BY JUNIUS B. WOOD. The conference committee which is nsidering naval armament in execu- ve session has progressed to an at- mpt to define the tonnage of the va- pious nations. An agreement on this jmportant fundamental is necessary for thny solution of the subject. While in e popular mind fixing the tonnage of dreadnaught may be only slightly ore complicated than weighing a load iof coal, to the naval expert it means womething vastly more.

C., Character and Fighting Efficiency to Be Weighed by Del egates in Choice of Balileships INVASIONBY SOVIET BIG BLOW TO CHINA Refusal to Give Up Outer Mongolia Adds New Com- plication to Problems. BY, PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. A new complication has suddenly arisen in the already wellnigh inex- tricable China question. Complete confirmation has just been received that the soviet Russian troops who entered Outer Mongolia last July to oppose the Russian adventurer, Baron Ungern, have remained there, and are exercisipg the actual authority, under the cloak of a so-called Mongollan soviet. They are not only there, but Chicherin, Russian commissary for foreign affairs, announces that they are going to stay there. At his in- stigation, the “Mongolian soviet gov- ernment” has declared its independ. ence of China. Outer Mongolia has seemingly fallen completely into the power of bolshevist Russia, which thus, for the first time in its brief but bloody history, has extended its sway over terrifory never included in the old Russian empire. Thinks Highly of Dependency. This is undoubtedly a hard blow for China, which thinks so highly of its Mongolian dependency that the day en Mongolian autonomy was abro- gated, in 1917, was declared a Chinese national holiday. Thus, not only is Britain . backing the independence movement h threatens to lose Tibet to Chin ot only is Japan firmly intrenched in Manchuria and Jener Mongalia, but now soviet Russia hes seized upon Outer Mongolia. Vast areas of China's former territory bid fair to be lost forever. Britain and Japan are now present in Washington, and. if they like, can enter into agree ments which will preserve China's sovereignty over Tibet, Manchuria and Inner Mongolia. But soviet Russia is absent. Who in Washington would venture to undertake the job of ex- pelling the soviet troops who now oc- oupy Urga, the seat of the Outer Mon- golian government? 'rha conference will doubtless have serious difficulty ln attempting to deal with this prob- lem. Moscow Toying for Months. Varfous past events support the idea that Moscow has been toying for months with ‘the idea of extending its power into Mongolia. It was not un- til Baron Ungern, Dacked, it is said, by Japan, entered Mongolia with a motley force of adventurers, expelled the ill-organized Chinese soldiery and established himself m Urga, where he made a kind of alliance with the head of the Mongolian religion, “the living Buddha,” that the Russian soviets found their opportunity. In response to an “appeal” from ‘the provisional government of Mongoli: that is to say, from certain malcontents with ‘whom the soviet agents had intrigued in Urga, soviet Russlan troops, to the numbeg ‘of 10,000, advanced into Mon- golia, met and defeated Ungern, who ‘Wwas captured, and set up a soviet gov- ernment, supposedly Mongolian, but really & puppet in their hands. Un- geérn was court-martialed and, some say, executed; but others say that he has been sent to Mcscow for a more formal trial. The soviet Russian gar- rison in Urga has apparently been fixed 2t about 2,000, at which figure it now stands. Russia’s intentions were first ex- pressed In a_note, about August 1921, from Chitcherin to the people's revolutionary government of Mongo- lla, guaranteeing the “free develop. ment” of the Mongollan people on a basis of autonomy and of “the orgau: ization of a machinery of popular rev- olutionary authority.’ The puppet revolutlanary govern. ment, which the soviet trocpe set up in Urga, declared¢ Mongoli lnfle- pendence of China in a document pub. lished about October 6 and flrennd to all countries. Recalling how Mon- golian autonomy was established by the Kiakhta agreement of 1915, ba- tween Russia, China and Mongolia. and how this autonomy was abrogated by China in 1917, the document goes| on to relate that the Chinese troops having fled without offering resist-| ance to Baron Ungern, the Mongollans themselves, aided by the government of soviet Russia, arose and expelled Ungern's followers and established a “people's government.” ‘This government will not, however, un- dertake any hostile acts against China, the document proceeds, ‘“on condition that China ceases to interfere in any way"” with Mongolian The document is signed “Bodo,” prcmlsr and minister of foreign affairs of the people’s Mongolian government. Moseow at Root. Reliable reports recelved by certain delegations In Washington confirm that, beneath the usual bolshevist verdiage of independence and democracy, it Is really soviet Russia—it is really Mos- cow, which, by means of its troops, wields the real power today In Urga, confiscating, making and enforcing laws and rules, even seizing “gifts” of cattle for shipment to Russia. Another “state” is thus added to the Russian soviet “fed- eration,” waich already includes the Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia and the Agerbai and another problem is added to the long list which faces the delegates to the Washington conference.

