TO ARMS MEET
IN CONFERENCE
Formula For Limitation of
Naval Armament Believ-
ed Arrived At.

Washington, Nov. THE Ameri

and Far Eastern questions were again
in session today in Secretary Hughes
office. Senator Lodge was detained at
the capitol by senate consideration OF
the tax bill, but was expected to join
his fellow delegates later in the day
May Have Argument.
There is reason to believe that the
delegation has arrived at the formula
for limitation of naval armamentS
which it will present to the conference
as the American suggestion. Absence
of the navy experts from today'S seS-
sion. with only five days intervening
before the international body assem-,
bles. tended to strengthen this view. Ii
may be stated authoritatvely that no
advance outline Of the American atti-
tude and suggestions as to ways and
means Of Limitation Of naval arma-
ments will be given. formally or in
formally. to other delegates prior to
the assc milling of the international
conference. The view was expressed
today that such a preliminary inter
change of views would lead to what
amounted to a preliminary conference
and that there was no necessity Tor
The coming conference. it was add
ed. cannot arrive at anything but
unanimous conclusions. End that fact

View. any preliminary interchange OF

Wednesday there will be held the

ton and to furnish a ready way to
bringing to the knowledge of the
American delegates in the views OF
the American public or any or all
of the matters to be discussed. 1t is
assumed that a working agreement as
to methods of procedure through
which the aid of these advisers will

Third. the restriction Of sea arma-

desires to raise the question of the

NJ. BRAND goes into the conference,
however. with his customary philoso-
phic attitude of not holding too close

M. BRAND suggested the second day

groups, military, financial. naval and

tables allotted to them in the dining
room. but should move, about ex-
changing seats and tables and obtain

model for his associates.
