HUNT SUBMARINE
WITH LEGAL GUNS
ARMS FARLEY STARTS MOVE TO
REVISE WAR RULES.
FOR WORLD.
FIVE. BIG POWERS AGREEMENT
Experts to Study New Agencies Of
Warfare" and Report-U. S. To
Name Date-Clear Up Shan
tung Stumbling Block.

WASHINGTON.-The groundwork
for another international conference
to rewrite the laws of war for the
submarine and other agencies of at
tack on land and sea was completed
Friday by the arms delegates.
Under a resolution adopted by the
armament committee preparations
for the new conference will begin
Immediately upon conclusion of the
Washington negotiations. The United
States, Great Britain, Japan, France
and Italy will be represented and the
American government will select the
exact time and place of meeting.
Will Use Law Experts.
The first step toward revision of
warfare regulations is to be taken by
a Commission" presumably CON-
posed of international law experts
without plenipotentiary powers, but
the resolution provides hat after
they have agreed the five govern
ments shall confer as to the accept
ance of the report and the course to
be followed to secure the considera-
ton of it's recommendations by the
other civilized powers"
1t is taken for granted that ques-
tions of national policy as well as le-
gal considerations will enter into the
final decisions reached and that the
whole problem of the submarine will
be reopened when the powers gather
once more about the council table.
In leaving determination of new
rules of warfare to a later conference,
the armament committee carried out
the recommendations of a subcommit-
tee of experts who spent several
weeks considering the subject. The
resolution as adopted was drafted by
another subcommittee headed by
Elihu Root Of the American delega-
ton and is as follows:
Resolution for a commission of
~jurists include, the United States of
America, the British empire, France,
Italy and Japan"

Lack of Caribou Said to Have
Driven Indians Above Ath-

Edmonston. Alta, Dec 31.--A lone
policeman of the Royal Canadian
mounted police, accompanied by an In
dian guide aud two dog team drivers.
Saturday set out from Fort Fitzgerald
for the barren lands north Of Lake
Athabasca to investigate reports that
the caribou-eating tribes of Indians
there were suffering from lack of food
and had resorted to cannibalism.
If evidence of cannibalism is found,
the policeman was instructed to bring
back his prisoners. 1t is tradition
among members of the force that they
always "get their man."
Reports last summer said the In
dians had missed the annual migration
of caribou herds and were starving in
consequence. 1t was impossible to
reach the hunger stricken country dur
i-g the open season, but now that the
trails are frozen and passable. the trip
will be made. The party will carry

As to Converting Mercha 1tman
1t was indicated that When the ques-
ton of regulations for converting mer-
chantmen is taken up, the American
naval group will have definite ideas
ready on the subject as the basis for
q conference plan to deal with this
problem.
Admiral Baron Kato, at the last full
committee meeting. pointed out that
this question still remained to be set
tied and that, as it was not adequately
dealt with. the tentative agreement to
limit the size of guns on light cruisers
would be meaningless. Chairman Hughes
assured him the matter was to be
given full. separate consideration, the
work of the experts committee paving
the way for that discussion by the full
committee.
To meet the difficulties of arranging
replacement of capital ship rules with
fairness to all powers. the American
group is understood to have worked out
a replacement chart covering the pro-
cess of replacement for every retained
ship of each power.

How Britain Has Modified Us
There has been deep significance
in Great Britain's recent effort to
put her house completely in order.
She has been endeavoring to meet the
United States with clean hands"
At the first prospect of an under
standing with America, she has been
eager to give up the Anglo Japanese
alliance which she knew to be worry
ing the Washington government and
standing in the way of better relations.
onscious of public sentiment in the
United States, Great Britain has gone
far to effect an Irish settlement after
more than seven centuries of strife
and oppression.
Little or no attempt has been made
to disguise the ultimate purpose of
these moves.
Wants Restored Germany, Russia
Great Britain feels that she can
find support in the United States for
her plans to open anew the markets
of the world and to restore the. trad
ing power of Germany. Great Britain
looks to the United States for sup
port in discouraging the huge stand
ing armies of Europe, some of them
maintained by infant nations. hope
lessly poverty stricken but proud of
their new-found "self determination"
IN none Of these things will France
co operate with Great Britain.
There is to be another meeting of
the allied supreme council during the
coming week at Cannes, France. But
Europe is foredooming this conference
to failure. IT would seem that the
differences between France and Eng
land arc so fundamental as to be ir-
reconcilable.
Harvey VIII Sit at Cannes
The Cannes conference, however. is
significant in one important respect.
Ambassador George Harvey is to rep
resent the United States. 1t is the
first allied council meeting he has at
tended since the United States ratified
the treaty Of peace with Germany-a
treaty which embraces many clauses of
the Versailles pact, among them the
rights of America to participate in the
reparations agreement between the
allies and Germany.
Attending an allied council meeting
in Paris last summer Ambassador
Harvey insisted upon adhering strictly
to the role of observer. lie sat in
stony silence while the representa-
tiyes of the allies struggled TO reach
an understanding. VIII he assume,
or will he be clothed with greater
authority in the coming session be-
cause of the definite adoption by his
country of some Of the provisions of
the treaty of Versailles?
Anger and DeIirium Prevail
The European situation, already
tense, will be rendered worse by the
failure of the Cannes conference
France, England, Belgium and Italy
are all at ioggerhcads.
Germany is floating in delirium
of paper money, her printing presses
turning out billions Of paper marks
each week, while the government de-
clares it cannot raise one billion
marks in gold to pay to France.

the situation. Then another fateful
