(By 1}, _LA Bradford.)—Japan will firmly insist on an increase in' capital s_hlp tonnage; over that allowed her' in Hughes proposal for limitation of naval ar- maments, according to authoritative infromation received from Japanese: quarters today. Y A The Japanese believe thep‘ dread- naught tonnage, as the American pro- gram for limitation “of naval arma- ments is put into effect, should be 70 per cent as great as that,of the United States and Great Britain, in- stead of 60/ per cent as proposed by Secretary Hughes: ' ‘ This information was obtained by the United Press following a state- ment of high American .spokesman regarding large ship tonnage. The United' States and Japan, thus seem to be in a position of almost direct opposition on the question of limita- tion of ‘armaments and the first fight of the conference is threatened.

'-Indian music and American composers were emphasized through- out. 3 The opening number was a paper by Miss Grace Blomberg on ‘““Indian Music,” Victor Herbert, and Her- bert’s Opera of ‘Natoma.” Miss Blomberg described the action of “Na- toma” in a most vivid and interesting manner. Three numbers from ' the opera were introduced during the re- sume, one the “Dagger Dance” play- led on the Victrola, and two sopranos solog sung by Mrs. Dorothy Torrance | MacMillan. The first of these solos was, “I List the Trill of Golden Throat,” a composition of peculiar and difficult technique with an accom- paniment descriptive - of the singing of birds and rustling of leaves, writ- ten cwith its melody almost against that of the voice. “Beware of the|’ Hawk,” a plaintive lullaby, in which simplicity is the chief charm, follow- ed. Mrs. MacMillan’s full, round voice in the first number, and her sweet, carefully modulated tones in the second, were heard to excellent advantage in her artistic rendition of these songs. ‘Miss Ragnhild Moe de- serves much credit-for her able. ac- companiments. Three violin numbers by Miss Leila Stanton followed. The first, “An In- dian Village* (Burleigh), descriptive of a slow movement. . “The Snake Dance”_ (Burleigh) is a vivid composi- tion suggestive of the dance indicated by its title. The third number, “An Indian Legend” (Baron), while' not so typically- Indian as the others, sketches in a simple way a story of Indian life. In the first and third numbers, Miss Stanton played with| rich expression and resonance, while her execution of the more animated and fiery “Snake Dance” was exceed- ingly brilliant. = Mrs. Oliver Riggs ac- companied Miss Stanton in her usual able and happy manner. The reading of “Hiawatha’s Woo- ing,” by Miss Vera . Backus, with musical ~ accompaniment . played by Mrs. E. W. Johnson, completed the program. . Each part of this number, ‘the loved “words™ by Longfellow and the exquisite accompaniment by.Ros- siter G. Cole, is a thing of beauty by itself. - Combined, the result was most impressive. ~Miss Backus® stage presence. was excellent and her. rich voice read into the well known lines a 'new meaning and charm. Mrs. Johnson, at.the piano, executed her part in a highly satisfactory and mu- sicianly manner. . The- largest attendance so far at- tested to ‘ever “inceasing interest in the club. A short business meeting was held by the executive board be- fore the -program. The question of federation was discussed, but not act- ed on at this time. It was voted to al- low town guests to attend meetings at a fee of 25 cents only until Jan- vary 1st. -After that, the reg\.nlar membership fee * of $1 will be’re- quired.

In the New York district it is expected that home building will be Lactive all winter becausg of the law that exempts from taxation for ten years-all homes “on “Which ‘construc- tion has been started before May, 1922. Lumber and building material dealers in that section report a heavy demand as a result of this impefus to building. | Reports from the South indicate great building activity generally and the ‘local demand is. consuming a larger proportion of the output of lumber in that territory than for many years. This is largely true of conditions on the West coast also and is proving a tower of strength to the lumber market. The hardwood industry is making a remarkable recovery and just now there is a better demand for hard- woods than for the soft woods, Be- cause of long continued curtailment of production, stocks are broken and badly assorted and buyers experience difficulty in filling their requirements, The lower grades are becoming more active, prices are strong and ad- vances have not been“infrequent. Railroad and industrial buying are steadily increasing, this taking up any slack in the demand for building sizes and making the market firm! Soft wood prices are more stable than they have been recently, with the tendency toward greater strength.

