12 TITT3 MORNING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1921 JAPISTlDSFIi FOR ITS NAVAL PLAN Ratio of 70, Per Cent Held Necessary for Defense. MODIFICATION NOT VITAL Unless Granted, Orientals Will In sist Vimjii Scrapping of Navies of Towers. BY ADACHI KINNOUSKB. (Copyright by the New York World, llshed by Arrangement. ) WASHINGTON, .t. C Dec. 1 - (Special.) The Orcgonian Ja author ized to deny flatly and without reser vation the rumor that a Japanese en voy has received "very explicit in structions" from the Toklo govern ment to yield to the American posi tion on the naval ratio of 5-6-3. We deny it on no less an authority than that of Vice-Admiral Kato, head of the technical advisers to the chief delegates in Japan's naval matters. "No, It is absolutely without the slightest foundation in fact," the vice admiral told me when I asked 'him about the rumor which was circu lated widely and was published broadcast in the morning papers. "Japan has accepted practicall" the whole of the original American prop osition presented through Secretary Hughes. We have accepted the he roic measures of the American prop osition in throttling once for all the fatal competitive construction of naval ships by the great powers of the world. The slight modification suggested by Japan is based entirely onvthe imperative needs for the na tional defense of the empire. Hughes plan Not Affected. "It is in fact based on the very principle on which the whole Amer ican proposition represents . and which was proclaimed by Secretary Hughes himself when he declared: The United States believes that this plan safely guards the interests of all concerned.' As far as we can Bee the modification suggested by Japan docs not seem to affect the American plan in ady vital sense whatever, it is a mere matter of detail. We think that a certain ratio in capital ships is essential to safely guard our in terests from a purely defensive pol.it of view. . "If the essential elements for the defense of the implre is to be denied, then there are only two things which we shall be forced to ask at the hands of the other powers o'f the world: "1. Complete disarmament by all the powers, or at the very lease the destruction of all the capital ships by all the powers "2. Or the establishment of some measure or measures which will ren der future wars utterly impossible. Vnlted States Xot Affected. "As has been pointed before, wheth er our naval ratio be 60 or 70 per cent of the American or the British naval strength, makes not the slight est difference from the standpoint of the safety of the United States, To Japan, however, It makes all the dif ference In the world. The difference between those two percentages means to Japan the distance between safety and danger, nothing less. And as it is the best and sincere desire of our American friends to guard our inter ests, as well as those of the other powers of the world, we cannot see why there should be a Berious objec tion to our suggestion." According to the calculation of the Japanese naval experts, it has been pointed out to your correspondent, Japan is asked to scrap a much larger percentage of her capital-ship tonnage than, the United States, con trary to the popular impressions prj vailing here. Japan Wants Tiro Ships. On the basis of the famous Japan ese 8-8 programme Japan is asked to destroy 73 per cent, "while America proposes to destroy 63 per cent of her capital-ship tonnage on the basl3 of her 1916 naval programme. If Japan were permitted to retain the Mutsu and the old ship Aki it would bring the percentage, up to 70 for Japan. Even then the percentage of capital ships which Japan is required to destroy would be 6ff against Ameri ca's 63. This calculation is based, as stated before, upon the completion of the 8-8 programme of Japan and of the 1916 naval programme of the United States. As for the retention of the Mutsu, there seems to be little room for discussion, according to our naval authorities. Japan Should Retain Mntun. The Mutsu, which was completed October 20, at which date she com pleted her official trials and before .November 11, had steamed some 3000 miles with full complement. The question of the date of commissioning the ship is dependent upon the finan cial arrangements of the department and the sum of money needed for putting the ship into commission, De cember 1, 1921, already had been pro vided. Under the circumstances, if the American plan is based on pre serving the completed ships among the super-dreadnoughts of the mod ern type, Japan is entitled to keep the Mutsu without further controv ersy One thing is vital above all else. Whatever be the final form of the agreement on the limitation of arma ments, the people of Japan must b thoroughly satisfied with it. People Iemand Safety Itaaln. It is important that we shoud make it clear to our American friends that the people of Japan have been taught for more than ten years that the min imum ratio necessary for the safety of the empire is the 70 per cent of an enemy force. The eloquent leaders of the Selyu party, now in power, have preached it for years. The lead ers of the Kensei-Kal, the opposition party have also preached it. And the present 8-8 programme was made a reality as the result of all these years of educational campaign among the taxpayers of the empire. Public Opinion Considered. Unless our delegation would pre sent to the people an overwhelmingly convincing reason in aft overwhelm ingly clear manner, it would prove a great disappointment to the loyal millions of Japan who have borne an unbearable burden for the one and only end; namely, the safety of state. That is the reason why the Japanese delegation is taking a stand on the 70 per cent. Oregon Apples Sold In Eust. EUGENE, Or., Dec. 1. (Special.)

