WASHINGTON, D.” ©, WM 'NAVAL CONFERENCE ADJOURNS "= WITHOUT REACHING ACCORD (Continued _from First Page.) at Geneva with statements from each of the three zovernments as to their respective proposals, The varfous programs in brief were s follows: The United States—Extension of ratio to all ships, with tonnage limits for cruisers, ers and submarines, t Britain—Further limitation of ships, reduction in size and arm- ament of both capital ships and cruisers and extension of the 553 to 10,000-ton cruisers, but no n of application to auxillary | A naval holiday on the basis us quo and a ban on battle- ze of future s to somel . immedia the 000 tc 000 tor t v question of the Washington agree- ment by which battleships sizes had been fixed.

The American delegation sought to fix a total ton- age for the eruiser class, going from 000 tons to 400,000 tons, but Great Pritain held that this, in view of the United States’ cruisers would give Britain too small @ tonnage for her needs in protecting her trade routes. The British idea was to limit strictly large cruisers of the 10,000-ton class, which they character- ized as “offensive” type vessels, and concentrate on small cruisers, Which they described as essentially “defen. sive” vessels. At the same time they sought to limit the armament of the latter to 6-inch guns. The number of cruisers which Great | R Britain declared necessary for her program was about 70, a figure that brought the total cruiser tonnage fig ures higher than the American delega tion was willing to consider, contend. ing that it represented expansion rathier than limitation in naval arma- ments, = The American delegation held out for greater freedom in building 10.000- ton cruisers, a type regarded as best designed for American needs, but the British contended that for Great Brit- ain to build many 10,000-ton cruisers in order to rate in parity with the Tnited States in these vessels would cut down her smaller cruisers too greatly for safety if a low total ton- nage were fixed. § Results in Deadlock.

Signs will be posted at the ends and in the center of all streets throughout the area scheduled for spraying the following day, so that motorists who wish may park their machines elsewhere. There will be no rigid rule or regulation prohibit- ing parking in these areas, but the signs 1 serve merely as a warning to the motorisst that he is likely to have his machine sprayed along with he trees. The sp ying machines usually start to work at 5 a.m., but are forced to postpone their activities in the event of rain or adverse winds. Be- cause of the early start of the tree sprayers it was decided to post the signs a day in advance. Erection of the signs, the associa- tion and District officials hope, will eliminate the complaints from mo- torists that the arsenate of lead solution used to spray the trees has been blown on their machines. solution, Mr. Lanham insists, is not harmful to the paint or surfacs of the car.
