ings Between Countries.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 2. (By
the Associate Press.) The principal
apanese delegates to the armament
conference arrived here late today
from the Faclflo coast by special
train. The party Included Admiral
T. Kato, minister of marine; Prince
Iyesato Tokugawa, president of the
house of peers, and a party of ad
visers and experts.
The delegation was met by Secre
tary Hughes and Third Assistant
Secretary Bliss, representing the
state department; Secretary Denby
and Assistant Secretary Roosevelt of
the navy department and a number
of other officials.
It was the first time Secretary
Hughes had gone to the Union sta
tion to meet any Incoming delegates
and cordial greetings were ex
changed by him and other members
of the American reception party with
the Japanese delegates. A brief halt
was made for photographs to be
taken. The national anthems of the
two countries were played and then,
under cavalry escort, the delegation
members proceeded to their resi
dences. Armament First Soggeateel.
The Japanese delegation arrived,
Its leaders said, with the desire and
hope of discussing first at the con
ference the question of limitation of
armament and not far eastern prob
lems. The Japanese viewpoint. It was
explained, was that Pacific and far
eastern questions might prove full of
difficulties and If taken up first, ne
gotiations might be delayed.
The pleasant Journey across the
continent from Seattle was in strik
ing contrast to the stormy sea voy
age. As far as possible, secrecy was
maintained as to the Itinerary, pre
cautions being taken because of let
ters received signed by Koreans.
Every member of the party ex
pressed charm at the official welcome
and Just before arriving in Washing
ton Prince Tokugawa said:
"I Intend to devote myself to the
cause of removing any misunder
standings that may exist between our
two countries. We should know each
other better and co-operate."
Chlaa Weighty Problem.
In discussing China, Dr. K.
Ha
yashl, general counsellor to the Jap
anese ministry of foreign affairs and
chief adviser to the conference dele
gation, said:
"He would b bold Indeed who
would venture to offer a solution of
lt
ai
the great problem of China but there
are two thoughts that occur to me."
His first suggestion was that the
powers should agree to cease their
rivalry in China and act in concert
all matters pertaining to that
country, and his second was that the
powers should make up their minds
to be patient with China.
'There is an old Chinese proverb,'
he said, "which declares China must
control foreigners by utilising for
eigners, or to translate the expression
literally, otherwise, she must master
the barbarians with the help of the
barbarians. That policy she follows
with skill and cleverness. Just as Tur
key has in the past played England
Against Russia and England against
Germany, and as that play led to the
ruin of Turkey, so will the powers'
rivalry in China lead to the collapse
of that country if hot corrected.
rlf-lnia! Is t riced.
"The salvation of China, therefore,
lies in bringing her to the realisation
that the rest of the world will act as
a unit in dealing with her. To begin
with, let the powers have enough of
self-denial not to give themselves up
to vain disputes among themselves,
and the next positive step in that di
rection Is tire international consortium
as shown by that in financial affairs.
"China has not yet accepted the cdli
aortium agreement and personally I
do not belieVe she would ever accept
the idea of general international con
trol. International control, moreover,
must be backed by armed force if nec
essary and what powers would be dis
posed to send armies to China? Would
the powers give Japan the mandate to
do so? If they should Japan would
Certaiqly hesitate to accept this dan
gerous mission. Of the danger of
such an undertaking Japan
learned enough."

j
He declared that the contention by
ome critics that Japan secretly de
sired a weak and disorganized China
was a falsity. An orderly China was
necessary to Japan, politically and
commercially, he 'Delated, adding that
he believed Japan would subscribe to
any rational plan to secure It. But