My Dear MIm Tingle: Will yoa please give, aa ioon aa possible, a recipe for a kind of moist choc olate cane made with mashed potatoes, pnd for popcorn balls Thanking you in rtdvance. MRS. T. S. I HOPE the following may suit you. both richer and plainer, answering to your description. Cocoa may be sub stituted for melted chocolate if it is more convenient and if a well-flavored "chocolately" cocoa is chosen. Moist chocolate cake: one-third cup of shortening, one cup of sugar, two eggs, one-half cup hot mashed pota toes, one ounce melted chocolate, one quarter cup hot milk, one cup flour, one and three-quarter teaspoons bak ing powder, one-half teaspoon each cinnamon and nutmeg, one' teaspoon vanilla. Cream the shortening witt the hot potatoes and chocolate, adding the milk and sugar gradually and beating until very fluffy. Beat In the egg yolks then fold in alternately the stiff beaten egg whites and the flour sifted with the other dry ingredients. Bake in layer or muffin pans or in a loaf. Line the loaf pan with greased paper. Cover with whipped and sweetened cream or chocolate icing or plain white icing, or butter icing as preferred. Popcorn balls: three-quarter cup of light brown sugar, three-quarter cup white sugar, one-half cup molasses (or one-quarter cup molasses and otie .quarter glucose, if only a slight flavor of molasses is preferred), one-half cup water, two tablespoons butter, one-quarter teaspoon soda, two tea spoons salt, one tablespoon vinegar, two quarts freshly popped corn.- Mix all the ingredients but the corn and soda. Boil to the hard ball. Add the soda and as it foams up, stir and pour over the corn which has been placed in a larger pan. Mix the syrup thoroughly with the corn and when partly cool, moisten or flour the hands and press the corn Into balls of suit able evert size. If desired a few fresh roasted pea nuts or walnut meats or seedless raisins may be mixed with the corn. If not to be eaten at once the balls should be wrapped in parafine paper as soon as they are cool and kept in a tin in a cool dry place as in this climate they are likely to become sticky or "grainy" very soon. If colored balls are wanted, use all white sugar and glucose instead of molasses. Flavor the syrup with va nilla, almond or peppermint and color with pink or green fruit color paste. If to be used on a Christmas tree each ball may have a nice clean end of string buried in Its heart, the other end hanging loose for tying on the tree.

Dear Madame Richet: I am sending you a sample and a small sketch of my dress I wish to make over. It Is braided around the bot tom of tho skirt and the sleeves are fin ished with a narrow satin band and the waist has a narrow satin belt with stream ers and tassels. I have a Jacket to match it and it Is also braided at the bottom. The dress is longer than they wear now and would have to be shortened some. Tne waist and skirt are in one piece. I am 21 years of age and weigh 140 pounds, have brown hair and eyes and I am 5 feet 4 Inches tall, 36 inches bust. 1 also have a black satin skirt, medium narrow and has buttons all the way down the back and two pockets and a girdle made ot the material. Could you suggest a way for me to make it over? Should I remove the buttons? If so, how could I trim it? It has a seam In the back. Thanking you in advance for any sug gestion you may offer, 1 am, MRS. a. w RS. G., Walla Walla, Wash.: Tour brown velvet cannot undergo a very radical change as the lines are exceedingly good Just as they are, but there is a way in which you can have an equally good line and gain the change you desire. Use the jacket for the waist for it will lend Itself to tho elongated line and the kimono sleeves are good. Where the two are Joined I would suggest an emibrol dered band done in black chenille and gold thread, using the same design in a narrower width for the sleeves and collar trim which would be effective if continued down the waist front on either side of a plain velvet vest. A narrow girdle having black silk and gold thread tassels would make a nice finish. The sketch of your Jacket shows three-quarter sleeves which can be left that length. The skirt lengths are a question for while the Parisian kings of fashion decree three- inches from the floor as being the proper length the independ ent. American has given little or no heed and continues wearing the short and sometimes too short skirt. So I would say that from six to eight inches would be best length at the present time. As for your black satin skirt would tain tomorrow at a large tea at 415 East Twenty-fourth street South. Since their return the Blaesings have taken apartments in the Rose Friend, as they had leased their residence. The tea will be given in the residence of Mrs. John Mann. Mrs. Mann will receive with the hostesses. The Assembly Dancing club will meet next Friday, December 9, in Laurelhurst clubhouse.

