turned Tuesday by the Suffolk county

ARMY PROBLEM
VITAL To FRANCE.
SAYS PREMIER
BRAND Informs Farley
Land Forces Must Be
Able to Keep Peace.
Plans to Present Views
Fully Later; Hughes
to Let France Lead.

Washington. Nov. 15.-(By The As
sociated Press France took the first
step Tuesday toward bringing the ques-
ton of land armaments of armies be-
fore the Washington conference.
In concurring for France in the
essential principles of the American
proposals regarding naval establish
ments, Premier BRAND touched upon
the army problem as far more vital to
France. BY agreement, NJ. BRAND,
probably at public session Of the con-
ference later this week, will present
most fully" as Secretary Hughes
gard to the subject. of land armaments
which we must discuss
Must Have Big Army
There was no intimation in the re-
marks of NJ BRAND that he had def
mite plan for reduction of armaments
to suggest. He did say, however. that
he was satisfied that the conferees
would be convinced that France. after
the necessities of safety and life have
been adequately secured. harbors no
thought whatever of disturbing the
peace of the world
NJ. BRAND statements were con-
strued generally as showing his pur-
pose to explain fully why France re-
CARDS it necessary to retain the great
force of her armies. As the nation
with the largest army, the premier
pointed out, it was appropriate for her
to take that question up. but neither at
the conference, nor in any other quar-
ter, is there suggestion that any such
sweeping proposal for reduction of
armies to be expected as the naval plan
put forward by the United States. :.
U. S. Below Quota
So far as the United States is con-
cerned, the army question is largely
academic. The American army, now
far below its authorized strength of
10000 men. is cut to the bone Fur
ther reduction would be opposed by
both civil and military chiefs of the war
department. No American plan of
army reduction will be presented and it
may be that there will be only nominal
discussion of the subject.
AS it now stands. the American army
is looked upon by it's leaders as no
more than the national police force for
which there is always need.

ENGLAND WOULD

ON SUBMARINES
Balfour Declares Big
Type of Underwater
Craft Are Undesirable
Suggestion on Naval
Shipbuilding Will Be
Taken Up Later.

: Washington, Nov. 15-(By The As
soeiated Press) While Arthur Bal.
four, head of the British delegation,
| did not 60 into details at Tuesdays
plenary session of the armament con-
ference as to notifications in the
American plan desired by the British
it was explained later by the British
naval experts that as to submarines
they believed that not more than 45.UOO
tons of each in the aggregate in these
crafts should be allowed for Great
Britain and the United States, and
proportionate reduction of the allow
ances of the American program should
be applied to Japan. The British naval
experts thought, it was said, that the
; 10000 tons allowance of the American
plan was too large.
Would Limit Size
In addition, it was said. the British
experts considered it essential that
q limit be put ON the size Of individual
submarines as they said. had been
admirably proposed by Secretary
Hughes for battleships. The purpose.
1t was said, was to confine submarines
to purely defensive work aud Elake
them incapable of use overseas.
If you stop building big battleships.
you should stop building submarines
it was said.
1t was asserted that big sea-going
submarines. especially, affected Great
Britain's overseas possessions. 1t was
emphasized also that Great Britain ,e-
garded the submarines ''as rcry un-
desirable form of naval vessels and
contrary to the principles Of humane
warfare. if there is such a thing"
Regarding Naval Holiday
Touching Mr. Balfour's suggestions
as to naval shipbuilding, it was said
that the British view was that there
should be single building yard or SO,
retained by each nation, capable to
turning ont one ship a year. instead
of keeping up all the big warship build
ing yards ready to start up at once
at the end OF 10 years or any otner
time. If relations were strained.
Adoption of the British modification
on this point would involve heavy re-
ductions in warship building facilities
of Great Britain and the United States.
it was said and proportionate reductions
for other nations. The scheme would
apply, it was added, only to wasship
construction facilities and not o wards
doing commercial work. Limitation of
commercial yards would be retro

FRANCE AND ITALY
WILL De INCLUDED
IN NAVAL PROGRAM
Big Three Agree Not to Sign
Any Agreement Until Stat
us of Two Are Fixed.

