WORLD WAR FACTORS
HARD TO DETERMINE,
HISTORIANS ARE TOLD

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 2S.-Historians
have an important task IN judging
correctly the factors which went to
make the World war, Wayne F. Stew
ems, of the history department of
Dartmouth college, told members of
the National Historical association in
annual meeting here. He addressed
luncheon conference on the history
of the World war.
The world will judge the actors and
peoples who took part in the struggle
in the light of the historians findings,
he said
He pointed out that the documents
which tell the story of the war were
written under. great pressure and
often contain errors. Code messages,
loose translations, incorrect tran
scripts of original documents, techni-
calities, and the vast mass of matter
to be arranged and organized all pre-
sent difficulties.
He made a plea for intelligent and
organized work in preservation of the
, archives. .,.....
Historians already have done a
great work. he declared in presenting
the issue of the war while it was in
pTOSTeSS.
Ends Were Definite
"Never before in all history, per-
haps have the peoples of any belliger+
ent nations had such definite ,concep,
tions of the ends for which they were
striving" he said.
The international state, which -four
ished in the middle ages after the
feudal period, has not yet been
equalled in practical idealism, A. c
Krey of the University of Minnesota
declared in an address during dis
cussion of medieval history.
Lynn Thorndyke of the Western Re.
serve university of Cleveland, Ohio
said: Medieval enthusiasts have hith
erto centered too much attention on d
few great personalities and that al
the beginnings of modern literatures
have been over studied at the neglec'
of their mother, the richer and more
scholarly Latin literature
Jean Jules Jusserand, French am
bassador, president of the American
Historical association, was scheduled

pared with $14,000,00O five years pre-
viously.

dustry advanced from s10,000,000 in
1914 to $25000,000 in 1919. Toy i'm
ports declined from SS,000,000 in 1913
to $1,000,000 in 1918, while imports
rose in 1920 to $6,000,000 and to S10,-
600, 900 in 1921.

from less than S1,000,000 in 1913 to

Demand by France for Mini
mum of 10000 Tons Said
To Have Closed Doors
Reject Compromise.
OTHERS DELAY ACTION
tBy Associated Fress)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S-Hope for
an agreement to limit submarine ton
mage was declared to have been aband-
oned today at the meeting of the arms
conference naval committee. The
committee will meet again at 3 p. IN.
A demand by France for minimum
submarine tonnage of 10000 tons was
declared by delegates to have closed
the doors to any agreement, the
American compromise proposal hav-
ing been rejected finally and complete
ly by the French
Casting aside the possibilities of
harmonizing views on submarine ton
mage the American delegation brought
forth new proposal to limit the size
of subs and other auxiliary craft to
maximum of 10000 tons
Albert Sarraut, head of the French
delegation, it was understood, pre-
sented with an air of finality the
declaration that France could not ac.
cept less than $4,000 tons of auxiliary
/ tonnage in addition to a submarine
! tonnage of 10000.
The American proposal would have
given France about $1,000 tons of sub
marines. The British and Japanese
/ stated that, in view of the French
| stand on submarines, they would both
! feel compelled to reserve action on
| the submarine tonnage ratio for auxil-
iary craft allotted Great Britain and
! Japan under the American plan.
Express Regret
italian Spokesman who followed pre-
| sentation of the French demand, it
was said, expressed regret that France
! had not seen it clear to accept smaller
! tonnage, and Japan also, through her
| delegation spokesman, declared that
the French demands amounted to
something which Japan could not hope
| to sanction under the American pro
/ posal
! The French delegation declared ad-
; herence to the capital ship agreement
| despite disagreement on submarines.
! but with the reservation that she de
sired to begin rebuilding requirements
! in 1927, although this did not mean
that she intended placing them in the
water before the replacement period
provided under the capital agreement.
/ With so wide a difference of opin-
/ ion revealed in the submarine con-
/ troversy. however, there appeared to
| be an increasing disposition among
/ the delegates to consider plan for
leaving the whole question of auXil-
/ iary tonnage later to an international
conference. In the highest American
circles it was said a concrete propos-
al for a future conference might be
/ laid before the delegates within a few

duty that had been brought against
