Jjuring the delivery of his opening sentences, however, it became known that lie was bespeaking Japan's ac ceptance of the "American proposals in principle as had Mr. Balfour be fore him.

She is satisfied it will relieve nations of vast expen ditures and cannot but make for the pence of the world. "Japan has no desire for a fleet equal to the United States or Great Britain. Japan is ready to proceed to a sweeping reduction in naval arma ment, but wants to propose a few modifications in the American plan." When h said "Japan is ready to proceed with a determination fur sweeping reduction in naval arma ment," tho audience, rose, and ap plauded. "Tiie nations must bo provided with such arms as are required for their security." tho Japanese spokesman continued. "This requirement must be fully weighed. With consideration of this requirement a few modifications to the proposals from the United States will be proposed for replacement of the various classes of ships. This must be given special consideration by the naval experts, and when such modifications are prepared, I believe that the American and other dele gates will consider them with the same consideration that our delegates will give to theirs." Baron Kato declared the American plan would relieve tho nations of great expenditures and "cannot fail to JL. make for the peace of the world." fCnntinupd on ree rIO T CHICAGO. Nov. 13.

Miss Clare Van fant ceases her valuable services as librarian of the .-iMedford iubli' library tonight, in accordaneo Avlth -her resignation ten-' tiered to tho , Imbllc library board some time ago; Tho announcement of her retirement will be received with much regret on the part of tho gene ral public, both city and county, among whom she made many warm friends and acquaintances during her two years' service at the head of the library. Tho members of the library board also regret to lose her services -.ind pay high tribute to her ability as a li brarian and tho success and growth which attended the library during ier regime. It was under Miss Van Want's direction that tho popular county li brary system with the Medford li brary as tho base was inaugurated. Until the first of .January no ap pointment will bo made by the li brary board of Miss Van Sant's suc cessor, and Miss 15. F. Woolsey, first assistant librarian will be in charge as acting librairian. The board has ap pointed Mrs. Blanch Lyman, wife of the forest ranger in the Union creek district, and a graduate, of the Car negie library school at Pittsburg, with t years library experience, as an as sistant librarian. She goes on duty tomorrow. Miss Van Sant's plans for the future are not yet announced. The relations between the library board and Miss Van Sant have been harmonious, and her resignation comes about because the board cannot grant the increased pay which she feels she ought to draw in a city of Medford's library class, and which the hoard feels that it will be impossible to pay without crippling tho library service. Since the establishment of the county library system a year ago Miss Van Sant has drawn a salary of $1500 a year. I,ast spring she asked the board for a three-year contract at $2100 a year, and stated she would not remain after Ibis year at a less salary than $11100. In view of the financial support which the city will receive next year from both the city and county, and of the rapidly increasing library cir- ulation both in city and county the board could not grant a ?f00 increase in the librarian's salary, oven were its members so disposed, without taking it off the book purchasing fund. It is said that Miss Van Sant's interest in the welfare of the library was such that she would not accept an increase if it had to be lopped frum the pur chasing fund, which Is not any too large. The library board will get the same millage tax from the city and county for next year's revenue as it received this year, which was of a mill finiii the county. When the county budget was being prepared for next year re- ently, the library board, through Its vice-president. O. f Hoggs. akod Hie ounty court for an increase of of l mill. It then developed that the county, by law, can't make a levy increa f I.- than .1 nf a milt. mil it WIS tho II- tllOUKht imIKiSKllilo to lliak more than was asKefl lor. Itini loo, the rounty court declared that if tbey made a levy for :i new national uuard armory wbi' h they bad de'id. to it would lie impossible to rar.f a li brary increase for the support of the library system.
