BRINGING

ITALY IN LINE
az GEoRGE R. HoLMEs

WASHINGTON, Dec 16-Using the
triple agreement between the United
States. Great Britain and Japan as a
bedrock. the conferene powers started
today on the task of bringing France
and Italy into line and constructing
a five powered naval agreement which
will defne in positive terms the navaI
strength Of the world for the next ten
years.
Only the fxing of the Italian and
French ratios. and the settlement of
submarine and other auxiliary craft
strength rcmain in the way to the COM
plete accomplishment of the primary
aim of the conference. A vast amount
Of parIey and discussion will be neces-
sary TO bring this about. but no serious
difficulties are anticipated.
spurred on by the hope of getting
out of Washington by New Years, the
heads or delega tions. assisted by their
experts. plunged back into the naval
discussion today with speed their main
object.
The secret meetings of the big three
gave way to the equally secret meetings
Of the committee on limitation of naval
armament, comprising afteen men three
from each Of the ave powers. as fol
lows:
Unitsd states-secretary Hughes,
Theodore Roosevelt admiral Robert
E. Coontz.
Great Britain-A. ]. Balfour. Lord
Lee and Admiral Chatfield.
Japan-Baron Kato. Vice Admiral
Kato. and Captain Suyetsugu.
France-M. Sarraut N. Jusserand
and Admiral De Bon.
Italy-Senator Schanzer. NJ. A1bertini
and Admiral Acton.
Unofficial French spokesmen have In
dicated their intention Of demanding
naval ratio for France equal to that
OF Japan. So far, this demand has not
been formally placed before the other
delegates, and doubt was expressed to-
day if it ever would be. France stands
alone III her desire for a navy second

Great Britain.
Italy has no specific. demands In the
