ENVOYS MORE AT EASE Japanese Now and Then Reflect Glow of Good Feeling That Is U . Acted Everywhere. ' BT CHARLES C. HART. THE OREGO.XIAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington, D. C, Nov. 15. Uproari ous laughter and applause which greeted Sir Arthur Balfour's good natured reference to the unexpected manner in which Secretary of State Hughes shot Uncle Sam's arms limi tation proposal at the delegates as sembled at the first session of the arms parley last Saturday was typical of everything that happened In to day's session. When Mr. Balfour, speaking of the Hughes' surprise, said: "The secret was admirably kept," laughter came from every quarter,, from delegates and audience. It was the first laugh since the gavel fell on the opening day. "It was led up to with such art, the transition seemed so natural that when the blow fell " Mr. Baifour said as the first Iaugh:er died away, and then his voice was drowned. His hearers expressed their amusement with a greater uproar than before, adding applause which lasted for one full minute. Everyone seemed" to Join except the French delegates, who are not to be blamed because they did not understand what Mr. Balfour was saying.' Wells la Seen Applauding. H. O. Wells, novelist and historian, Va hero found applauding for the first time since the conference began and after trying it, he seemed to like it, for he applauded many times aft erward, indicating that Prime Minis- tcr Briand of the French mission is his prime favorite. Mr. Wells ap plauds by beatina- the back of hs fat right har.a in the palm of his fat left nana. The foreign delegataes were much more at ease today, even the Japanese now and then reflecting a glow of the good reeling which had taken pos session of the entire conference. The mention of David Lloyd George's name by Mr. Balfour when he read the British premier's cablegram was the signal for one great outburst of approval. J'remier Briand made the real ora torical effort of the day. As he warmed to his subject It was easy to see how he attained his high posi tion in the public esteem of his coun try. He looks quite the most earnest man of the whole conference. In fact he is a rather pathetic figure. He seemed to typify bleeding France, etill suffering from the wounds In flicted by the merciless German war machine. Ilrland Seems Ponnlnr. He makes you Jeel that he Is the bereaved paren fSf all who died at Verdirn and on the scores of other battlefields between Paris and the Rhine. There is no doubt that he enjoys an advantage over every other delegate present because both spectators and delegates to the man appear to be strong for him. No body cared what he aid today. It Was only that he said it. . When he reached his perorations every one forgot that he was speak ing in Franch and cheered him whether they understood one word of his language or not. He has not been seen smiling since the conference opened, and when he begins to tell his conferees that France Insists on maintaining a large standing army only because of bitter recollection of what happened In July, 1914, and the danger of another such Invasion, the best guest is that the audience wiU believe him even If some of the mis sions of the other nat'ons show skepticism. ' Kllhu Root Takes Notes. Briand today was seated around the corner from his position of last Saturday, being on the right of Sen ator Underwood of the American del egation. His earlier seat was occu pied by his colleague, M. Viviani. Kllhu Root was the one man at the table to take notes while the French prime minister was talking. Mr. Root unquestionably was impressed by this foreign stateman's deep ear nestness. - Admiral Kato, speaking for the Japanese, talked !n the language of his race and no one pretended to know what he was sating . He is not given to the ore of oratory .but the young Japanese interpreter who gave the speech to the conference in Rood Knglish left nothing to be de sired in gestures. Senator Schanzcr, head of ths Ital ian mission, is a mar of fe.w words. He spoke briefly but well. His one gesture consisted of a constant up and down movement of his righ hand with his arm held close to his side. William Jennings Bryan continued today the sunbeam o the gathering. His face was radiant when he entered the hall and it continued to beam to the last. He cheared every mention of the Hughes proposal. He was first to cheer when Mr. Hughes arose to address the conference ind he was the last to cheer when Mr. Hughes sat down. Those who have been following Mr. Bryan through political conventions for more than 20 years say that they have never before seen him manifest such enthusiasm. He is the bubbling young man of ' the gathering looking as If he hud found the fountain of youth for whom a certain well-l:nown Spaniard searched in vain a few hun dred years ago. Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth to day was in the identicc' seat in the liancony Mrs. Harding occupied last Saturday. From the rmile which flashed over her countenance at in tervals it was evident tnat in the lan guage of her father, the whole pro ceeding to her mind was "bully." f Lingerie Iicads to Arrests.

