MAY ACQUIRE NO wARsHlPs

Washington. = The conference of
Central American republics-the min
iatu.e Washington Arms Conference
came to an end here with the signing,
in open pIenary session. of one treaty,
IL conventions and three protocols af-
fecting the relations of the United
States with Central America and those
of the Central American republics
among themselves.
with Secretary of State Hughes as
chairman, the conference has con
cluded a treaty Of peace and amity, a
convention for the establishment of a
Central American arbitration tribunal,
convention for the limitation of
armaments, and numerous other
agreements expected to prove Of
marked benefit to all concerned.
Under the terms of the agreement
for the limitation of armaments. the
various Central American countries
bind themselves to limit their stand
ing armies and national guard as fol
lows:
Guatemala, 5000: Salvador, 1900;
Honduras, $500: Nicaragua, $500, and
Costa Rica, 1000. This. limitation is
to continue in force for five years.
The contracting powers further agree
not to export or permit the exporta-
ton of arms or munitions or any other
kind of military stores from one Cen
trail American republic to another; To
limit the number Of aifcraft which
can be used in time of war to 10, and
agree to acquire ne warships Final
ly. the contracting powers agree to
furnish one another, semi-annually
during the life of the convention. full
reports on the measures adopted by
each government for the execution OF
the convention.
The general agreement Of amity ap-
proved by the conference incorporates
those provisions of the treaty of peace
of 1907 which have been found to be
of practical value in furthering the
maintenance of friendly relations be
tween the Central American states.
1t contains, likewise. certain addt
tional provisions which the confer
ence believes will be of value in the
promotion of those aims.
Another important accomplishment
of the conference is It's agreement for
the establishment of an international
Central American tribunal, to which
shall be submitted all controversies
arising between the Central American
republics. which it has been found
impossible to settle through diplo'
matte channels or by other pacific
means, provided that such contro-
versies do not affect the sovereign
and independent existence Of the ma
tions concerned,
Under the terms of a separate proto
col the United States Government has
the right to name Is of its citizens
to be available for service on the
tribunals which may be created in
accordance with the terms of this
agreement.

part of 1t through one OF its rivers.
The impression was given by those
whb discussed the subject that a de-
cision might be far in the future. 1t
was explained that many broad con
siderations of international policy
were involved, and that should the
plan for a second canal connecting
the Atlantic and Pacific eventually
bear fruit important readjustments Of
the Central American questions might
be necessary.
Disclosure that the President hopes
a second canal can be built followed
report made at the Cabinet meet
ing by Secretary Weeks that Panama
Canal receipts for January amounted
to $1,500,00O, new record. Ii was
declared by one spokesman to be
"the ultimate dream of this Admin
istration to continue operating the
canal successfully and use the profits
for construction of new waterway"

rescue crew. led by W. D. Brennan,
general manager of the mine, entered.
The imprisoned miners are believed
to be about 5000 feet from the mouth

The explosion did not wreck the
mine fan, and ventilation soon was
established
The cause of the explosion is a
mystery A statement by the com
pany declared the mine was we'll
sprinkled and was not gaseous.
While company workers, who volun-
teered for rescue duty were continuing
their efforts. the United States Bureau
of Mines started a rescue car here
from Hanna, Wyoming, and second

Iron Company, was on the way from
Trinidad.
Almost before the reverberation
