other useful purpose than that of
a weapon of war.
Asked whether it would be pos
sible to limit submarines in war;
time to attacks on warships, the
British official replied
Zone must judge the future by
the past. Human nature would
break down hopelessly in such
cases"
He expressed doubt as to the pos
sibility of storing up secretly ma
terial for submarine construction in
time of peace, and thus violating
any agreement to limit their use
by speedy construction in time of
war.
The British delegates do not con-
slider it feasible to make such head
way with the settlement of land
armament during the present confer
Ience. This is not only because of
the magnitude Of the subject, but
also for the reason that some of
the largest armies on the continent,
excluding France and Italy, were
maintained by nations which are
not represented here. Furthermore,
it was held that the British and
American people were not proper
guides for the direction of such dis
cussion, as neither country maintain
ed great conscript armies.
Similarly, it was believed by the
British that it would be inexpedient
in this conference to undertake such
heavy task as the revision of the
rules of war, a problem with which
The Hague had been dealing for
years.

Mr.. Morgan was ticket and freight
agent in Paragould for a period of
something like eighteen years. Dur
ing his connection in that capacity,
he was for many years joint agent
of the Cotton Belt and the Missouri
Pacific, till the two offices were
separated, when Mr.. Frank Mack
took charge of the Missouri Pacific

Morgan retained the local agency of
the Cotton Belt. In the latter con-

was one of the recognized leaders
in the Cotton Belt agency service,
ranking high in the affairs of the
system, being regarded among the
officials of the road as one of its
best agency authorities.
During his residence in Paragould,
Mr. Morgan was prominent leader
in religious affairs, being superin-
tendent of the First Christian church
Sunday school and an important
member of the board of that de-

WILL
FIGHT TO Ban
SIJbMERSIbLE
Unyielding in Their Hope
of Scrapping ''Vipers"
emo Weapon for the
Weak Nations"

Washington, Dec. 3.-Complete
abolition of the submarine as an
instrument of warfare still is re-
garded by the British delegation as
the most preferable decision to be
reached by the armament conference
when the question of submarines is
brought up.
While the British delegates real
ize, it was said, that their view as
to the unsuitability of the subma-
rine for warfare might not prevail
in the conference, they felt GER
tain it would receive much sympa-
thy in the world at large.
In anticipation of lively dis
cussion of this subject before the
conference, one of the highest Brit
ish authorities set out the British
attitude as follows:
Would Be Abused.
The submarine hardly can be
used without being abused. In the
past it certainly was a gross abuse
of every rule of war; it destroyed
the innocent and the nom belligerent
as well as the crews of Warships;
there might be a legitimate use for
the submarine if it could be con-
fined to operations against warships;
it could not be used against mer-
chant ships without violation of the
rules of war.
Moreover, the British spokesman
said, he doubted seriously whether
the submarine really was the weapon
of the weaker power against the
stronger.
In response to an inquiry as t6
whether the same objection made tc
the submarine might not with equa
force apply to- the use of poison gas
or to the dropping of bombs from
airplanes, the British spokesman de
clared with emphasis.
1t would be impossible without
great injury to life, he said, to enc
the manufacture of chemicals ca
pable of turning. into poison gases
in time of war.
AS to airplanes, which are now {
valuable means of transportation il
times of peace, it would be possible
he added, to check the development
of these new means of communities
ton. While these airplanes, ca,
pable of carrying large cargoes il
time of peace, might carry bombs il
time of war, he contended the sub
marine could not be turned TO any

CLAIMS OF THE
JAPS REFUIED
BY AMERICANS
The 5-5-3 Ratio of Naval
Strength Proved to, Be
Liberal-Will Accept No
Change.

Washington, Nov. 30.-The pur>
pose of the American delegation to
the arms conference to accept no
modification of Secretary Hughes
proposed 5-5-3 ratio of naval
strength as the fundamental basis Of
any limitation agreement was au-
thoritatively reiterated yesterday.
The statement was backed>by dis
closure of the facts as to existing
naval strength. This shows Japan
to have less than the 60 per cent
status to which the 5-5-3 plan would
entitle her, no matter what method
of calculation is applied. 1t showed
also that the American delegates
had been over the whole field before
offering the plan, and that their
figures were correct.
Japs "Take Water"
Meanwhile Prince Tokugawa of
the japanese delegation declared
that the statement Monday of Vice
Admiral Kato of the japanese Ad-
visory Staff. contending for a 70
per cent status for Japan, was based
on personal opinion" alone. 1t was
not, the prince said, sponsored by
the delegation, of which Vice Adj
miral Kato is not member.
Prince Tokugawa would not re-
veal, however, the view of the Japa-
nese delegates as to what percentage
Japan will insist upon. He said
the four delegates are determining
this for themselves independently
of any additional instructions from
Toxic.
While these developments indicat-
ed still more strongly that decision
of this fundamental question is
drawing near, the arms conference
marked time. A further meeting OF
the naval experts of the United
States and Japan, scheduled for yes
terday, was postponed for "a hours
at the request of the Japanese.
