AIRCRAFT CARRIERS
ANOTHER PROBLEM

Washington. Dec. 20.-(By A. P.)--
The status of aircraft carriers in
modern naval establishments may prove
difficult of determination for naval
limitation purpose. some American OH =
cials believe, as result of recent de-
velopments. The question was up today
before the Conference Naval Committee,
but 1t was not clear whether all tye
Powers were prepared to accept the
American view that utr~taft carriers
are purely an offensive weapon.
The American position Is based on
the argument that airplancs and sea
planes, so far as naval use is concerned,
are essentially defensive in character
aud limited to operation in home
waters, As soon as surface veSSe!
is provided, however, which can con
yev the alrships TO other waters and
from which they can take flight on al
offensive mission, and to which they
can return when their mission Is con
cluded, 1t is the American view that @
potential offensive character has beer
given the air fleets Of the nation pos
sessing such carriers.
In a general way, aircraft are now
limited to operations within 200 mileE
or SO of land. Fleets can make some
use of Nnaller types of scouting planes
70 locate hostile ships, but returning
TO battleship is not practical for any
thing but seaplane, and even then III
a smooth sea. ~ N
cers however, that airplanes accom-.
panying a feet on airplane carriers
can be made Of distinct use in defens'
against submarines, either for thu
fiShting fleet itself or in protection o.
trade routes from submarine raiders.
In view Of the decision of Franc,
to nlan for tripling her submarine flee
and the British reply that Great Brit
| oin In that case could accept no linn
itation on auxiliary agencies to dea
with submarines, it appeared possible
tbat the question Of limiting airplan
carrier tonnage or of fixing the max
;mum size of such ships at 27,OOO tons
~ the American delegation proposed
would prove troublesome.
The American 2',oOo- 'hgur
maximum for carriers was surpris
tm some naval quarters. 1t is know
thof some naval officials have hope
IL ;'" ronld be possible to convert two o
H. bnttle cruisers which are TO b

Washington, Dec. 29.--The text OF
proposals presented by Elihu Root to
the Arms Conference yesterday to hu-
mamie the submarine warfare follows:
I. The signatory Powers, desiring to
make more effective the rules adopted
By civilized nations for the protection
Of the lives of neutrals and non COM
batants at sea in time Of war, declare
that among those rules the following
are to be deemed an established part
of international law:
Firat A merchant vessel must be
ordered to stop for visit and search to
determine its character before it can be
captured.
A merchant vessel must not be at
| tacked unless it refuses to stop for visit
and search after warning.
A merchant vessel must not be de-
stroyed unless the crew and passengers
have been first placed in safety.
Second. Belligerent submarines are
not. under any circumstances, exempt
| from the universal rules above stated !;
and If a submarine cannot capture a
merchant vessel In conformity with
these rules, the existing law Of nations
requires IL to desist from attack and
| from capture and to permit the mer-
chant vessel to proceed unmolested.
The signatory Powers invite the ad-
berence Of all other civilized Powers to
the foregoing statement of establ shed
law. to the end that there may be a
clear public understanding throughout
the world Of the standards Of conduct
by which the public opinion Of the
world Is to pass judgment upon future
belligerents.
II. The signatory Powers recognize
the practical impossibility of using sub
marines as commerce destroyers without
violating the requirements universally
accepted by civilized nations for the
protection OF the lives of neutrals and
non -corhbatants, and to the end that
the prohibition of such use shall be uni
versally accepted as a part Of the law
of nations, they declare their assent
to such prohibition and invite all other
nations to adhere thereto.
III. The signatory Powers, desiring
to insure the enforcement Of the hu-
name rules declared by them with re-
spect to the prohibition Of the use of
submarines in warfare, further declare
that any person in the service OF any
OF the Powers adopting these rules who
shall violate any of the rules thus
adopted, whether or not such person Is
under orders of governmental supe-
rior, shall be deemed to have violated
the laws of war, and shall be liable to
trial and punishment as II for an act
of piracy and may be brought to trial
before the civil or military authorities
Of any such Powers within the jurisdic.

CURB ON SUBMARINES
NEW NAVAL ISSUE

Washington. Dec. 29.-(By A. y
fhe Arms Conference today entered
Ppon negotiations for imposing limita-
ions on other classes of war craft aside
rom capital ships.
The immediate proposal before the
Naval Committee when it resumed its
kesslon was plan of the American
government to limit the tonnage of air.
plane carriers to be maintained in the
uture navies Of the Powers.
1t is on this proposition, and on pro-
Posals to restrict the use of submarines
md the size of individual warships of
ne auxiliary classes, that the Amer
can delegation now pins its hope of
empifying the capital ship agreement
iready reached, but to which France
sterday attached a reservation as to
eplacements.
Much attention centered about the
proposals Of Elihu Root for limiting
u6marine operations, although it was
Pidlcated that no agreement on that fea :
pre- was in sight. The delegations all have
indicated that they desire further in =
tructions from their Governemnts on
ne point, especially in view of Mr..
toot's suggestion that use of under
Nater craft against merchant vessels be
rohibited entirely and that subma
ine commanders who violate humane
ules OF warfare be liable to trial as
IT was privately conceded in all quar-
rs that negotiations on the remain
" issues Of the Conference had no,
zen made easier by yesterdays pointed
ncoanges In the committee session
nich heard Frances final refusal IL
v aside her submarine program.
British and French Clash
Lhe open declarations Of Arthur J.

uiplomatic history, and az bringing
the surface of the Conference at lasi
ue embarrassments that have com,
Icated relations between London an(
arls ever since the armistice.

an hour with The Chief E,ec,,,,ve Tho
trend Of their discussions was not re-
vealed, but there were indications that
Mr.. Harding was seeking some means
of at least bringing the Powers together
at later conference, when present
strains on international relations may
have been removed.
Some Of the delegates are taking the
position, on the other hand. that NO
such meeting would be practicable until
there appeared unmistakable evidence
of a change Of view among the dis
