It will now be in order to consider the many details which must be associated with an exact agreement for that purpose.
 There are subjects. it has been suggested here, which will appro- Spriately be examined by naval ex- perts, and it Is the desire of the American government that what has been proposed by that government, with the suggestions that have been made by MT.

Then, if you will draw that picture and if you will see all that 1t applies and that it carries with 1t. you will understand why it Is that every citizen of the British Empire, whether he comes from the far dominions of the Pacific or whether he lives In the small is- lnnd An the North seas, never can forget that 1t is by sen com- munication that he lives and that without sea communications the empire to which he belongs would perish.
 Great Britain Strong
 Now, ladies and gentlemen, do no suppose that I am uttering lament: over the weakness of my empire Far from it. We are strong, I hope in the vigorous life of it's constituten' parts. We are strong, I hope, in tn. ardent patriotism which binds us al together. But this stragetic weak. ness Is obvious to everybody who re. fleets; 1t Is present in the minds o1 our enemies, if we have enemies. Dc not let it be forgotten by our friends

BAD BLOOD RUINS
 COMPILATIONS
Pepto-Mangan Makes Rich, Red Blood
 Liquid or Tablets

The woman whose complexion is muddy and almost sallow has blood that is clogged with poisons. She awakens in the morning with a languld feeling. She seems to have no energy at all.
 Her blood is weak and thin and she needs to take Guides Pepto Mangan for while, as thousands of women do when they feel run down. It makes rich, red blood. Where blood was thin and weak it becomes rich and red. Then that woman who has had such a bad complexion and has found it So hard to do things, be- gins to look a lot rosier. She doesn't look so droopy and tired. In a little while the look on her face hrightens. her complexion clears up, and she feels happier.
 The druggist in your neighborhood sells Guides Pepto- Mangan. It has been recommended by doctors for years. There is the liquid and tablet form. Take your choice because the medicinal value is the same. The name. "Gude's Pepto- -Mangan." is on each package.-Adv.

FAR EAST SITUATION TO
 BE GIVEN FIRST FORMAL
 CONSIDERATION TODAY
tContinued from Page one)

which he indicated his governm snt would be most insistent, but later other meesbers of the British group elaborate,. the suggestions they are to put forward somewhat as follows:
 Submarine Tonnage
 First, reduction of the submarine tonnage the United States, Great Britain and Japan would be allowed to attain in the proposed limited fleets. The figures In Secretary Hughes proposals were 9o,0oo tons each in submarines for Great Britain and the United States, and 54,000 tons for Japan. 1t was indicated that Great Britain would urge cutting this powers and similar reduction for Japan. In addition, the British pro- pose to limit the size of submarine units in such fashion as to confine them to defensive operations and make them unusable overseas.
 "Second, that to protect fu-
 ture knowledge and skill in cap-
 itaI warship cOnstrution, each
 nation retain one capital ship
 building yard capable of produce
 ing one ship a year and scrap all
 other warship building facili-
 ties.
 Third, that allowance be made in the American replacement schedules of light craft such as light cruisers and gunboats, not of particular use in any naval offensive or defensive operations, for the adequate polic- ing of the seas by all naval powers.
 So far as could be learned tonight, the Japanese notifications to be urged will be In connection mainly with the fixing of Japan on the basis of 50 per cent of the>naval strengt tn of either of the two powers. A spokesman will later endeavor to show that some increase of tonnage should be afforded her. The sug gested increase will probably relate to all classes of ships, including sub marines.
 A strong impression prevails that the British proposals fop~ limitation of the size of the submarines will not prove acceptable to American naval officers. It is we'll known tha; American naval opinion regards the submarine as a potential war weapon of greatest value to the United StateA and not to be surrendered on any ar gument thus far presented.
 Americans Want Submarines
 In order to reach it's full efficiency American officers argue, the subma- . rine must be a seakeeping vessel of great size so as to be habitable for her crew. There were decided ex pressions against the British idea that by limiting size the submersibles could be tied down to defensive oper- ations in their own home waters. To agree to such a plan, 1t was said would be to sacrifice a weapon the United States has e-ery reason to re- tain.
 As to the suggestion in British circles that submarines are not ' proper weapon of naval warfare, thu American view Is that the use of sub marines in warfare is question aside that now being discussed It well may be. some officers say, that code of rules to govern submarine warafare preventing sinking with out warning and similar barbaric practices in which Germany engaged. may be adopted. Provision is maia on the agenda of the conference for that and for aircraft and gas warfare rules. it was pointed out.

