tion before the Powers at the first aev-

sion of the naval committee. The absolute rejection of the Japan- j ose uronosal Lv the American authnri- ! tie Is assured. .American experts feel that Japan has been treated lib erally in the 5-5-3 ratio. They point out that the three to live program wan decided upon only after many experts 1 had insisted that Japan's allowance of i caiiitat ships be placed at iifty per cent, instead of sixty. The (.pinion also is held by Bnr.nl American officials that Japan secretlv is rather pleased by the datio of three to live unci that she is making a fljiM on it with jLhe idea that by seeming to ield reluctantly, she may be able to t;et concessions further on In the con ference, perhaps in the matter of auxilliary ships. It can be stated authoritatively that British experts are one with the Americans in the capital ship ratio. While American officials reprecitae any suKcestion of a split In the conference, it can lie stated authoritatively at the American delegation is willinK to see the conference stand or fall on the issue of Japan's acceptance, Until the capital ship isue is settled the experts are not concerning themselves with the objections raised by both Japan and England with regard to auxiliary ships, such as submarines, light cruisers and airplane carriers. The big- ships from the hub of the whole Hughes' program and until an agreement is reached on these the experts are giving little thought to the other craft. One thing at a time is their motto. It Is not likely that the show-down will como until late In the week.

sreat quantity of technical and other

data, which will tlrst have to be laid before the experts of other Towers fo: examination. This will take conslderable time "and all to no purpose too said one American expert today. It is considered probably today an open session of the conference will be arranged when Japan omciaiiy accepts th program. The belief prevails that the Japanese will ask an open sesjion to announce their adherence to the American proposals and at the same time to give a public explanation of the reasons for their protracted insistence upon a capital ship increase. Unless there is such7 a session arranged, it seemed improbable today that there will be another plenary session soon. Far Eastern affairs .ire still in the committee stape and are likely to remain such for some time. Chinese postottlees and foreign co'iris are not subjects that lend themselves readily to discussions in which the public can jret enthusiastically excited. The Japanese may carry one feature of their substitute program to a point where it may possibly endanger the conference. This concerns the Mulsu, the latest of their great battleship.'-., which has been constructed under thin eight-and-ei ght program. The deieitios here is insistent that Japan be allowed to retain the Mutsu, and in this they have the solid backing of Jananese officialdom and public opinion. Th members of the Japanese delegation assert there would be a great public outcry in Japan against the scrapping of those ships which is a source of great national pride. CHRISTMAS SHOPPING BRINGS A RECORD DAY The opening of Toy-land at the Ed--.vard C. Minas Company store, Saturday, brousrht perhaps the largest attendance of Christmas buyers in the history of the big store, excepting the real crowded days on the Eve of Christmas. An unusually attractire plan of giving free Christmas Cheer Gifts each day from trie beautiful Christmas Trees in Toyland is one of the folg Incentives to the tvjylng public. With very purchase of ten cents or more in any department the customers are given a numbered card which Is compared with the hurnbers on the fifty prire Christmas Gifts given away free each day to the prize winning holders of the lucky number when presented at the third floor, Toyland. This original campaign for early shopping during the holiday period Is a boon to "both shoppers and salespeople. The throngs crowding the aisles of the big State street store would indicate the Christmas Cheer Gift prizes were of lha value and quality to Interest every home. All this week we understand, this plan of giving away valuable Chrlatmaa Cheer Gifts free will be continued so each buyer will do well to acan thes kicky numbers given with each purChase made every day. The store- is offering standard merchandise, quality jrools, -articles for gifts, values that are (bringing unusual result. JtrK always has something back of it, as well as In front, and merit tells. The window displays and interior decorations are lavish and are most interesting to the early Xmas shopper. Tutting off purchases needed for utility, comfort or beauty till another time is about aa Intelligent as putting off a meal or sleep when they are due. The courteous service .given and the enormous number of customers wuj j handled In admirable fasTilon. Need we say shop early, shop now, while the Christmas stocks ar at their best.