Idaho, who is the western member of the sub committee on naval appropria tions of the house appropria tions committee, declared today that the Hughes programme of naval arms limitation, if carried into effect, means an annual saving to- the .United States of 250, 000.000. Mr. French' said: "First-r-It . would .mean a naval holiday for ten years. "Second It would mean aban donment of construction In the United States of ships having total tonnage og 618.000. "Third The scrapping of old battleships with' tonnage of 227.740. "Fourth The reduction of expense annually in the shipbuilding programme of ap proximately J100,000,000. VFIfth The reduction la annual cost of upkeep of the navy, in addition to the above item, of approximately 1150, 0 00. 000. "Sixth The reduction of men In the naval service in ships and navy-yards to approximately one-third of those in the service today. "This programme would bring the United States back approx imately to conditions prior to the world war. "The total saving annually in dollars would be approximately one-quarter of a billion dollars. "This item is approximately twice as much as the federal government has expended on national reclamation since the reclamation law was passed. The interest alone, at 3 per cent on one year's expenditure, would be approximately $7,500,000, or enough to maintain at least ten universities of the capacity of those in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. The annual saving In one year is six times the entire cost of maintaining the department of agriculture."

Third That allowance be made In the American replacement schedules of light craft, such as light cruisers and gunboats, not of particular use in any naval offensive or defensive op erations, for the adequate policing of the seas. So ir as could be learned tonight, Japanese modifications to be urged will concern mainly the fixing of Japan on the basis of 60 per cent of the naval strength of either other power. Her spokesman, it was learned, will later endeavor to show that some increase of tonnage should be offered her. The suggested increase will probably relate to all classes of ships, including submarines. Diver Inane Held Separate. A strong impression prevails that the Brjtish proposals for limitation of the size of the submarine will not prove acceptable to American naval officers. It is well known that Amer ican naval, opinion regards-the sub marine as a potential war weapon of greatest value to the United States, and not to be surrendered on any ,ar gumcnt thus far presented. To reach its full efficiency, Ameri can officers argue, the submarine must be a seakeeping vessel of great size so a.i'to be habitable for her crew. There were decided expressions against the British idea that by limit ing size the submersibles could be tied down to defensive operations in home waters. To agree to- such a plan. It was said, would be to sacri fice a weapon the United States has every reason to retain. As to the suggestion In British cir cles that submarines are not a proper weapon of naval warfare, the Amer ican view is that the use of subma rines in warfare is a question aside from that now being discussed. Baron Kato Makea Statement. When the reading of the interpreta tion of Mr. Balfour's speech into French, during which Premier Eiiand took some notes, was. concWided, Baron Kato, head of the Japanese delegation, arose to make his statement. Baron Kato spoke in Japanese and kept all around the big table guess ing what he was saying. During the delivery of his opening sentences, however, it became known that he was bespeaking Japan's, ac ceptance of the American proposals in principle, as has Mr. Balfour be fore him. A free translation of Admiral Ka to' s remarks was in substance as follows: "With your permission, I wish to present my views on this great ques tion. I must speak frankly. Japan appreciates the sincerity of the pur- poseof the American government for imitation of arms. She is satisfied it will relieve nations of vast expendi tures and cannot but make for the peace of the world. "Japan has no desire for a fleet equal to the United States or Great Britain. Japan is ready to- proceed to a sweeping reduction In naval arm ament, but wants to propose a few modifications in the American plan." Audience Applauds Baron. When he said "Japan is ready to proceed with a determination for sweeping reduction in naval arma ment." the audience rose and ap plauded. "The nations must be provided with such arms as are required for their security," the Japanese spokesman continued. "This requirement must be fully weighed. With consideration of this requirement, a few modifications to the proposals from the United States will be proposed for replacement of the various classes of ships. This must be given special consideration by the naval experts, and when such modifications are prepared, I believe that the American and other dele gates will consider them with the