BREAKERS AHEADTOKIO ADVICES ON FOR IRISH LEADERPACT ARE AWAITED DUELER FIRES AT GROUND IN BUENOS AIRES BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 11.—The popular fancy has been taptivated by the details of a ducl which has been fought here by Dr, Rodolfo Moreno and Senator Fernando fa- guler. Dr. Moreno is an eminent Con- servative politician nnd candidate for the governorship of the .province of Buenos Aires, while Senator Sa- guier is a no less prominent Rad'cal politician. The dispute arose over the phraseology of a radical election poster. When Dr. Moréno criticized it, Senator Saguier, who was in no way responsible for it, felt it in- cumbent upon him to do battle for ite author, with the result that Dr. Moreno demanded satisfaction. They met with pistols in a suburb of Buenos Aires, attended by several distinguished men, including the former mayor of tho elty and a Chile- an diplomat. Both fired at the signal but neith- er was wounded. Dr. Moreno’s sec- onds noted that Senator Sagufer had uy nd and then Abad” De., Moreno” should ana tremist efforts on this score and if!

Treaty Is Approved With Exceptions In the Pacific WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.— (By The Associated Press.) — While they waited word from Tokio on the final draft of the Pacific fortifications provi- sions, the naval “big five” of the arms conference went ahead to- day with the discussions of other fea- tures of the five-power naval Mmita- tion treaty. Aside from the fortifications articles and various annexes to the treaty the five delegation chiefs were in virtual agreement on all portions of the treaty text. Before the five came together, each of the delegations had met sep- arately to review the few points re- maining at issue. During the day the Shantung nego- tiations also were renewed by the Jap- anese and Chinese groups, with an un- derstanding that the deadlocked ques- tion of the Tsing Tao-Tsinan Fu rail- road should be held tn abeyance while an effort was made to reach decisions on other controversial elements. The delay developing over reference of the fortifications article of theo naval treaty to Tokio, led to a general veljef that no plenary session of the conference would be possible before next week. In the fortifications article the chief difficulty {s-upderstood to have arisen over a prectse definition of the geo- graphical area to be embraced in the Pacific fortifications “status quo.” The big unanswered question ts whether a string of Japanese islands extending 800 miles to the southward of the main Japanese archipelago are to be included in the territory where further fortifications 1s prohibited. Though little public attention has’ been drawn to the matter of the ex- tent of fortifications to be permitted to Pacific islands, the general board of the American navy attaches a great deal of importance to it. Forti- fleations of the ctring of islands south- ward from the Japanese mainland would control the approaches by ves- sels to the whole north coast of China, and would ° constitute an effective military barrier. ‘The question is whether the term “Pacific region: applies to the islands of this character which are in the main archipelago-as in the case of Japan or the Aleutian islands, which form an extension of the Alas- (Continued on Page Four.) i SEGRETARY OF 6.0,P.DIESAT OT.
