DISARMAMENT COMMITTEE

OF Peace Conference Meets To-day.
False Reports Circulated
THE HAGUE, May 29.-The dsarma--
ment committee of the peace confer
ence meets at 10 o'clock Tuesday. The
committee on laws OF warfare meets
during the afternoon and the committee
will be devoted to the election OF oiIl-
GERS.
The chiefs OF the delegations have had
frequent conferences with the view OF
arriving at an agreement in regard to
the choice of officers. But apparently
many difficulties have arisen as nothing
has been finally settled.
Many false and exaggerated reports
have been circulated regarding these
bitches. For instance, il has been said
that Count Won Munster, the German
ambassador ct Paris, and head OF the
German delegation, would withdraw
from the conference. Such stories
must be received with caution, as per-
sons hostile TO the aims of the confer
ence have been busly engaged In
speaking distrust. The story about
Count Won Munster arose from the fact
that his name does NOT appear rs a
member of any OF the committees while
all the other chiefs OF delegations have
Joined one or more committees. But 1t
Is pointed out delegates. although not
members of'u committee are privileged
to attend It's sessions and participate in
the discussions.
Andrew D. White. the United States
ambassador at Berlin and head of tho
American delegation in an interview
here with n representative of the As
sociated Press said he regarded the sit
uation rs promising and that the first
work OF organization Was well defined,
He added:
II am hopeful that It will be possible
TO reach practical conclusions. Tho
scepticism Of the first few days must
yield 10 serious hopes without at the
same time indulgiag exaggerated ex-
pectatlons."
The words Of Emperor William havo
contributed to Improve the situation, I
think we may arrive Mt some result on
the subject OF mediation and arbitra-
ton, although It is undoubtedly impos-
s!ble to make such action obligatory it
can be rendered NJ least optional and 7

powers will recognize they have at their

Il am also confident that important