CUT IN LAND ARMS HINGES ON TREATY ‘Plan May Drop Out of Sight Unless France Is Given Guarantee. BY POUL SCOTT MOWRER. Unless the United States or Dritain, or both, are prepared to offer France some form of written guarantee or as- surance to come to its aid in case of unprovoked aggression, the question of land armament, which has been eferred to commission, will probably now gradually drop back out of sight, despite the influence which this ques- tion undoubtedly exerts upon the far eastern situation. The powers which France chiefly fears, namely Germany and Russia, are not represented here. There are various other elements of the situation which do not lie in the hands of this conference, and which therefore preclude any progress in land disarmament except by the proc- ess of giving France definite promises of aid. Nothing less than such prom- ises could be considered by France as justification for disbanding part of its large army. President Favors Assurance. President Harding is known to fa- vor offering some sort of reassurance to France; but to fix upon the exact wording. and to overcome the possible oppozition of the American _Senate are difficulties o considerable that it is doubtful if a suitable formula can be found. Anelysis of the speeches made in| yesterday's open session shows the essential position of the various inter- ested delegations to be about as fol- lows: France cannot reduce its army be- cause of the spirit of revenge which i strong in Germany and becau really {8 possible for Germany, now organized, to bring U ther an armed force of dangerous size. This danger is heightened hy the enigma ! Rui n power by the weak- ness of the simall new states of central and eastern Europe, which France feels bound to protect.

TALY STL FR FOR SUBMARNES Will Not Accept France’s Claim for Greatly Su- perior War Fleet. BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News Copyright, 1921 ROME, Italy, November ever may be the declsions of the del- egates to the Waghington conference, Itallan opinion is unanimous on two points: First, the Italian fleet in the Mediterranean must not be greatly inferfor to that of any other nation, and second, Italy must build and use submarines. Italy will not accept that claim of France to a greatly supe- rior fleet. That is the opinion of Gen. Valsecchi, the chief naval con- structor, and all the admirals who have expressed opinions in the last few days agree that submarines are the defense of the poorer and weaker nations and simply cannot be relin- quished. German Enmity Earned. Whatever concessions the Italians make, and the entire nation scems favorable to disarmament, these two points remain. ‘The newspapers insist that Italy b accepting the Bernner frontiers has earned German enmity and must be protected against an eventual German attempt to retake southern Tyrol. aggressive power. Thirty-eight mil- lion Italians keep 200,000 men mobil- ized and 12,000,000 Jugoslave main- tain the same number. It is thought that should the subject of land dis- armament be discussed further the Itallans will demand that it be ex- tended to Jugoslavia. The attitude of all the powers in Washington has greatly surprised the Italians, who were inclined to mal;c' pessimistic predictions. The new papers refer particularly to the ap- parent good understanding between the United States and the Vatican and point to the reading of the Pope’ telegram and his prayers for the suc- cess of the conference.

Washington tomorrow will witness the first exodus of arms parley par- ticipants in the departure for New York of Premier Briand and several members of the French delegation, who will sail from the metropolis for Paris at noon Friday. Premier Briand is going back to his own country happy in the belief that the conference is well on its way to accomplishing the purposes for which it was called and extremely gratified by the athetic reception accorded his dress at Monday's plenary session outlining France position with respect to land arma ment. Parley Already Success. “The premier considers the con- ference alrealy is a suceess,” said a member of the French delegation at the New Willard hotel this morning. “He believes there will be no difficuity in working out the detalls of the practical application of the general principles adopted.” So confident is the French states- man that the conference will move rapidly to a succeseful disposing or the problems before it that he is making no plans to return and pa ticipate in its final sessions.
