BRITISH NAVAL PROGRAM AIDED BY JAPANESE Baron Kato Argues Economic Efficiency in Undersea War Craft. JAPAN’S FINANCES WEAK WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—Japan will support Great Britain In ber efforts to bring about a reduction In submarine tonnage under the Hughes naval program. It was learned In an authoritative quarter today. The Japanese delegation also Is prepared to stand behind Hr. Balfour in his contention that the tonnage of individual submersibles should be materially restricted. In return for his support Japan expects Great Britain to assist her in securing a quota of submarines equal to that of the Cnited States and Great Britain in place of the 5-5-3 ratio accorded under the present Hughes plan. Jnpan's determination to bark the British attempt to cut down the submarine tonnage allotted under the Hughes plan is not based upon humanitarian scruples against the use of the undersea craft, but upon very practical considerations and economy and efficiency In naval preparation. Admiral Baron Kato, head of the Japanese delegation, fully appreciates the value of the submarine, both as a weapon of defense and for use upon the commerce of the enemy as Germany employed it during the late war. The Baron believes, however, that even the maximum submarine allowance of 00.000 tons accorded under the Hughes plan to Great Britain and the United Slates, la inadequate for the needs of Japan if the submarine is to figure at all in her naval strategy. Convinced it would be Impossible to obtain a sufficient quota, the Baron has determined it would be the part of wisdom to cut the submarine allowance to a minimum, perhaps in the hope of obtaining compensations in types of vessels more adaptable to the revised naval strategy of Japan. Japan counts on using throughout the negotiations concerning auxiliary vessels the same argument employed by Baron Kato in the discussions with Mr. Hughes and Mr. Balfour on the capital ship ratio, namely, that owing to the weaker financial condition of Japan, sacrifices of completed vessels are felt more keenly by the Japanese than by the United States and that allowances should be made for this difference.

Co-eds Compete With Town Girls by *Date Exchange 9 CHICAGO, Dec. 7.—“ Fix me up with n blonde, blue eyed, and aristocratically haughty.” So say youths of the University of Chicago now that co-eds have established a “date exchange.” The idea wss started by two co-eds, Jean Grant and Inez I.eTenson, who passed out an exchange list of one hundred names. Several Immediate replies were received from the more bashful of the males. One wanted a girl “dumb enough, but not too dumb.” “Bobbed hair, affected types are the most sought,” Miss Grant said. “All must have a good line and good looks.” The agency was opened, leaders defc’are. In order to promote better companions between Chicago students. Too often co-eds protest men go out with “town girls” instead of co-eds.

President Decides Germany*s Approval Won’t Be Necessary WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—President Harding has decided there Is no need of Inviting Germany to the armament conference, high Administration officials said today. His intention recently announced was to call Germany in toward the close of the conference to put her on' record as approving certain measures adopted. It was the apparent Intention of having Germany’s written acceptance of provisions regarding land disarmament and of securing her cooperation in certain financial arrangements. But indications are growing that the armament conference will deal with neither of these questions —at least in any final way—and, therefore, the need of having German representatives on hand is felt to have disappeared. LOVE'S LABOR AND SOME CASH LOST Mall Order Husband Not Up to Specifications. Special to The Ttmes. TIPTON, Ind., Dec. 7.—Love’s dream had a sad awakening when Mrs. Ben Overturf discovered her mail order husband was not all he represented himself to be. Ben was thrown in Jail here too drunk for examination of Ms wife's charges and Mrs. Overturf prepared to return to her Minnesota home. It was Just two weeks ago that Miss Louise Reibe, 40, came into town and married the man she never saw before. Their marriage was the culmination of correspondence In which Overturf told her he had a good home, good business, good automobile and was able to give her a life of comfort. Mrs. Overturf told authorities she had given her husband $350 which *ae had saved from her earnings. The break came when he brought home a pint of liquor and lay down in a drunken stupor after telling ber to “go fetch my still from the automobile."
