MoVe to Abolish

Arms.
CKNHVA, July I. (Al') The
time for abolishing submarines as
engines of naval warfare apparent
ly has not yet arrived, for the naval
experts of the tripartite, naval con
ference failed today to follow the
American suggestion, made on the
opening day of the conference that
the 1'ulted Slates would be willing
to consider abolishing the Mlhma
I'ine if such action were made uni
versal. It Is understood, however, that
the experts agreed today upon five
Inch guns as the largest euunon
fur submarines.
The Uritlsh delegates proposed
creating two categories of yah ma
rines, one with a maximum size of
tPMI tons and the oilier with a maxi
mum of 1U0 tons, with an age lim
it of lu years. The Americans are
reported lo favor a higher maxi
mum: that of 1600 tons on account,
of the paucity of American naval
bases. It also is said that the Jap
anese suggested making the age
limit for submarines Li years.
