The pro- posals submitted by Maxim Litvinoff, assistant commissar of Foreign Af- fairs, urged complete disarmament. The chief points of the program put forward by the delegation of the Soviet Union follows: 1. Immediate universal disarma- ment by land and sea, beginning next year. 2. An international convention pledging the signatory nations to destroy all war materials and reduce the armies to mere police forces over a period of four years, unless the powers are willing to disarm at once. Complete Disarmament. 3. Demiobilization of all land, sea and air forces. 4, Destruction of all heavy and light artillery, machine guns, army munitions stores, all warships of all classes and all airplanes except those used for strictly commercial purposes. 5. Cessation of all military train- ing. 6. Demolition of all forts by land and sea and the reduction of all naval bases. 7. Strict control of all chemical works and chemists to prevent the manufacture of war materials. 8. Abolition of poison gas ap- paratus such as could be used in war- fare. 9. Abolition by all governments of war offices and ministries of marine and aviation posts except those used in peaceful, commercial air traffic. 10. Forbidding all military propa- ganda. 11. Refusal by governments of patents of war making inventions. SUSPECT WHITES OF ARSON PLOTS Moscow Soviet Warns Against Fires MOSCOW, Feb. 20.—A series of disastrous factory fires is believed to have been started by monarchist groups. Constantin Uchanov, presi- dent of the Moscow Soviets, urged all economic organizations in Moscow to take all precautions against further outbreaks. Among the fires which occurred here in the last four days was one at the large Krasniachemik factory. The factory building was nearly de- sbroyed.

Egypt, Feb. 20.—With the avowed object of avenging the death of Captain Ferguson, a British offi- cer killed in a revolt in the Sudan on December 16 by tribesmen of the Nuer region, British and Sudanese military forces with airplanes are op- erating on two fronts in the Sudan in a new little war for England. Although official versions insist that the punitive expeditionary forces of British planes and a number of units of the Sudan defense force are “of a police nature rather than of a military character,” details coming in from Khartoum and other sources plainly indieate that the process of “restoring confidence” has led to a series of operations which have driven diffident elements among the Nuer tribe to retreat into the islands with their cattle and effects. Murder Natives. While the British airplanes ar hunting down the fugitive native leaders, another series of operations is proceeding in the Lau area, on the Sobat River, where trouble has arisen according to British sources, from a conspiracy among the witch doctors against “the progressive methods of the administration.” Three columns of troops are at work in three separate directions hav- ing drawn a cordon around the is- lands surrounded by big swamps into which the terrorized natives have withdrawn following the surrender of the Nuer chieftain. An official report states that the forces engaged are a fleet of the Royal Air Force, a company of mounted rifles, one Sudanese ma- chine gun bottery, five companies of the Fquatorial Corps, two companies of camel corps and a detachment of engineer troops. Bomb Natives. Laconin messages say that the troops are advancing “preceded #b y air operation which is inflicting easu- alties, dispersing concentrations of men and cattle, and bombing the pyramid of Dangkur, the center and symbol of the influence of the chiefs as witeh doctors.” The British troops are evidently having some trouble with the Sudan- ese levies over the question of who is to advance first into the difficult country. It was reported that a Brit- ish officer ordered a Sudanese de- tachment to advance. The Sudanese officer having refused to obey, the British senior fired at him. drawing the native officer’s fire in return, and causing a battle between the British and Sudanese troops supposed to be pursuing the enemy jointly. Several casualties were inflicted on both sides. The quarrel was patched up by both advancing at the same time. 3 TRAIN KILLS JERSEY WORKER. JERSEY CITY; N. J., Feb. 20.— T. F.
