(By The Associated Press.)

/ Washington, Dec. 20 iby the AS
sociated Press) the SUD-
marine controversy far from a
settlement, the arms negotiations
came to a halt over Christmas and
will not be resumed until Tuesday.
| Despite unfavorable elements in
| the attempt to fix proportionate
submarine tonnage for the five
powers, practically all delegates

sion, even of informal discussions.
Tomorrow also will be a day of
rest.
Question Is Difficult.

one plenipotentiary reflected dis
couragement over the outlook for an
early submarine agreement. The US
ual air of diplomatic confidence was
assumed by conference members but
it is known that some regard the
question of fixing ratios for auXil-
iary ships as even more difficult
than was the arrangement of sat-
isfactory proportionate strength in
capital ships.
Some delegates are talking pri-
vately of the possibility that the
conference may decide finally TO
let construction of submarines and
other auxiliaries so on as each
nation desires, without any limita-
ton agreement but with the under
standing that the subject will be
taken up at a later international

The suggestion is said to have
been an outgrowth of the realiza-
tion that the five great powers cam
not reach a practicable decision on
submarine questions without some
sort of acquiescence from smaller
nations.
Japan Standing Out.
Hope of q submarine agreement
now appears to hinge or the deci-
sion of Japan and France, Great
Britain and the United States hav-
ing come together on the American
proposal for 10000 tons each, and
Italy having indicated willingness
to accept any reasonable figure if
she has a strength equaling
France. Japan is standing out for
the $4,000 tons provided under the
original American plan instead of
the $1,000 she would have under
the compromise proposal, and the
French have not admitted their re-
quest for 10000 tons, although
they have referred to Paris the
compromise suggestion h a t
France and Italy each have 81
600 ton fleet of submersibles.
1t seems certain that If Japan is
to have $4,000 tons of the original
AMERICAN plan. the United States
and Great Britain also both will in
sist on keeping the 10000 tons pro-
vided for each.
Should France, on the other
hand, hold out for anything like
10000 some delegates do not be-
lieve it likely that either the Unit
ed States or Great Britain would
care to place any limitation on
their ability to build submarines.

Their selections proved admirable,
and the Morning Journal extends

The girl is charged with petty

to the court testimony which was
