DE VALERA STUMBLING BLOCK
Dali Seeks Some Way to Prevent
Humilating Leader.
By the Associated Press.

DUBLIN, December 1.-THE crowd
greeting the members Of the dali
eireann at the entrance of University
College was much thinner today than
on the two previous days OF its con-
alteration Of the Irish peace treaty.
The private sessions Of the dail, 1t
is declared in some quarters, have
been devoted largely to an attempt to
discover some method whereby 1t can
accept the treaty and at the same
time not register defeat for Eamonn
principal difficulty in the way Is said
to be De Valera himself
The dali can accept or reject the
treaty, but cannot make fresh one
without renewed negotiations, yet
parts of the debate in secret session
are said to have been concerned with
the details as to how the delegates
might have secured better terms.
Arrays Attitude PusslinS.
The attitude of the republican army
il causing much speculation: Its
vided on the question OF accepting the
treaty, but all the leaders agree in
depreciatinE any interference by the
army in the political decision.
The ofilciai organ of the army de-
clares that whatever the decision may
be the army Will accept IL IN the true
spirit Of disciplined soldiers in sup
port of the national will constitu-
tionally expressed.
Reports were in circulation here
yesterday in usually authoritative
quarters that . split Is taking place
among the factions in Belfast and
that this will be made manifest should
the dahl eireAnn ultimately ratify the
peace treaty with Great Britain.
According to the reports. several OF
the biggest business men in Belfas,
are understood to be In close touch
with friends Of the treaty in the dali
eireann, and It is said an inside or.
9anization Is being built up in the
highest circles Of the unionist party
in Belfast.

BRIEFLY TOLD STORY
OF ARMS CONFERENCE

The Star is publishing each Day q sum-

Agreement between the United

having been reached on the naval
ratio, the committee of fifteen"
on limitation of armament met to-
day to consider the ratio to be
fixed for France and Italy and the
question of auxiliary ships for all

Under the agreement reached on
the capital ship ratio of the United

cation Of diminution of good intent IN
this regard.
China may be advised. for instance
to refrain from urging interjection of
suggestions which the prepondcrating
sentiment in the conferece might
consider as untimely, in relation to
the agenda and scope of the present
occasion. The good offices Of all the
parties to the conference will con-
tinue to be applied to the composition
of the troubles of China and Japan.
Courteous Comment Desirable.
The fixing Of the naval ratios for
France and Italy. now in undertaking
in tie naval committee Of fifteen. is
essential to perfecting the agreement
or Great Britain. Japan and the
United States which was entered into
yesterday. Cautious comment at this
time is said to be regarded as desira-
BILE.
1t is inconceivable. however. that
negotiation. concession and argument
will fail Of effecting a compromise in
keeping with the objects of the great
| conference.
1t would be a travesty upon the
purpose OF the conference. it is said
if naval ratio for France and Italy
should be accorded which would
amount in effect to An increase of
! armed naval power rather than
diminution thereof The potential
ity Of possible combining of the
French and Italian fleets of the future
| is said to be taken into account. In
the same connection is considered the
reliability of France having to main
tain for awhile strong land force.
Would Lessen Militarist Spirit.
All Of these considerations. while
they may be Of especial Significance
| to individual powers, are held to go
to the prime objects Of the arms con-
ference-the lessening Of the mill
! tarIst spirit OF the potential nations
| sf the world and reduction in the
means of making war.
| President Harding. in his opening
address to the conference. uttered a
sentence which has gone around the
4, world-"less of armament and none
| of war" The leading spirits in the
] conference are classed as keeping
(; clearly before them the possibility
Of providing for less of armament.
That can be done, IL Is said, And the
hope of none Of war" thereby given
practical stimulation.
| The British insistence upon
| smaller submarine. or a no subma-
! rine policy, is classed as likely to
f, cause discussion which may be pro-
longed, but should not operate TO
lessen hope Of finally rounding out
the naval limitation plan as Q COM
pleted program.

TOXIC. December l5.-Japan has
consented TO the purchase by China
OF the kiaochow- -Tsinanfu railway in
Shantung. Instructions with regard
to this were sent to the Japanese
delegates In Washington several days
ago. according to a competent au-
thority. and consummation OF the sale
depends on an agreement as to method
and also to some extent on China's at
dtude on other pending problems.
The government Is considering sew
eral plans under which the transfer
OF the railway Gan be made. In any
case. it is said, Japan anticipates re-
tanning cooperative interest in the
railway. while transferring the title
to China. 1t has been suggested that
the purchase likely would embrace
the form Of a loan. payable over a
period Of from thirty to forty years.
