The European diplomat and especial

backward from this phenomenon, has
come to the conclusion that press

sticks do not amount to anything.
Hence the Washington and visiting

in favor of colleagues who We're
equipped with malaccas, went out
and bought themselves canes. A

Unfortunately, the folks back home

DENIES BRAND -SCHANZER
CLASH AT Conference

Newspaper reports intimating that
Premier BRAND of France and Senator
Schanzer, leader OF the Italian dele
cation to the arms conference, had had
a harsh debate" in a session of the
conference committee on naval ar
mament, were officially denied last
night by a representative of the
Italian delegation and branded as
utterly without foundation"
m. BRAND and Senator Schanzer
were then and have been since on the
most cordial terms" said the Italian
spokesman. Senator Schanzer was
merely setting forth Italy's viewpoint
on the land armament question and
the French premier only reiterated
the stand on that matter that he had
taken in the plenary session previous
ly. 1t is deeply to be regretted that
this should be misconstrued as a
clash"
Italy fears no nation in Europe"
continued the speaker, least of all
would she consider possible hostili-
ties with France or any other of her
former allies. Owing to her position,
Italy wants navy equal to any
Mediterranean power. but beyond that
she considers protection unnecessary.
Italy has already put through a moral
and actual disarmament, and it was
not for financial reasons alone. Italy
came to the conference with a deter
mination to stand behind the United
States for peace, with the desires of
a mediator and with sincere purposes
of forwarding the welfare of the
world"

BRITISH AGAIN ASK
FRANCE T0EXPLA|N
New Note Reiterates Re-
| quest to Interpret Terms of
Turkish Treaty.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON. Nov. 26.--Answering the
French note on the subject of the
treaty recently negotiated by France
with the Turkish nationalist govern
ment at Angora, to which Great
Britain has taken exception in some
particulars, British note was hand
ed last night to the French ambassa- :
dor here reiterating, it is understood,
the British expression of desire for
further explanation of the terms
and purpose of the separate pact made
by France with the government of
Mustapha Kemal Pasha.
The British position is that the
French, aside from dealing a severe
blow to allied solidarity by negotiat-
ing the Angora treaty. have caused
the Turks to assume a highly uncom-
promising attitude which is likely to
make extremely difficult any media
tion with the Greeks on moderate
terms.
Official circles indicated they did not
expect the latest note to result in any
material progress toward a settlement
in the near east or the restoration of
full harmony in the policies of Eng
land and France with regard to that
area The note, however, it is stated,
sets forth the British attitude in a
firm but courteous manner and places
the British position on record until
a meeting of the allied supreme
council can be held at which the
whole question of the near east can
be reconsidered. The place and the
date for such a meeting have not as
yet been determined upon.

PRESIDENT SUGGESTS ANNUAL
~" PARLEYS TO PRESERVE PEACE
Would Extend Personnel of Conferences to
Include All Countries in Possible
Association of Nations

/, the Washington conference will not
be able to make final decisions on
some subjects relating to ornaments,
since subjects like the rules of war
fare necessarily must be given a
Wofid-wlde consideration before
there can be a revision to which the
powers will be willing to bind them
selves. continuing commission on
aircraft is regarded as another prob
aoie outcome of the conference. and
II may be that after limit has been
set ON the submarine power OF the
nations there may be a more perma-
nent body created to consider the Sug
gestion that underwater warfare be
abolished altogether.
1t was not indicated whether the
President had suggested even infor-
mally to the foreign delegates the ad-
visibility of inviting Germany and
other unrepresented nations to partici-
pate in the agreements reached here,
and none Of the foreign spokesmen
would discuss the possibility. 1t was
recalled that when Belgium. Portugal
and the Netherlands were added to the
invitation list of the conference the
United States first sought the approval
of the other powers. and an official of
one foreign delegation said that he pre-
sumed the same method would be fol-
lowed in regard to further invitations.
In the view of most delegates. it
would not be necessary for all the ma
tionS to send delegates to Washington
TO participate in the final agreements
of the conference. Such. a proceeding
might lead to considerable delay. and it
proposals of the conference simply
would be transmitted to the various
foreign offices for acceptance or rejec-
ton.

DEMANDS ABROGATlON
OF ANGLO JAPANESE PACT
Tinkham Presents Resolution
Making Arms Cut Contingent
Upon Dropping of Alliance.

