May Not Discuss Limitation
By Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, June 15.-It can be
stated on authority that the American
delegates to The Hague conference will
not bring up for discussion the question
of limitation of ornaments. That mat
ter is regarded as a purely European
question at present and the result of a
years work by Prof. De Martens at the
various capitals of Europe, has been
threshed out pretty thoroughly the
whole matter. AT least four of the great
powers are averse to the consideration
of the disarmament question, and the
Washington government regards itself
as relieved from the necessity of bring
ing this matter to the fore. 1t is the
opinion here also that the subject of
limitation of armament will not now be
broached by any of the powers repre-
sented at The Hague conference.
