ALLIED MISSION
ISSUES REPORT
Germany Hindered In-
vestigation in Every
Way Delegates Say
fBy The Associated Press.)
PARIS Feb. Id. The report of the
allied military control mission fifty
pages long on the state of Germany's
disarmament accompanied by twelve
lengthy annexes was delivered at the
offices of the allied war committee pro
sided over bv Marshal Koch today
(-’epics of the document were immediate-
ly forwarded to the allied government.
The mission sets forth infull the
difficulties under which it worked de-
claring that obstructions placed by the
Germans in the way of the investiga-
tions absolutely prevented any discov-
eries by direct search. Every disclosure
made the report states was the result
of denunciations by Pacifist workers in
factories where war material was being
turned out or by students who w'ero
aware of training operations in univer-
sities.
The most important o£» the twelve an-
nexes each dealing with a special fea-
ture of the mission’s work are those
relating to military training and the
number of men in Germany being fit-
ted for arms service contrary to the
treaty of Versailes and to German arma-
ments. In sp'itc of the* obstacles placed
in its way the mission declares it suc-
ceeded through suggestions furnished by
German pacifists in obtaining detailed
information of the greatest importance
on these two points.
A mass of detail is given in the re-
port which in the judgment of those
aware of its contents will prove abun-
dantly the allied case against Germany.

for the present to the foregoing state
ment.
WASHINGTON D. C- Feb. 18.—In-
formal discussion of a new arms con-
ference. to be called by President fool-

officials here indicated today that no
definite results had been attained.
The state department would not dis-
cuss the subject beyond authorizing the
statement that the conversations had
not yet reached the point of an exchange
of formal notes.
It as assumed in the absence of of-
ficial comment that the steps taken
look to an extension of the Washington
naval treaty so as to include a limi-
tation on auxiliary craft as well as
capital ships.
Such a project was under considera-
tion here at the time the league of na-

countered obstacles and President Cool-
