Washington. Nov. 17.? (Hv the Asso

tiations await the reply of Japnn to :
China's declaration of rights, and the
American move for limitation of naval
armament is slowing tip because of ob
jections raised both by Japan and Ureat |
Britain.
Mlscus.slon.s of the Far Eastern prob-'
lems. which for the moment ire In the
foreground of the arms conference, were
advanced by the big nine to-day to the 1
pr'nt of an agreement that a general]
exchange of views on China's program '
shontd precede any consideration of:
specific points. Such a general presen- j
tatlon of views Japan was unprepared
to make, and the big nine adjourned j
until Saturday.
Meantime Japan made known for

The Mr nine's session on Far Kastern '

to a discussion of the methods of pro

All pro*-ceded serenely until Admiral

No American reporters having been
Invited, and Inasmuch as Admiral Kato
spoke in Japanese, anyhow, the version
of what he said is necessarily a second

HOW PRESIDENT !
-HARDING WROTE
FJltFUL WOftOS
CONCEIVED PLAN FOR
ARMAMENT CONFERENCE
While on the Yacht May
flower, Tied Up for Night
on Banks of Potomac.
Washington, N'ov. 17.?(By The Amo
elated Press)- Who formulated and ex
ecuted the cell for the armament con
ference? Who solved the American pro
;iosit Is for naval limitation?
The country has been asking1 these
questions for the last week, and haa
heen hearing a variety of answers. Tha
host "inside story" in Washington today
has all the earmarks of being the oor
root answer.
President Harding, on one of hta week
end cruises down the Potomac, early
this autumn, so the story runs, locked
himself In his stateroom one evening
and left word that he did not wish to
he disturbed, because he was writing.
A little later, the president called te
his room one by one. some of the close
friends In public life who had accom
panied him. and laid before them soma
sheets of pa per on which he had written
with lead pencil, and with frequent core
rectlons and interlineations, something ?
which they all read with, amuement
and greatest interest.
By Wireless to Xnghea.
It was the Invitation to the nations
to the arms conference. After some
conference among tlie party, it was de
cided to forward the text to Secretary
Hughes, and the yacht .Mayflower, tied
up for the night i:i the still waters of a
secluded cove in the reaches of the
river, buzzed off from her wireless tliat
night to the^state department, the words
which later were to ring around the
world.
Of course the preliminary dlplomatla
feeler was transmitted to the nations
concerned, but it Is said that the text
of the final and formal invitation as It
later went out. was substantially tha
same as President Harding had con* j'
t? that fitcht while resting on
the yacht Mayflower down the river.
The evolution <>f the concrete Ameri
can proposals for natal limitation?
Secretary Hughes' bombshell ? also
heard nrouml the world at tlio first ses
sion, is still iinother story.
The Great Secret.
Some admirers have ascribed them
to Secretary Hughes alone, while an me
other persons have declared they were
the composite effort of the four Amrrl-_
cr.n delegates. of whom Mr. Hughes Is '
. no. Kvotylody .?<? }>.us agreed that thev
were not drafted by naval officials, and
almost everybody has left out President
Harding until today's "inside story" be
gan to circulate.
The great secret, to which Arthur J.
Ilalfotir referred so artistically In his
address of Tuesday, must indeed have
been well kept beyau.se. between seven
and ten men knew It. That number In
cludes the four Amerlean delegates and
President Harding. The others wmrked
??n various phases of the proposal. It
is known, of course, that It was based
on memoranda called for from the navy
department .and It was carried Into ex
ecution by the American Hlg Four,
which Secretary Hughes heads, but the
"hlg idea" on which the plan Is built,
the "inside story" says came from
Prcshhnt Harding.