Other Members of Big Five
 Accept in Principle and
 Spirit Hughes Proposal
(Continued from Page one)

AAEG OHCy for the British naval experts that as to submarines they believed that not more than 45ooo tons each in the aggregate in these crafts be allowed for Great Britain and the United States and a proportionate reduction of the allowances of the American programme should be applied to Japan. The British naval experts thought, it was said, that the 9o.09a tons allowance of the American plau was too large.
 In addition, it wns said, the
 British experts considered 1t es-
 sentiaI that limit be put on the size of individual submarines
 they said had been "adnirabIy"
 proposed by Secretary Hughes for
 battleshlps. The purpose, it wns
 said, was to cOnfine submarines
 to purely defensive work and e
 make them incapable of use
 overseas.
 If you stop building big battle ships, you should stop building sub . marines,".it was said
 It was asserted that big seagoing submarines especially effected Great ioA lloiil OR CA 9CAS PCoSOooAchSt u was emphasized also that Grea. Britain regarded the submarine "as a very undesirable form of naval vessel anyway, and contrary to the princi- pies of humane warfare, if there is such thing"

 were that there should be a
 single building yard or so. re-
 tained by each nation, capable of
 turning out one ship n year, in-
 stead of keeping up all the big
 warship building yards ready to
 start up at once at tkc end of ten
 years or any other time, if reIa-
 tions were strained.
 Adoption of the British modified. tion on this point would involve heavy reductions in warship build. ing facilities of Great Britain and thA United States, it was said, and pro, portionate reductions for other na. tions. The scheme would apply, 1t was added, only to warship construc- tion facilities and not to yards doin 3 commercial work.
 Limitation of comm mercial yards would be retrograde movement, 1t was said.
 Great Britain, 1t was further said, was anxious that any limitation a. to auxiliary craft leave a sufficient force for the policing of the seas, a task which the British were de- scribed as having taken largely upon themselves in years past. There must be means of protecting merchant chine l.. i.fo with all nayies doing their share of the work. There was no desire by the British, it was said, to maintain such vessels for Offensive or de fensive naval operations, but only for police work at sea.
 You need police, evidently, even in free America" it was said

and beyond numerical calculation. There is something which goes tu the root which is concerned with the highest international morality. This scheme after all-what does it do? 1t makes idealism practical propo- sition. 1t takes hold of the dream which reformers, poets. publicists, even potentates, as We heard the other day, have from time to time put before mankind as the goal to which human endeavor should inspire.
 "A narrative of all the attempts made, of all the schemes advanced for diminishing the sorrows Of war, Is a melancholy one. Some fragments were laid before you by our chair nan on Saturday. They were not ex- hilarating. They showed how easy it is to make professions and how diff ficult it is to carry those professions into effect.
 What makes this scheme a land mark combined with the profession Is the practice that in addition to the expression the> eloquent expression of good intentions in which the speeches of men of all nations have been rich, that way has been found in which, in the most striking fashion, in a manner which must touch the imagi- nation of everybody, which must come home to the dullest brain and the hardest heart. the government of the United States have shown their inten- tion not merely to say that peace IS a very good thing. that war Is horri- ble. but there is way by which wars can really be diminished, by which the burdens of peace, almost as intol- erable as the burdens of war, can really be frightened for the popula- tions of the world. And in doing that, in doing it in the manner in which they have done it, in striking the imagination not merely of the au- dience they were addressing, not merely the great to whom they be- longed, but of the whole civilized world, in doing that they have, be- lieve me, made the first and opening day of this congress one of the land marks in human civilization.
 "I have said all that l propose to say, but if you will allow me 1 will read telegram put into my hands just as l reached this meeting. this congress. from the British prime min ister:
 Following for MT. Balfour from MT. Lloyd George:
