Then the problem of these details. which everyone realizes may yet oc- cupy the prolonged attention of the conference and involve the success or failure of the whole plan. was re- ferred for preliminary examination to a committee of five technical naval advisers, one from each of the big five powers. Within this committee first of all Great Britain will ask for a further reduction of the limit pro- posed on submarine tonnage, Japan will endeavor 10 prove her right to greater ratio of naval strength than has been suggested, and France and Italy will request that their naval questions be considered along with those of the three stronger naval powers embraced In the American plan.
 Americans Win Victory
 Thus the diplomacy of the Ameri- can delegation has won it's first vic- tory in the conference, but still finds itself confronted with questions of admitted importance and delicacy whose solution is requisite to attain ment of the purpose for which the nations were called into consultation

OTHER NATIONS DISCUSS
 U. $. NAVAL PROPOSALS

Washington, November 15.-French and Italian navy experts making an intensive study of how limitations to be imposed on the United States. Great Britain and Japan would af- feet them come to the conclusion that their naval forces should be increased instead of reduced.
 Italian views is that Italy should be permitted to have a navy as large as that of France and in any event on a ratio of eight to ten.
 The naval question as it affects Italy and France is not now under discussion, having been reserved un- til the status of the United States Great Britain and Japan can be dis posed of. But. meanwhile, Admiral De Bon, head of the French experts and Admiral Acton who occupies g correspoundins position in the Ital, ian delegation, are with their ex perts preparing themselves for con sideration of the subject.
 Strengthened Armies
 Experts of both countries point out that during the World war Italy and France devoted themselves almost entirely to strengthening their armies and did little for their ravies.
 Among the Italians there Is a strong party urging complete agreement with France to relieve both countries of large part of their military burdens It is pointed out that the two fleets united would dominate the Mediterranean whi.e the combined armies might be relied upon to face any attack upon them.
 There is also some expression of opinion that efficacious measures might be considered to look to the limitation of armament of the Balkan states as well as Poland on the ground that complications would thus be avoided.
 The Italian argument for navy equal to France is that Italy. while having less colonia. power than France, now has population about the same, has more than 1000 miles of coast line and is obliged to bring from abroad all her coal. one third of her yheat and nearly all the raw materials required by her industries.

FRANCE ID BRING
 UP TIE MATTER OF
 LAND APARTMENTS
Briand to Explain French Po- Sition-American Military Chiefs Would Oppose
 Further Reduction
By Associated Press

Washington, November 15. France took the first step today to- ward bringing the question of land armaments of armies before the Washington conference.
 In coneurrins for France in the es- sential principles of the American proposals regarding naval establish ments, Premier Briand touched upon the army problem as far more vital to France M Briand, probably at public session later this week, will present most fully" as Secretary Hughes stated, "the views of, France with regard to the subject of land armaments, which we must discuss.
 There was no intimation In the re- marks of M. Briand that he had definite plan for reduction of arma- ments to suggest. He did say, how ever. that he was satisfied that the conference would be convinced that France. after the necessities of safety and life have been adequately se- cured, harbors no thought whatever of disturbing the peace of the world.
 M. Briand's statements were son- strued generally as showing his pur- pose to explain fully why France re- sards it necessary to retain the great force in her armies. The na- tion with the largest army, the pre- mier pointed out today 1t was appro- priate for her to take the question up but neither at the conference nor in any other quarter Is .there sugses- ton that any such sweeping proposal for reduction of armies Is to be eX- pected as the naval plan put forward by the United States.
 U. s. Army Academic
 So far as the United States is cons cerned. the army question IS largely academic The army, now far below it's authorized strength of 150,000, IS cut to the bone. Furthef reduction would be opposed by the military chiefs. No plan of the army reduc- ton will be presented and 1t may be only nominal discussion of the sub ject.
 As it now stands, the American army is looked upon by it's leaders as no more than the national police, for which there is always need. Rec ords of the war department show that prior to 1903, through the 25 preceding years, the army was called into action in some quarter for non- military work, duty that had no hing to do with war, more than 500 timess
 With less than 100000 soldiers of the regular establishment in the United States, the distribution by corps are as provides some elements of the troops within quick reach of any possible scene Of internal dis orders. Yet they are so far scattered that 1t would be a difficult matter to get together in any one area over night as much as 5000 men, and if 10, 900 were needed in some grave lcri- sis 1t must take several days at best 10 mobilize them.
 It Is for these reasons, as well as for the necessity of having force sufficient for quick expansion in case of war. that any proposal at the arms conference which would reduce fur ther American army strength would be opposed by army officials.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-11-16


 Great Britain, as previously outlined. wants the replacement programme spread over a period of years rather than taken up
 at the end of a 10-year holiday and she wants further reduction and definite Limitations on sub
 marines.
 After . session of little more than one hour the conference. after hear ing addresses of. general acceptances by Arthur J. Balfour, for the Brit ish; Baron Admiral Kato. for Japan; Senator Schanzer, for Italy. and Pre- mier Briand for France. adjourned to meet again on the call of MT. Hughes and the newly appointed com mihtee on naval armament went into secret session.
 Committee of Admirals
 The result of the latter meeting was a decision to refer the matter of naval limitation to a committee of ad mirals, to be presided over by Theo- dore Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy which will make an ex- pert report on the proposals and also make recommendations for amend ments for detail. The committee was authorized to consider fixing the na- val strength of Italy and France at the same time with the United States, Great Britain and Japan.
 This official communYque was the only report of the progress of the closed session.
 The first meeting of the committee on limitation of armament was held in the Pan American building at D. m.
 There were presented the delegate of the United States, the British em- pire. France Italy and Japan with a secretary for each delegation and the secretary general of the confer ence who was chosen secretary of the committee.
 "A subcommittee composed of one technical naval adviser for each of the five powers, was constituted to take under imme- dIate advisement the questions raised by the proposal of the
 United States for limitation of naval armaments and to re- port to the committee from time to time the progress of their de- Uberntions. The subcommittee Is composed of the following; Colonel Roosevelt, Admiral Beat ty. Vice Admiral De Bon, Vice Admiral Action and Vice Admir- nj kato with full powers of sub stitution for each adviser. At the suggestion of Mir. Balfour 1t was agreed that Colonel Roose- welt should net as chairman Of this committee.
 The committee adjourned to meet 1t the call of the chairman.
 Tomorrow morning the committee of nine will have it's first meeting to discuss the far eastern and Pacific problems.