treme disfavor on any group of west

'You Boys Must Work; Von Girls
Must Pray," Allied War Leader
Tells School Children.
KANSAS CITY. Mo., Nov. 2. Mar
shal Foch stayed here today rather
than disappoint several thousand
school children, who had been told
they might get a chance to see him.
He had expected to go to Fort Leav
enworth, Kan., to visit the garrison;
then he learned there was a plan to
have school children lined up along
the boulevards, that he might wave to
them, and they to him. Lieutenant
General Jacques of Belgium accom
panied him on the boulevard tour.
Then the marshal's car stopped at
the convent school of the Sisters of
Notre Dame de Slon, where seven
girls, dressed In white and with the
French trl-color in their hair, made
a speech in French to the marshal,
who responded.
"Children." he said in response to
the greeting, "I came to America
because I love this land. I wanted to
show my appreciation. We have been
friends in war we must be friends
in peace. You boys, when you grow
up, must work; you little girls, when
you are women, must remember to
pray."
When the formal programme was
concluded the marshal started to en
ter his car, but he changed his mind.
He was tired and he asked the bead
of the school whether he might rest
a moment in the parlor.
The marshal went alone Into the
parlor. He leaned back in a chair
and closed his eyes. But he was not
to take a nap. Several little girls,
who had not been able to see Marshal
Foch well when the exercises were in
progress, tiptoed to the door to peek
The marshal 'saw them, bright-
eyed and bashful, and beckoned them
to enter.
And half a dozen, at the same time
abashed and delighted, sidled in and
stood first on one foot and then on
the other beside the marshal's chair
and smiled at him, answering his
questions as to their names and ages.
They had been taught to speak French,
though some of them spoke lisplngiy.
When the marshal's 20 minutes were
up he shook hands with two little
boys gravely and kissed the little
girls.
There were great tears in his eyes,
for today was the anniversary of the
death of his son, who perished in the
war.
Late in the Hay, however, the mar
shal was prevailed upon to go to
Leavenworth. Accompanied by
friends, he visited the military estab
lishment there. The party returned
to Kansas City after dark, and the
marshal. General Pershing and Gen
eral Baron Jacques left on the first
leg of their Journey to Washington.

Cancellation Considered Favorable
Sign of Progress of Emerald
Isle Negotiations.
LONDON, Nov. 2. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Premier Lloyd George
has definitely canceled bis passage on
the steamer Aquitania, on which be
was to have proceeded to the United
States November 6 to attend the
Washington conference. This tact
became officially known here tonight.
It had been known, however, for
some days that the critical stage the
Irish negotiat'.ons had reached prob
ably would prevent Mr. Lloyd George
from sailing Saturday. Owing to the
grave turn In Irish affairs. It is not
even possible to fix a provisional date
for the premier's sailing, but he still
Intends to go to Washington at the
earliest moment possible.
Cancellation by the premier of his
passage Is considered a favorable
rather than an unfavorable sign of
the progress of the Irish negotiations.
The interpretation placed on It is
that Mr. Lloyd George hopes that a
few days' delay in his departure will
enable him to see a settlement
reached, or at least the basis of an
agreement reached which can be
worked out during his absence. In
this connection, importance Is at
tached to the fact that Sir James

at Corvallis Are Told.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL-
GON, corvallis, Nov. 2. (Special.)
"The very worst thing a man oan do
socially is to become embarrassed.
said Miss Mary A. Rolfe, dean of
women, in her first lecture to men on
social ethics. The- large lecture room
was packed seats, aisles, windows
and doorways and the crowd of 700
was equaled by the throng unable
to gain entrance.
"To be embarrassed is selfish be
cause one always causes embarrass
ment for others in the group. Don't
be dull and stupid. Do things as you
think they ought to be done, even
though you are not sure of the meth
ods," she said.
"A man has nothing but his eyes
and his mouth to 'get him by' In this
world, and the use of his eyes and
his smile is more essential than the
use of his hands and feet," said the
dean.
"Never forget that every woman
wants to trust and adore men. It is
up to you to protect her, not to test
her. The most frequent question I
hear from girls is: 'How can I know
how far to -trust a man?' The an
swer lies with you."
The correct ways of introducing for
all occasions, of arranging a dinner
table, of acknowledging introduc
tions, of. beginning and carrying on
conversations with new acquaint
ances, and positions for dancing were
demonstrated by Miss Rolfe and the
chairman of the social committee.
Miss Rolfe believes that she learned
more about American men during the
15 months she passed In France as t
war worker with American soldiers
than women of her position usually
have a chance of knowing.
"I trusted every American soldier
with whom I came into contact and
never, had occasion to regret the
trust. ' The basic attitude of the
American toward a woman is that of
protection." '