Demand for abrogation Of the Anglo
japanese treaty of 1911 before the
United States enters into any interna-
tional agreement for limitation of the
naval armaments of this country is
made in resolution by Representative
Tinkham of Massachusetts, now under
consideration of the House committee
on foreign affairs. which he insists he
will press for concurrent approval when
Congress reassembleS.
Representative Tinkham calls attea-
ton to the fact that at the opening
session of the international conference
on the limitation OF armament the
accredited representatives of the United
States, as an expression of the national
will to peace" proposed Il limitation of
the naval armament of the United
States. Great Britain and Japan upon
d ratio based upon existing naval
strength. by the terms of which the
United States, in the spirit of interna-
tional friendship and accord. will agree
to withhold for ten years the exercise
of it's recognized right in principle to
equality upon the seas with any other
power.
Representative Tinkham points out
that the Auglo-JapaneSe treaty of 1911
is a military alliance, offensive and de-
fensive. between Great Britain and ia
pan, and. therefore, in conflict with the
entire spirit of the American proposal.
In consideration of this fact. his reso-
luton proposes that no final and def1-
mite agreement in relation to the limi-
tation of naval armament by the united
States shall be entered into by the
representatives of the United States
until the Apgio-Japanese treaty of 1911
shall have been abrogated or without
a definite understanding of its immedi-
ate abrogation.

CUT WOULD SAVE
FRANCE MILLIONS
Billion Francs Annual Reduc-
ton in Arms Budget Seen
in Limitation.
By the Associated Press.

PARIS, November 2J.-A billion
francs annually would be the saving
through the reduction of military
service in France to eighteen months.
it was estimated in the course of
debate in the senate today. Five
hundred million francs was consid
cred as the cost of maintaining the
soldiers for the period after eight
cen months service, while an equal
amount was lost on account of the
presence of the young workers in the
army.
The question arose during the de-
bate on a law to organize physical
training for boys in preparation for
military service. Minister of War
ure would hasten the moment when
the army could be reduced to an
eighteen months service basis. bring
ing the forces under arms to about

this number by more than $4,000.

Sidelighs on the Conference

Ever since the arms conference
started newspaper men and others
have often mistaken the representa-
tives of the two orinetal nations.
Time and again the Japanese have
been called Chinese, and vice versa,
and confusion and apologies profuse
have followed. Many have expressed
themselves as feeling quite ignorant
in not being able to differentiate at

ACTION ON LIMITATION
OF LAND ARMAMENT
IS HELD I'm RESERVE"

1t is stated in high official quar-
ters that the question of limita-
ton of land armament and the
size of armies is at present "in re-
serve" in the deliberations Of the
armament conference. The sub
ject-Yas committed to commit
tee of the five major. powers, with
authority to report to the commit
tee of the whole. Up to this time
the subcommittee has not taken
up consideration of the subject!
It is explained that this course
does not mean that the subject is
to be definitely pigeon holed, but
that the attention of the confer
ence is now engaged with naval
armament and far eastern ques-
tions, and its hands are full.
This means that discussion of the
maintenance by France of large
army will not have q foundation of
oflcial action by the conference at
this. time.

LONDON REVIEWS
LESS CONFIDENT
Attitudes of Japan and
France Cause Misgivings
on Conference.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON. November 25.-The weekly
reviews again comment at great length
on the Washington conference. but with
far less confidence than a week ago.
Their misgivings are based mainly on
what is considered the doubtful attitude
Of Japan and France.
Lord Northcliffe's demand for de-
nunciation of the Anglo-Ja panese treaty
is criticised in some of the journals. but
mainly on the ground that the alliance
ought not to be sacrificed merely 10
please the United States, but because ii
stands in the way OF the success of the
conference. But even the reviews OBJ
jecting to the Northcliffe method agree
that the alliance should be got rid OF.
The Spectator considers Japan's atti-
tIde disappointing, and says that un-
less Japan can be brought 10 a change
OF mind there is grave fear that the
conference will prove fiasco. This
newspaper declares plainly that unless
Japan agrees to Il naval sacrifice the
United States and Great Britain must
deal with the Pacific question by them
selves.>
Failure Sn Merits.
The Saturday Review also says the
AngIo-Japanese pact should not go be-
cause of American pressure. but be-
cause. on its merits, it is failure.
The New Statesman, takes the view
that the precise extent of a reduction
in armament Is a matter of little con-
sequence If the nations are determined
there shall not be war. Therefore, it
says there is no reason why Great
Britain should not make concessions.
1t thinks the French attitude is the
most serious danger to the conference.
The Weekly Nation, admitting that
the success of the conference with
regard to China depends on whether
the British government is ready 10
drop the Japanese alliance, takes a
similar view to the Statesman.
The Outlook says Japan can indu-
bitably destroy the conference and
sees reasons to fear she may do so.

The Japanese delegation to the arms

The data, in addition to dealing with
capital ships, is said also to relate to
subsidiary vessels.
The estimate for Japan suggested
in the American limitation plan was
the "5-5-3 ratio" while Japan coun-
ters with a proposal for "10-1O-7'
