FANTASTIC ISSUES
| UP IN ARMS PARLEY
Nature of Soil, Quarries, and
Reefs, Added to Pigs as
War Factors.
By the Associated Press.

BY 1ne ASSOCIutcu IiCoS'
GENEVA, June 1.-The pourparlers
in the preliminary disarmament con-
ference have reached the realm Of the
wild and fantistic. Holland last
night held the center of the stage
in her listing of factors on which the
power Of a country in war time de-
pends-factors which in Dutch opinion
constitute armament.
For, like France, Holland believes
that armaments are the sum total OF
resources at the disposal of state
for conducting war. In addition to
such things as pigs, fogs and winds.
the Holland experts deem armaments.
positive or negative, the nature OF
the soil and whether the soil be
marshy, sandy, wooded. undulating,
soft, hard, damp or dry. AS for the
subsoil, they want to know whether
uuarries have good or bad influence
on underground warfare. and In ad-
dition to pigs they place under agri-
cultural war factors horses, cattle,
sheep and goats.
It is when they come down specif'
ically to naval ornaments that the
Dutch get in fogs and wind, believing
the meteorological condition Is an
important factor in connection with
sea power. They also give impor-
tance to the nature of coastal waters.
especially their depths and currents
and desire to know whether they con.
tain sand banks or reefs.
Can you reduce the limit of a pig
and should you blow up a reef? are
some of the questions which are be-
ing asked in Geneva in sarcastic COM
ment on the Dutch suggestions.
The Americans at the conference
do not seem to be losing patience, but
they are beginning to look worried
lest the disarmament conference
should degenerate into geological or
meteorological survey and stick
there.

CLEVELAND. June 1.-The impor-

a fetish that should be abandoned.
She related that mothers of today
have their hair bobbed, use rouge and

These and other reasons, such as
golf. bootlegging and the family fliv-

the King requested him to remain in
Office to carry on routine business un-
til a decision is reached as to whether
Zagloul Pasha, the nationalist leader,
or ABLY Yegen Pasha is to be called in
to form a ministry.
Supporters of Zagloul are sanguine.
They express the opinion that Eng
land now has definite opportunity to
settle the Egyptian problem once for
all. They say that Lord Lloyd. the
new British high commissioner in
Egypt, must respect the popular vote
in the last elections. in which Tag
louis partisans carried the majority
of the seats, and that the British au-
thorities must call Zagloul to power to
head the victorious coalition.
Warning is given by the followers
of Zagloul that should the British au-
thorities again resort to dissolution Of
Parliament the result would be "seri-
Gus trouble and possible rioting."
Zagloul had long conference with

Lord Lloyd Sunday, and is reported
to have asserted that he is eager to
arrive at a definite durable accord
with Great Britain.
ABLY Yegen. the other statesman
who has been mentioned as possible
premier, is Constitutional Liberal of
rather Independent tendency. The
total number of Liberals and Inde-
pendents returned to the chamber in
the last election is only 80. while the
Zagloul coalition controls 16O votes.
