BERLIN GOVERNMENT TAKES Is.
SUE WITH eRiAN-'s CHARGES
At CONFERENCE.
ASSERTION DISPUTED
sTATEMEhT THAT RElcHwEHR
10 NUCLEUS FOR ARMY DE-
cLAREo INCORRECT.

Berlin.-In- 4 statement to the AssO-
ciated Press, the German government
takes issue with the charges Of Pro
mier BRAND of France In his address
before the Washington conference
that the German police forces and
rsichSwehr constituted 4 nucleus for 4
future German army.
It declares N. Brands assertion
that the reichswehr IL composed cx-
clusivsly Of officers and noncommia-
stoned officers Of the old army IL in
correct. and says that the bulk Of the
reichswehf Is made up Of youths be-
tween the ages Of 10 and 81, recruited
since the war.
The statement says that the "protec-
tion police" were created at the bid
ding Of the entente. and adds:
THE reichswehr Is wholly unafffli-
ated with the Schultz Polixei, which
took the place of the security police
when the entente ordered the latter's
dissolution.
1.-THE Schultz POllxei IL primarily an
agency to maintain law aud order. It
takes orders solely from the civilian
ministries Of the federated states. It's
numerical strength and Its composition
with reference to the ratio Of officers
and men are designated and super.
vised by the entente control commit
tee.
1.-THE number Of rifles and small
arms 1t is permitted to have In speci.
fled. 1t does not possess heavy cali.
bered arms. The elnwohnerwehr, or
civilian guards referred to by n. Bri-
and, have been dissolved, and their
arms have been surrendered and de-
stroyed."
The statement disputes N. Brands
assertion that Germany still possessed
numerous arsenals equipped to turn
out war materials, and asserts these
plants are limited to two or three re-
quired to keep the German army sup
piled and that their output IL super
vised by the entente control commits
sion.
The governments statement refers
the French premier to the address
from the throne In which King George
OF England declared satisfactory pro.
gress had been made by Germany in
execution Of her financial and disarm-
ament obligations.
Newspaper comment generally char.
acterizes n. Brands speech as "flat
falsehOod." but most of the journals
express fear that America may believe
what he said. The opinion generally
expressed was that his attitude was
likely to undermine and nullffy The
whole effort toward disarmament.

washington.-A joint declaration of
policy toward China, based on terri
torial and administrative integrity,
economic opportunity, an enforced
'open door" and abolition Of special
rights" has been agreed on by ma
lions represented In the arms confer
ence.
out Of the conference, the declaration
touches in general terms most Of the
principles for which China asked In
her bill Of rights." but does not pro-
vide In detail for the settlement of
the specific problems with which she
IL confronted.
Elihu Root OF the American delega-
ton, proposed the declaratory resolu-
ton. During the two hours OF debate
both Japan and China asked many
questions as to possible application OF
the suggested principles to specific
problems, while all other nations took
less active part.
perfect satisfaction" with the res
olution was expressed by Admiral ka-
to, head Of the Japanese delegation,
although he declined to suggest what
changes the agreement might lead to
In the Far East. The Chinese also de-
clarsd themselves gratified ut the de-
velopment, and the delegations Of the
other nations generally voiced the view
that the agreement was q good start
toward agreement on the most import
ant Of the Far Eastern problems.
The two features of the declaration
attracting widest attention were the
clause approving Administrative In
tegrity" for ChAa and that under
which the powers agreed not to seek
special rights" within China.
Previous declarations Of policy re-
Earding Chinese integrity have

their signatures. the Chinese refrain

not well pass on an agreement which
set forth the policy of foreign govern
ments toward her.

delegates. the agreement 10 to be ap-
piled only TO the future and 10 not
likely to be used as 4 vehicle for
bringing before the conference past

to discuss.
