lions today of throwing the Armament

dilemma more serious than any that has
been encountered
The French request has not been laid
officially beore the conference, but Ad-
miral De Bon, the French naval adviser,
has given fair warning that this figure
is what France considers necessary to
her national safety and that she viii be
extremely loath to accept anything less.
The French program in detail has been
received from Paris and may be laid
before the powers today, for, undeterred

Out of the yards of debate that have

naval treaty.
3. Possibly adopt new regulations gov
erning the manner in which submarines
are to approach ships.
The French demands admittedly form
the chief obstacle to be overcome. Hav-

the plain warning that a similar cOnces-
sion could not be made in the matter Of
auxiliary ships. the French are pre-
pared to press their demands to the ut

Against this ambitious French program,
the British are prepared to fight with
