 BY FRENCH DELEGATION

Washington, Dec. 19 (By the A. P.)- Discussions upon the French naval a1- lotment were based today upon fresh in- structions received by the French dele gation to the Washington conference from Premier Briand as a consequence oc communication made to him by Chairman Hughes and also in reply to inquiries on the part of NJ. Sarraut, the head of the French delegation. The sub stance of these instructions appears to be:
 First, that NJ. sarraut Is requested to satisfy the American government in respect to the French naval ratio to the utmost degree consistent with French in terests.
 Second that if a low percentage of capital shins should be accepted cor respondingly higher ratio of submarines and other small defensive craft would be agreed upon. Third. no figures whatever were named I in the instructions
 Finally order was given by the French prime minister for the delegation to fol- | low strctly defined course. Much was what may develop in negotiation with Mir. Hughes
 1 M. Sarraut who had expected to re- ceive the newspaper correspondents at 2 | o'clock tonight sent word that he was detained-with other business and re- quested M Ponsot who Is the official spokesman of the delegation, to receive them. NJ. Ponsot said that the conver. sations between MT. Hughes and the French delegates continued from 43 un. til e.10 o'clock and that it had beer agreed that M. Sarraut should present 'the modified point of view of the Frenef government at a meeting of the maya committee tomorrow.

it's full share OF leadership in the at
tainment OF better order.
In the fulfllment Of that pledge it
is the expectation of all the delegates
that the American government will
place before the conference as soon
as it begins its work concrete pro-
posal for armament limitation. Such
a proposal has been prepared by the
American delegates and there seems
to be universal agreement. that as the
initiator of the negotiations, the Unit
ed States should have the first say.
Whether the proposal will be sub
nitted tomorrow. however. is a ques-
ton which present indications would
answer in the negative.
For the most part the opening ses
sion. which will be open to the pub
lie, is expected to assume character
quite perfunctory.
Secretary Hughes, as head of the
American delegation will call the con-
ference to order and after President
Harding has delivered his address the
delegates will turn to the business of
perfecting a permanent organization.
Diplomatic custom. is generally ex-
pected to assure the selection Of Mr.
Hughes as permanent chairman. ana
when that and other details Of per-
sonnet are completed. it is probable
an adjournment will be taken until
Monday.
Renewed evidences of the pressure
of world opinion for success of the
conference rea ched Washington toby
from many quarters. In formal mes
sage. President Millerand of France
expressed to President Harding pro-
found hope that better world order
would result from negotiations here.
1t became known also that Pope
Benedict had decided publicly to make
known his desire that the purposes
of the conferences be attained.
The Pope, long a leading advocate
of world agreement to minimize the
possibilities of war has prayed for
the success for the Washington con-
ference according to a message from
Rome and to that purpose will cele-
hrate mass next Sunday morning in
the Pauline Chapel in the presence Of
several hundred people. including
many Americans resident in Italy.
The reverberation of the note Of
world wide hope as voiced in these
MESA ses and in the address of the
president constituted a prelude into
the spirit of which all of the delega-
tons in Washington seemed to enter
wholeheartcdly. Virtually all of those
who will sit in the conference heard
