rain which wu not heavy but steady,
and a wet and slippery football, the Or

their fourth scoreless game. It was the

the game was a duplicate of last year's
battle at CorvaJlla. but In actual play
IK Lemon-Tallow held the upper hand,
aa "Shy" Huntington's men made five
first downa. Including one from passing.
while the Aggies made but two, one of

The condition of the field prevented

With a clear blue eye and thin serl-r

The lad walked In and the lobby

Jenkins called the men about him. He
read them the note. It was from the
mother of the boy. She Hives In the

Portland with this son. For a while
she worked and then took in a few,
boarders. Her little supply of money
dwindled and dwindled away. She

She and her son were actually hungry!
They did not want to ask for charity;

SCHOOL CHARGES TO
', By David Lawreace
(rrrthU 1JI. bt Ttw Jonl
Washington, Nov. 14. A climax has
com rather unexpectedly In the arma
ment conference. Japan has sought to
vary the principles which, she accepted
at, the outset. Voder the guise of dis
cussing "details, the Japanese have
brought forward a proposal to Increase
the sise Of their navy beyond the point
laid down by the Hughes program, which
thf Jspaaese "accepted la principle" laat
Tuesday.
The answer of the American delega
tion te such tactics Is the outstanding
drama tie event f the conference. Sec
retary Hughes told President Harding
end bis entire cabinet the situation and
was given full approval to go ahead -with
the plan he had In mind, it la that the
American Tteval proposals must stand
as they are with respect to battleships
and battle cruisers, and that only by tho
formula of limitation announced in the
Hushes program can cempeittion be
stopped. '
AXSWERISrUX
The American answer la made la firm
and unmistakably emphatic terms. The
Vailed States delegation does not mean
te be drawn Into such a diseussioor of
detail as will endanger the main ptiiw
rlplea which already have been accepted
b Great Britain and Japan, it was In.
(table that a dlverlence of Opinion
would arise and that an effort had
seen mace to see how strongly the
united Btates really was entrenched
behind her proposals. The American
delegation now has left no room for
doubt AS one Influential member of
the American group expressed it, the
competition In big battleships "is over
and la a thing of the past.-- or else "we
must go ahead with our building proj
gram. He emphasised also a very im
portant point on which perhaps the
Japanese misunderstanding of the
American - program Is based. Baron
Kato put forth the suggestion that
Japan "needs" a 70 per cent navy.- He
pointed to Japan's defensive require
ments. That's where he made his ra up
take, the American delegates point out
for the naval program proposed by Mil.
Hughes was by no. means designed te
meet the "needs" of a nation, for, if
that were' the case, there would be endj-
lees debate and aa agreement to stop
competition in building probably would
be hopeless.

The American program, on the other
hand, waa based upon an effort to main
tain the existing ratio of strength, but
not to add any more ships. On that
fundamental, the American delegation
remains adamant. There will be no eonf

Camas, Wash., Nov. 19. The substa
tion of the Northwestern Electric com
pany here burned to the ground in
spectacular fire tonight with a loss esti
mated at 175.000. The destruction of
the station caused a temporary shut
down in the Crown-Willamette paper
milt here and left the city In darkness.
The mill will reopen in the morning,
when the high power line from the White
Salmon plant will be tapped. Camas
has been promised temporary light and
power service by Tuesday night.
Explosions due to contact between
high power wires, which caused brilliant
flashes, visible for miles about Camas,
drew a throng of spectators. The fire
was. caused when an overhead wire.
carrying 68,000 volts, was short circuited
about 8:30 o'clock. Firemen were ham
pered by lack of water as the substation
is on the outskirts of town and also by
the fact that fences of the neighborhood
became charged with electricity, the. re
sult of being crossed -by a high power
Wire which fell during the blaxe.
A freak of the fire was the fact that
the electric fire siren, installed here
several months ago, failed to sound
warning for the. first fire since Its In
stillation. Lack of power doe to the
destruction of the plant put the siren
out before a warning could be sounded.
S. C Carlton, local manager, said re-cx-nstruction
of the substation would be
undertaken at once.' Much of the loss
Is covered by insurance it. is said.
The Northwestern Electric sub-station
at Camas, Wash., which was destroyed
by fire Saturday night, was a wood and
concrete structure erected about 10
years ago, according to local officials
of the company. The origin of the fire
had not been determined Saturday night.
they said. It was stated that electrical
service would be furnished to the city
of Camas from the White Salmon plant
and that the fire - would not seriously
cripple the facilities of the company.
