France is determined that she will
stand firm in her declaration that
she must have her way iu the sub

cism that is being heaped on the
French government by the peoples
of the other nations. Apparently
they do not see an; solution of this
question nor of the aircraft ques

DAMAGES MOKE SERIOUS
THAN FIRST THOUGHT
Haines. Dec. 2S.—After making a
survey of the Estelieth which ran
ashore in Chilcoot Inlet last Tues
day night or early Wednesday morn
ing. in the heavy gale and snow
storm, it is apparent that the dam
age is confined to the rudder and
propeller. Capt. Pat Davis has de
cided to put the hc-flt on the beach
tonight to ascertain if repairs can
lie made here, if this can be done
she will proceed to Juneau under
her own power as soon as possible.
Much credit is givtn to the Harbor
Itoat Peterson and its officers and
crew and the officers of Fort Sew
ard and other residents for their
prompt and willing assistance.
Haines, Dec. 29.—Th6 Estebeth
was beached here last night at high
tide, and a careful examination
showed that the damages are more
extensive than at first thought to
be.
The propeller, rixdder and rudder
shoe are in bad shape. Temporary
repairs might bo made here, but
with the delay she could not reach
Juneau before Saturday night, and
she would then have to again be put
on the beach in order to change the
wheel and make other repairs, which
would require the time that would
elapse between three or four tides.
Capt. Davis has wired Juneau for
a tug to come at once, and that ar
rangements be made for a boat to
take care of the passengers and de
livery of mail and to make the next
schedule sailing to Sitka.
Capt. Pat Davis is In charge of
the boat, Capt. Jim Davis not hav
ing come up on this trip.

OX SUBMARIXE QUESTION"
Washington, Dec. 29.—The phan
tom of future war between France
and England was conjured up by
Lord Balfour, and It bung over the
disarmament conference today as
they proceeded to rescue what they
might from the wreck of the sub
marine and auxiliary craft program.
Lord Balfour, in a surprisingly di
rect manner, let the conference
know that there might be a con
flict between the two powers and
that Great Britain would prepare
against France's submarine program
and that the English nation believ
ed "it could take care of itself."
Washington, Dec. 29.—All hope
for agreement to limit submarine
tonnage has been abandoned today
at a meeting of the naval commit
tee of the arms conference when, the

that they will not deviate from this
one particle. The American com
i promise was turned down flatly and
I finally by that government.

j that linked the name of Trance with
j Prussian mitit3rism, the newspapers