same consideration that our delegates will give to theirs." Baron Kato declared the American plan would relieve the nations of great expenditures and "cannot fai! to make for the peace of the world." Hngrhea Thanks Delegates. Secretary Hughes thanked the representatives of the powers for their cordial expressions and de clared the time had come to proceed with consideration of details of the proposed agreement. The question could now be studied, Mr. Hughes said, with the assurance that there will come out of this conference an appropriate agreement to the end that there shall be no more offensive naval w-a" Mr. H'ighe raid If It was not th desire to continue discussion, it would be in order to adjourn, adding that Premier Briand would be expected to present his views fully later on the subject of land armament. Premier Briand then suggested that the time for the next plenary session be left to Chairman Hughes, who could determine how far the committee work was advanced. Sec retary Hughes replied that he would advise delegates of the work of the committees and asked that the com mittee on armaments meet today after he could consult with the dele gation heads. Code of Rale Held Likely. It well may be, some officers said that a code of rules to govern sub marine warfare, preventing "Binking without warning" and similar bar baric practices in which Germany en gaged, may be adopted. Provision is made on the agenda for that and for aircraft and gas warfare rules. In any case the pros and cons of the American proposal are to be threshed out by sailormen of high degree. On the naval committee to which was referred the problem will sit ranking naval advisers of the five powers. Admiral Beatty for Great Britain, Vice-Admiral de Bon for France. Vice-Admiral Acton for Italy, Vice-Admiral Kato for Japan and Theodore Roosevelt, assistant secre tary of the navy for the United States. At the suggestion of Mr. Bal four, Mr. Roosevelt will act as chair man. The naval committee was selected by the representatives of the five big powers, meeting aftr the plenary session as a committee on limitation of armament. - After a session of little more than an hour, the conference after hearing addresses of general acceptance by A J. Balfour for the British; Baron Admiral Kato for Japan; Senator Schanzer for Italy, and Premier Briand for France, adjourned to meet again on the call of Secretary Hughes and the new committee on naval armament went into secret session. The result of the latter meeting was a decision to refer the matter of naval limitation to a commitee of admirals, to be presided over by Theodore Roosevelt, assistant secre tary of the navy, which will make an expert report on the American pro posals and also make recommenda tions for amendments of detail. Official Communique Insued. The committee was authorized to consider fixing the naval strengths of Italy and France at the same time with the United States, Great Britain and Japan. This official communication was the only report of the proceedings of the closed session: "The first meeting of the commit tee on limitation of armament was held at 4 P. M. "There were present delegates of the United States, the British em pire, France, Italy and Japan, with a secretary for each delegation and the secretary-general of the confer ence, who was chosen secretary of the committee. Sub-Committee Is Formed. "A sub-committee composed of one technical naval adviser for each , of the five powers was constituted to take under immediate advisement questions raised by the proposal of the United States for a limitation of naval armaments, and to report to the committee from time to time the progress of their deliberations. The sub-committee is composed of Colonel Roosevelt, Admiral Beatty, Vice-Admiral de Bon. Vice-Admiral Acton and Vice-Admiral Kato. with full power of substitution .for each adviser. At the suggestion of Mr. Balfour it was agreed that Colonel Roosevelt should act as chairman of this sub-committee. "The committee adjourned to meet at the call of the chairman." Tomorrow the committee of nine will have its first meeting to dis cuss far eastern and Pacific problems. Before hearing the statements of the delegations, the conference adopt ed unanimously the committee of the whole plan worked out by the big five. Report la Adopted. Speaking for Italy. Senator Schan zer told the conference the American plan had the general approval of bis government. Premier- Briand, speaking for France, declared the general adher ence of the French government to the purposes of the American plan. M. Briand declared complete ap proval of what Mr. Balfour had said. He praised Secretary Hughes also for having provided the conference with the way to agreement. The French, said M. Briand, were ready to "Join wholeheartedly" in whatever plan would reach the objects desired. hrmhFrancer cmfwyppp pp cmfwypp ROTARIANS HEAR MR. BABB Lecturer Speaks on Religion of Be ing Trne Sport.