At a home wedding ceremony Wednesday Miss Nettie V. Galbreath became the bride of James F. Rtde nour. Rev. W. T. McElveen offici ated in the presence of relatives and a few close friends. Miss Edna Gal breath was bridesmaid and Lawrence Walgraeve attended the bridegroom. A buffet supper was served. The couple will make their home at Tu alatin. Today the Elks' bazaar will open and will be one of the most impor tant affairs for a large number of matrons who are actively interested in this organization. The affair will be in the Elks' temple. The public suggest that you combine with a black sport material which comes in the silk fabrics and are used in happy combination with satin. The skirts are measuring from one and three quarters yards to two or even greater widths according to the kind of ma terial used; for yours a two-yard width is best. Remove the buttons and let the combination of the new sides and a soft crush girdle ending with a silk tassle or the still newer black wooden ornament, which is used on all sorts of fa,bries, be the sole trimming on- what will be a very stunning skirt. HO AD DISTRICT CORPORATION PROVISION IS ATTACKED. Circuit Judge Bingham Declares Legislation Cannot Compel Municipal Tax Status. SALEM. Or., Dec. 1. (Special.) "To say that by a legislative flat you can make a municipal corpora tion out of a road district as now constituted 1 the equivalent of Bay ing that you can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear." This was" the statement made by G. G. Bingham, judge of the Marion county circuit court, today, when he allowed a writ of mandamus in the case brought by J. E. Kimey, repre senting road district No. 60, to com pel Oscar Steelhammer, county as sessor, to extend on the tax rolls a special levy voted for road purposes under the old law. Mr. Steelhammer previously bad refused to extend the special road tax voted In the district on the grounds that the election was not held in compliance with the budget law enacted at the 1921 session of the legislature. The decision af fects 29 road districts In Marion county, with levies aggregating $53,000. Road districts in other counties of the state which voted road taxes with out complying with the provisions of the 1921 budget law also will be af fected by the ruling of Judge Bingham.. "The road district meeting In volved in the proceedings," said Judge Bingham, in his decision, "had power and authority to vote the spe cial district tax, such tax not being within the prohibition of the 1921 budget law. The county assessor should -immediately compute and ex tend the tax as levied for the year 1921." The court held that there was no one in a road district to keep the record of expenditures, no levying board and no governing body, there fore it has not a single attribute of a municipal corporation. The neces sity for a compliance with the budget law is taken out of the operation when the tax is voted directly by the people and not by a levying board, the decision concluded. Because the case affects road dis tricts in every county in Oregon, with the exception of Lincoln, an appeal may be taken to the supreme court. The 1921 budget law designated road districts as municipal corpora tions, and provided the manner in which taxes should be levied. Championship Debaters Chosen. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene. Dec. 1.

Refusal of Commissioner Sabln to Concur in Proposed Cuts Blocks Tax Body. Three attempts to reduce the bud get of the library board, made by F. W. Mulkey, cnalrman of the tax su pervision and conservation commis sion, and Louis Goldsmith, were frus trated by the refusal of R. L. Sabln, the third member, to concur Under the law creating the com mission, no cuts in any budgets of tax-levying bodies can be made un less the decision is unanimous. As a result, the library board budg et of $277,735, of which $262,285 is raised by taxation, has been approved tentatively. The first move to reduce the budget was in a motion made by Chairman Mulkey to cut $3750. This tailed, and Chairman Mulkey then offered a mo tion to cut $25,000 from the budget, and in so doing operate the branch libraries on half time. This proposal met with opposition by Commissioner Sabin, who argued that the Itbsarles were a part of the educational system of the ity. and that money spent for education was returned two-fold. Chairman Mulkey said that the operation of the branch libraries on half time would not re move the opportunity for education, but would simply require the library patrons to select their time for utiliz ing the branch libraries. The third plan proposed by Chair man Mulkey was to place the salaries of general assistants to the 1920 sahedule, when these salaries ranged from $5 a month minimum to $12a maximum. These salaries are now $75 to $130 and it" was proposed in the budget to increase the maximum to $135. Commissioner Sabin refused to con cur in this plan and as a result the library board budget stood tentative ly approved as submitted.
