ON POISON GAS
ITALY ASSENTS
Other Nations Expected to.
Agree to Chemical War
fare Proposal Today
ROOT RULE ADOPTED
japan and China Unable to Agree on
Shantung and Negotiations Are
Broken Off.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Prohibition
of the use of poison gas in warfare
was proposed to the Arms Conference
today by the American delegation
through Secretary Hughes. The pro-
posal was made on the recommends
ton of the American advisory Com
mittee and the Navy General Board.
1t was Immediately assented to by
Italy, after which the Naval Commit
tee adjourned to take up the question
again tomorrow when the American
delegates believe it will be adopted.
Previously the committee had adopt
ed the Root rule declaring submarine
attacks on merchant vessels acts Oh
piracy.
The Shantung conference between
the japanese and Chinese broke up,
neither side being willing to make any
concession acceptable to the other.
Each side did make final offer as
to terms of payment for the railway
which was promptly rejected by the
other, and the twentieth meeting ad-
journed.
President Harding let it be known
that none Of the three treaties Will be
submitted to the Senate until the Con-
ference has adjourned and the foreign
delegates have departed.
Washington, Jan. 6.-Following
unanimous adoption of the Root rule
providing that illegal attacks upon
merchant ships by submarines or other
warships shall be punished as piracy.
The Conference committee on Limi-
tatien- Of. Armament. began eonsldera-
tion today of proposal by the Amer
lean delegation that the use of poison
gas in warfare be absolutely pro-
hibited.
Secretary Hughes made the pro-
posal, in the face of report by sub
committee which declared limitation
of chemical warfare impracticable. He
based the American proposal on
recommendations of the American ad-
visory committee and of the general
board of the navy that gas warfare
be outlawed.
That the Conference will outlaw gas
warfare, as proposed by Mr.. Hughes,
is the expectation of the American
delegation, for the prohibition con-
firms that imposed by Great Britain,
France, Italy and Japan upon Ger
many, Austria and Hungary in the
peace treaties. The resolution, draft
ed by Mr. Root follows:
The use in war of asphyxiating,
poisonous or analogous liquids or ma
terials or devices having been justly
condemned by the general opinion of
the civilized world and prohibition
of such US having been declared in
treaties to which a majority of the
civilized powers are parties.
Now to the end that this prohibi-
tion shall be universally accepted as
part of international law, binding
alike the conscience and practice of
nations, the signatory powers declare
their assent to such prohibition, agree
to be bound thereby between them
selves and invite other civilized ma
tions to adhere thereto.
After Senator Schanzer had ex
pressed the assent of Italy to the pro-
posal the committee adjourned to re-
sumo consideration of the question to-
morrow. That it would be agreed to
was the general opinion of delegates
tonight.
