PRE-WAR CONDITIONS
GOVERN NIPPON ARMY
Peace Strength 300, 900;
Awoits Other Povers.

7. WASHINGTON. Nov. 23:-Japans gen.
eral position as to the army question is
explained as being that on account Of
the war, in which she took no great
part on lands, she Is backward in all
branches of the knowledge of warfare.
Her army OF twenty-one divisions, 1t
Is declared, is more or less based on
pre-war conditions. and she realizes
that she Is particularly inefficient in
aviation compared with other Powers.
The peace strength of the twenty-one
divisions is put at about 100000 and
the length of military service is two
years for all departments. the cavalry
recently having been reduced from
three years. What Japan would do as
to a reduction OF total strength would
depend on what other nations would
be willing to do, II Is said.
Japan has TO keep In mind her geo.
graphical position. the maintenance OF
order at home and the exigencies of the
Far Eastern situation as a whole, in
cluding conditions in China and Siberia
and the sometimes disquieting situation
in Corea, whore two divisions are con-
stantly stationed.

COMPROMISE LIKELY
ON NAVAL DETAILS


newer vessels two Of them would have
to 80 so that one of the newer vessels
might be retained. - =. r
i The. officers Of the navy take the posi-
ton that the retention Of these battle-
ships, which are nearing completion,
could be justified on the ground that
they require less personnel to operate.
For instance, the new battleships will
require about 1900 officers and men,
while the old battleships, of only half
the tonnage, require 1000 officers and
men. It would mean 5000 officers and
men to man the two new battleships.
while it would require 1000 to man the
old.
Some sentiment exists in the Navy
Department for the completion of two
or more battle cruisers. upon the ground
that the American feet has none OF
that type of vessel. According to the
last official report on construction. the
Saratoga is nearest completion of the
six now building and Is 29.4 complete.
The Lexington Is 26.7 complete. Experts
say that type of ship lends itself to con-
version more easily to duty as an air
craft carrier. the tonnage of which al-
lowed to the United States is 10000.
Naval experts of the various nations
involved in the agreement declared to-
day there had not been the slightest
discord in considering the questions In
volved. The seeming hitch in the pro-
ceedings. they explained, was due to
the fact that the experts OF Great
Britain and Of Japan had to look up de-
tails about the programme. The scheme
was one advanced by the United States
and the American officers had the op-
portunity beforehand of looking into 1t
from q technical standpoint.

on Participation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23 (Associated
Press) Tho desire OF Italy to partici-
pate in the consortium dealing with Chi.
nese fiscal affairs was made known to-
day during an interview accorded to the
press by Senator Aibertini and Ambas-
sador Ricci. ut the Italian Embassy.
Addition of Italy to those now included,
Senator AIbertini said, might remove
some OF the objections indicated by
China to tho plan as whole. Italian
views In the matter have been discussed
privately with some delegates. he added,
but have not yet come up in the con-
ference formally.
Predicting that II would be more diff
ficult to fix standard Of the limitation
OF land than naval armamenrS the
italian delegate said that TO reach an
understanding over the reduction of
land armaments the conference must
discuss the reasons mitigating In favor
or against tho maintenance of the re-
duction OF land armaments.
The greatest difficulty for the limita-
tion OF land armnments, he said, was
expressed by Premier BRAND Monday,
when he said that France could not ac-
cept reduction of her forces unless she
received proper guarantees. Declaring
that Italy and France are on the best
or terms, he said reduction Of the Ital-
Ian land armaments had been inspired
by the true desire Of bringing about in
Europe situation OF lasting peace"
Italy has not and will not take sec
ondary place in the conference, Ambas-
sador Ricci said, and added that he has
the greatest confidence in the practical
results Of the conference"

WASHINGTON. Nov. % (Associated
Press) The attempt to settle specific
problems that are troubling the Far
East led to-day TO the first sharp clash
Of opinions in the arms conference.
A British view OF the concrete appli-
cation Of the four general principles al
ready adopted met with prompt chal-
lenge from the Chinese, and the Chinese
delegates themselves were pointedly
asked by the French to show by what
authority they presumed to speak for all
Of China over. the protests of the south
China Government at Canton.
Strangely enough the Japanese. who
had been the first to raise objections to
the consideration Of details of the Far
East, came forward with suggestion
that they would not oppose an examina-
tion of their famous "twenty-one de-
mands' treaty with China to ascertain
whether it conflicts with the 'open
door, ssr.5 e.f
Although the action of the French in
questioning the, credentials of the Chi
nese caused a inomentary furry in the
meeting of the -nine delegations the di-
vergence of opinion between the Chinese
and British over application OF the four
principles of the Root resolution at
tracted widest attention because of it's
possible effect on future negotiations.

that 1t will not fail of support either
by the American or the British public.
They have noted with keen interest
tho attacks which are being made upon
the pact by prominent British publicists.
Definite Chinese opposition to the pact
Is bound to carry weight on it's own ac-
count because of the possibility that the
Chinese boycott against Japanese goods
may be extended to those of Great Brit
ain. In this connection they hope to
obtain a review Of the Lansing-Ishii
agreement
The determination to have the secret
commitments concerning China placed
on the conference table Is basic with
the Chinese advisers. They insist there
can be no settlement of Chinese affairs
until It Is determined what is the pos
ture of these affairs. Their determina-
ton to have these agreements laid upon
the table Is part of their policy of de-
termined opposition to having accom-
plished facts removed by Japan from
the consideration of the conference II
taken into consideration as completely
as the present or the future in reaching
decisions.
Regardless of what concessions Japan
may be willing to make as to Shantung.
the Chinese want the settlement made in
the presence OF the conference, so the ma
tions will, in effect, underwrite the set
tlement. The Chinese believe that the
Shantung settlements will be based on
concessions exacted as to, Manchuria
and Eastern Inner Mongolia. The ex-
actions which Japan will seek in these
regions, the Chinese spokesmen believe,
will represent the crisis Of the discussion
over China.
The situation in Mongolia proper.
which neither the American nor Japan
ese delegation is willing to define In its
relation to China, is complicating the
situation. Russian influence is under

change from the present foreign control.
The Chinese replied to the challenge
that they We're representing the only
Government in China recognized by the
Powers and were attempting to help
rather than complicate the negotiations
by furnishing whatever information they
could.
The difference of view between the
British and Chinese developed when a
British spokesman explained to news
paper men that his Government re-
garded the four accepted principles as
meaning acceptance by China of finan-
cial consortium. po5-;ng of the opera
ton OF railroad concessions held by the
Powers, and continued supervision of
China's customs. The Root resolutions,
according to the British viewpoint, were
adopted with acceptance by China of
these principles in view by the sigma
tory Powers.
The Chinese quickly sent out word
that they had agreed toyno such pro-
gramme, while Dr. Alfred SEE. Chinese
Minister to the United States. declined
to enter into detailed discussion Of the
Interpretation in the absence Of an Of
fetal statement containing them. The
Chinese delegation declared committee
discussion OF the resolutions had brought
forth no expression by the delegates Of
the British view, and that China placed
no such Interpretation ON them. The
consortium, DR.. SEE said, had not even
been mentioned in the committee.
According to the Chinese view the
Root resolutions apply to the open
door, as embodied in the policy defined
by John Hay, waving of special rights
and privileges. unhampered political and
economic development Of China and as
