old PROGRAMME BASIS
JStilldinx of Fleet of 450,000 Tous
Abandoned Because of Out
break of War.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 14. (By
ho Associated Press.) France will
ask for an allotment of 315,000 tons
of capital ship and a proportionate
percentage In smaller classes when
the question of the French and Italian
navies is taken up, possibly tomor
row or Friday by the conference na
val committee of 15.
This was disclosed authoritatively
tonight by a spokesman of the Frnch
delegation.
The French basis takes the pro
gramme- adopted by the French par
liament in 1912 which, had it been
completed, would have given a fleet
of 4 50.000 tons. The war caused the
programme to be abandoned. Present
requirements of France, It will be
represented, are both in the remote
Pacific and continental, the defense in
Europe covering two naval fronts,
the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.
Algeria Communication Cited.
Communications with Algeria, It
also Is held by the French, would be
of vital Importance in war because of
the necessity of transporting troops
nd supplies freely.
The French delegates have assumed,
tholr spokesman said, that they will
no. encounter a spirit of dictation re
specting what are considered to be
European requirements in a confer
ence called to deal with Pacific naval
proportions. There have been so pre
liminary studies by this conference, it
whs pointed out, of European prob
lems, discussions having been con
fined to the far east.
Some suggestion has been made In
French quarters that France's naval
ratio was a subject of direct nego
tiation between France and Great
Britain and it is considered possible
that Premiers Brland and Lloyd
George may discuss the question at
their meeting in London.
Itnly'a Needs Dlncuaard.
Senator Schanzer, in talking of
Italy's naval needs to newspaper men
today, said the Italians will go into
the committee with two principles.
me first is, he said, that we
hall have the same ratio as France
the second that the ratio be a low
one, because we do not desire to build
up to a large one."
He alluded to the length of Italy's
coasts, her dependence on sea com
munlcatlons for a large part of her
food and her Inclosed position In the
Mediterranean and said that France
quite agreed to Italy's having the
same ratio as the French.
a portion of the Sulslaw forest and
the road will be of great benefit in
opening up the coast section. The
county has appropriated more th,
SaOO.OOO for use on the various sec
tions of this highway, which Is being
constructed as rapidly as possible.
Heretofore the county has received
no co-operation nor aid "kn building
the highway with the exception of a
small amount of market road money.
If the government will assist by ap
propriating the sums asked it Is
thought that sufficient funds will be
on hand to-complete the project. The
county asks that the money be ap
priated frrim the fund recently made
available by congress for road work
In or adjacent to national forests.

Identity of Victim Established by
Portland Friends Willi Whom
He Had Worked.
OREGON CITY. Or., Dec. 14. (Spe
cial.) Search for a blonde man about
25 years old has been instituted y
the authorities as a possible clew in
the case of the murder of E. E. Davis,
Molalla homesteader, who was dis
covered in bed with his hsjid split in
two.
The man. about the same age as
the murder victim, was the last per
son seen with Davis November 18,
supposed to be the day of the murder.
He was said to .have accompanied
Davis to the cabin on the homestead
in the Busselvllle country after his
last trip to Molalla.
Davis, whose Identity was doubted
for some time by Sheriff Wilson, was
Identified positively today by S. C.
Ford and O. W. Stein, employes ttt the
B. F Goodrich Rubber company, for
whom Davis was a salesmun. They
said Davis was of notably upright
character. Davis was formerly in the
employ of the Goodrich people In
Montana, operating from Great Falls
and Butte. He was employed in the
Portland office In 1920. Coroner Pace
has received orders to ship the body
to Indianapolis, the family home.
Investigation today discredited the
theory that robbery might be the
motive for the murder. Davis' ac
counts showed that about once a week
he went to Portland, drawing from
$20 to $25 from his account at the
United States National bank. Novem
ber 14 he drew $20, which was the
kist entry made
The theory that Davis might have
been killed by someone Interested in
the collection of his $10,000 war risk
Insurance, policy was scouted here
after it was learned from Indianapolis
that the policy is in his father's favor.
The auto which belonged to the
dead ma was brought to Oregon
City Wednesday by District Attorney
Stipp and County dirk Miller. Al
though ldjpntlf ication of Davis was
practically certain, finger prints were
sent today to be compared with offi
cial records of the war department at
Washington.

WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 14.
(Special.) This has been a gala day
for Japan alt round. It has Dee a an
nouncetf'by a high American spokes
man that the naval ratio question is
progressing toward a happy conclu
sion In no distant future, showing
that the behavior of Japan Is not so
bad as has been suspected In some
quarters.
Then, at the Chinese-Japanese con
versations over the Shantung ques
tions today, which began at 3:15
o'clock? and lasted until nearly 6 P. M.,
something really big came to pass;
something really significant, more
especially from the Japanese point of
view. I asked an. authoritative
spokesman of the Chinese delegation
this question tonight:
"Have the negotiations over the
Shantung railway, between you and
the Japanese representatives reached
the point where Japan Is willing to
discuss it on the basis of selling it
to China and China buying it from
Japan? In other words, have China
and Japan come to the point of set
tling the matter on the basis of
monetary considerations?"
"That is my understanding." was
the answer of the Chinese delegate.
Japanese Parries ReplyT
A short time afterward, I asked an
authoritative spokesman of the Japa.
nese delegation the question:
"I have Just been told by a gen
tleman of the Chinese delegation that
the Shantung negotiations between
China and Japan have reached the
point that Japan Is willing to sell
the Shantung railway to China. May
I know whether that is true?"
The spokesman of the Japanese
delegation objected to the word "sell."
When I asked him, therefore,
whether Japan was willing to settle
the question on the basis of monetary
considerations the Japanese spokes
man declined to answer the quesnti
on the ground that this was noxUhe
proper time to make any statements
whatever on that particular point.
From the above It is not difficult
to fill in the picture. What came to
pass at the Japanese-Chinese con
versations over Shantung is some
thing really big and significant. It
was the one great constructive thing
in fact, which has come to the fore in
bringing the two great Asian lands
Into a truly neighborly understanding
one with the other. And in this
Japan deserves an infinitely greater
credit than appears on the mere sur
face of the thing, for no one for a
moment would question what a really
great sacrifice all this spejls to Japan.
Japan Pays T rem end mm Price.
Look, for example, what a tre
mendous price she has paid for Shan
tung. This incident is freighted with
a meaning as big as the future of the
Japanese-China policy, which, after
all Is said and done, Is the biggest
prrltlcal factor in the whole of the
far east. For this attitude of Japan
toward her neighbor means. If It
means anything at all, that the Japan
of today is as utterly and revolution
ary different from the Japan of the
so-called 2L demands "as the moon is
from a mud turtle," as we say at
home. v
Here is the one outstanding refuta
tion of all the myriads of denuncia
tions, mean and yellow insinuations
of countless enemies of Japan, both
among the sensational writers and
still more among the so-called smug
and scholarly authorities of China.
For here is a fact and a pretty big
one, too which no amount of words
can possibly wipe out of existence.
A few million words have been writ
ten in a few years past assuring the
good and trusting American public
that Japan jiever, fiever would get
out of Shantung in all the blue moonj
of story books.
Wordy Mghtmare Dispelled.
And todv. there comes along a lit
tle incident in the eternal scheme of
things and knocks all the wordy
nightmare castle of defamation sky
high. For after what has happened
today here In Washington, at the Chi
nese - Japanese conversations over
Shantung, the fashiosiable work of
tarring and feathering every action if
Japan in China will not be quite as
easy as it used to be. Japan should
be congratulated to the utmost degree
for her far-seeing, statesmanlike at
titude In this matter, for being hu
man. The loss of this magnitude must
rf necessity have its effects on her.
It is big enough to hurt anybody. It
Is really a heroic thing which '.he
Japanese delegation and the govern
ment which it represents achieved to
day. Militarists Are Dying Hard.
There Is, still, even to this day. no
small elements in Japan in the fond
embrace of that unholy dream some
times known as "the continental pol
icy" of Japan the aggressive policy
of the Japanese militarists which
been advertised the world over wltii
such consummate skill and the lead
ers of our country .who are here must
"face the music" over the new en
lightened policy which assumed su;hi
an encouraging proportion at the con
versations today.
TOKIO ACCEPTS NAVY RATIO
adverse criticism In the -newspapers
over the quadruple entente, the dis
position of the people generally, after,
sober contemplation, appears to be In
favor of its acceptance as evidence of
the good faith of all the participants i
In the treaty.
Viscount Uchlda, in an interview
today, said with rqgard to the quadruple-power
treaty:
"It is regrettable that a pact (the
Anglo-Japanese treaty) with Its glor-.
lous histor of 20 years should end.
The British people doubtless share
this sentiment, but it is a matter for
congratulations that the alliance
should be enlarged Into a quadruple
entente with bigger possibilities for
contributing to the cause of peace
and within greater spheres.
"The entente Is important, less on
account of the phraseology -of the
treaty than by the fact that the four
powers are permitted to exchange
views on the maintenance of peace in
the Pacific through diplomatic instead
of military measures."
He said he expected another agree
ment would be concluded on the basis
of the Root resolution. The conten
tion that theasquadruple entente con
travened the league of nations cove
nant -was held to be without basis.
On the contrary, the adherence of
Great Britain. France and Japan as
members of the league of nations was
said to add a guarantee for peace and
to enlarge the purview of the cove
nant. The agreement with regard to Yap
and the mandated Islands north of
the equator was a matter of congrat
ulation, he said.

POTATO STANDARDS FIXED
Bulletin Announcing Decision Is
Published at Capital.
TOKIO. Dec. 14. (By trie Asso

naval ratio of the arms conference
was announced in a bulletin today,
ending weeks of speculation and ar
guments in the press and conferences
in political circles. The announce
ment created general satisfaction and
gave welcome relief from the tension
under which various elements had
been laboring.
There had been apparent for some
time a desire by cabinet members to
see an end to the negotiations and
the completion of an agreement along
the lines originally proposed at
Washington, provided always that
Japan's interests were safeguarded.
The spirit animating the ministry was
voiced by Viscount Uchlda, foreign
rulnlster. who In a report to the cabi
net council yesterday tainted out, ac
cording to the official organ of the
government, that "the blind persist
ency of claiming a 70 per cent ratio
not only is inimical to the very spirit
of limitation of armament but is det
rimental to the eventual success of
the conference."

"About five years ago my stomach
went wrong and my appetite com
pletely failed. Some things I ate
would upset me for a week and at
times I couldn't retain any thing.
Sometimes when at work I was at
tacked by such sharp, cramping pains
and I had to be taken home. I also
had rheumatism so bad I kept going
down hill until I actually lost thirty
five pounds.
"Some of the boys at the Shipyards
put me on to Tanlac. I had hardly
started on it good when my appetite
picked up and I began taking on
weight and strength. I eat like a
plowboy now and, the best part of It.
I can eat Just anything I want and
never suffer a particle from Indiges
