Anns Conference
Completed by U.S.
Limitation of Land Arnia
mfnt Practically IgnoreJ
By American Drlrgatra
Up to Present Time.
' Br ARTHUR SEARS HENNINO.
Washington, Nov. J. The Inter
national conference on the limitation
of armamr nti ii getting under wsy.
Almost every train brings more
members o( delegations and t( their
lUffs of political and technical sU
vier and the einbaitici and ipeciat
headquarters of the foreign contin.
genta are humming with the prepara
tion of views on the lettlement of
Pacific and far eattern quritions and
on the reduction of armaments to be
submitted to the conference.
The American delegation, presided
over by Mr. Hughes, spent the fore
noon in further discuiion with Sec
retary of the Navy Denby, Asitant
Secretary Rooacvelt, Admiral Coonlt
and Captain Trait of the various
plans for a naval holiday worked out
by the Navy department.
Outline Completed.
It was learned that the American
delegates have completed a pretty
definite oultine of the armament re
duction proposals to be submitted to
the conference. The American sug
gestion is understood to aim at a
joint agreement which would operato
to curtail naval construction without
changing the relative strength of
Great Britain, the United States and
Japan.
Details of the plan are withheld
for diplomatic reasons and will be
presented to the representatives of
all the powers at the same time.
The American delegation has given
practically no consideration, up to
date, to concrete plana for the limi
tation of lai.d -rmament. Inasmuch
as the United States already has re
duced its army to the basis required
for police purposes on4y, this is a
question of less concern to America.
There is a prevalent opinion that an
agreement on limitation of land
armament is unlikely to be evolvd
by the conference.
To Assemble November 12.
The conference will assemble for
the first time at 10:30 a. m. Satui
day, November 12, in the hall of the
Daighters of the American Revolu
tion. It will be called to order by
Secretary Hughes and will be wel
comed by President Harding in an
address which will strike the key
note of the American attitude toward
world peace and reduction of arma
ments. Organization of the body
prcbably will be deferred till Mon
day, when "Mr. Hughes will be elect
ed president of the conference and
the heads of other delegations vie
presidents. '. :
The report that Premier Lloyd
George would not be able to attend,
the opening of the conference on
limitation of armaments was disap
pointing but not depressing news to
this government, as the State de
partment was aware developments in
British affairs might postpone the
prime, minister's visit to Washington.
It is confidently expected . that
Lloyd George will come to Washing
ton Jater, possibly the end of Novem
ber, ,if the; work of the conference
gets well under way by that time, or
after "the Christmas holidays if diffi
culties permit, 1 and if difficulties
should bring the conference to a
-deadlock some diplomatic commen
tators believe that the British prime
minister will appear on the scene at
the right " moment to . throw the
weight of Ws personal prestige and
tkill as a mediator to effect an agree
ment. .
Deaths by Motor Cars
Increase During 1920
Washington, . Nov. ? . 3. Deaths
from accidents caused by automo-
KM.. mA Ml... mntr v.h.Vla.
eluding motorcycles, increased de
cidedly in 1920, as compared ' with
1919, the census bureau' announced
j-esterday. Death due to motor veh
icles last year ave'raged.within the
death registration area of the United
States, ' 10.4 per. .cent per 100,000
population, as compared with 9.4 per
cent in 1919.
Approximately 9,000 persons were
killed last year by motor vehicles in
the death : registration area, which
comprises 82 per cent of the popula
tion of the United States. The bu
reau's figures, . however, show that
the' automobile is not nearly so dan
gerous as in its early days. In 1915
there were two deaths to every 1,000
motor vehicles, while last" year the
ratio was 1.2 per cent.'
The death rate from motor e
hicle accidents last year was high
est in California, amounting to 21.1
per cent per 100,000. population. .

China Defaults
On $5,500,000 Loan
By Chicago Firm
State Department Calls Atten
tion to Serious Effect Ce
May Have Upon
Credit
Washington, Nov. 3. The State
department, it was disclosed yester
day, recently called attention of the
Chinese government to the possibil
ity of serious effect upon its credit
which might follow default of ths
$5,500,000 loan made to it by the
Continental Trust and Savings com
pany of Chicago.' Announcement
that the lean, due Tuesday, was in
default, was communicated to the
department yesterday, but whether
any official action had been taken in
the matter could not be learned. It
is known that the case of the Chica
go bank is regarded here as furnish
ing one of the strongest arguments
in favor of the consortium plan for
financing China. The Chinese gov
ernment, prior to default on the Chi
cago loan, defaulted also on several
loans advanced by Japanese institu
tions during the world war and so
far as known .here the Japanese gov
ernment has taken no action to sat
isfy claims of the Japanese creditors
of China. - The general financial
demoralization of the debtor coun
try, it is assumed, will be discussed
in the Washington conference
when the Chinese problems are pre
sented for discussion.
The consortium plan had for its
primary objects, the discouragement
of loans such as that made by the
Chicago bank, the elimination of In
ternational competition in the
Chinese loan field and an assurance
to China, by means of loan condi
tions agreed upon by the consortium
with approval of .their respective
governments, , the safer and better
conservation of China's resources."
Negotiations had been under way

full of 'difficulties and if taken up
first, negotiations might be delayed.
