ARMIES UP NEXT WEEK Plans Are Made to Tackle Third Big Job or Session All Re ported in Accord. WASHINGTON, Nov. IT. (By the Associated Press.) Far eastern ne gotiations await the reply of Japan to China's declaration of rights, and the American move for limitation of naval armament is slowing- up be cause of objections raised both by Japan and Great Britain. . Discussion of the far-eastern prob lems was advanced by the big nine today to the point of an agreement that a general exchange of views on China's programme should precede any consideration of specific points. Such a general presentation of views Japan was unprepared to make and the big nine adjourned until Satur day. Meantime Japan made known her desire to modify the American plan of naval limitation to give her a "slightly greater" relative strength, and the opposition of the British to the submarine quota suggested by the United States gave evidence of such determination as to attract at tention of all delegates. Big Developments Remote. The day's work seemed to Indicate that the first impetus of the con ference was giving way to a period of more deliberate discussion which might preclude the possibility of out standing developments for the Im mediate future. Plans were made, however, to tackle the third big Job of the conference, the limitation of land arnfament, early next week at an open session at which ' Premier 1 Brland will make a far-reaching dec laration of the views of France. The big nine's session on far east ern questions today was largely glven over to a discussion of the method of procedure. The decision to permit each power to present a general statement before attempting to settle specific problems Is under stood to have the Indorsement of all heads of delegations, although Japan made It plain she accepted the Chi nese plan only "as a basis of discus sion." It was decided also that when specific points are reached, the Chi nese "ten points" are to be interlaced with the items of the American agenda in determining details of pro cedure. Japanese Ambassador 111. A contributing factor to the two days' delay was said to be the illness of Baron Shldehara, Japanese ambas sador, who Is In charge of far eastern problems for his government. It was understood, however, that the time reaulred to communicate with Toklo ! and the determination of th Jan- i i . . . .... , w ii.dv i. ft i o iiiusi vareiui examina- tion to the Chinese proposals have I cross-examined by the defense tomor combined to make an immediate I rw- H1" testimony was of a technical statement of Japan's views Impossl-I ble. It Is expected that when this wJln uwena presentation is ready It will be given rr " r: r the discussion In the open. The American government, which has been understood to be in general accord with the Chinese position, con tinued its silence on the subject, but evidence of general approval came from headquarters from the French delegation with indications that Italy would follow suit. The French de clared their willingness to give up their extra-territorial privileges and their lease in Kauang Toheou, provid ed their government's title to French Jndo-China was unquestioned. For China's aspirations they expressed sympathy, but they also Indicated Ja pan's need of expansion In some quar ter could not be minimized. Baroa Kaio Explains. Formal announcement by Admiral Baron Kato that Japan would ask for a greater proportion of strength than had been proposed for her In the American plan became tonight the center of attention In the naval arma ment negotiations. Making the first explanation of the reservations with which Japan accepted the plan. Baron Kato also announced that his gov ernment desired the right to possess at least one ship of the most formid able defensive type included in the armaments of Great Britain and th United States. He explained that he did not refer to submarines, but would not indicate what class of ves sel was in his mind. The view behind the British objec tions is that the quota of 90,000 tons In submarines suggested by the American plan for both Great Brit ain and the United States Is far too large. The British, In fact, would ! first general frost of the season, vary like to see the submarine abandoned 1 Ing from light to heavy, according to entirely, but there are considerations ' the locality, will strike California of national defense which impel the American delegates to hold deter minedly to the figure they first pro posed. l.ate torlny the question was dls- ; Baron Declares Nation Rather Than Newspapers Will Determine Coarse to Follow. WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 17. (By the Associated Press.) The Japanese newspaper correspondents of whom' there Is a small army ' here, had planned a. mass meeting tonight which was to have resulted In a round robin to Admiral Baron Kato. head of the Japanese delegation, expressing their opinion that Japan should sub scribe to the American proposals for naval limitation without, the reserva tions forecast. All proceeded serenely until Ad miral Kato heard about It Then the Japanese correspondents received summons to appear at his headquar ters. No American reporters having been Invited, and Inasmuch as Admiral Kato spoke In Japanese, the version of what he said Is necessarily second Hand. It is understood, however, that he told the journalists with some emphasis that the Japanese- govern ment rather than the newspapers would determine the course to be pursued, and he outlined with lucid ity how he would regard any such action as the correspondents pro posed. There was no mass meetng and the robin failed to round out TURKEYS ON MARKET Thanksgiving Bird? Expected to Sell at 50 Cents Pound. Turkeys are beginning to come in for the Thanksgiving trade, but the price has not been established yet and will not be until the dealers know something more definite about the supply. Retailers cannot set their prices until the wholesale price is fixed, and the wholesalers are waiting for the producers to make their prices. Tur key farmers near Roseburg and Oak land expect to get about 41 cents, and whatever price, they demand they probably will get. Other sections will ship In their turkeys on consign ment and the price will depend upon the supply that comes In and the ex tent of the demand. The bulk of the shipments will arrive Sunday, by which time the market should be established. It is the opinion of most marketmen that the retail price will be close to 50 cents. ROSEBURO, Or., Nov. 17. (Special.) The Thanksgiving turkey market opened today when early dressed birds were purchased at 40 cents. Only a few hundred birds were bought. There will be a heavy rush tomorrow and on Saturday the largest part of the dressed turkeys for- the Thanksgiving market will be received. BANK CASE NEAR FINISH Trial of C. H.

