Stop All \^ork on Four
Ships of the Hood Class
London. Nov. is.-?111> The Assoc!
Med- Tress) The Admiralty an
nounced today that it had ordered 'he
cessation of all w-ork on 'he four war
ships of super-Hood type. The ship
building ftrrn were notified yestet
rlay not to incur any further liaMlt
ties on new naval construction lui'i!
further notices from the admiralty.
These contracts were awarded only
two weeks hro.
Officials explained that the practi
cal effect of the admiralty's order
would be the absolute cessation of all
warship work pending (he outcome of
the Washington conference.
Threw of the -?h!ps were to have hewn
built on the Clyde and the fourth at
Newcastle-on-Tyne.
The admiralty order halts *on all the
new warships authorised by parliament. ;
Actual construction had n<r yet begun. j
although It Is understood virtually all '
the preliminary work has been com- i
pleted.
The four ships were to cost ahout >
S-.0On.000 pounds sterling In all and |
the bulk of, this sum will be saved by 1
the government, as a comparatively j
small sum Is due the constructors for I
the work already accomplished.
The admiralty order caused consterna
tion along the t'ivde where is much un
employment which was expected to be j
illevlated by the work on war ships.
Suspend contracts.
Glasgow, Nov. IS.?It is officially
stated that the contracts awarded the
' Clyde shipyards for the construction
r of three warships of the super-Hood
i type have been suspended.
The steel works are affected by the J
* suspension.
The plans of the British admiralty
for capital ship construction appear
to have been modified from time to
time in the three years since the war'
as the lessons of that conflict were]
worked out and the status of the
billlding program is not quite clear on j
the records.
There were originally four .*iips of
the Hood type only one of which, the
Hood herself, was completed. Begun |
in 1916. she was launched late in 1915
and completed in 192b. The other'
three ships, all of a highly powerful
battle cruiser type were re-designed j
to meet the lessons of the battle of'
Jutland, work on 'hora having been,
?stopped in Mutch. 1917. .
It appeared from London dispatches i
in August last, fitting with admiralty j
construction plans, that four new hat-j
tie cruNers were to be turned out as
improvements over the Hood type, to j
fake the place of obsolete vessels.
Their completion bv 1925 was expect
ed These ships were to have been
probably the most heavily armed Jn
?he world. ea-ryinK fen to twelve 16
inch guns each in their main batteries.
The Hood had a main battery of eight
16-im4 guns and her normal displace
ment Is 41.200 tons.
Action of the British Not
Surprising to Washington
Washington. Nov. IS (By The Asso
ciated l'ress) ? Action of t lie British
government, announced fr -m tendon to
day !n orilertrg work stopped or the
four capital sh.ps of rhe I(?>??? I type, the
only capital ship building program on
which the Bri'tsh have been engaged
f in-# the armiHte-e.' came as no surprise
here. Th'-re was n*ui h doubt, even be
fore th-- confer, n* e on limitation of ar
n-aments was called by President Manl
ier. that the British would . ompleto

struction on most American tabulations
has been carried as "doubtful."
In arty case. (leiiDera". as r-c tti? re.-n
nt.ul mminisslon, hearted hy Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt and Including high
est naval officers of the five powers rep
resented In tite conference, appear to
have reached a point where the capital
ship ratio may ho considered settled, so
far as the British and American fleets
ire concerned. The American proposal
that Great Britain retain IK battleships
and four battle cruisers and the t "tilted
States 18 battleships seems f" have ac
cepted by tho experts w lib h implies
final acceptan -e by the conference itself
of that clement of the program. The
British admiralty order stopping work
on the four new ships is only an added
straw to show which way the wind is
blowing:.
It Is not dear, however, that the ex
perts have as yet rea<hed a conclusion
as to Japan's fleet strength. Formal an
nouncement yesterday by Admiral Baron
Kato. heading :tie Japanese group, that
Japan desired more than the KO p? - > ent

Big Japanese Naval Cut
Means Korean Expansion
Washington. N'ov. IS. ? ( By The As
sociated Press)?bis naval reduc-'
ti.?a by Japan will mean much to the
prosperity of Korea. Isoh Yamagata,
proprietor of the Japanese semloffl-j
cial press said today in'disoussing the!
suggested armament curtailment.
"It wowuld mean, first of all." ho'
said, the possibility of reclaiming of
vast arable lands in Korea, capable of
supporting 73.ooo.pi> more people. In
this land we will grow rice, so neces-!
sarv to feed the people of Japan. for"
Korea already raises more rice than
she needs herself. It means refores j
f rat ion of the Korean mountains. It
will 5"ing to us a university so nutehj
needed by Koreans and more schools i
of i very kind, especially an institu j
tion of music and art. It will give
us more roads and better roads.
Mrt Yamagata foresaw also great
industrial progress for Korea, which.)
like Japan, would, in his opinion de-1
velop gradually into a manufacturing j
country. ? |
Huron Satio. the governor of Keren,
he said, hail just left Seopl for Tokio.
in connection with the Framing of tho
new budget. He believed the gover
nor could be depended upon to urge a
fair Korean share of the funds to be
saved if the navy reduction becomes
an accomplished fact.
He added that, he had received in
formation indicating the presence of
a nuthber of Koreans in Washington,
who, he thought, hoped to bring be
fore the conference the question of
the independence of Korea.
He expressed the opinion that the
conference should not take up Japan |
relations with Korea as he believed
such a step would needlessly arouse
the hostility of the Japanese people.

will warrant, and in genera! aid the
Chinese people to assume a place of
economic Influence in the world. It was
fully expected that Italy, whose Inter

sathe position.
The Japanese hiving already declared
her willingness to accept' the Chinese
declaration of principles "as a basis of
discussion" were- ;it work framing a
more detailed statement of their posi

There were indications that the extra
