Disarmament plans stir Japanese leaders in Washington
Tokio July 17 United News dispatch says former Japanese delegate Vincount Mekino may represent Japan at the disarmament conference called by President Harding. Premier Hara has declined to go in person due to language issues. Navy leaders favor Admiral Yamamoto or Minister Kato as Japan’s representative. Key figures include Shidehara and Prince Yamagata as possibilities. England, France, America, Italy, and Japan are urged to discuss arms limits, with China’s inclusion controversial. Analysts note Japan’s rights in Asia and warn against isolation if Japan refuses to participate. Premier Hara insists disarmament would benefit Japan and the world, though the process is difficult. The navy stresses Japan cannot endure unrestricted naval competition.

Savannah Tybee Electric Car Line Revival Report
Savannah Georgia July 17 Special. The revived electric car line to Tybee was first proposed many years ago. Federal court permission to the Savannah Electric Company receiver to extend to the Tri State fair grounds spurred ideas of an eighteen mile Tybee line. Two large bridges and several miles of road are complete. The project is part of a two and a half million bond issue to finish the Chatham road system. The Tybee road may be ready for travel by fall 1922. No current plan for an electric line along that road is in the report.
