Tha eml-of-ficl&l statement from the BrtUah defeca tion that rrcmier Lloyd Georr ta hast ening hla plana to t to Washington, overshadowed any now developments of tho bl( conference Thursday. There waa a rumor that Germany may bs Invited to the conference and given an opportunity to disclose her exact military and financial condition. Such a move. It waa admitted, would, at least help to solve the critical exchange prob lems abroad. The" report concernlns the Invitation haa not the status of official confirma tion as yet. The committee on Pacific and Far Ksstern questions waa compelled by the Illness of Baron Hhtdehara, the Japanese ambassador, to postpone Its meetings until Katurday. The ambassador's ill ness Is- sllaht. Meantime they have all tne more lme for cable communication VJ Tokio. The sob-committee, whose Job Jt was to outline a plan for the whole committee on Kar Kastern matter, met at 11 o clock In the Tan-American union. It recommended that the flrxt steD would be a discussion by tjj whole committee on the Chinese proposals and tho Ameri can arenda. Afttr svich discussion the ub-ommltt-e. having learned, the points of difference of doubt, will be belter able to map out the work. ADMIRALS 15 8KSIO. The committee of admirals, consisting of technical experts met Thursday. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roose velt presided. Admiral Beatty repre sented Great Britain, Vice Admiral Kato (ho Is not the same as the Admiral Baron Kato of the delegation) repre sented J a pun. Krance waa represented by Admiral Lehon and Italy by Admiral Arton. The dolnga of this committee will be absolutely secret for an obvious reason. Nothing, they decide will be final. They will make technical con tributions, but the decisions will be by the statesmen. The present American attitude toward the British criticisms of the number of submarines allowed is that the comment was reasonable, but that on the matter of slse the American naval policy is to hsve submarines capable of cruising from the Gulf of St. Iawrence to the 1'anama canal and back, without hav ing to replenish en route. Meantime, Monsieur Brland seems rather anxious to net back to France, and there Is talk of his sailing November .!.. Whatever the day set an open meeting of the conference will be ar ranged before he sails for the purpose of giving him an opportunity to make an elaborate statement on the whole of France's position, but especially her po sition on land armament. LASD ARMAMENTS CRUX The British make no secret of their belief that lan9armaments are the crux of the whole situation, as far as concerns Kurope In distinction to the Asiatic problem. This emphasis of the size of their army gets on the nerves of the French statesmen, and M. Brland will make a most eloquent attempt to Justify tho French feeling, even although it Is known that he himself Is not In agree ment with the prevailing French opinions about what constitutes safety. An Important part of the work of the American delegation Just now la avoid ing future difficulties. Senator Lodge has been In conference with those men In the senate who made up the group of Irreconcilable. Most Important of all. he haa seen Senator Borah and has reached what seems like a working sgreement with him. He assured Senator Borah that the arrangements made with regard to the Far Ksst would not take the form of an alllmnce. Also that the agreement for the limitation of naval armaments would be Introduced as a separate-measure. Borah's position Is that, while he stands strongly against alliances, he stands equally strongly In favor of agreements to reduce armaments. His position on the Far Kastern agreement will depend on how It Is drawn. He wants an agreement, but he does not want a commitment to any force on our part. .Just sa the administration Is trying to proceed In a way not antagonistic to tke Irreconcilable! in the senate, so Its policy on procedure In the various com mittee meetings Is to avoid sensitive points and rely for success on an atmos phere of friendliness and lack of mis trust. ' HCGH F.tt THROWS BOl QCKT9 For this reason Mr. Hughes, In con- ducting the session at hlch the Chi nese proposals were submitted, threw bouquets at everybody and endeavored to make the whole thing look not like a aeries of conflicting Interests, but like a Joint effort to think out a universal pur pose. That is the nearest answer that can be given at present to the constant question about whether the American delegation will publish a Chinese pro gram of Its own. It hopes that such a step can be avoided. Dally "peace cabinet" sessions have been Inaugurated by the British dele gation for the purpose of determining British Imperial policy on all questions arising out of the conference. Arthur Balfour or the next ranking delegate presides and chief experts are in attend ance. The Canadian. Australian and In dian delegates Intend also to speak for Ikelr respective countries. The secre tary of thes "peace cabinet" meetings IS Sir Maurice llankey. . Its delegation's deliberations are de scribed as being of the most Important character, the system adopted being found to be the moat expeditious one for reaching speedy agreements on all points within the delegation. Only Important new questions of prin ciples are referred to Downing street tor the guidance of the empire's represen tatives here. Q. Henry's Daughter Is Granted a Divorce From Cartoonist Reno, Nev..

