record is an enviable one,” he said
“The old prejudice against the
employment of women in pharmacies

WASHINGTON, D. C-, Dec 20—
It is understood that Secre'ary of
State Hughes, who is also cha'.r
ma" of the Arms conference, ha'
received a cable from .-embassador
Harvey, notifying him of France’s
acceptance of the American naval
proposals. The cable says that some
discussion may be necessary to bring
the views of Italy into accord but j
there will be no long negotiations
-: on that point, according to the be-1
; | lief of the ambassador. The Ameri-!
- can proposal will give France a
i.naval ration of 1.70 and Italy’s!
-1 ratio will be 1.68.
Definite announcement was made
;■ late this afternoon that France had j
■ accepted the proposal that she be;
i;accorded a capital tonnage of 175,-;
i 000, under the naval limitation
I agreement. The acceptance of the
!.
French government was made known
i j in a forma! communication from
• Premier Briand. While agreeing to i
i
j that part of the proposal relating >
i to capital ships, however, France i
i intimates that it will be impossibe i
to accept defensive ship “reductions;
corresponding to those wrhich we ac-j
cept for capital ships” without con
tradicting the vote of the French
parliament.
In a communication addressed toi
the French delegation yesterday, the
premier advised them to go as far
toward accepting the American limi
tation plan as can be done without I
sacrificing the essential interests of
the- French government, as de
scribed in French circulars. The in
structions did not direct definite ac
ceptance of the American ratio but
indicated that France was in a mood
to go into the matter more fully.
The counter proposals for defens
ive craft, submitted by France, were
presented to the naval committee
of the conference by M. Sarraute.
It is understood the plan proposes
a fleet proportion in several classes
of craft so as to give France a
navy that could be devoted largely
for defensive purposes. The delega
tion indicated that the willingness
of France to make concessions in
capital ship tonnage entitled the
counter proposal to deep considera
tion.
England It Pleated
LOXDOX, Dec. 20—“France has
accepted the Hughes naval ratio for
capital ships and we are glad of the
relief it will afford us”, Brian d told
a representative of the Daily Mail
today.

GIRLS REFUTE STATEMENT
THAT THEY DEMAND RiCHES
—
BALTIMOR, Md„ Dec. 20 Goo-j
cher College seniors have just con
troverted to their own satisfaction
the charge made by speakers 't the
recent eugenist convention in New
York that the American college i
girl is a slacker- -that she is un
willing to marry unless she can h; ve
many comforts and luxuries.
•
A referendum .'ote taken among
the 105 seniors showed that they
were of the opinion that a couple
could marry safely and live in a
city on income of $48 weekly.
One girl thought she could live
in comfort at about $155 a week,
while another, who evidently had
given the subject careful ctns uera
tion by making out a budget, said
she was willing to take a chance at
$850 or $1,000 a year if she had i
a child.
Only six girls figured they would
need $4,000 a year or over. Twenty
four made estimates of $2,000.
Four thought they -night be able to
struggle along on $1,500.
One senior estimated it would
cost $3,000 a year in Washington
or New York but only $‘-.600 in the
Middle Western cities. Another thot
$2,500 would be needed if she were
the wife of an army or navy officer.
Almost every one emphasized the
point that the success of the venture
would depend largely or. • • nomies
and good team work by husband and
wife.

The report recalls that since 1900

stranded or wrecked on the Pacific,
