VIRGINIANS PAY TRIBUTE
Feminine Support of Men Crged
as Moral Obligation Imposed
Upon Opposite Sex.
WASHINGTON, D. C. April 28.
Lord and Lady Aetor came to Wash
nigton today from Baltimore, were
guests at luncheon at the capitol
spoke at the National Press club and
later In the day attended a reception
Siven by Mrs. Charles E. Hughes at
the Pan-American building: for the
Fan-American conference of women.
Tonigrht they attended a meeting at
Continental memorial hall for the
Pan-American women's conference, at
which speakers were Vice-President
t'ooudge and Secretary Hushes.
Virginians Honor Lady Astor.
From the time of her arrival. Lady
Astor was the center of admiring
croups. After luncheon at the capitol,
here she was the guest of Senator
swansoo or Virginia, her native state.
'nd at which she met the entire Vir
ginia delegation in congress, and the
members of the Virginia branch of the
National League of Women Voters,
she and Lord Astor were guests of the
press club where both spoke on na
i:onal and International questions.
After she had spoken "rather ' In
timately" to the newspaper corre
spondents. Lady Astor was photo
graphed shaking hands with Repre
sentative Robertson, the only woman
member of congress.
Women Guiding Spirits
"My view Is," Lady Astor said in
her address, "that the men must look
to the women for moral help in the'r
struggle to accomplish worth while
tilings. I believe in one moral law
and I believe that It Is Incumbent
upon the women to do their share In
aiding the men In their battles
"Women are misunderstood, and It
should be their function to dispel this
wrong idea. Men will continue to
misunderstand until they are made to
understand. 1 recall during the war
my experiences with Americans who
:ame across. They did not under
stand conditions, of course, when they
arrived.
Soldiers Holiday Spoiled.
"I talked with a crowd of fine fel
lows one day and I called a spade a
-pade. They had their pockets filled
with money and I knew what they
iiad in mind. I said to them: 'You fel
lows are going out and perhaps drink
:oo much and perhaps flirt a little,
but in the morning you will have a
headache-and regret the time wasted.
You won' think it was a good time
at all."
"X talked so frankly to those men
that one big fellow, with a solemn
face, sidled up to me and said: s'Lady
Astor, y-ju have ruined my holiday.'
"This is the function of the women.
If she makes Herself understood and
t-xerclses the proper influence she
will become a great force in
world for gxod."
Lord Astor Praises Press,
Lord Astor complimented
the
the
American press on the thoroughness
and accuracy which he said the
Genoa conference was being inter
preted by American newspapermen
attending: the conference.
"The conference," he said, "has not
failed. It has made the world know
what the problems of Europe really
are and what they mean."
Lady Astor Is expected to be the
Euest tomorrow of Senator Swanson
on the floor of the senate to which
she has the privilege as a member of
the British parliament.

OLD WflB QUERY REVIVED
RESPONSIBILITY QUESTION IS
RAISED IN BERLIN.
Sensation Created In Court Hear
ing When Witness Produces
. Letter Written in 1914.
BERLIN, April 28. (By the Asso-
iated Press.) The question of who
tarted the war cropped up again to-
ay in a court action here and created
mild sensation.
During a hearing on the libel suit
brought by Herr Fechenbac-h In
Munich against the Sueddeustche Mo-
natshefte on the ground that the
ewspaper accused 'him of falsifying
ocuments relating to the responsi
bility for the war, published when
Fechenbach was secretary to former
Premier Eisner of Bavaria, Fechen-
ach's counsel produced a letter, said
o have been written by Count von
Lerchenfeld in December, 1914, to
Count Hertling, the premier at that
time. The following passage occurs
in the letter:
"We must adhere to the assertion
that Germany was as much surprised
by Austria's ultimatum to Serbia as
were all the other powers. Wo must
eny that Count Hertling knew the
ontents of the ultimatum before it
was delivered."
Count von Lerchenfeld, alleged
author of the letter. Is an uncle of
the present Bavarian premier and was
for 40 years the Bavarian diplomatic
representative in Berlin. He volun-
eered to give evidence concerning
the authenticity of the document to
day. APAN TO SEND WARSHIPS

leged to have auctioned fishing con
cessions on a date which barred Jap-
nesa bidders from attending. Japan

was Invalid. The Vladivostok govern
ment on the other hand declares Jap
anese fishermen were in arrears In

hat they were using f'shing methods
rohibited toy the agreement.

Ambassador Declares Fair Sex Is
Positive Detriment Unless It
Overcomes Its Ignorance.
WASHINGTON, L. C, April 28.
The economic situation which con
fronts the world today is the great
est menace in all history, declared
Sir Auckland Geddes, the British am
bassador, speaking tonight before a
meeting of the Pan-American confer
ence of women and the National
League of Women Voters at Conti
nental hall.
Millions of men, women and chil
dren are dying throughout the world
for lack of food, for lack of work,
lack of those things which are
necessary to life and happiness, he
said, adding that this situation had
become "the tragedy of the moment
and that behind this tragedy lies even
greater danger unless wisdom of pro
nounced character is exercised."

most by the world war and which
now find it difficult to surmount the
economic "tragedy visited upon
them."
"Governments." said Sir Auckland,
with emphasis, "pressed by the need,
may do thhigs that may lead to dis
aster." Among the several thousand women
who packed the great hall where the
arms conference was held, were rep
resentative women from 22 nations
who had come to tha United States
as delegates to the conventions.
Lady Astor Cheered.
Lord and Lady Astor entered the
hall shortly before the meeting began
and Lady Astor was given a rousing
cheer. She bowed her acknowledg
ment from a box. Mrs. Park, who
presided, and who Is president of the
league, spoke briefly, and Secretary
Hughes then spoke on the duties
confronting the women of the world.
He was followed by the British am
bassador, who remarked that he
could say a lot of nice things about
women, but he did not intend to. but
was going to say something . that
would cause the delegates a shock
His succeeding utterances caused a
gasp and then a roar of applause
when he declared:
"The trouble with all of you Is that
you are too ignorant. Unless you get
out of this ignorance you are a posi
tive menace. You must get to study
the things that Vitally affect the na
tion, for there are problems which
are of particular Interest basically
you should know and understand."
Face Facts, Says Hughes.
Secretary Hughes, in discussing
conditions said, "there is only on
cure for the present disorders of the
world face the facts; deal with
causes and not symptoms; establish
the basis of Confidence in respect for
life, property and contract"
"Credit," he added, "does not pre
cede, but follows confidence; and the
first requirement of those who de
mand Justice and security Is to give
justice and security."

AMERICA ALONE IS READY TO
FIXISH CONFERENCE TACK.
Foreign Countries Too Busy With
Other Problems to Attend to
Ratification Exchanges.
WASHINGTON. D. C. April it.
Presumably because most of the
world Is preoccupied with other
things, the work of perfecting the
programme mapped out by ths Wash
ington arms conference is proceeding
very slowly.
Thus far the United States-alone
has given notification of Its readiness
to exchange ratifications of the con
ference treaties, and although under
conference agreements tha personnel
of two Important commissions was to
have been completed by May 6. no
steps apparently have been taken to
ward selection of any of tha commis
sion members.
One of the commissions Is to at
tempt revision of the rules of war
and the other is to Investigate extra
territoriality In China.
Officials suggested that tha delay
might be accounted for by the pres
sure of official frusinesa in forrlgo
countries.
The time and place of meeting of
the rules of -warfare commission ara
to be selected by the American aov
ernment after consultation with tha
other four powers represented. Tha
general Impression here la that tha
meeting probably will take pl:ice
somewhere In Europe, perhaps at Tha
Hague.
