This does not mean that Secretary Hughes is prepared to accede to the contentions of Great Britain that his submarine program should be radi cally modified, but merely that he recognizes the relative importance of capital ships and submarines, and believes unconditional acceptance of the capital-ship ratio should come first, Anglo-Jap Attitude Though Great Britain accepted the 5-5-3 program for capital ships with out reservation in the second session of the conference, there were eviden ces Monday that Japan has not yet abandoned hope of bringing about a modification of that ratio, and there were unmistakable indications that Great Britain is prepared to bring a great pressure to hear upon the dele oates to achieve acceptance of her views regarding submersibles. Tt was reiterated, however, that the United States \is ready to allow the conference to fail, rather than per mit anv infraction of the essential principles of the Hughes capital pro sram, “Tt was fundamental that some ba sic. principle should be decided upon for determining the relative strencth of the great navies of the world."” said an American spokesman, “The United States submitted that existing naval strength was the most logical and most equitable vardstick for determining the relative degree of limitation for each of the three oreat powers.

It is one of those brilliant, old-iashioned Southern func tions, where the aristocracy of hirth and breeding were as apparent as at the Ball at Brussels. Mr. Griifith's staging of this gathering of “heauty and chivalry” is artistically perfect, The shadow shapes on the screen sway to the stately music of the audible or chestra, and the audience has no dif ficulty in imagining itself present at the ball though some what in the character of “wall flowers™ since par ticipation in the festivities is impossi ble. As in the case of Brussell's Ball, a deep sound strikes like a rising knell " ‘Tears spring to the soft eyes of these that looked “love to eyes that spake again” for they cannot mistake the distant roar of the cannon.
