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.

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

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

TOKIO, July 26. (By the Associ

State Hughes in Washington have

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. With the reduction. Secre
tary Weeks announced today there
will be a general redistribution of
troops, practical abandonment of
seven great war-time army canton
ments, placement of many organiza
tions on the inactive list and skele
tonization of others.
The cantonments to be abandoned
are Camps Devens, Mass.; Sherman, O.;
Pike, Ark.; Grant, 111.; Jackson, South
Carolina; Meade, Md., except for a
small detachment, and Bragg, rortn
Carolina. 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.
The nine training centers selected
by the secretary are-: First, coast de
fenses or Boston; second, tort sio
cum. New York; third. Camp Meade,
Maryland; fourth. Fort McPherson,
Georgia; fifth. Camp Knox, Kentucky;
sixth. Fort Sheridan, Illinois; seventh,
Fort Snelling. Minnesota; eighth, Fort
Sam Houston, Texas, and ninth, at
the Presidio, San Francisco.
Under the order the first division at
camp Dix, N, J., will remain at that
place and the second division will re
main at Camp Travis, Tex., while the
third division, stationed at Camp
Pike, Arkansas, will be moved to
Camp Lewis, Washington.
Headquarters of the eighth brigade
at Camp Lewis will be transferred to
Vancouver barracks, Washington;
headquarters 12th brigade at Camp
Grant, Illinois, to Fort D. A. Russell,
Wyoming.

Perhaps the greatest single tribute that is paid the Cadillac,
is the indifference of its owners to the appeal of other cars
struggling for a share of Cadillac preference.
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.
