By the Associated Press. JENEVA, Switzerland, Octoher 9. A lively session of the naval sub commission the preparatory of armament conference took place last night when the French delegation tried to have excluded a proposal lim iting naval armaments by of ships, which was submitted by the American. Arvgentine, Chilean, British and Japanese delegations. The French took the ground that it really con- tained three methods, instead of one. and that the proposal should not be | | considered until the signatories were in complete agreement. Hugh hson,” American Minister to Switzerland, intervened in the dis. cussion with a blunt speech in which he declared the signatories of the pro- | posal ‘merely wanted it to go before the full preparatory disarmamens commission on its merits. He criti- «d the French atttude as likely to ‘k convening of the proposed in- ernational disarmament conference. He said the hix naval powers virtu ally were agzreed concerning the hest method of reducing navies. The French apparently Mr. Gibhson's presence on the com mittee of experts, hut the American viewpoint finally was upheld.

COPPER SMELTED IN ANCIENT EGYPT Scientist Advances Theory Man Brought Ore and Metal To- gether Accidentally. Br Science Service. LONDON, October 9.—The most an- cient copper used hy man early in the dawn of civilization may have been smelted by the heat of petroleum, one of the most modern of fuels. This is the novel theory advanced by Per E. Spellmann in a communication to the Rritish scientific journal, Nature. Tt was nature rather than man him. elf, who arranged the smelting. Sir Flinders Petrie, the Egyptian arche- ologist, recently dise remark- able similarity hetween the description of the Egyptian paradise described in the “Rock of the Dead” and a region 4 along the rivers of the lora and Kura n the Cancasus. This is supposed to have been the original home of the Igyptians, where they learned the working of metals, agriculture and the writing of language. In this area petroleum forming lakes in some cases, exist in close proximity to copper ore, and the theory ix that the oil. accidentally fired. smelted the ore so that man. coming upon the copper at a later date. found it in metallic form The most widely accepted theory of the first smelting of copper is that primitive man accidentally ore and fuel together in his family campfive, thus becoming an accidental metaliurgist New Air Line Planned.
