(By the Associated Press.) British pokesincn hurled, a bombshell into conference circles today.wlth the an nouncement that Frartce had asserted before the naval committee of 15 her Intention of building, between 1925 and 19.15, ten capital ships of 35,000 tons each. The statement stood un challenged from French quarters through the day It appeared that the French pro posal was submitted at the first meeting of the committee after Sec retary Hughes had announced the agreement between Great Britain. Japan and the I'niled States to aban don projected building programmes, scrap 88 capital ships, agggregatlng nearly 2,000,000 tons, and set their navies In ten years on a 5-5-3 Tatio basis as between themselves The one action disclosed at today's meet ing of the committee of 15 was the agreement not to talk of what was noing on until a conclusion had been reached. Ilroader Powrr rosalhlc. The British statement as to French proposals preceded the committee's "no talk decision." An official com munique on today's session said mere ly that the committeo met. adjourned and would meet again tomorrow. There were Indications that the French group had not concluded pre sentation of its case in the thret hour session of tha 15 committee, during the day. They are expected to continue tomorrow and pending that. It is believed, the French dele gates are in communication with their government, possibly to seek broader powers. French spokesmen have repeatedly pointed out that they were without any official knowledge of what rfai in progres in the "big three" naval negotiations culminating in the tri angular agreement. They received the officlaf announcement of the agreement late yesterday and it ap peared possible that when the French government had taken time to study closely the three-power understand ing, modifications In French pro posals might be forthcoming. Vague hints of such possible developments were in circulation tonight, but whether founded on knowledge or hope could not be determined. Ii-nNloii Not Stifled. The relentless rule of silence ap plied to committee of 15 deliberations prevented any official or even semi official explanations as to France's position. It did not prevent, however, a tumult of discussion outside the committee membership. DetallB of the French proposals were lacking. The brief glimpse of the situation gained from British sources before the secrecy curtain was rung down again by the commit tee of 15 was ample to show Its dis turbing nature. While the British-American-Japanese agreement as to the S-5-3 ratio as between themselves stands and is expected by those who negotiated it to stand against any development of the conference, the whole question of ship scrapping and shipbuilding has been upset. It was asserted authori tatively for the British viewpoint that determination of any power outside the triangular agreement to build up its naval force over present status on ai y substantial scala must of neces sity mean not a reduction of British. American and Japanese fleets as Just agreed to. but an Increase In which the 5-5-3 proportion would be main tained between the three. Itnly Want Reduction. The American and Japanese view points in this regard was presented as at one with the British, with all three powers deeply desirous of carrying out the projected naval re ductions. It was reiterated officially for Italy that she was anxious to stop naval building Immediately but wished only for a naval parity with France. A summary of these official utterances appeared to leave France alone of the five powers asking for naval Increases at the Washington conference. It was pointed out in some quarters that the first direct setback to the Washington conference called specif ically for the purpose of reducing and limiting armaments had come with Premier Briand's assertion of the FreirfTi view as to land forces and her reason for maintaining and planning To continue maintaining the greatest army in the world. All talk of an agreement here on limitation on land forces stopped with M. Briand's state ment. In his reply tn Mr. Hughes' original t-uucluJi.d uu Page 2. Cuiuiuo a.) Dr. V. S.

President Harding's message reads: "It has been an occasion of great satisfaction to me that throughout this distressing period there has been manifested all over the country so splendid a spirit of understanding and good citizenship. I am sure that I do not exaggerate when I say that I believe In no other country would such splendid order and uniform good conduct have prevailed among the people at large during a time which involved such difficult living conditions for great multitudes of people.

CASE WHERE SOCIETY emwAm mm i : m North Canal Company, Capital X by Samuel Hill and Othe 7 Invades Deschutes RegirV , O Reclamation of more tV 35.000 acres of arid land, large' .n Des chutes county, is assured by the proj ect of the North Canal company, ac cording to an official announcement made yesterday. The plan, which supersedes all others, and brings to an end a condition unfavorable to irrigation and settlement, is financed entirely by Oregon and Washington capitalists, with Samuel Hill as one of Its originators. Development of the project from the waters of 'the Deschutes river, with a huge storage reservoir at Crane Prairie, 30 miles southwest of Bend, will require in excess of $1,000,000. and will be un dertaken as soon as state approval is given. "The company is entering this field In a broad spirit' of co-operation, said Oswald West, attorney for the project, "and at all times will stand ready to assist other, projects that may be launched in that district. It is apparent that an entirely new feel ing replaces the distrust and conten tion that heretofore has retarded de velopment (here. For years the pro moters of various projects have been squabbling and standing in each other's way. The conclusion now reached, and which brought this new project into being, is that practically all such disputes can and will be Ironed out to general satisfaction." The proposed reclamation project lies betw.een Bend, Redmond and Prineville. On either hand it Is bor dered by lands already reclaimed through Irrigation, which have a total of approximately 50.000 acres. Between these lies the vast tract of equally productive land, once water Is provided, which comprises the new district. Ultimately the project will cover a tract of 50,000 acres of Carey act lands, of which 35.000 acres is irrigable. Owing to the fact, however, that the state wa ter board for the present will per mit the reclamation company to store water for only 20.000 acres, the sys tem will be constructed to this lim ited capacity, but will be enlarged later when permits to store add-iyonal water have been granted. The North Canal company recently acquired certain rights of the old Central OregonIrrigatiop company. The latter, owing to financial diffi culties, together with existing con troversies with the state and settlers, found It impossible to proceed with its plans. Many of the controversial points already have been adjusted by the North Canal company. It is said, and In view of this, together with Us certain water supply, the company believes Us project Is destined to suc ceed. Early construction seems as sured. For the storage of water necessary depend on the natural basin afforded by Crane Prairie, fed by the west fork of the Deschutes river At least 160,000 acre feet, it is planned, will be held in this reservoir, insuring an adequate supply tor the reclamation of 40.000 acres of land, as an ultimate maximum goal.

