverse ratio to the sise of naval armaments." Those are the outstanding feature* of the sweeping challenge Secretary Hughes presented to the other naval power*. There was complete detail covering every phase of the queetion, but the essence of the proposal lay in thia: That the Upiled States offered to go far beyond what she asked Great Mtian or Japaa to do, viewed from the abeoluta financial loeaea involved.

Later, whan tha conference appar ently had concluded ita busineaa, the galleriea helped tha spirit of good feeling along by calling for one after another of the distinguished foreign delegate* until every head of a viait ing delegation had made a speech. Premier Briand, of France, waa the first to be thus brought to his feet by aa Impromptu demonatratioa of ra» gard from spectators.

Pledges received up to and including Nov. 9th, represent a purchasing p6wer of $60,000,000. This sum of money added to the output of the manufacturers of the two Caro lines would enable them to employ more than 12,600 rdditional industrial workers at remunerative wages. Other reports show that if the manufacturers of the two Carolines could operate their planta at full cape city, they could employ 268,100 addi tional workers, thus turning hundreds of thousends of dollsrs of new money into the channels of trade end benefit ing workers, manufacturers, raer chents and the people generally.

Chief of Police Long today gave it as his opinion that the revenue officials of Orange county could not hope to cope with the situation unlaw aid was given them by the State. The inefficiency of the .present sy stem, says Chief Long, la doe to the fart that, with the reward placed only upon the capture of the stUtfc, the in former usually gives wanting to the operator* before the officers approach too near, allowing the moonshiners to escape. Bat with the ether system, the reward for the capture of the men would prove too tempting for the to* former and the chance* are that no warning would be gtvps.
