Oriental Acceptance of Invitation Opens Way to Settle Upon Date of Disarmament Parleys. TVASHIXGTON', D. G. July 26. (By ; the Associated Press.) With full Japanese participation in the disarm . ament conference regarded as finally ' assured, American officials in charge of the conference plans were begin ning to give earnest consideration to . the date of the meeting as the next 6tep in' the diplomatic preliminaries. Such exchanges as have taken place regarding, the meeting date were understood to have been informal. pending a definite statement of Japan's consent to enter fully into the discussions. From now on, how- - ever, the subject will bo given greater prominence, with the United States leaning strongly toward late fall as the most advantageous time. Japan Clears' Away Obstacle. Official word of Japan's willingness to discuss far eastern questions had - not reached the state department to night, but officials showed much gratification over news dispatches ; saying such a decision had been . reached by the Japanese cabinet. It had been the desire here to clear away these preliminaries quickly, though confidence had been apparent .' that Tokio would interpose no ob stacle to the unreserved discussion desired. Once Japan definitely has prepared ' to come into the conference here without self-imposed restrictions and reservations, it was the belief here that the participating powers could reach an agreement without diffi culty regarding the programme of the sessions. Armistice Day Snggested. The date of meeting, however, was a consideration of some importance which will have to be decided before the formal invitations go out. Amer- '. lean officials have emphasized that they desire to get the delegates to- . gether as soon as practicable, though they have no intention of attempting to dictate what day shall be selected. They have suggested Armistice day, November 11. Whether that time will be- accept able generally to the other powers was not known here, but news reports from abroad have indicated Great Britain in particular might favor de laying the meeting until spring. Much data must be prepared by each nation for use during the consultations here, large staffs must be organized, and . many physical arrangements made in addition to reaching an agreement on the programme. PACIFIC COAST IS PREFERRED tion, he added, lies in the condition of industry. Japan had progressed in industry, but had not yet achieved consolidation of industry. "Japan must prove to the world that her condition does not permit of un limited expansion of armaments," the mayor said. POBTL.1XD Steps Taken to Have Disarmament Gathering la City. Steps to secure the proposed con ference for the peace of the Pacific at Portland were taken yesterday by the Portland Chamber of Commerce, according to H. B. Van Duier, presi dent. P. Hetherton, executive sec retary of the Chamber, sent a num ber of telegrams to the state depart ment and to the Oregon delegation at Washington urging that Portland be selected as the meeting place. 'Portland's geographical position and the close commercial relations of the city with Japan and other oriental countries make this the logical place for the conference," said Mr. Van Duzer yesterday. Invitations for the conference also were telegraphed to Washington by the chamber of commerce of Seattle, Wash.: the chamber of commerce of Spokane, Wash.: James Rolph, mayor. in behalf of San Francisco, and the two cities of Los Angeles and Pasa dena, Cal. Britain and Japan Are Reported as Favoring Western City. LOXDON, July 26. The hope that the conference on Pacific and far eastern questions might be held in some other American city than Washington, or in some Canadian city, was expected to ba expressed by two of the great powers invited to participate Great Britain and Japan it was authoritatively learned this evening. News of Japan's official acceptance of President Harding's invitation, 'which, it is expected here, will be forthcoming this week, was awaited in London with great interest, for in the Japanese communication it is ' probable there will be a suggestion that a Pacific coast city in the United States, or a Canadian city, would be more suitable than Washington for the conference. The dominion premiers yesterday reached an agreement on matters af- fceting the Pacific conference, con cerning whih they previously had dif fered, said the uauy Mail. It was expeted an official statement would be issued tomorrow. The Daily Mail added that the pre Tniers had been working for days on how to effect a compromise between the objections of the United States to a preliminary conference in Lon don, and their own inability to attend a Washington conference before next year. The newspaper said it under stood a, solution was found. "This solution," it continued, "will lie in informal consultations being held between representatives of the Pacific powers, which will enable Australia and New Zealand to put their views on record." The London Times mentioned rumor that informal consultations might be held in Canada. It said there were obvious arguments in favor of such a suggestion, as Arthur Meighen, premier of Canada, soon would be going home and Premier Hughes of Australia and Premier Massey of New Zealand possibly would return home by way of Canada. The Times added that the approval of the United States was essentia before such an idea could be adopted Japan considers that there are im portant matters relating to Mexico and the Dutch East Indies in which she has considerable interest, and that inasmuch as Mexico and Holland have not been invited to the proposed con ference at Washington, the inference was drawn that only such questions as Shantung and Yap were slated for discussion, according to a statement from Japanese sources here. The contention was put forth that Japan could not go to Washington merely for such a limited discussion. Japan, it was declared, had no ob jection to entering a conference and felt grateful to the United States to invite her to discuss armament, but only could assent to a general dis cussion provided all matters embraced by Pacific problems were discussed. JAPANESE DECIDE TO ACCEPT Reply to President's Invitation Is Soon to Be Forwarded. TOKIO, July 26. (By the Associ ated Press.) The Japanese cabinet has decided to accept participation In the proposed conference on far east ern problems, the Associated Press was informed today. It was under stood the Japanese answer would be forwarded to Washington in the near future.- Apparently the talks between Am bassador Shidehara and Secretary of State Hughes in Washington have gene far toward clarifying the situ ation. According to Japan's understanding of the American viewpoint, as given out here. America's idea is to make -the basis of the conference a broad discussion of policies and principles, although each participant would have the right to introduce specific subjects if they were germane to WHAT COXRRESS DID AS ITS DAY'S WORK..

