(Bv Assoclatl Pres?) WASHINGTON. Ic. 2. Despite rxtraordinary progress in the past 23 yrar?, the Filipino people have a long
road to travel before they will be-
rady to take over their own govern raent according to the report made by , Major General Leonard Wood, gover- j nor general of the inlands, and W. ! Cameron Fcrbe., former governor j peneral. I The complete report was issued today by the war department as a supplement to tho recent publication of i
specific recommendations made by the two Investigators. N'epd of further national improvement Is pointed out by the report which declares, however, that the administrative mistakes of the Filipinos have rot been sufficient to counterbalance the. Fteadily rising progress barometer.
"Generally p peaking." the report j pays, "administrative departments of! the government are top-heavy in per-i Fonnel and enmeshed in rd tape. I There is a vast amount of paper work.'

To What Extent Discussions May Become Intertwined Becomes Topic of Increasing Speculation. MAY TRYTOBIND TWO
Bv Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 To wha!
extent the discussions over the navel
ratio and the political nroblems ;f
the Far Kast may become intertwined
became a subject of increasing speculation today as the two negotiations developed simultaneously toward 11
point of important, decisions. The whole physical procedure o,' the conference thus far has contribu: cd to absolute separation of the twn questions, and on the surface ther-j has been no indication of a change.
On the other hand various elo-
! ments of tr?e situation have led to a i
impression in some quarters that in the final stages of the negotiation". (there may be an effort at least in 'bind the two together.
It was suggested today in British
circles that the Anglo-Japanese ai liance could come into naval discu sion if it had not already done so,
despite the apparent intentions t the British delegation to press for a
I naval agreement not dependent upon
the outcome of the Far Eastern questions.

PARIS, Dec. 2. The Havre police were instructed by the secret service of the French Ministry of Interior to arrest Charles W. Morse, American shipbuilder and financier, as soon as he landed from the liner Paris. The instructions were sent by tele-phone. The French police acted upon request of the American embassy, which received belated cable instructions to obtain the arrest and detention cf Morse. It was impossible for an American warship to intercept ihe Paris a.-; there are no American naval vessels in French or British ports, all on this side of the -Atlantic being in the Mediterranean.
