ment, which is opposed to the gov
ernment at Chita. and that the Japa-
nese army, which 'is remaining abso-
lutely neutral" had nothing to do
with 1t.
The japanese spokesman said they
had received no report of the seizure
Of Tsitsiker, and added that it was
improbable that Japanese troops had
anything to do with it. as there were
no Japanese forces in the direction of
TSitSiker.
Further Attacks Charged.
The Chita delegation. which has ap-
piled to the conference on limitation
Of armament for the right to be heard

road for some time.
The statement contained alleged
secret messages sent by the japanese

general star at Vladivostok. which

said, caused the Japanese to fail in

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The final draft of the report OF the
arms conference subcommittee on air,
craft was complete yesterday. ana
submitted for consideration oy .ne
conference. While its contents nave
not been disclosed. the protracted dls-
cussions in the subcommittee are
known to have brought out the 1eel-
ing among representatives, OF al NY
powers that no impediment snoulo pe
put in the way OF commerclai oese,-
opment Of an air force in: each coun-
try quickly convertible to war ma
chimes at need.
Eject ON War Causes.
II has been contended, on the con-
trary. by some experts, that in FOSTER
ing development of new and swift
means of communication ana trans
portation the governments represen.
ed at the Washington conferences
would be taking a very direSt h,et,iss s'e2 ~
wars in the future. Scholars are
said to be agreed that uneven DIS
trihution of natural resources among
various nations has been the UNDER
living cause of most past wars AN
other war-promoting factor II mas
been held, has been misunderstand-
ines between peoples due to lack. Oh
.deouate communication facilities
between countries.
In the probable future development
of air navigation may lie cure for
these fundamental and hitherto un-
avoidable seeds Of war. II mas as, Ieen ,ien
most experts expect to see wider &C.
cess to natural resources Of the world ,orI
made possible and consequent less
ening in the struggle for actual phys.
ical control of those resources. They
also anticipate gradual development
of quick and easy communication
through air between widely separate
peoples and a resultant better under.
standing between such peoples and
less chance of misapprehension which
might lead to war.
Would Encourage Development.
Some of the officials who particle
pated in the aircraft subcommittee
deliberations are known to have hello
these views as to the desirabtlity OF
pressing forward aircraft develop
ment as rapidly as possible. not for
war. but for peace motives. and there
is reason to believe that the sub
committee report will show q ref1ec-
rion of this view when it Is made
public.

the drafting committee, but the con-
clusion was that submarines must
take that risk. regardless Of their
great vulnerability TO gunfire. AS
Mr.. Root pointed out before the full
committee, 1t is said, the Germans
held that because submarines could
not operate under cruiser warfare
rules except with extreme danger to
themselves, they could not be re-
quired to conform to those rules. Mr..
Root said the purpose Of Ms resolu-
ton was to express the direct mega
ton" Of that German contention, and
the five powers agreed in principle to
tn t purpose.
To naval experts the formal publi-
cation Of the agreement OF the five
chief naval powers as to what they
understand the laws OF warfare in
this connection to be, and the positive
assertion that those laws apply to all
types Of warcraft. will mean the prac-
tical abolishment of submarine oper-
ations against merchant craft. even
without adoption Of the second Root
proposal to declare such abolishment
as a new precept of international law.
They do not believe submarines would
be employed to overhaul merchant
men in view of the risks involved.

This plan Of partition was worked
out by the American and Japanese
delegates. and was not laid before the
representatives Of the other powers
of them appeared. to look upon it
with favor, France indicating definite
acceptance and Great Britain and
Italy showing approval, but desiring
to make further study of some
questions Of detail. The Netherlands
delegation also asked for delay Of
final action to permit 1t to commune
cate with its home government
1t was explained last night that. in
the American view, the rearrange-
ments are considered entirely fair
to the Netherlands, since her ma
tionals owned about one-third Of the
stock in the corporation which owned
the three cables, while under the new
treaty she would receive full title to
one of the three lines. Provision was
made that the value Of the entire
German holdings would be checked
off against the German reparations
bill as soon as the cables pass to
their new owners.

whole submarine system the new
treaty also guarantees through

arrangement for connecting with

NAVAL DETAILS

b. the Associs ted Press.
Naval experts Of the five powers
made progress yesterday in what was
described as the work of "mopping
up" technical details of the naval
limitation agreement They went
over a great deal of ground. touch
ing on capital ship replacement plans.
methods Of scrapped ships to be de-
stroyed, regulations to govern con-
version of merchant liners for war
use and the like. several agreements
on minor points being reached.
The experts will get back to work
tomorrow afternoon despite the hoii-
day. Their session yesterday was
said to have been highly encouraging
that an early agreement would be
reached on all of the technical mat
tiers referred to them by the full
naval committee to be shaped for in
clusion in the naval limitation treaty.
All expert committee members were
said to have shown a desire to CO.
operate in reaching quick decisions.
and no opposition on any point taken
up yesterday developed.
Ideas on Merchantmen Ready.
1t was indicated that when the
question of regulations for convert
ing merchantmen is taken up the
American naval group would have
definite ideas ready on the subject az
the basis for a conference plan to deal
with this problem. Admiral Baron
Kato at the last full committee meet
ing pointed out that this question
still remained to be settled, and that
il it was not adequately dealt with
the tentative agreement to limit the
size and guns of light cruisers would
be meaningless. Chairman Hughes
assured him the matter was to be
given full. separate consideration, the
work of the experts committee paw
ing the way for that discussion by
the full committee.
To meet the difficulties Of arrang-
ing replacement Of capital ship rules
with fairness to all powers, the
American group is understood to have
worked out already replacement
chart covering the process of re-
placement for every retained ship OF
each power. To what extent 1t may
have been found advisable to depar,
from the fat rule of the Original
American limitation proposals that
capital craft should become obsolete
and subject to replacement twenty
years from date Of their completion
and that replacement keels for such
ships could be laid seventeen year.
after the completion date, allowing
three years for construction, has not
been indicated. Presumably, however

of eQualizing naval strength in types
of ships and under the ratio of rela.
| tive strength agreed upon.
