Waahlnrton, Not.' 1. 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

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

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.

Washington, Nov. 18. 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

ship of the pres
ent league will

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 will be plenti

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.

It would not be surprising to see the

to the League of Nations with America

is chosen, the land armament problem
is confidently expected by members of
momentum given the . naval armament
proposals Is such that every energy is

BLUEBEARD
GIVEN
HAN
E FOR LIFE
By Hndson Hawley
United News Staff Correspondent.
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.

'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

tion, however. Is to settle one thing
