P.).— The United States does not contemplate offering any definite program for limita- tion of land forces during the confer- ence here and so far as the American delegates and their military advisers haye been able to ascertain, none of the for- cign delegations has prepared proposals for army reduction. The question of army reductions wiil be broached in open conference by Pre- mier Briand of France. He has already intimated that France would urge an army for herselt sufficient for protection against her near neighbors, and the whole question of armies is then expeoted 1o be referred to the armament commit- tee of the whole. The United States has no proposals for army limitation, it was said on authority today, as she has noth- ing to offer on her own behalf. the American army already being as small as is consistent with national safety and domestic needs. Great Britain, it was said, was in similar position, her army ot admitting of any reduction. Having no suggestions for reduction of thei rown forces, it was said that neither the United States nor Great Britain were in a position 1o offer any concessions, nor were they desirous of suggesting, on their own initlative, limits for the armies of other powers. The Amevican group is| fully prepared, however, to deal with the | land force question when it develcps, | having complete Gata relating to everf army of considerable size in the world at hand. In cechnical information and expert advisers, the Americans were said to_regard themselves well fortified for any future negotiations, There was much speculation among the conferees whether France would propose or hint at reported desires for definite | assurances from America and _Great | Britain for protection against German aggression. in consideration for an agree- | ment to make radical reduction in the | size of the French army. If so, there was high authority for the | statement: that she would be doomed to disappointment. The American position was £aid to be against any treaty, com- e e assuring France that Amegglea would go| o her aid in case of outslde aggression. While the Amerigan representatives were said to feel France's special posi- | t n with its full force and with kecnest ympathy, it was declared that under no circumstances could America consent to such an agreement, express or implled. | In this: position the American delegates | were said to &eve received assurances of support from Great Britain, and Canada also was sald to be ready to adhere to the American view in this regard. Tt was understood that members high in e councils of the American, British and | jtish colonial delegations had discussed | he question-informally and already were | in harmony.

P.)— Arthur J. Balfour, head of the British delegation to the Washington conference, stood in a circle of more than one hun- | dred correspondents in the dining room of the British embassy tonight and an- swered almost as many questions, It Was a new exverience for the British statesman and he seemed to enjoy it. But while he answered nearly every question, there was one hig reservation —he was not to be quoted. “Treat me with the same mercy that you do your American secretary of state,” he said, smiling, as he mopped beads of perspiration from his brow. It was warm in the room, and Mr. Balfour apparently was worn by his long day of conferences. There was a twinkle of amusement in his eye when somebody addressed him as “Lord Balfour,” and again when he was asked to express off hand an opinion on a delicate subject, of Which he Wouid not speak. The cordial manner in which he recefv- ed the correspondents and endeavored to eniighten them brought a sharp ring of applanse at the end, as Lord Rlddel took him by the arm and announced that he was wanted elsewhere. Arrangements were made today by which one of the British delegates will receive the corresondents every after- noon. Mr.’ Balfour was selected to mect them first.

Bandit, Recaptured By Unarmed Mail Clerk— Bandit Would Not Shoot at an Unarmed Man. Phoenix, Ariz., Nov: 16.—Roy Gardner, mail bandit, who escaped under the fire of a score of guards from the feneral penitentiary at McNeil Island, Washing- ton, where he was serving a sentence for Pacific coast robberies, was captured sin- gle handed here last night by Herman Inderlied when he attempted to rob the mail car on an Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway train at the Santa Fe station. Inderlied was unarmed and was the mail clerk in chdrge of the car. Late today Gardner was arraigned be- fore United States Commissioner John B. Henke and was held to the federal grand jury in bonds of $100,000. He will not be tried here, however, but will be sent to Leavenworth, Kansas, to finish serv- ing sentences which were hanging over him when he escaped last September, ac- cording to Thomas Flynn, United States district attorney The bandit admitted his identity when local police recognized in him a likene: with descriptions sent broadcast at the time of Gardner's escare from McNeil Island. Immediately after establishing his identity, Gardner was turncd over fo the federal authorities. The prisoner's first words to the sheriff when taken into the county jail were a warning that he in- tended fo escape if the opportunity arose. Edward C. McGrath, superintendent of | railway mail service in the west, de- clared tonight that Inderlied would re- ceive the reward of $5.000 offered for the capture of any person who attempted to rob the mails and also the $2,000 which was a special Teward offered for the capture of Gardner. At the hearing Inderlied told of going to the car to prepare for his run. He | said he changed. his clothes, laying his revolver on a table while he did so. Af terwards he got out to get the mail from a drop box at the station, leaving his re- volver on the table, When he returned, he sald, he was| confronted by a masked man who pointed | a revolver towards his head and ordered | him to hold up his hands and to back into the corner. “I started backing, but didn't hold up my hands,” he said. When he got into the corner, he said, the bandit ordeveg him to lie down on his stomach, and he started to do so. Then, he said, he started to straighten| up but only got high enough to see the | gun held in the other's hand. “T made a grab for it and got his| wrist. Then we started scuffiing and wrestling,” Inderlied testified. At he said, both fell down and he ot on top of the bandit and got posses- sion of the gun About that time, he testificd, help arrived in response to his calls, In reply to questions, Inderlied, who is over six feet awl weighs 215 pounds, ad- mitted that the bandit had numerous chances to shoot him both before and during the scuffiing. Inderlied identified five bullets as those he had later taken from Gardner's gun. Two of them had wooden noses.” Gardner that the wood-nosed bullets contained small shot that probably would 150 Inderlied Gardner blamed his faflure on the fact s gun during th ruggle with DATA TO WORK OUT THE LIMITATION OF LAND FORCES ‘Washington, Nov. 16 (By the A.
