(A. P.) Secretary Hughes received a cablc Kram from Ambassador Harvey stating France was expected to accept the American proposal for limitation of capital ships, allotlng 175,000 tons for France and Italy. Tho French ac ceptance was on a tonnage and not a ratio basis. Slav Hack Down WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. (A. P.) The. French delegation is believed, to day to be ready to "back .down"' from their stand for the world's third navy. The French delegation nto not mak ing such statements for publication. They contented themselves with say ing they had advices from Paris which were not conclusive. It was thought Premier Lloyd-George und Premier Briand, cut short their todays London reparation conference so ns to talk re garding the French naval aspirations.

P.) -According to high American au thority Premier Br and has ordered the French delegation to surrender Its stand for the world's third navy nnd accept the decision reached by the other powers, giving the French it ratio of 1-.75 In the "D-r.-3-l.75" ratio of the United States, England, Japan, France and Italy, respectively. This presages an agreement on tho naval situation, which threatened the har mony of the conference. Secretary Hughes will probably make a drive to settle the submarine question, brought up by Great Britain, which favors abolishing tlifim. In Premier Brtand's reply to Secretary Hughes it Is understood he stated France reserved the right to say later what her submarine tonnage would be, which makes that subject more complex and may retard the settle, ment of the naval situation.
