Definition OF "Warship' Gives Rise to
Question Of Armed Merchantmen
Much Discussion Is Expected
~NF- As Result.

. Washington AS the arms conference
prepares to begin discussion Of the
final draft of the five-power naval
treaty some of the delegates are max
ing a particular study of the armored
merchant vessels as it may relate to
the limitation agreement. ~
In no quarter is there apparent a
disposition to raise am issue which
might endanger the treaty at this
point in the negotiations. but among
the foreign delegations- It Is predict
ed privately that the armed snip pr6f,s
lem will be one of the most difficult
of the collateral questions to arise
when the final draft is gone. over sec
tion by, section for approval
The Italians, Japanese and French
are said to feel that n merchantmen
are to be permitted to arm as in past
wars, the effect mightgbe not only
to vitiate the project to limit individ-
ual auxiliary warships to 10000 tons
each, but it might also result in a
great disadvantage to the nations
which have small merchant fleets
Beyond saying that the status of q
merchant ship in future lis to be the
status we'll understood in information
u law, the American and British dele
gates are not willing to discuss the
subject. Itis the view in some quar-
ters;, however, that the. British may
themselves. bring the point up for dis
7 enssion before the treaty finally is
approved. - ss,7 -
A plenary session OF the conference

will follow before the end of the week,

full attention to final attack on the
unsettled questions of the far east
Meantime the Shantung controversy
remains In deadlock, but hope OF an
agreement during the week was ex-
pressed in American quarters here.
The mediation of Secretary Hughes
and Arthur j.. Ralfpur is looked upon
by the Americans and British as ar
most certain to bring the two groups
together. although this optimism fs
not shared by all Of. the Chinese and
II 1t is evident that the long-discussed
/ Shantung problem has been brought
( 10 a delicate stage. where either. q
settlements an agreement to dis;
sagree will be. announced within a few
days. Both the Japanese and Chinese
are showing signs OF lack of patience;
and unless the mediation effort Is a
success the subject issexpected to be
dropped, So far. as the Washington
