ATO INKfEN NTATK.MrT Vice Admiral Kato. chief Japanese aval expert, has Issued a statement -hat Japan must adhere to her demand for 70 per cent of American or British pltal ship strength, since that is the minimum required for her security. As I reported Monday thle Issue has been taken out of the hands of the naval sperta and entruMted to statesmen. 1 to not know whether the statesmen have already reached a satisfactory agree merit, but 1 would be surprised were such agreement to be Indefinitely delayed. Upon other a? peels. of the naval nues- lon substantial progress seems to have been made. There Is an undercurrent of confidence In this respect among" the principal delegates tht cannot be en tirely Justified. Confidence appears to ba felt In other respects also.

JO. The naval ex perts of the United States, Great Britain and Japan met in secret for nearly two hours today and failed to break the deadlock which has arisen from Japan's refusal to accept the ratio of 10-10-6 laid down in the original- Hughes proposal. When the session broke up, it was learned that the experts would report to their respective delegations' that no head way had been " made, leaving the prin cipal delegates themselves to thresh out the matter. KATO MAKES DEMAND It is understood that at this morn ing's session Vice Admiral Kato, chief of the Japanese naval advisors, for mally demanded that the ratio for . his country be changed from 60 per ccnl to 70 per cent. This was rejected by the American experts. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt, Admiral R. E. Coontz and Rear Admiral Pratt It is expected that the American ad visors will urge Secretary of State Hughes to make public the detailed fig ures upon which the American calcula tions were based. These figures will show that from any conceivable angle of figuring, Japan's existing naval strength cannot be estimated at more than the 60 per cent which she has been allotted. -STOP WHERE YOU ARE" The basis of the American program Dan Cupid Makes Two Touchdowtis Cupid win lead the University of Ore gon footbaU squad on its Invasion of the Hawaiian islands during' the -Christmas ' holidays. - i -- The little love matchmaker has scored two touchdowns against the Heads of the Oregon gridironers.

Whether the woman who swore to the charge of manslaughter on which Roscpe Arbuckle is now being tried, would take the witness stand was the one big ques tion of the day. Eoth sides admitted she would not be called if it could be avoided but her name has been mentioned more and more by witnesses and she is being drawn slowly closer to the stand. WITNESS ARRESTED The arrest of Mcs. Minnie Neighbors, witness for Arbuckle, on a charge of Pvrjury, is one of the big surprises of tht- trial. The arrest was on complaint of District Attorney Matthew Brady. The Leo Seredrick, , child of the Russian steppes, has a fondness for drink and a dislike for Harry Barney, the well educated r.lght watchman of the Liberty theatre who is alleged to have organ ized a group of his fellow countrymen for a robbery of the theatre, November 7, of approximately $9000. Seredrick solemnly avows that he entered the plot solely for the .sake of accepting the club swinging role and thus appeasing his repugnance to Bar ney. He gleefully admits that it was he who lambasted Barney over the head when the latter pretended to come to the rescue of other theatre employes. Seredrick confessed his part in the robbery, this morning in the Multnomah county jail. He was arrested in Seattle Monday, following the' : arrest here of Mrs. John Printer and son, Andrew, Joe Watkins and Barney who is known to immigration officials as Butenko, all of whom gave confessions. Printer is yet at large. Seredrick blames Watkins for getting him to participate in the robbery. He says that prior to the robbery Watkins told him of the plans as arranged by Barney and solicited his help. DEVIL DIDN'T TEMPT "The devil didn't tempt me," said Seredrick. "I got enough money from working to suit me." On the morning of the robbery, how ever, Seredrick. on his way to work, stopped at Watkins' home at 691 Savter street. Mr. and Mrs. Printer and son Andrew and Watkins were, all there. They greeted Seredrick with much fer vor and gayety. There was plenty of moonshine on the table. "They gave me some drinks and then Watkins called me aside and handed me an iron club covered by cloth and paper. Tou use this to hit Barney with,' he told me. "I don't like that fellow Barney, any way,, and I went along to the theatre. mm m By Jame VT.

Meanwhile Ital ians burn the French flag: Cur son is on the war lath again and Lloyd George 3000 miles away. If Germany is as powerful, as much to be dreaded, as Briand said, then th obvious thing to do is to invite Germany into this conference cut down tne im possible indemnity, restore stolen Upper Silesia and so remove the cause of future wars. Call It what you will, the League of Nations' idea comes back like the proverbial cat. LESSOX SOT LEARNED In February last.

