General satisfac tien Is expressed In the newspapers this morning nt reports from Washington iliac tnu Jiritisii nntl Japanese delega tions te tlic Armament Conference iin prepared te nrpept in principle tin American proposals for n ten-year nnvnl holiday nnd the scrapping of nil but n JImlted number of warships.

At the nni( time it is remarked tint Great Britain, as n f.ir-scattcn d em pire, is in nuite n different position than the self-contained United States, Mini that circumstances are conceiable in which Great Britain might be called upon te defend the British Isles and at the same time protect the eutljing parts of the rmjiire, as well ns guard trade And feed routes. This, it Is urged. must DC considered wlnn the eletniN of the plan come up for discissien in 'he Conference. . Reluctant te Scrap Heeds "There are nNe some indentiens of reluctance among the nanl expert- te agree te the proposal that Great ltritnln tcrnp the four pest-war battleships of the Heed type, contracts for which were recently placed. These warships, it Is contended, are superior te any se far projected by the t'nited States. "nnd cancellation of the contrails would im mediately place Grear Untain in an in ferior position te the I tilted States ns regards battleship strength, as the American ships would be newer and mere powerful. The point ii nlse made that anv ar rangement made in Washington should permit the dominions te build cruisers in addition te these Great Britain pos sesses.

He said he felt sure the dllllcultica and necessities of France would be realized. "1 may sny that we are back of you. Mr. Secretary." he said iu con clusion, addressing Mr. Hughes. Chairman Hughes, In his talk, de clared that all hud listened with grati ficatien and profound emotion te the experts and it is the desire of the American government that what wn proposed nnd discussed by Mr. l!nlfer and Admiral Kate will all be thoroughly considered (e the end that after careful deliberation, we may accomplish the purpose for which this conference as sembled te achieve. y "There will come out of the con ference an approved agreement for re duction of naval armaments nnd the end of offensive naval xvarfarc which will weik te the great nnd enduring t.iMC of the world." .Mr llnghiN said if it xvas net the desire te continue discussion It would be in order te ndjeurn, ndding thnt Premier Itrliind would be expected te present his views fully later en the subject of land armnments.

The delegates te the Conference gave formal assent today te the committee plan of procedure mapped out yester day by the "Pig Pive." Fndeir this program the Conference would lie re solved into two ' "committees of the whole," one for tbe discussion of arma ments proper and one for the d!cuss!en of Far Kastcrn questions, thus remov ing the ical work of negotiation from the open sessions in Continental Hall te the executive confines of committee rooms.

The marshal and his party departed en their journey for Philadelphia in gay spirits, buoyed up by the clinnn In the weather. Gcnernl Fech was eager, tee, for the visit which he pnle en the way, te historic Princeton, wheri academic honors nwnited him. Members of the marshal's party snir! thnt for the last few days he hacT becn the most cheerful man en the spe, cial train. "Most of us were affected unfaver ably by weather conditions," tnid en of his nldcs. "Wc had colds or Intli. gcstien,' nnd our spirits were affected by the lowering clouds. Nqt se th general. He was ns cheerful ns cver lip hns been In excellent spirits nnd health nllkc." n Reads Much, Talks Llltle On the trip, members of his part sold, the marshal has kept much te himself, ns Is his custom. He Is a man of great piety, se much se that In France 'they cnll him the "gray man. of Christ." On the train he spends much time reading the "Imitation et Christ." He has net talked n grertt dpnl te the Americans in the party, ns he is net a master of Fnglish. He is tneiturn, hews ever, even with his closest French nsse. elates, practicing economy of words en all ocensiens. "When he is net reading, n great parn of the time he is smoking his famous pipe, burning in it n brand of dark Moroccan tobacco which has a vlU lainetis reck te Americnn nostrils, buO seems a delight te the marshal. His entourage sny the secret of liM geed health en the fatiguing trip up ami down the country by train, with days of strenuous activity nt cities which lis visits nnd nights spent in long jumps by train, is his abstemious habit of life. He eats sparingly but regular!), and sleeps a great deal. "Sleeping en trains is no new thing for him," one of iil-i younger aides ex plained proudly. "In the g eat win he grew accustomed te living en trains. He says new he is mere comfortable In trains than hotels. Travel does nnt seem te fatigue him. lie tnkes it easy, ns you say. When night comes, if theie is no ieumev in ! made, hc says thai he will sleeii In" his berth jn the train, and net In a hotel bedroom., And he sli'ens in th Irani, seemingly with great joy."
