Great Britain, as previously outlined. wants the replacement program spread over a period of years rather than taken up at ‘he end of a ten year holiday, and she wants further reduction and definite limitations on submarines. After a session of little more than an hour, the coaference after hearing ad- dresses of general acceptance by Arthur | J. Balfour, for the British; Baron Ad- miral Kato, for Japan; Senator Schan- zer, for Italy; and Premier Briand for France, adjourned te meet again on the call of Secretary Hughes, and the new- ly appointed committee on naval arma- ment went into secret session.

P.) —Japan feels that her ratlo of warship tonnage is not high enough under the American proposals, it was said tonight v members of the Japanese delegation. During Admiral Baron Kato's apeech at the plenary session of the armament conference today, his statement that Ja- Pan would suggest some modifications in the tonnage basis for replacement car ed some speculation us to whether it re- ferred to regulating the capacity of ship vards so that new warships could be built regularly or whetier it meant that Japan favored a higher ratio of tonnage compared with the Unityl States and Great Dritain. Tonight's statement clears up this point and shows that Japan will later put forth the factors which lead her to that some Increase of tonnoge should be afforded her. How much in- crease is desired was not explained, to- night, but emphasis was lald upon the special conditions surrounding Japan as an insular power in need of an ade- qiate defensive fleet. Practical considerations are said to| be behind the attltude of Japan whose representatives refterated tonight that she has no ambition Whatsoever to squal the navy of England or the United States. BRITISH VIEWS ON THE ALLOTMENT OF SUBMARINES Washington, Nov. 15 (By the A. P.)— While Arthur Balfour, head of the Brit- ish delegation, dld not go into details at today's plenary session of the armament conference as to modifications in the American man desired by the British, It ‘val experts that as to submarines they believed that not more than 45.000 tons each In the aggregate in these craft #hould be allowed for Great Britain and tha United States and a proportionate re- duction of the allowances of the Ameri- can program should be applied to Japan, The British naval experts thought, it was sald, that the 90,000 tons allowance | of the American plan was too Jarge.

Nov. 15.—Deliver- ing up to a trustes his battle scarred golf culbs and fishing through his all his other assets—$65.50 in cash, an old watch, a pocket knife and two razors— Frank B. Porter, once a wealthy New York broker, won freedom from his exile in Suffold county today. County Judge Furman signed an order discharging him from the Jjail limits, where he had been held on complaint of an frate creditor, and Mr. Porter start- ed, happy though broke, for the New York he had not seen for three months. Before he left, however, he saw the loved golf kit knocked down at auction for §7; his watch for $3; his razorg for $2 and a knife for a quarter —making a total of $77.75 to satisfy a Judgment. for §10,389.75. Mr. Porter was a member of a broker- age house composed of himself, Lewis Gouverneur Morris, a lineal descendant of a signer of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, and James H. Pope.