We, who foufrht for the league, will welcome it, traveling under no mat ter what name. With Bryan. I advo cated accepting the league with the Lodge reservations. As time soes on and the intense racial antipathies of Europe are disclosed, we see that years of dreadful war, in the Balkans fir?. and then in the great war. have not yet taught these hot bloods of Europe the lesson of peace, and so in this country the disinclination to bind ourselves to send our yoang meiWt fight in these disputes has been solidly confirmed.

TAKES CRACK AT BARXET "When I saw Barney come out of a door I gave him a good crack." he said. Seredrick said that when the division of the spoils was made at the home of Pavel Ordiechuck, in Linnton. he did not take any of the money. "They offered me some, but I wouldn't take it.- I got enough money when I work. J didn't want to be in ou the robbery, but " Seredrick grinned and wagged his head in apparent keen satis faction "I don't like that fellow, any way." Both Seredrick and Barney, in sep arate grlUings by District Aorney Myers, declare that Printer took most of the money. Seredrick says ' that Printer took his share when he refused it and Barney says that, . being unable to attend the meeting at the Ordiechuck of individuals called nations In this pause In the battle for pence the reserves of the church should be clattering to the iront page Billy Sunday. I Must this effort fall and the world go back to fortified frontiers and outposts of hate? Is Bernard Shaw right? He says that the' nearest dog fight tells us that m ar will never end.

No challenge followed no duel and because of his failure to resent the Insult from a drunkard the fashion of the asy, demanded, because this quiet gentler man did not think it necessary to rial his life before the pistol of a noted duelist. he was ostracised, boycot ted, sent to Coventry and compelled to leave society and New Yorlu WE CAK PROGRESS We can progress we have progressed since that day private war has beeo abolished can we do away with public war? Have the thousands of martyrs of re ligion snd democracy died in vain? The corpses of the fallen In this great war placed head to heel would reach around the world. When IL G. Wells, the great British novelist, came to this country to write of the conference, Ralph Pulitser gave him a dinner. There were there those literary and those financial and those political. When Wells rose to address them he spoke In a most pessimistic vein "We are a." said he. "on a sink ing ship, and all our present life and civilization are in danger of foundering. It was refreshing to see the other truest, headed by young Chauncey Lepew (only t7), rise, one by one. and cry out the gospel of optimism. Even the tact ful speech of Max Kastman. New York revolutionist, was tinged with the colors of the rainbow. We in America are Invincible In our optimism. The ship on which we are embarked shall not sink. No, we will load the old ship with good wishes and ideals and help and hope, and sail it. a - relief ship of the imagination. Into every port of the world.

Efforts of the department of public works of the state of Washington to prevent enforcement of the 5 per cent increase in rail rates to Puget Sound, ordered by the interstate commerce commission-in the Columbia river rate case, failed, according to advices received by A.

The courts granted a temporary injunction to the railroads restraining the department of public works from en forcing a suspension order against the application of the rates. Spencer was informed. This advice. Spencer said, is another step offsetting the determined attempts of the state of Washington to nullify as lone as possible the benefits accruing to Portland from tne coiumDia Basin raw case. This Injunction will continue un til a final hearing can be held on the question. Although the department or public works was unable to attack the Inter state application of the Columbia Basin rates which permitted a S per cent reduc tion in rates to Portland, It has been attempting since the decision to with hold the intrastate application which provided for a 5 per cent increase In rates to Puget Sound territory from the Snake river section.

Unconditional rejection of the American proposal for naval reduction to a 6-5-J basis will be Japan's final ultimatum to the confer ence, it was stated today by one of the chief naval advisers - of the Japanese delegation. The Tokio delegation will throw the armament and Far East conference Into a "winter siege" rather than recede from their demand for a 10-10-7 raUo, the high naval expert declared. In explaining Japan's ' determined stand, the Nipponese naval authority adopted General Grant's famous decla-! ration. We will fight It out along this line If it takes all summer."

The deten tion of, the island empire Is In full ac cord with the Hughes proposal "as a principle," but is Irrevocably opposed t the American 'Interpretation.' The Americana will not agree to the Japanese method of determining exist ing naval strengths," the naval au thority said. "Japan cannot and win not sgree to the American method of determining actual naval strengths. We cannot and will not compromise on the American plan."
