TO AMEND RULES OF WAR?
Use of Submarines And Airplanes
May be Limited.

Washington, Dec. 2o.-Army and
navy officials here believe that the
uses to which two weapons which
figured SO largely in the world con-
flict-submarines and aircraft-nay
be put in future wars will be sharply
limited by international agreement
evolved at the peace conference.
These questions have been under
discussion in military circles since
the end of hostilties, but there is no
definite information as to what sug-
gcstions the American peace CONF
missioners will present to the con-
ference. There appears to be sub
stantial agreement among officers,
however, that future operations of
submarines be confined strictly
against warships.
As to aircraft, officers say that in
seeking to make certain that civil
populations are never again subject
ed to such outrages as committed by
German airmen,' it may we'll be that
the flying army hereafter will be re-
stricted exclusively to observation
work and to such attacks upon
troops as machine gum or similar
armament would permit.
The submarine problem apparent
ly attracts the greatest attention.
There is reason to believe that the
navy general boardc would not favor
proposals that use of submarines in
any form be abandoned entirely.
MANY officers, however, favor prohi-
'bition of the use of these craft
against any but warships, as that
would mean the end of submarine
blockades and they regard this as
one of the main particular elements
to be dealt with in any discussion of
freedom of the seas.
