ASUNCION, Paraguay, November
II R.-Bolivia's Pilcomayo army col
lapsed today and seven Bolivian forts
fell into Paraguay's hands.
Wild, unrestrained rejoicing swept
this capital as the news spread that
Fort Ballivian, the stout outpost
against which five successive waves of
Paraguayan soldiers had beaten only
to fall back in bloody failure, had
been taken.
Many here were ready to predict
that the two-and-one-half years Of
bitter fighting for possession of the
low, swampy Chaco Boreal was nearly
at an end.
With the shattered remnants Of the
Bolivian forces in the Pilcomayo sec

only road left open to them-that fol-
lowing the banks of the river-reports
reaching Asuncion said Paraguay had
taken 10000 prisoners in the smash
ing victory, considered the biggest
of the war.
Among the prisoners, those reports
said. were so high ranking officers
ana 500 officers of lesser grade.
The forts that fell with Ballivian
included Guachalla, farther up the
river, which earlier reports indicated
might provide the retreating Bolivians

NAVAL PACT HOPES REICH GUARANTEE
OF BRITAIN SOAR URGEDFQRAUSTR|A
Agreement Seen in Japan's
Hint of ProIonging Con-
ference.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 17-In the
face of Japan's rejection Of their COM
promise plan for naval limitation,
British participants in tri-power naval
conversations here tonight were more
hopeful for ultimate agreement than
at any time since the negotiations
began.
The japanese delegates, Ambassador
Tsuneo Matsudaira and Admiral
Isoroku Yamamoto will deliver Tokio's
formal reply to the British compromise
next week, informing the British that
Japan stands as pat as ever on her
demand for equality on the high seas.
At the same time. 1t was learned,
the japanese will request further con-
versations as to the possibility OF
meeting Japan's desire for full equality
the conversations, Britain and the
United States.
Actual Equality Handicap.
Britain's plan, put forward to end
the deadlock, involved recognition of
Japans right to equality in principle,
whereas the Japanese want actual
tonnage equality, although they would
agree not to build up to equality for a
certain number of years.
Britain's conferees. headed by Prime
Minister Ramsay Macdonald, regard
the request for further discussions as
inHiPQfinn n roarh
agreement.
The delegates from the Oriental
empire, holding to their original thesis
that the 5-5-3 ration for naval arm
aments imposed by the Washington
treaty must be abolished see in the
British attitude the possibility that
both British and Americans may yield
to her demand for equality.
United States in Dilemma.
The Americans, however, continue
their opposition even to the principle
of equality, which was first made
known two weeks ago.
A dilemma, however, admittedly
faces the Americans. 1t appeared the
United States might be forced to
desert the conferences, seek postpone
ment of them or accept any COM
promise satisfactory to the other two
powers.
The British, it was stated, also op-
pose full equality for Japan. but it
was regarded possible that the British
might give in if the Americans did,
and if the Japanese modified their
demands somewhat.
The United States delegates, Nor
man H. Davis and Admiral William H.
Standley, today we're luncheon guests
of Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald.

Serious Cattle Disease.
Anaplasmosis is a serious cattle
disease, widespread in the United
States, to which it was brought from
the tropics. 1t is infectious and some
times causes loss of as much as 40

CHACOPEACE TALK .
URGEDBYLEAGUE.
ParIey Summons Depends
on Paraguay's and 3D.
Iivia's Acceptances.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, November ia peace
conference at Buenos Aires to end the
bitter conflict in the Chaco Boreal
was recommended today by the League
of Nations Chaco Consultative Com
mittee as a eliminating effort to re-
establish peace in South America.
The League was authorized to sum-
mon such a conference once Para
quay and Bolivia have accepted the
report of the committee, and when
hostihties have ceased in the theater
of war.
Officials said the United States and
Brazil will be invited to participate.
The Latin American nations also
would be included.
Urged Direct Settlement.
The committee recommended that
the projected conference arrange q
direct settlement between the beliger-
ents, or, if this fails, resort to spe-
cial arbitral procedure, presumably in
a world court.
Cessation of hostilities would be
accompanied by creation of demili-
tarized neutral zone probably 100 Kill
ometers wide, according to the COM
mites recommendation. This would
be placed under an international COM
mission.
The text of the report will be pub
lished tomorrow at 3 pm. The League
will wireless the essential parts of
the text on short-wave lengths. The
transmission will be in Spanish on
a wave length of 32.10 meters and in
English at 38.47 meters with an in
terval Of IS minutes between the two.
The report will be presented to the
special assembly of the League, meet
ing November 20, purposely to con-
slider the Chaco War.
Another Assembly Possible.
If Paraguay and Bolivia reject the
recommendations it was believed the
League would be obliged to convoke
another special assembly to deal with
the situation.
The arms embargo was one Of the
most delicate questions facing the
League moderators. Bolivia protested
the embargo as being move of the
League of Nations and called it a
penalty which under the League
covenant could not be placed upon
a belligerent until it had been proved
the belligerent was the aggressor and
responsible nation.
The League, however, claimed the
embargo was an independent move of
the powers acting under their SOW
ereign rights.
