Seventy Percent Navy-
Status Sought In
Place of American
L Jf
Proposal
Washington, Nov. 30. (By As
eoclated Press.) Coincident with
the first meeting Tuesday in near
ly a week of the committee of
naval experts, the question of a
60 or 70 per cent naval ratio for
Japan had become the outstand
ing Issue of the conference thru
the definite announcement by
Vice Admiral Kato, chief Japa
nese naval expert that Japan
wants the 70 per cent status. In
the first authoritative announce
ment that Japan sought to replace
the "6-5-3" ratio oasis of the
American naval limitation pro
posal, giving her a 60 per cent
status, with a 70 per cent ratio
for her fleet, Vice Admiral Kato
declared this was the minimum
necessary lor Japan's security.
Against this definite announce
ment of the Japanese position, the
American naval experts still gave
very indication today of firm ad
herence to the view that 60 per
eent for Japan is the maximum
naval strength that could be ac
cepted In view of American liabil
ities and Interests in the Pacific.
In addition to a final agreement
looked for soon to gradually
abolish the system of extra-territorial
rights in China, under
which foreign governments have
let up their own courts there, the
Far Eastern committee of the con
ference also was prepared to take
Up China's request for withdrawal
of foreign troops . stationed on
her soil without treaty sanction.
Discussion of the latter question
may bring up for the lirst time
the Shantung and Mancuurlan
controversies.
Posed As Marine
Once Too often
Washington, Nov. 30. "Tell It
to the Marines" Is time-worn, so
David Louis, ex-drummer In the
marine corps, reversed the Idea
and had a good time for a while-
He ts now In the "brig" at the
marine base at Quantlco, Va., un
der a choice assortment of charges,
According to marine officials
Louis deserted his station abroad
the battleship California while in
port at San Francisco. He next
turned up in Fort Dodge, Iowa,
where he told everybody he was a
recruiting sergeant. He hired a
pretty stenographer to run the
offLce, told her she would receive
$38 per week, and also "contract
ed" for his lodgings with certain
residents in the city, making oth
er contracts for his meals with
others. In each instance he told
them they would get $1 per meal
and $1 per night for his lodging.
When things got too urgent at
Fort Dodge Louis told everybody
good-bye.
Later he arrived in Hazelton,
Pa., where he told them he was a
marine aviator. He wore an avl
ator's uniform to prove It. He un
dertook the same game there as he
did at other points. But he told
one too many, and as result " the
marines told him to come home,
and no doubt will tell him some
other things later. But Louis
"told" his way from California to
Pennsylvania before he was told
of his arrest. '
Denies Classifying
Chicago As Sixth
Hun City of World
Chicago, Nov. 30. Mayor
Thompson did not classify Chicago
as "the sixth German city in th
World," his attorney. David
Jackson, declared before Circuit
Judge Brothers, in argument on a
demurrer In the mayor's $500,000
libel suit against the Chicago Trl
bune. The classification quoted
bad been attributed to the mayor
In newspaper Interviews concern
ing the mayor's declination to In
vite Marshal Foch of France to
this city, a courtesy which the
mayor explained he had left to the
city council to extend.
"Did he ask the council to in
vile him!" Judge Brothers asked-
The answer was negative.

ing the five-hour battle with the

gained considerable headway
The lnflamable nature of a por
tion of the stock carried by the
