OF JAPANESE FOR ARMAMENTS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. American
naval opinion finds it difficult to re
concile Japanese claims to a higher
fleet ratio than the American 5-5-3
proposal on the basis of Japan's ad
ditional tonnage sought by Japan is
all in offensive, ot defensive shipsi.
The Japanese experts brought up
in discussions among the experts,
however, the question of additional
airplane ,carriers fcr Japan. It has
been indicated in Japanese circles
that Japan desires equal tonnage with
Great Britain and the United States
in carriers.
It is regarded as certai nthat the
American conference delegation will
not be disposed to accept the Japanese
proposal of equal tonnage in airline
carriers for Japan.

RECORD HIGH TIDE WASHES
TRACK OUT NEAR ASTORIA
ASTORIA, Or., Dec. 2. One of the
year's highest tides backed up into the
Columbia river by the long series of
southerly storms and washed out a
length of track variously estimated at
from 2000 feet to a mile and a half
long on the S. P. & S. railway, about
six miles east of Astoria, last evening.
A northerly wind which lashed the
river to fury and drove heavy waves
against the railway embankment be
tween Fernhill and Bumside under
mined the rails, in some places leav
ing the ties and steel rails hanging
suspended over gaps.
No trains reached Astoria last night,
but one wire remained up between
here and Portland and travel over the
highway was almost completely shut
down by trees having fallen across
the pavement.
