Clarence n. Fenner of the Geophysi-
cal laboratory, declaring that If this
relationship could be solved. science
would have made great progress in
determining the cause of volcanoes.
The phenomenon. he said is ex-
hibited sometimes by volcanoes 90
miles apart. He gave as an example
the sudden rising out of the sea Of
an island along the Alaskan Peninsula
and Immediately afterwards the erup-
ton Of volcano several miles away.
This theory is that in the depths OF

nected by lava beds.

said this theory is based on study of
the Boring Sea where tidal pressure

that the Boring Sea abounds in more
volcanoes than any other section Of

REDUCTION @ OF
WARSTRENGTH
NOT PRACTICAL
Commission Decides That
Only Peace-time Arma-
mentS Can BE Limited

y Geneva. May 19.-(P)-Only peace
time ornaments can be limited by
any conference of nations. This pro-
visional was reached at todays ses-
sion Of the preparatory disarmament
commission, which decided that it
was impracticable to think Of rcduc-
ing the ultimate war strength of
countries.
In ratifying this conclusion, how
ever. the commission agreed to Il
significant reservation by NJ. Paul
Boncour Of France. 1t was to the
effect that. when the subcommittee
frames the exact formula, it must
recognize that estimated reductions
in peace-time armaments should take
into account the military, economic
and geographical factors upon which
the wartime power depends and al
SO the rapidity with which assistance
could be afforded to Il state if at
tackled.
The commission decided to appoint
n drafting committee, which will re-
cast and clarity the agenda and en-
dcavor to separate technical military
questions from political problems.
The committee includes NJ. Paul Bon
cour Of France. Hugh Gibson Of the
United States, Lord Cecil Of Great
Britain, General Marinis Of Italy, NJ
Matsuda of Japan, Count Won Bern
storff Of Germany, Senor Perez of
Argentina, NJ. DeBrouckerc of Bel
gium and NJ. Sokal Of Poland.

badly 10 days, with 70 representatives
of the railroads, state commissions
and shippers listed to give their
views.
Although six different proceedings

tor of the Chicago Burlington and
Quincy, two Of a committee Of nine,
were selected to open the arguments
for the western roads OH their appli-
cation for general increase Of five
per cent in freight rates, which they
claim is needed to bring fair re-
turn on their investments.
Charles E. Hughes, representing re-
ceivers of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St. Paul also was ready to speak
today or tomorrow morning. 1t has
been indicated that he would center
his attention on the Potter plan pro-
viding for a pooling Of all revenues
derived from a general increase in
rates for apportionment among the
carriers earning less than 81. pei