SENATE AMENDMENT CARRIES Maximum Income Surtax Is Fixed at 50 Per Cent. PARTY LINES ARE BROKEN 94 Republicans Join With Prac tically Solid Democratic Minor ity for Amendment. WASHINGTON. D. C, Nov. 17. The house, disregarding the ex pressed wish of President Harding, voted today, 201 to 173, to accept the senate amendment to the tax revision bill fixing the maximum income sur tax rate at SO per cent on Incomes of $200,000 or more. Ninety-four republicans, most of them from the middle and far west, joined with the practically solid democratic minority In supporting ! the amendment Announcement of the result brought applause irom both sides, with some democrats cheering. Three hoars before the vote was taken the house listened to the read ing of a letter from President Hard ing to Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee, suggesting that the house and senate compro mise. The executive said he still believed the original house rate of 32 per cent was "nearer to a Just levy and the more promising one in returns to the public treasury," but that In view of the legislative situation he thought It "wholly desirable" that there be a compromise at 40 per cent. Insurgents Not Moved. Immediately after It became known that the president had written Mr. Fordney, spokesman foe the "insur gent" republicans said the letter would not affect, the-esult. - They had claimed 93 republican votes or one less than was cast for the amendment.

VWASTVHG English, F O er, Do Not Expect Agreer for Abandonment o. ,ndcrsea Craft. WASHINGTON. D. C, Nov. 17. (By the Associated Press.) Great Brit ain's antipathy to submarines as a naval weapon still loomed today as the outstanding point of disagreement between British and American points of view In connection with restricted navies. The submarine question is being stressed in unofficial discussion and views of the two powers are so far apart that It seems likely extend ed consideration must be given before a mutual agreement Is reached. In the British view, submarines should be abolished as an Improper naval weapon. In the American view submarines, properly used, are as legitimate a naval weapon as battleships. No Brit ish argument yet presented has shak en that conviction as far as can be told. The British delegation apparently does not expect an agreement to abandon submarines. There Is noth ing to indicate It has been presented or will present any such proposal In a formal way. Failing that, however, the British will advance a project to limit the United States and Great Britain to probably 45.000 tons in sub marines instead of the 90,000 tons each proposed by the United States. Coupled with the proposal will be a formal suggestion to limit the size of Individual submarines, perhaps to 250 tons. ' The American viewpoint rejects both these suggestions. The 90.000-ton aggregate limitation proposed by the American delegation was derived from a study of Ameri can needs of the more tnan u,uuv nautical miles of coast line to be pro tected and of the need of the fleet In underwater craft That being the figure arrived at as necessary for de fensive purposes and to round out the fleet. It was agreeable to the United States that Great Britain should keep the same tonnage. American naval officers disagree 1th the suggestion of the British th.t there Is any Inherent character istic in submarines that makes them unamenable to the rules of civilized warfare. It Is also pointed out that the United States threshed out that question with Germany before Ger man disregard of the American view that submarines could be controlled brought this country into the war. A battleship or cruiser could be guilty of Juct as grave violations of the re quirements or .humanity, even in war. it Is argued, and the fact that sub- mersibles have a quality of limited visibility does not deny them a place In legitimate warfare. It appears probable that American efforts will tend toward putting the question of use of submarines over to the discussion of new agencies of war provided for In the conference agenda. Unless the American view Is radically changed no agreement as to tonnage limit in size which would prevent seagoing submersibles being built is to be expected. Whether the United States would be willing to re duce its estimate of aggregate sub- marine tonnage needed in order to bring a final agreement is another question. ARE OTHER WAYS OF WASTING OUR IIP ML : Many Prominent International Digestions Already Begin to Call for Holiday." WASHINGTON. D. C, Nov. 17. (By the Associated Press.) Arma ment delegates and the many digni taries and sub-dignltarlea who ac company them are beginning to show the effects of the grind. Not the grind of work, although that is enough, but the grind of the continuous performance of luncheons, dinners, receptions and late suppers. Many . prominent International di gestions have already begun to call for "a holiday." Many snappy and close-fitting uniforms are getting closer and less snappy. The tele-1 phone girls who ring the bells and sponses are becoming less diplomatic. It all means the conference is work ing full hours and playing overtime, and it begins to look as though there might have to be a limitation of entertainment with some sort of a re placement programme to be agreed upon later.

