STATUS OF MERCHANT SHIPS
IN WAR BEFORE CONFERENCE
Need of Regulations to Control Their Activities En-.
phasized in the Event of Any Reduction in Naval
Armament-Where America Is at Disadvantage.

TO control the use of merchant craft
in war.
A twenty-five knot liner is of tre-
mendous military advantage. Her speed
renders her immune from destruction,
save in an action with the very fastest
of modern naval types. Her great size
permits the mounting of fairly large
guns. the carrying of large compile
rnent and very large fuel supply. and
consequently large cruising radius.
In addition to these things she will
have extra cargo space. In time of war
such a vessel can live on the high seas.
A vessel is captured which is valuable
because she can be used as a raider.
The large liner carries extra guns to
mount on the captured vessel and men
for her complement. Then the captured
vessel Is sent to sea to prey on commerce
under the flag Of her captor. The liner
then captures tanker or a collier. The
fuel is taken aboard and the captured
vessel Is sunk.
Every nation in the world is alive to
the possibilities of such war and also
to the gerat economic loss which would
go with it. Merchant ships would have
to be manned Immediately by disciplined
crews. Cargo space would have to be
turned over to storage space for guns
and for magazines. Every year the
vessel would have to spend some time
at target practicec. 1t is certain that
such a condition is far from desirable
and unless steps are taken to meet it 1T
will present itself with any reduction II
the armed forces.
Then. again. the nation having the
greatest merchant marine would be un-
deniably the greatest naval Power. A
conference 10 regulate the extent Of
overseas trade would be thoroughly i'm
possible.
The United States would suffer seri-
ously in this respect. 1t has been i'm
possible to keep any number of the YES
sells of our merchant marine in COM
mission, due to the lack of trade and.
possibly. by the rate difficulties. Labor
is unquestionably higher in the United
States than elsewhere. 1t would be far
more desirable to keep warships in re-
serve for war purposes than to hold
idle merchant ships for the same pur-
pose, because the warship is far better
suited to the purpose of destruction.

KISS BRIDE OR GROOM?

ATLANTIC CITY. Nov. 9.-Mrs. Cecilia
Champion OF Somers Point, this county,
who was elected a Justice of the Peace

BERLIN, Nov. Q (Associated Press) -
Belief that the Washington conference
on the limitation of armaments and Far
Eastern problems will result in cancel
lation or postponement of payment of
the war debts owed to the United States
by the Entente nations is expressed by
DR.. Friedrich Rosen, formerly Foreign
Minister. in an article In the Deutsche
AHegen,ei eine Zeitun0. In this event, he
believes, the German reparations terms
will be revised.
Otherwise. he declares. he feels that
the Germans have nothing to nope from
the conference. as the manner in which
armament limitation has been applied To
Germany instead of being step toward
world peace has only laid the ground
work for future conflicts with her neigh
bors, who have been seeking by every

Merchant shipping will come in for a
good share Of consideration at the arma-
ment conference, due to the fact that 1t
can be used to great military ad-
vantage in war. In the naval councils
CT the last few days the work done by
merchant shipping in a military way in
the great war has been gone into with
the idea of presenting the possible role
Of merchant ships in the event a real
reduction Of armaments Is possible.
The work Of the German liner Koeni-
gen Luise as a mine layer and the work
of other passenger liners as cruisers and
commerce destroyers has not been for
gotten. or course. the more generally
assigned role to merchant ships in war
has been that of supplying fleets and
armies with men, food and munitions,
but 1t must not be forgotten that armed
merchant ships have been, and probably
Will be, used as actual destructive agen-
cies.
Entirely q new set of international
regulations are needed to establish the
status of merchant shipping in war. Ner-
been used to transport munitions and
men directly to combatants and in doing
so these. ships have actually played COM
batant roles. The legal aspect Of this
phase Is quite serious.
While the actual warship forces will,
no doubt, continue to be the backbone
of a nations sea power, in the event of
a general reduction the actual control
of the seattle control of the shipping
lanes in all parts of the world-will de-
volve itself on the merchant vessel.
Total disarmament is not believed
to be possible by naval authorities. The
causes of wars would have to be done
away with. but even then armed police
forces would be necessary to prevent
piracy and preclude small private wars
between competing merchants Gener-
ally speaking, however, there is a feel
ing that reduction of armaments on
some basis Is possible and 1t Is in this
event that regulations must be ascribed

END NAVY BUILDING
AT ONCE, THEIR CRY
Democratic Senators Argue for
Example to Nations at
Conference.
pccial Despatch to THE New York HERALD.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., Nov. 0. {
Democratic Senators, with the coop
Grafton of few Republicans. started a
new movement to-day for suspension Of
building on the American naval pro-
gramme as an example to other nations
taking part in the arms conference.
The question may preclpltate a sharp
parliamentary battle at the Capitol next
week unless the Administration decides
to take the initiative and order a sus-
pension oe building without Congress
sional action.
Senator Pomerene (Ohio), a Demo-
cratic member of the Foreign Relations
Committee, carried the naval building
suspension issue to the fore by going
to the White House and comforting with
President Harding.
The Ohio Senator is the author of a
resolution introduced in the Senate on
July Z, 1921, authorizing the President,
in his discretion, to delay for six months
all naval construction, pending the out
come of negotiations for armament re-
duction. The resolution was referred to
the Naval Affairs Committee, where it
has remained.
"NO Attempt to Embarrnss."
Senator Pomerene told the President
he had no desire to embarrass the Ad-
ministration on the eve of the arma-
ment conference, but said he thought
steps should be taken at once to order
all work stopped on the construction of
American naval vessels. He declined to
say what Mr.. Harding's attitude was,
but it is understood that the President
asked time to consider the question.
1t is expected that Mr.. Harding will
confer with Attorney General Daugherty
to ascertain his powers In the matter and
and also with Secretary Denby on the
advisability of such a step.
If President Harding takes no action,
however. within the next three or four
days. it IS Senator Pomerene's intention
to take the issue before the Senate and
force n showdown on his resolution by
making a motion to discharge the Naval
Affairs Committee from further consid-
Grafton of the measure.
Following his conference with Presi-
dent Harding Senator Pomerene con-
ferred with Senator Borah Of Idaho one
of the leading advocates of limitation OF
armament Senator Borah promised to
support Senator Pomerene In any move
TO put the resolution to a vote in the
Senate.