MEDFORD, Or., July 26. (Special.) -Medford made a bid for "world fame" today when the following tele gram was sent to Senators McNary and Stanfield bearing the signatures or several leading citizens and 10,000 others: "Medford, lying midway between San Francisco and Portland, with climate and surroundings most con ducive to peaceful sentiments and righteous aims, presents ideal loca tion for proposed disarmament con ference, and the following citizens urge you to bring this matter to the attention of President- Harding with tne nope that the Rogue river valley finally will be selected as the meeting piace or the great powers of the world." Japanese Like Disarmament. CHICAGO, July 26. Public opinion in Japan favored President Harding's disarmament conference, according to Shikao Matsushima, who, with other delegates from Japan to the league of nations meeting at Geneva, Switzer land, passed through Chicago today. Suspension of Japan's "eight and eight" policy of naval expansion de pended upon the outcome of the dis armament meeting, Mr. Matsushima said. He predicted that an amicable settlement of the Tap controversy with the United States would be reached by the league of nations, somewhat along the line of Japan's recent offer of international control of the cable station on the island. WASHINGTON". D. G. July 26. Re duction of the United States army to a peace-time strength of 150.000 men will be accomplished by July 31, in accordance with the decision of con gress when it refused to appropriate funds for pay of a greater force arter October 1.

Those to be retained are Dix, N. J.; Travis, Texas; Lewis, Wash., and Knox, Ky. All Troops to Be Moved- The war secretary said it was his plan eventually to remove all troops from the cantonments to be vacated and to salvage most of the buildings. It was not his purpose, he said, to sell the land, but to retain it as well as the utilities and improvements. He said this would be used if future ap propriations permitted an expansion of the citizens' military training camps. Secretary Weeks recently instructed corps area and divisional commanders to permit the men within the conti nental boundaries to resign during July on application without forfeit ing travel pay to their homes or the $50 bonus which they received ordi narily when their enlistments ex pired. Order la Soon Revoked. The many resignations caused the secretary to revoke his order before the month ended. He said today that the applications already received would bring the enlisted strength to the 150,000 mark by July 21. Orders to commanding officers for them to prepare to move to new sta tions and advising others that their units had been placed on the "in active list" with the selection of "pa rent" organizations to care for their records and equipment, have been sent out as a part of the scheme for reorganization.

"In Broom's legal maxima it i: said of this maxim: 'But this maxim must no be understood to mean that the king is above the laws in the un confined sense of those words, and that everything he does is, of course, just and lawful, and it is, therefore, a fundamental general rule that the King cannot sanction an act forbid den by law; so that from this point of view he is under and not above tne laws and is bound by the;.- equally with his subjects."' "The 'king' has no counterpart in Illinois," Judge Smith's opinion con tinued. "It is argued that the constitution provides for the Impeachment of the governor and that because it so pro vides there can be no other punish ment; that specifying this procedure precludes all others.

Year after year, for ten years, eager salesmanship has been centred and concentrated upon this effort to ' divert the Cadillac owner from his allegiance. Year after year Cadillac owners have remained indifferent; and year after year their number has increased. This could not be so, of course, but for the positive conviction of the Cadillac owner that it would be impossible for him to find a car at once so superbly smooth and so free from the need of adjustment, overhauling and repair. He believes as we know that these qualities are the fruit of . such years of organization and striving after perfection as only the Cadillac has enjoyed. He believes that this sort of continuous satisfaction, freedom from care, cost and worry, is the one and only thing that spells motor car value. If he were offered as no doubt he frequently is offered the most lavish sort of inducement, he would still consider it bad business to relinquish the certainty the Cadillac alone can give him.