(By the Associated Press.) Camille Saint Saens. French, composer, died here suddenly this morning. Of Camille Saint-Saens, the famous Wagner said some 40 years ago: "He is the greatest living French com poser." He was the man of whom Liszt also once said: "I am Salnt Saens are the only two men left in Europe who know how to play the piano."' Saint Saens was everywhere tcknowledged as one of the greatest musicians of his time and his career overlapped three generations of mu sic lovers. Making his premier public appear ance as a pianist In Paris two years before the French revolution of '48, he lived to experience the tragedies of the great European war into which his country was plunged in 1914, and though then 80, he was still in posses sion of such vigorous energy that he undertook a mission across the seas as the French government's repre sentative at the Panama-Pacific ex position in San Francisco in 1915, and also to deliver a series of lectures in America as the "first delegate to the Franco-American commission for the development of political, economic, literacy and artistic relations." The early life of the great com poser was that of a "winder-child." Born October 3, 1835, In Paris, it is said he was hardly out of his nurse's arms before he developed a passion ate interest in sounds. "My greatest pleasure," he said in his own account, "was the symphony of the kettle on the hob." At 2 years he played the piano; he played with taste and skill at i. He studied under Benoiat and Halevy, devoting himself to piano, organ and theory to such purpose that he be came a prize winner in the conserva toire. His first symphony was written and performed when he was 17 with success by the Soclete de Sainte Cecilie. He became organist of tire Church of St. Merri in 1853 and or ganist of the Madeleine in 1858. He did some teaching also at that time, but gave most of his time to his be loved occupation of composing. His facility in that direction was the basis of many stories. There are few erasures on his manuscripts. He put ideas down rapidly on paper, chat ting sometimes the while, and he needed no piano to assist him. He wrote his opera, "Proserpine," with out having an instrument in reach. As a student of the music of other masters, he was probably without a rival. Yet one of the peculiarities of Saint-Saens and his. work It is said to be a distinction which he alone of recent composers of consequence pos sessed was his complete Independ ence of Richard Wagner. He alone, in the opinion of most authorities, would have be"en what he has been it Wagner had never existed. And yet he helped France to understand Wag ner. As he himself said: "I admire the works, of Richard Wagner pro toundly in spite of their eccentricities.

A vote on the question of ratification of th peace treaty be tween Ireland and Great Britain will be taken at a public session of the Dail Eireann Monday morning at 11 o'clock, according to an announce ment made public tonight signed by Eamonn de Valera an! Arthur Grif fith. The announcement issued through the publicity department of the Dail Eireann follows: "The private sessions of the Dail Eireann will end tomorrow evening and a motion for ratification of the treaty will be made at a public ses sion at 11 o'clock Monday. We are confident that the Irish people will continue to maintain the same calm dignity and discipline they hitherto have displayed. (Signed) "DE VALERA. "GRIFFITH." LONDON, Dec. 16. (By the Associ ated Press.) Ratification of the Irish peace treaty was given today by both houses of the British parliament by overwhelming majorities. - Voting Early In Afternoon. . The dissident minority in the house of lords was 47 and that in the house of commons 58. In the upper house, the vote was 166 to 47; in the lower chamber it was 401 to 58. Parliament would have been immc aiately prorogued but for the fact that the government desired to keep it. in being until the decision by thi Dail Eireann is known. Preparations made by the cabinet ministers last night to keep the house sitting for an exhaustive debate today proved useless, as the votes In both houses were taken early In the afternoon. The speech made In the house of commons yesterday by Andrew Bonar Law, the unionist leader, in which he declared himself In favor of the agreement, seemingly had taken the life out of the "die-hard" opposition and the result In the lower chamber was a foregone conclusion. The only dcubt that appeared to remain at the commencement of the session was as ta what would be the size of the op posing minority. The house of lords had been traditionally most bitter against any reference to Ireland and its attitude therefore had presented elements of anxiety, -although the be lief had predominated that In the face I of the approval of the treaty by the king, the cabinet ministers, tho coun try and thA emnire. even the lnr.1.1 could hardly reject the treaty.

Lord Carson of Duncalrn. and Lord Birkenhead, the chancellor of the exchequer. The galleries were filled with peeresses, while the steps to the throne were occupied by privy councillors and cabinet ministers, the latter Including Premier Lloyd George and Winston Spencer Churchill, secre tary for the colonies. Lord Birkenheads speech was martnly ax repetition of the arguments he had used on previous occasions in behalf of a settlement of the discord with Ireland and after the curiosity over his reproaches of Lord Carson's "wild and foolish words" had been ex hausted, there was no interest in the continued deliberations and a vot was immediately taken. Prolonged cheering greeted the an nouncement of the vote . (n both houses. In the house of commons the Ulster ites and other "die hards" fought to the end. Both votes were taken on amendments proposed to the king's speech from the throne on Wednes day asking ratification of the treaty. In the commons Colonel John Gretton, conservative, proposed the amend ment and in the lords the duke of Northumberland performed a similar task. I.onl Carson Answered. Lord Birkenhead began his reply to recent utterances of Lord Carson of Duncairn, the ex-Ulster leader in i the house of commons, Derore a crowded house In the upper chamber, by reminding" Lord Carson of the "unwisdom and rashness" of talking of the government but not daring to go before the country on the treaty.
