U.S. Takes Big
Risk at Meeting
On Disarmament
If rowers PrriJe to Stop
Naval Building Britain Will
Have Navy Twice Site
Of U. S. Fleet.
WashiiiRton. Sept. 17.-The United
Mates will lake a long naval chants
when it enleri the furthcoming dis
arnument conference, affording to
statistics of naval strctiRih compiled
by naval expert for ue by tt.e
American delegation to the parley.
If the conference should at-rce to
abandon all present tuildinu pro-
. -i... l
cram ami 10 innmiam inc nvic m
the leading nationi ai they now
stand the L mtcd State v. ill loe out,
for on January I the United States
navy was but half the size of Great
Britain's battle licet and but twice
ai large oi Japan' navy. These
comparisons are baed on tonnage
figurea and JWKht be altered by
comoarison of lichtinir efficiency.
If the conference decides to let
the present building program con
tinue, then tne Lnitca mhici win
win.
The present authoruationi of the
navie of the world tPould make the
navy of ttve United 'State equal to
that of ("ireat Britain by 19J4 and al
most double the size of the Japanese
navy. Japan't naval program does
not begin to approacn thai 01 me
United States, and even it projected
but unauthorized program would
not make it navy equal to that of
the United States by V)Z1. .
U. S. Has Not Advantage.
All of these figures, however, are
bated on tonnage, and the naval in
tclligenre service has compiled some
interesting statistics as to the relative
elliciency of the three great navies
oi the world winch uo not give tne
navy of the United States 'the ad
vantaee in fichting efficiency.
At the present time the British
navy has supremacy over the Amer
ican navy in .every styic oi ngniing
craft, while the United States has
supremacy over Japan in battleships
and destroyers. By 1924, when the
American buildmor program is com
pleted, this condition will have been
changed, for the American building
program will have been completed,
but the American navy, though
equal in tonnage strength, will still
be outclassed in some of the modern
fighting vessels.
If the present programs go
through, the year 1924 will still find
the United states greatly outclassed
by Great Britain in light cruisers,
, battle cruisers, submarines and air
craft carriers. At that time Japan
will also outclass the United States
in light cruisers and battle cruisers.
Inasmuch as there is a great dif
ference of opinion among naval ex
perts as to the relative value of the
battleship and the light cruisers and
. AaUlecrusie.rs, it appears from pres
cnt 'statistics that the United States
stands to be outclassed .in major
naval weapons by 1924 unless the
forthcoming conference decides to
put a check upon the present build
ing program. ,
Will Ships Be Junked? :
Japan's naval program is at the
present time largely, projected, and
it would appeas from bare statistics
that the Oriental nation stands to
lose more than any other nation as
the result 'of the disarmament con
ference unless there is an agree
ment to junk some of the vessels
that are already in commission.
, If there is to- be any destruction
of vessels by order pf the confer
ence, then the United States may
again be the loser, for this nation has
fewer vessels which it can. afford to
give up than Great Britain.,
Naval experts are bewildered as
they attempt to forecast the chances
of the American navy at the hands
of the disarmament conference and
admit that it. is going to be a game
of chance all around.-

Cleveland, Sept 17. It isn't all
beer and skittle this thing of being
a judge. In fact, it isn't half or even
one-third, if you should ask Judge
Maurice Bernon, judge of the court
of common plea who presided it the
trial of Mrs. Kathrrine Eva Kaber.

been attempting to rest up for the
duties of the tall term at hit home

dissatisfied with the verdict rendered
and the punishment imposed have
been telling the judge, by left r and
telephone, just what they think of
him for tending such a person to a
"pleasure resort," as the reformatory
ha been called, instead of incarcer
ating her in the Ohio penitentiary.
"Don't Blame Me."
"Don't blame me. Talk to the
Ohio legislature," the judpe tell

who call him over the telephone,
When a representative ot the In

The judge came back to ne porch
and continued:
"It's surprising how people blame

Here the telephone rang once

in the line of divorce trial testimony
was heard and proved a winner at a
trial here. Trier N. Weber, a coal
