EXPENSE OF ARMIES
MAY BE REVIEWED
Attempt to Limit Land Forces
Will Force Powers to
Reveal Costs.
L.. S. NOT INTERESTED
Army Already Is as Small as
Is Consistent With
Safety.
t.. S. NOT INTERESTED

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1S (Associated
Press) Army expenditures OF the
various Powers probably will come under
review IL the Washington conference
makes any serious attempt to work out
scheme for limitation Of land forces.
The most authoritative data thus far
available indicates that the per capita
military expenditures for purely army
purposes of the FIVE countries are as fol-
lows:
Continental United States, $S.22 +;
Great Britain (mother country. $12.3S (;
France udngdependencies), s22.52 :
Italy, $50 and Japan, s3.3S. Includ-
ing figures for possessions or dependen-
cies for each the per capita is: United
States. $2.S9; British Empire, $1.71 ;
France, $1o24; Italy, $6.34, and japan,
$2.42.
Actual expenditures OF the five Powers
on the armies. exclusive Of the air SER
vice, on a current basis. are approx
mately as follows: United States.
s343. 600, 900. being the total for the army
and fortifications for the fiscal year
1922; British Empire. $755. .000. 900; France.
$933.000.000. including $54.000,000 In
addition to the bu1get for the Army of
the Levant; Italy. $246,000.000; Japan,
$189. .000,0 900, including a special allot-
ment of $50.000,000 for the Siberian
expedition.
The pay scale for privates per day for
men of the lowest grade is as follows
for. each country: United States, 81
United Kingdom. 50 cents; France.
cents; Italy. cents: Japan. cents
The ration costs per man per day run
about like this: United States. 40 cents
United Kingdom, 81 cents; France, 80
cents; Italy. 50 cents. and japan, II
cents.
The United States does not contem-
plate offering any definite programme
for limitation of land forces during the
conference here, and so far as the Amer
lean delegates and their military ad-
visers have been able to ascertain. none
of the foreign delegations has prepared
proposals for army reduction.
The United States has no proposals
for army limitation. it was said on au-
thority to-day, as she has nothing to
offer in her own behalf, the American
army already being as small as Is con-
sistent with national safety and sdomes-
tic needs. Great Britain, II was said
was in similar position. her army not
admitting of any reduction.
Having no suggestions for reduction
OF their own forces, 1t was said that
neither the United States nor Great Brit
tain was in a position to offer any con-
cessions nor were they desirous of sug-
gesting, on their own initiative, limits
for the armies of other Powers.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 16 tAssociated
Press).--Navsl vessels designated for
discarding under a limitation of arma-
ment agreement would have to be
scrapped or sunk, said naval experts to-
day. No satisfactory method of utiliz-
ing naval vessels for any purpose other
than that for which they were designed
and built has been evolved. they said.
Hope OF saving the discarded German
fleet was voiced in Paris at the peace
conference, these officers recalled, only
to be thrown out as impractical. The
German warships could not be used by
other countries effectively on account of
design and because OF the unusual cali
bre Of ammunition required.
Attempts to remodel the German feet
into merchant and passenger ships also
failed. naval constructors said, and sim
liar efforts to-day In connection with
ships OF the United States Navy were
declared to be equally futile. With the

for long periods and high speed for
short spaces OF time, it was asserted,
would not be suited to passenger traffic
requiring constant high speed and would
have to be replaced.
The guns could be salvaged, 1t was
said. but the whole ship would have to
be redesigned and rebuilt to suit new
purpose and would cost more than new
passenger chip. Moreover 1t was be-
lieved the conference probably would re-
quire a converted warship so built as to
make reconversion impossible.
Salvaging Is possible to certain cx-
tent, II was said, but officers recalled
that certain former ships Of the navy
were still on sale and that purchasers
were scarce. An offer for immediate
salvaging Of the proposed discards Is
hardly to be hoped for by any CONNER

existing concern has the facilities and

the United States that first laid emphasis
on the importance Of discussing the Far

examination Of Far Eastern matters

more tranquil views. Japan deter

sion that they contained many PROPOSE

Special Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD.

Special Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c., Nov. 16.
It was larned from authoritative
sources to-day that the British delega-
tion aid not come to Washington in the
anticipation that the question Of the
settlement of international debts would
come before the conference. They
brought no financial experts with them
and have no intention OF raising the
question themselves.
II, however. the French or the
Italians. who have brought their finan-
cial experts. do raise the question, II
seems probable the British will be glad
to discuss it. They see no impropriety
in Its being brought up but want 81
plainly understood that they are not
to be the ones to do it.
II becomes more and more apparent
that the conference is taking decidedly
practical. economic turn. Members OF
the British delegation speaking privately
lay great stress upon the economic saw
ing involved in the reduction of arma-
ment.
Regarding the merchant marine an6
the Panama Canal. two subjects that
have for some time been considered as
inevitable topics for consideration by
the conference, however camouflaged
nothing has been said by any Of the
British delegates.
1t is understood that when these
questions come up as vitality affecting
foreign commerce and therefore being
part OF the general economic question
they will be handled by the Admiralty
section. Officially the British Board oi
Trade is not reported on the delegation
in Washington, but Capt. v. G. Little
of the navy is here as director of the
trade division of the Admiralty section
One OF the British delegates to-day
expressed the opinion that he did moi
see how the merchant marine could be
considered in connection with the con-
. ference since merchant ships cannot be
equipped with guns. The impression pre-
walls, however, that sooner or later q
discussion of the merchant marine will
be developed.
Another point which the British say
they will not bring forward, but on which
they apparently have definite ideas. is
that of the reduction of land forces
This they expect the French and Italians
to be responsible for. The British army
they point out. while still among the
largest armies In the world. has been re.
duced to a point below which they dc
not care to bring 1t. In spite Of its size
they maintain that their army could not
be further reduced. In view Of the size
OF the British possessions. with any de-
gree Of safety.
At the same time it is apparent that
the British anticipate quite a discussion
Of this question, which, although 1t is
now being examined by a committee OF
the League of Nations. is Of such great