There is consid erable evidence that the disarmament conference will lead America into a league V of nations. It may be a league' or it may even be an association of na tions, but when it is formed there will be no other "league" and the present member ship of the pres ent league will move into the new one and the only changes in the league will be in Its postoffioe ad dress and In Article X. The demand of China for a permanent body to sit and hear the complaints arising out of the disarmament agree ment calls attention to the fact that a poet-conference . council will be neces- ' sary In order to keep the peace. If the nations sitting In this conference form council for the adjudication of inter national differences among themselves. there is no reason why they should pay dues in the present league. OLD.Q5E GOOD EXOVGH And excepting the re-writing of Arti cle X to relieve it of certain implica tions that might be read into it. there is no reason why the United States should not accept the old league and go with its allied and associated powers to that league for the adjustments of the disputes which arise out of the forth coming pact when the pact is made. When Mr. Hughes said last year in the campaign, "We shall scrap the league," he was speaking: In' a purely Pickwickian sense. What he meant was we shall scrap the ships and go to the league to settle the difficulties that arise out of the scrapping of the ships. Free translations of hasty language often have to be made in one's calling hours by all statesmen. Harding may hire the same genius to keep us out of the league that Wilson found when he kept us out of war. PLASHED LOSG AGO At any rate the 31 good Republicans and true who signed the pro-league ap peal in September, 1920, seem to be find ing in this conference the substance of things hoped for. There can be no doubt that this conference was planned or at least seriously discussed by the presi dent before his inauguration. He hoped a year ago that it would be the be ginning of an international understand ing ; that it would lead to the associa tion that he said was needed in a broken world. He talked with some Of the men who signed the pro-league plea then and he told them his hopes. What the Chinese ask for today is one of the things which he had in his mind when, as president-elect, he and the pro-leaguers were talking of the way into the "association of nations. GOOD PARTY MEN Hughes, who was an earnest advocate of the Wilson league with mild reserva tions, is in the cabinet somewhat be Thanksgiving Turkeys Much Lower in Price Chicago. Nov. 18. (L K. S.)-r Thanksgiving turkeys will be plenti ful and will cost less in Chicago, ac cording to commission merchants. Best dressed turka which sold last year at 52 cents-a pound are selling now at 46 H cents. Live turks are priced at 38 cents. Prices of the "fixin's," including cranberries, celery, sweet potatoes and plum pudding, also are lower here, according to retail merchants. foreign policies are In agreement. And when this present conference closes, those who supported the president in the campaign a- year ago, because they felt that he would get America into the league or "a" league will be fairly well justified. As for the others the pacifist Demo crats went to war with Wilson four months after they elecftd him to stay out, anj the senate irreconcilables are too good Republicans to let the Demo crats beat them at party los-alty.

S. It would not be surprising to see the problem of land armaments passed on to the League of Nations with America silently assenting. Union such a course is chosen, the land armament problem is confidently expected by members of momentum given the . naval armament proposals Is such that every energy is being; exerted to reach an early agree ment Irrespective of everything else. Under the stimulus of such an accom plishment, the American delegation Is represented as feeling sure the Far Eastern Questions would be effectively adjusted. Land armament problems will. of course, . b discusses' by Premier Brland at an open session, but It begins to look doubtful whether the subject would be exhaustively considered 1 unless the naval armament and Par Eastern problems axe out of th way more quickly than Is expected.

