i. s. SERVES NOTICE
NO TRIBUNAL. CAN
FIX ITS ARMAMENT
Holds Execution of Any Pact
Must Depend on Good
Faith of Countries.

GENEVA. July 2-The United
States today gave notice to the mill
tary committe of the preparatory dis
armament commission that /. would
never agree to placing supervision of
its armaments in the hands Of any
international body.
The United States also made plain
that it could not place the carrying
out Of any program of limItat on Of
armaments in the hands of an inter-
national body. Brig. Gen. Dennis l..
Nolan told the military committee that
the United States felt that execution
of any international agreement for the
limitation of armaments must depend
upon international good faith and re
spect for treaties.
I'VE could not accept supervision
of any outside body or inspection by
foreign agencies o" individuals" the
American delegate said.
The general military committee
later adopted the reports of the sub
committees on land and air arma
mentS.
Report Arouses Discussion.
\ minority report on the question
Of naval limitation, supported by the
United States. Great Britain. Argen-
tina and Chile, today was presented
at q plenary session.
The report Immediately created dis
CusSi0n, which was checked by preSi-
dent Buero on the ground that it was
best to treat the military, naval and
air reports separately. Thereupon
the committee considered the report
. al, Ia fro
final form his report makes some
concession TO the United States
contention that Importance should be
attached to trained reserves and ma
terial in comparing land armament.
The controversy over the naval
problem centers about the question
of whether navies should be compared
by total tonnage or by the tonnage of
various classes of ships.
Fear Concentration OH One Type.
The four countries who offered the
minority report believe that any COM
parson of naval strength. which fails
to take into account the tonnage by
classes of ships. would permit one
country to become dangerous to an
other by constructing a larger num-
Der of war vessels of one toype only.
This position is made clear in the
ma jority report of the naval drafting
committee. In order TO emphasize OBJ
iections to the French and Italian
thesis that only total tonnage should
be used as a basis of comparison, it
was decided to file a minority report
also.
The European powers which OPP
pose setting a standard by classes of
ships, insist that such system would

types of ships which might not be
adapted to It's security or its economic
capacity.
1t is exepected that the fight on this
issue will he carried to the full dis
armament commission and perhaps
even TO the disarmament conference
itself.

Elegance i'm Fashions.

From, the New York World.
The movement to restore elegance
to feminine fashions, just inaugurated
at a luncheon in Paris. is doomed. we
fear, to failure. 1t is no accident that
fa shions are no longer elegant. by
which the dressmakers mean ella bo-
rate, requiring plenty Of cloth and pro-
v1ding work for many seamstresses.
Since the day when women went
about in corsets, with plumes on their
hats and dresses that reached to their
feet, much water indeed has run I'M
der the mill. Such dresses required
leisure and Discrimination for activity.
The modern woman Is determined
above all else to do something. Such
dresses required a taste for formality,
for travelling in stately coaches, for
stately dancing of stately Quadrilles.
Democracy has put an end to such
things.
The grand ma inner has given way
to easy informality. Men no longer
wear their open-faced soup.t O. fish:
dinners are no longer conducted with
the rigorous etiquette that once was
thought obligatory. There has been
breaking down of strict rules at
every point. Even q formal ball has
become so rare that few people know
what to do when they attend one.
The result OF all these insidious
changes is that elegant attire Is not
only in the way but 1t actually has
no place TO display itself. Suppose
woman lays in one of the wardrobes
which Paris is preparing for her
Where Is she going to wear it? Sure
iy she cannot come walking down
Fifth avenue looking like a character
ont of Chambers novel AD 1914
Tea, as it is served now, is no place
for such robes of state, and neither
ia dinner. nor the theater, nor the
night club. About all she can do is
don her fnery and parade up and
down in front of her own mirror.
Few women care to spend money to
glitter unseen. The movement is
thus without sound psychological
basis. And what is the purpose of 1t?
Simply commercial. so far as We can
see.