Washington. Nov. 15.-tBy The AS
sociated ssl.-The Franco Italian
contention that an agreement covering
limitation of naval armament OF the
United States. Great Britain and Japan
should not be approved by those powers
until the naval status of France and
Italy had been settled has been ae-
cepted in principle hy the committee on
limitation of armament, it was learned
Tuesday night.
Secretary Hughes. as chairman of the
committee. was understood to have
agreed in the proposal that no sigma
lures will be attached to the naval
agreement until the French and Italian
positions have been worked out as defi-
niteiy as those of the three major naval
powers.
Might Cause Trouble
Omission Of the French and Italian
fleets from the agreement defining
naval strength under the limitation pro-
posal. it was observed, might produce
an unpleasant impression in some
quarters and possibly lead to complica-
tions
French and Italian navy experts
making an intensive study Of how limi-
tations to be imposed on the United
States. Great Britain and Japan would
affect them. come to the conclusion that
their naval forces should be increased
rather than reduced.
The Italian viewpoint, as it prevails
among their experts, is that Italy
should be permitted to have navy az
large as that of France and in any
event on ratio of to 10. The naval
question as it affects Italy and France
is not now under discussion, having
been reserved by the conference nutil
the status of the United States. Great
Britain and Japan can be disposed Of
Have Big Armies
Experts Of both countries point out
that during the world war Italy and
France devoted themselves almost en-
tirely to Strengthening their armies and
did little for their navies.
Among the Italians there is strong
party urging a complete agreement
with France to relieve both countries
of large part Of their military bur-
dens. 1t is pointed out that the two
fleets united would dominate the Medi-
terranean, while the combined armies
might be relied upon to face any attack
on them.

Pope Is Pleased
With Progress of
Powers Meefinu
Cut Armamenfs

Rome, Nov. i5.-lBy The As
sociated Press.)-A reflection of
Pope Benedict's attitude towards
the subjects under discussion at
the Washington conference was
given Tuesday in an article pub
lished by the Corriere d'ItaIia, the
semi-officiai Vatican organ.
"Just and lasting peace" says
the newspaper, sis the Vatican
formula which is gradually being
adopted by other powers. Bene-
dict XIV preached ana counseIled
peace, not only for ending the con-
flict then in progress, but a peace
bringing the heI!igerent nations
into conditions in which they
would have neither the opportun-
ity nor the temptation to enter
new wars. In the papal proposal
of August /, 1917, he indicated
that the fundamental point must
be the substitution of moral force
and right for material force of
arms. Therefore just agreement
among all for the Simultaneous
and reciprocal diminution of arma-
ments will follow"
The article declared the holy
see had always been conviced that
the fundamental point insuring
peace was 20 render fresh vars
extremely improbable, if not impos-
sibIe. The newspaper said the
pope had deeply studied proposals
for arbitration and disarmament,
holding that the simplest and most
efficacious mode Of reaching dis
armament was by the abolition Of
conscription, for without conscrip.
tIon the normal life of a nation
could proceed and war on a great
scale would be impossible.
The institution of obligatory ar
bitration would be tho inevitable
result of disarmament. the news
paper declared, with the punish
ment by economic boycott, being
applied to recaIcitrant nations.
The article said that President
Harding's initiative was praise
worthy, but II the conference were
aiming to the true good of human
ity 1t must inevitably proceed along
the lines formerly Indicated by The
holy see.

New York, l5.-Certain banking
Institutions In this city served no.
tice on their correspondents, both

preclated currency In central
Europe. The single exception Is
made In the case OF exchange on

The reason given for this drastic
step is that 1t takes almost 30,000,-
900 German marks to equal $780,
900 and that in consequence, trans
actions in mark exchange are not
profitable.
