In French circles 1t Is cateeorically
denied that the provisional naval
limitation agreement between France
and Great Britain contains any Sec
ret clauses. Both British and
French spokesman deny reports that
the agreement provides for associat-
ed French and British fleets.
Replies from the United States.
Italy and Japan are awaited before
France and Great Britain publish the
text of the agreement which is de-
scribed here as an effort to achieve
something possible and practicable
by continuing what is regarded the
underlying idea of the Washington
naval conference, the limitation of
powerful and offensive naval fight
ing machines
The British explain that the agree
ment was placed before the other
naval powers in the hope that il
would be accepted as a basis for dis
cussion by the league preparatory
disarmament commission. The date
OF the commissions next meeting de-
ponds on the result Of these nego-
1iations.
The essence Of the accord. in
French opinion, is that an attempt
should be made to reach an inter-
national agreement limiting con-
struction of large cruisers and large
submarines but that limitations of
smaller units should not be sought
for the present.
This suggs stion is regarded here as
difficult for the United States to ac-
cept, as the American government
has striven for an agreement limit
ing total tonnage of cruisers. allow
ing each power to build any type
CT cruiser desired within this total.
The United States has showed spet-
cial interest in possession of 1000
ton cruisers while Great Britain has
preferred smaller ones.
The tentative Franco British pact
would limit only cruisers of $500
tons and more and submarines over
600 tons.

RUSSIA REFUSES
To CUR7A|L arms
At Least Won't Agree to Control
| Of Manufacture

Geneva, Aug. % P-Russia has
refused to collaborate with present
efforts OF the league of nations to
obtain control of the manufacture
OF arms.
Maxim Litvinoff soviet vice CON-
missar for foreign affairs, in tele-
graphing this decision to Sir Eric
Drummond. secretary of the league
pointed out his governments con-
tention that the league has done
nothing toward solution of the
problem of real disarmament.
He insisted that urgent steps
should be taken to obtain definite re-
suits and avoid the risk of future
wars. An attempt to supervise the
production Of ornaments is calculat-
ed merely to mislead public opinion
by holding forth false hopes of real
disarmament. he asserted.
Meanwhile, the United States and
Canada are cooperating in an effort
to bring about the widest kind of
publicity concerning manufacture of
ornaments. Their representatives,
Ambassador Hugh Wilson for the
United States and DR.. w. A. Riddell
for Canada, voiced disapproval of a
draft project reported to the COM
mission which is trying to frame a
convention for the control and man.
ufacture of arms. on the ground that
it did not go far enough.
Riddell and Wilson favored giving
the same publicity to arms manu-
featured by governments as to arms
made in private factories.
DIR. Riddell contended that coun-
tries depending largely on private
manufacture should rot be expected
to furnish statistics If countries de-
pending on governmental manufact-
ure We're permitted to withould such
figures.
The draft provision with reserva-
tons will be sent to the league
council. which, with the league as
sembly, will be empowered to decide
whether. taking into account the
differences of opinion in regard to
the project, it would be wise to con.
woke an international conference for
its discussion.

they claimed was the success of the
demonstration In front Of the gates

Der we're arrested.
The women had demanded 4
chance to confer with the visiting
diplomats who We're here for the

petition for an equal rights clause
in the document.
1T was splendid battle and we
are proud of it," Doris Stevens, the
wife of Dudley Field Malone and
one of the principal leaders of the
demonstration, told the United
Press. She was one of the three
Americans arrested, the others be-
ing Mrs. Loring Pickering and Mrs
Betty Gram Swing.
What struck me forcibly," Miss
Stevens said. was the fact the
Frenchmen and women cheered us.
The men offered to testify how We
We're treated.
The French revolutionary spirit
was stirred up. Before We were
locked up in the police station we
stood on a woodpile at the door and
gave an interview and made
speeches which correspondents
translated.
LAS we were leaving, after our
prisonment, the local police COM
missary accompanied US to the sta
ton and made a little speech, ex-
planning to the people that the
trouble was of no account and that
French women did not want a vote.
'Stallwart peasant women, clat-
tering along in wooden shoes,
shouted back:
1--WE French women do want our
vote and we are going to get it,"
There were 10 women arrested
three Americans. three French
women, one English. one italian and
two German-after they had ap-
peared at the gates and Miss Ste
Nens had unfurled a banner which
read:
I'VE want a treaty of equal rights
for women"
They were denied admittance to
the palace but attempted to follow
the motor car Of Minister OF COM
merce Bokanowski into the grounds.
They we're carried from the
grounds.
After arriving at the police sta
ton five women we're released on
their word of honor that there
would be no more demonstrations.
Five others including Miss Stevens,
refused to make such a promise and
they were held until the ministerial
automobiles had started back to
Paris. Then the other five were es-
corted to the railroad station.