In government circles there is a deep current of speculation, although little expressed, of the possibilities to follow the regency or the accession to the throne of the present crown princé. There is wonderment, and among the conservative powers some appre- hension regarding the effect upon Japan’s policies ‘at the most crucial point of her history of the crown prince’s recent visit abroad and per: sonal contact with European civiliza- tion. y Both conservatives and liberals realize that Japan’s most vital prob- lems, foreign and domestic, are com- ing to a crux concurrently with the gravest physical condition of the em- peror. They are wondering, fearing, hoping, as the case may be, of the im- port to Japan at such a period of a new emperor, or a regent, who knows at first hand what none of his 122 Im- perial ancestors ever knew—the ways of the world across the seas. Besides the Washington conference, with its tremendous possibilities to Japan, these grave domestic problems are becoming increasingly acute: 1. The labor question, with s increasing and the laboring classes demonstrating almost daily a growing spirit of self expression and mass con- sciousness. 2, The increasing living-cost bur- den of the people, accentuated by a steadily soaring price of rice, and the fear .of general “rice riots” this win- ter—a form of popular protest that heretofore has been serious when the staple food mounted beyond the reach of the masses. a variety of social and economic ad- justments, of uncertain result, a part of the throes of Japan wife trans- formation into an industrial nation. Anpther problem, less acute and immediate, but smouldering, is the feeling against high taxes for naval and military purpoges and, the big percentage-—almost half-—of the na- tional reyenues used therefor. Nororfe kKnows-what is happening behind the moated, triple-walled en- res of the great Imperial palace, the ill emperor, Yoshihito, re- mains in complete seclusion. Prince Yamagata probably knows more than any one man. But what he doesn’t know is whether Yamagata, strong- est of the conservatives, will continue his great influence or whether a lib- eral or progressive froce will super- sede him. Yamagata, very old but very virile, is one of the survivors of the first “Genro,” or “elder statesmen,” the group that designed and directed the destinies of the new Japan born half a century ago. He gave Japan uni- versal military service and made its modern army. He has been the lead- er of the militarists, the staunchest of the conservatives, one of the most vital forces in the government. Many have called him the real ruler of Jap- an. anservativea and Liberals These must be supplemented with : ALASKA FOREST RANGERS TRAVEL BY MOTOR BOAT A forest ranger who rides a motor- boat instead of a horse would be a novelty in the western states, but is the rule in the Tong: National Forest, Alaska. In a report to the United States Department of Agri- culture, of conditions there, E..A. Sherman, associated forester, writes as follows: “The Tongsgs National Forest is completely equipped with an admir- able system of waterways. Here, in- stead of saddle and pack horse, the ranger rides a He guides his steed by means of a wh instead of reins; feed: £aso- line instead of oats; tethers it at night with an anchor in some sheltered cove instend of with a picket rope in a mountain meadow, and uses the paint brush in licu of a curry comb.”’ Rangers in that national forest travel in couples, two men to each motorboat. The boat is a staunch, geaworthy craft, 35 to 40 feet long, cquipped with 25 horse power en- gines, and with fully inclosed cabin and pilot house. Exeept when they are at hadquarters or actually at work in the woods, the rangers eat, sleep, and live on their boats. “Summey is the bu: season,” Mr. Sherman reports. “Their duly is not an 8-hour day, but usually a 16- or 20- hour day, with only one man actually on duty while the boat is running. The ranger is j as proud of his boat as the Bedouin horseman is of his steed, and the ranger boats in Alaska are the most distinctive craft sailing the waters of the Alex- ander archipelago.” THREE PERSONS KILI:ED IN CYCLONE AT POPLAR BLUFFS (By United Press) Poplar Bluffs, Mo., Nov. 19.—Three struck the farm home of George Chaffin, five miles east of here.

She had a statement ready elab- orating her ten principles. Japan was expected to announce China’s position also. China secks a new deal all around, a chance to run her own affairs in her own way, but giving regard, to the interests of the outside world. Before the committee met at 11 o'clock, it was state that the success of the day's ion—perhaps the success of the Far Eastern confer- ence—would hinge on the acceptance or rejection of point four of the ten principles already presented by China. This calls for a showdown of all seeret treaties regarding -China and the outside world. Under the Chinese proposal all suggested undertakings, now revealed, would be void. Under this clause, if accepted, it is expected the world will see a remarkable pic- ture of internationsl bargaining and ret diplomacy wih its object the ploitation of China. The Chinese believe there are se- cret “commitments on the part of Japan, Great. Britain. and France, which should be brought to light. The Chinese said they would insist on immediate fulfillment of all their treaties, but desived to bring all mat- ters before the conference.