Britain Suggests
All Powers Sign
China Agreement
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
(Copyright by The Intelligencer.)
>
' Washington. Nov. 17. ? ilreat Brlti'ln
expects to answer tho Atnerl.an deter
for an abrogation of the Anglo-Japanes*
alliance with a concrete proposal t!>:?*
n now treaty or agreement substituted
which shall ho signed n"t only hy 1'n.t
tand and Japan hut hv a'.! the nation-.
interested In guaranteeing the "open
door" In China.
Whether such a convention should
contain an absolute guarantee of the
territorial Integrity And n-lmtr istratlv ?
Indcpcndeneo of China or whether the
same object would h? achieve.! by
pledges to respect China's political In
dependence Is still a matter of debate.
But the big fact Is that enough confi
dence as to the probable solution of the
question prevails as to lead the Ameri
can delegation to show a willingness
to sign the agreement oti a reduction of
naval armament w ithout waiting f >r
the adjustment of Far Eastern ques
tions.
flrltlsh policy; on the Anglo.Japanese
alliance Is revealed by Arthur James
rtnlfotir who makes plain that the Angto
Japanese alliance would Iw supcrflu .'it
If all the powers entered Into an agree
ment with respect to the Far Fast cov
ering substantially the same points as
weie In the alliance. Mr Ttalfour real
Izes that the worl "alliance'" Is ob.'ec
tlonrl to American opinion and. there
fore. the ta.k n.-w- Is of an "agreement."
Whether the conclusions reached shoul 1
be embodied l.n a treaty to be submitted
to fh* Amer'ean senate or whether an
exchange of notes at this conference
would be sufficiency binding Is pur./ling
the British who have seen the 1'tilted
Ftntes make executive agreements only
to have them repudiated by the senate.
Would Be Ratified.
The Influence nt the moment, how
ever. of President Harding and Secre
tary Hughes with the American senate
Is such that an agreement made at this
conference stands a very good chance
of heing ratified by the senate, particu
larly as Senator Fnderwood. leader oft
the Democrats, could marshal enough
votes to assist In getting the necessary
two-thirds for ratification.
Incidentally, the >*binese proposals
have in the main produced a favorable
impression. It Is realized that many
points will have to be discussed but the
truth is the Fhlnese were expected to ;
ask. for a great deal more. Tnelr pro- 1
posaiit are couched tn language which I
many British and American officials |
think Is an augury of a successful out- '
come of the Far Kastern part of the !
conferen.-e. j
As for land armaments, there Is a
movement afoot to transfer the entire
question to the teague of nations. This
originates out of a chance remark of a
member of 'he British delegation who.
1r discussing the question of land aruva
incuts >>? nted .>u' significantly that iho
!.-:<c\e ->t nations already has a com
mission at work on land armaments.

The Super-Dreadnaught West Virginia j
1 ?> i
The United States battleship West Virginia will be launched November
19 at the plant of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company.
The sponsor will be Miss Alice Mann, daughter of the lion. Isaac T Mantl.
of Hramwell. W. Va.
The battleship West Virginia, together with her sister ships, the Colo
rado. Washington and Maryland, were auth rlzed by the naval appropriation
act of August 29. 1916.
The chief characteristics of the West Virginia are: Length over all.
624 feet; maximum beam. 97 feet. 5>\ Inches; main draft. 3U feet. 6 inches;
displacement. 32.6<)0 tons; speed, 21 knots, battery, eight ltl-inch tuns,
fourteen 5-lnch guns, four 3 Inch anti aircraft guns .and two submerged tor
pedo tubes; enlisted complement of 1.44S. This vessel has the large mils
ing radius which dlstincuishs all recent United States battleships. The
armor protection and underwater protection against torpedo attack are very
complete, and features which experience In the World War lias shown to
be of importance have been Incorporated.
The boilers are lifted for burning fuel oil exclusively. The main pro- i
. p'llir.r machinery. whb'h Is electric, as in the case of all the capital ships
? now ?:n<!< r construction for the 1*. S. Navy, consists of two main generators,
I driving four propelling motors. Thf tnnin generators are of the turbine
? tj pe. designed to develop a total of about 29/00 indicated horsepower. The
West Virginia, together with its sisttr ships, will be equipped with a high
power radio installation.
The- tlrst West Virginia was authorized by Act of Congress of March 3,
lMO. She was an armored cruiser; length, .r>i>2 feet; beam, fill feet; draft,;
24 feet-, displacement, lfl.ttiiO tons, carrying forty guns Thrill at the plant
<>f th" Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, at Newport
News, Va . iter keel was laid September lfi. lft'M, and she w.j launched
April 1S. lfif'.l. On November 9. llDfi. her name was changed from West
Virg'nia to Huntincft n. for n eitv of that state. The ship was attached to
? he navy cruiser ai d transport force during the World \Yar. She is now
at Portsmouth, N. II., out of commission.
