MONROE GAS AREA
 LARGEST IN WORLD
By Associated Press

Monroe, La., December 11.-Exten- sion of the proven area of the Mon roe gas field by approximately SS square miles Is announsced by the Louisiana department of conserva- tion. This field was recently pro- nounced by the United States bureau of mines to be the largest known nat ural gas district In the world.
 Extension increases the size of the Monroe gas belt from PIP square miles when the last survey was made by engineers of the bureau of mines to 250 square miles. The federal engineers in their report expressed the opinion that the field would be widened through operations. Actual tests through drilling wells proved their opinion.
 Extensions were done by interests representing H. D. Waldburg, New York, and H. C., Morris of Dallas, Tex. These interests drilled 10 wells In the northeastern section of tho field. Out of this number six were brought in as gassers and four were dry holes. The new gassers increased the number of producing wells In the district from 66 to Fl. The six new wells show an open flow capacity ranging from 100000 cupic feet to 30.00000 cubic feet per day each.

may go. If that agreement iH reached, there will be no Likelihood of war, and readily the nations will agree to dismantle their navies ac- eording to the American proposal. Progress has been made towards set ting the China problem, but 1t Is still in most delicate state.
 As to an association or league of nations, it Is not regarded as prob able that any result will obtain. The American delegation has not dis cussed that matter with the Presi- dent; and the American delegation has not made suggestions or ad- Nances to the other nations. The suggestion which Japan and England have made that the United States and France join them in an agree ment not to go to war until a certain time has elapsed after the initiation ot/a quarrel, may be accepted, it is indicated today. The Senate, it is said, does not look askance at the scheme whereas were a league or an association of nations proposed, the Senate would immediately pre- pare to defeat it. The proposition of England and Japan is simply the suggested extension to the Pacific of the w. ]. Bryan treaties made when the Nebraskan was Secretary Of State. It would provide simply for a period for Cooling off" The Bryan treaties were not effective when the nations of Europe decided to go to war in 1914. That England and Japan have proposed this super ficial alliance is based on the desire of England and Japan to continue their private pact, or the fear of the two that in abrogating that pact. delicate situations might arise.
 At one time there was talk to the effect that the President had sug- eested an association of nations. That talk was without reason. It resulted from a conference between the President and the Washington correspondents.
 One of the correspondents spoke to the President of the apparent ease with which the Washington confer euce was settling international dis putes. The President said something immateral but relevent The same correspondent declared, in an off hand manner, that it would be re- gretful were conference so effec- tive in settling disputes to disband permanently. The President replied that he would be chagrined were there never to be another confer ence of the nations.
 The correspondent the following morning declared that the President had suggested an association of na- tons. The President did not make denial. He probably thought that it would be unbecoming to him to do or certainty undignined in a Presi- dent seriously to regard every news paper publication.
 But he did suggest a denial. He startled the world by declaring that in future conferences correspondents must ask their questions in writing.
