BELGIAN ROYAL HEIR MAY
WE'D PRINCESS YOLANDO
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BRUSSELS, December 27-Reports
of the engagement of the Duke Of
Brabant, eldest son of King Albert,
to Princess Yolando, eldest daughter
of King Victor Emmanuel of Italy.
have gained considerable circulation.
Ignorance of their reported engage
ment was professed today in royal
circles, but other persons prominent
in Belgian society expressed belief
that the report was not without foun-
dation.
The Duke Of Brabant, who is twen-
ty years old, served with distinction
in the Belgian army during the war,
and was awarded the croix de guerre
and the grand cross of the Legion
of Honor by the French government.
He accompanied his father and
mother on a tour Of the United States
in 1919. He is also known as Prince
Leopold, and is the heir apparent to
the Belgian throne.
This is not the first time that Prin-
cess Yolando has been reported en-
gagged. In 1916 there were persistent
reports of her engagement to the Prince
of Wales, but the report was officially
denied by the Italian embassy at
Paris.
In 1919, when King Ferdinand of
Rumania was reported to have been
dissatisfied with the morganatic mar
riage Of Crown Prince Charles. the
Italian princess was much talked of
as Prince Charles possible fiancee.
Again last January she was reported
engaged to Archduke Ferdinand OF
Austria, but the report was quickly
denied. officially. in Rome.

British delegation placed French
existing submarine tonnage at about
$4,000 tons, while the American group
placed it at more than $4,000 tons. It
was learned today that the American
calculation was based on figures OBJ
tanned from the French, and based by
them ON submerged tonnage. but be-
lieved by the Americans to be in
terms of surface displacement The
whole proportion of submarine ton
mage was upset by that item, as all
other navies were calculated in the
American list in surface displace-
ment
1t appeared possible to some naval
officials today that ultimately the
conference would decide to calculate
submarines in terms of submerged
displacement and thus avoid all ques-
tion of the ships military load.
American Practice Followed.
American practice. in calculating
normal displacement of surface ves-
sells has been followed thus far by
the conference. based on the dead
weight of the ship derived from her
design and actual weighing of
material during construction. plus
the full weight of her ammunition
and two-thirds of the weight of her
fuel and other consumable stores.
The Importance of fixing an interna-
tional naval tonnage rule for the con-
ference. to avoid future disputes, is
sharply indicated to naval experts
through such cases as that of the
Dreadnaught, first of the all-big-gun
battleships to be built and now
scheduled to be scrapped. The
naval lists as of about 1900 tons dis
placement. Actually she was an
Overweight ship" when launched and

ASK FOR DOUBLING
| OF RUSSIAN RELIEF
Workers Abroad Can Reach
Only 1,250,000 Of Total OF
100000 Children.

The American Relief Administra-
ton and supporting organiza tions
can, at the very utmost, take care of
only 1,250,O00 Russian children out
of the 100000 in need of food, ac-
cording to a cablegram from Col
William N. Haskell, in charge OF the
American Relief Administration work
in Russia, to DIR. Charles S. MacIar-
land, general secretary of the Fed
eral Council of the Churches OF Christ
in America, made public To-Day.
The relief organizations are now
feeding 100000 starving children in
, the Eolga basin. and the message
said by the middle of January Will
| be feeding almost 1,250,0G0 (which
is the limit of tie present resources
of the American Relief Adninistra-
ton and supporting organizations.
"Should he Doubled"
"This number of children fed should
be doubled at the very least the ad-
vices continued, Ito meet the abso-
! lutte minimum requirements and pre-
vent wholesale child starvation, for
the peak OF the need will be reached
IN the months of January. February
and March. and will continue till the
September harvest. as the piiifuily in
sufficient food supplies will gradually
become entirely exhausted
Col Haskell stated in his cablegram
that the children are in desperate
need; that all relief supplies not only
can but do reach the children for
whom they are intended and that
child-feeding on American principles
can be efficiently carried out. only
intensification by an increase of re-
sources is required to completely meet
the situation; that no opposition is
encountered with the Russian govern
ment in the relief work and the gov
ernment is assisting them, and that

month.

New Modification Expected to Call

that the rumblings of opposition
which have developed to the pact IN

based on the same Polnt-.ht lhciu-

r.cking this feature of the pact as an

before il is put i'll final torn.
At the time the pact was being con-
sidered by the representatives OF
Great Britain Japan and sne cnlteo
States, Admiral Baron kato originally
1ook the position that Japan proper
should no. be included. Arthur Bal
Jour argued that as all the BRUSH
islands in the Pacific, including aus
1ra,ia and New Zealand. were within
the scope of the agreement. it would
Undoubtedly be more pleasing to the
latter two if no discrimination were
made between islands regardless OF
whether they were colonies or seats
OF home government. That was as

CODE Of WARFARE
WA|TSNEXTPARLEY
Special Commissions Likely
to Dispose Of UncompIeted
Agenda Subjects.
BY the Associated Press.

Dy the ASSoclated PresS.
While there has been practically
a definite decision on the part of
the armament conference to lay aside
for this time REORGANIZATION OF a
code of rules of .rfare and of con-
troll OF new agencies OF war, many
delegates are said to feel that in
the interest of an orderly transac-
tion of business the conference must
record itself in some fashion on al
of the items in its rather extended
agenda.
Hence it is now suggested in. some
quarters that one or more resolutions
be adopted providing for the continu-
alton of the study of these subjects
by special commissions of experts
representative of all the nationallties
present in the conference, under in
structions to report the results OF
their studies either separately to the
various governments OF perhaps to
another conference to be called d year
or two hence.
With regard to "mandated islands"
and electrical communications in the
Pacific the suggestion was made that
the conference take more than the most
formal action on these topics, as they
are practically disposed of In the ne
gotiations just concluded between
America and Japan over the Island OF

ference If all of these are included IN
Japan with Korea Il peninsula and
the 1000 islands in the Japanese mann
date covered by another treaty, there
will not be any possession OF Japan
affected by the pact.
Sakhalln in Doubt.
Involved in the same definition is the
question whether the north half of
Sakhalin island. which has been held by
a japanese expedition since June OF last
year, is considered a possession Of Japan.
Japan has announced that she will
eventually withdraw from this and from
the even larger portion OF the old
Sakhalin territorial district on the main
land of Siberia. but she is in possession
now and the question has been raised
whether the other three powers by sign
ing the pact sanction that possession.
The distinction between mainland and
island possessions of Japan is also per-
tinent in the final solution of fortifica-
tons in the Pacific. Under the agree
bases, except in Hawaii, Australia and
New Zealand, are to remain in their
presen: condition. However. the same
restriction does not apply to the home
shores of the four powers ana the GueS-
ton naturally arises. especially as to
Formosa, which of the islands are con-
sidered the home shores of Japan. 1t is
certain that Japan is not limited to the
main island of Hondo. as Shimoniseki
and Tsugaru straits, Tsushima and the
Inland sea are now included in the for
tilted zone.
So far as the United States is con-
cerned. the same question arises in re-
gard to the Aleutian islands stretching
out from Alaska. with Dutch harbor
several hundred miles closer to Japan
than Hawaii is.