Paris, Nov. 18. If "Bluebeard" Lan- dru can produce just one of the 11 women whom he is accused of hav ing murdered, as he has now been for mally invited to do by the court In Versailles, before which he is on trial for his life, he will. go free. The judge Thursday challenged Landru to bring into court one of those women any one ar to introduce credible evidence that any one of the 11 still lives. Should he do so, it is recognized by the prosecu tion that the case against him will col lapse. Goaded by the prosecutor, Landru asked 24 hours in which to give the present whereabouts of one of the women. He intimated that he might also reveal clues as to the whereabouts of several of the other women. Thursday's session, largely attended by famous or notorious theatrical charac ters of striking presence, dealt mainly with the disappearance of Madame Jaume, one of the women whom Lan dru is alleged to have wooed and killed. Denying that he represented Madame Jaume as his fiancee, Landru com plained to the judge : "I couldn't prevent these women from wanting to marry me." He said he had heard that Madame Jaume had gone to America, intending to return after one year. Once, he said he took her to mass at the Church of the Sacred Heart just before they left together for his so-called "murder villa' at Gambais, where the prosecution con tends he murdered her and incinerated the body. "I even put three sous on the plate, said Landru, in support of his claim to piety on that occasion. The invention of a phonograph needle lhat'will play 600 records without chang cause his views and the president's upon ing is the claim of a Missouri man. 'open door" in China. Whether such a convention should con tain an absolute guarantee of the terri torial integrity and administrative in dependence of China or whether the same object would be achieved by pledges to respect China's political in dependence, is still a matter of debate. But the big fact is that enough confi dence as to the probable solution of the question prevails as to lead the Ameri can delegation to show a willingness to sign the agreement on a reduction of naval armament without waiting for the adjustment of Far Eastern questions. FEAR SENATE ACTION British policy on the Anglo-Japanese alliance is revealed by Arthur James Balfour, who makes it plain that the Anglo-Japanese alliance would be su perfluous if all the powers entered into an agreement with respect to the Far East covering substantially the same points as,- were in the alliance. Mr. Balfour realizes that the word "alli ance is objectionable to American opinion and therefore the talk now is of an "agreement" Whether the con clusions reached should be embodied in a treaty to be submitted to the Ameri can senate or whether an exchange of notes at this conference would be suf ficiently binding is puzzling the Brit ish, who have seen the United States make executive agreements only to have them repudiated by the senate. SEE ENOUGH VOTES The influence at the moment, how ever, of President Harding t-nd Secre-, is such that an agreement made, at this conference stands a very good chance of being ratified by the senate, par ticularly as Senator Underwood, leader of the Democrats, could marshal enough votes to assist In getting the necessary two-thirds for ratification. Incidentally the Chinese proposals have. In the main, produced a favorable impression. It is realized that many points will have to be discussed, but the truth is, the Chinese were expected to ask for a great deal more. Their proposals are couched in language which many British and American officials think is an augury of a successful out come of the Far Eastern part of the conference. MIGHT SHIFT TO LEAGUE As for land armaments, there is a movement afoot to transfer the entire question to the League of Nations. This originated out of a chance remark of a member of the British delegation who, in discussing the question of the land arma ments, pointed out significantly that the League of Nations already has a com mittee at work on land armaments. In asmuch as' both the United States and Great Britain have reduced their armies to a relatively small size, the question American might after all participate In a discussion of land armament as well as the stability of Europe from an eco nomic rather than a political viewpoint SETTLE ONE THING The attitfde of the American delega tion, however. Is to settle one thing at a time and nail It down. Thus the Henry Ford's Offer On Muscle Shoals Is Virtually Acpepted By Herbert -Vf. Walker (Copjricht. 1111. br raJud Tjmt Washington, Nov. IS.
