CALL ON GERlMANYTO

To BE WORKED OUT
BY the Experts and Delegations At
tending Armament Con-
ference.

Washington, d. c., Jan. II (By tn
Associated Press Delegation head
Of the five powers continued to-day
their discussion Of the naval limitation
treaty to clear up remaining details
Of phraseology while the full nava
committee of the conference was called
to meet later in the day to go over
the completed sections of the pact
Agreement was reached by the dele.
cation heads yesterday on all articles
of the treaty draft except for details
of the Pacific fortifcations agreement,
upon which tentative settlement was
reached, subject to approval by the
Japanese government. This was await
ed today while they went to work
on the several annexes attached to the
treaty and also the final drafting Of
several of its articles.
The question arising under the forti-
fications article, which provides for
settlement on a status quo basis, was
understood to relate to the status Of
certain small islands lying south Of the
principal Japanese group and what
other islands should be included in the
area within which no further fortif-
cations can be erected. The Japanese
delegates were confident, however. that
Toxic would approve promptly the de-
limitation tentatively agreed to by
them in the American draft of the ar
ticle.
Another question still awaiting final
decision to-day was whether the sub
marine and poison gas resolution
adopted by the five powers would be
in the naval treaty or made
the subject of a separate agreement.
On this growing inclination was un-
Icrstood to have beeh revealed at the
meeting Of the big FIVE" to adopt the
after course on the ground that the
covering those questions
lid not properly belong in the same in
1trument with the provisions for ton
rage limitation.
Meanwhile the Shantung negotia
ions held out new promise of an agree
ncnt in the decision of the Japanese
ind Chinese delegates to resume their
eparate conversations.