MONEY. National Delegates Fore see Optimistic Future. PART IN COMMERCE LARGER Co-operative Marketing and Buying Is Developed. -MASTERS MAKE REPORTS Heated Controversy Over Ousting of. William Bouck Expected. 1000 Are Initiated. Presentation of reportr by masters of 29 state granges and disposal of routine business of the convention occupied the S5th annual session of the national grange at the Multnomah hotel yesterday morning. The rest of the day was devoted to initiation of applicants Into various degrees of the gran re. In the afternoon candidates were shown the mysteries of the fifth and sixth degrees at Turn Verein hall. Thirteenth and Madison streets, and at night about 1000 applicants re ceived the rites of the seventh de gree at the municipal auditorium. Absence o many delegates who were practicing for the initiation ceremonies made transaction of Im portant matters Inadvisable yester day morning. Mr. Bouck Not Discussed. Fred Nelson, acting state master of Washington, who succeeded William Bouck after the latter was suspended by National Master Lowell, made his report, but no discussion of Mr. Bouck's dismissal followed It is pre dicted that a spirited debate on the suspension of the Washington state master will feature one of the ses sions soon when the matter comes up for discussion before the conven tion. Among the Interesting reports read yesterday- was that of the Grange League federation exchange of New Tork. This organization has an au thorized capital of $1,000,000, of which about 40,000 farmers have subscribed $750,000 of the capital stock Its busi ness Is going at the rate of $5,000,000 a year. The feed department for the first nine months of this year did a business of $2,639,000. It now has Its own elevator and mills for mixing balanced rations. Co-operative Bodies Grow. The organization Is reaching for business in other states. Co-operative marketing and the Dairymen's league are advancing rapidly. The latter rep resents 750,000 cows, has 100 milk shipping stations and an equipment valued at $3,500,000. e jersey is making progress along all lines of grange work and has added 1200 names to Its mem bership rolls, making a total of 18,000, according to the report of David H. Agans, master of 'the New Jersey state grange. A. B. cook, state manager of Michigan, made in his report a sug kcouuu luml aii state, grange ses sions be held a short time before the national grange meeting, to fa cilitate various kinds of grange work. His plan might necessitate a onenge in national grange dates, but it met w:tU the approval of many delegates. Grange Outlook Bright. The state master of Michigan also reported that the grange outlook for the future seemed very encourac- ilnar. Pre-war conditions are return ing, he said. The state has been divided Into sevn grange districts with a deputy master in charge of each district Mr. Cook pledged the complete co-operation of his grange in all matters of advancing the in terests of the national body. State Master Needham of Kansas reported that many subordinate granges of his state have local ship ping associations through which they ship grain and livestock direct to ter minal markets, saving for the farm ers the speculative margins taken by local dealers. Pooling of Orders Popular, Where there are no such associa tions, members of the. grange are urged to do their own shipping, he said. Mr. Needham declared that the pooling of orders for staple supplies such as flour, feed, coal, fruits, pota toes, etc., was becoming more popular ith farmers every year in Kansas. The report of C. C. King, Oklahoma state master, showed that provisions had been made to maintain a grange headquarters at the state capital while the legislature Is In session. State Master King pointed out that the Oklahoma farmer did not seem to be active In politics, for there are only four farmers In the legislature as against 25 corporation lawyers. War o Substitutes Oa. In Wisconsin, State Master Herman Ihde reported, the use of pure dairy produce and elimination of substi tutes Is being promoted by an. ex tensive advertising campaign, which the state, grange is supporting. The growth of the Washington grange, whlcn nas a membership oT 21.021, was attributed for the most part to the co-operative movement started 10 years ago. In the report of State Master Nelson.
