WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.--The
great powers completed their pre
parations today forj the confer
ence on limitation of armaments.
Tonight their ... representatives
set aside as a period ot mourning
for America's soldier dead the
hours remaining before the con
ference assembly Saturday. 1
The last of the major delega
tions was completed by the day's
arrivals, who included A. J. Bal
four, head of the British group
until the coming of Lloyd George,
and additional delegates from
New Zealand, Australia and
Italy. : s
Only the delegation from Por
tugal, which Is to arrive tomor
row, was missing tonight. , ,
Advisory Board Ready,.
Notable among the day's con
ferences among the representa
tives of the Individual natlona
was a meeting of the advisory
committee named - by President
Harding to "advise ; and assist"
the American delegates.
The committee completed Its
organization. .
By, exchanges among the par
ticipating nations, j final agree
ment was reached on the program
for the opening day, last-minute
touches , were added, to physical
arrangements in the conference
hall and every -detail j of the prep
arations was completed. .
Plans for the opening session
will start the conference with a
minimum of frills. - Secretary
Hughes will bring tho delegates
to order, there will be prayer,
fresiaent Harding will make a
short address, a .chairman will be
chosen, and the conference will
go to work. ' President Harding
will entertain the : delegates at
dinner at the White House. Sat
urday night.
Proposal Is Framed
Unless all surface indications
are deceiving, the United States
alone will be ready to come for
ward at the outset with a con
crete proposal for armament lim
itation. . A " . j j j
This plan, relating primarily to
naval problems, therefore, ap
pears to be destined to become
the first important topic of ne
gotiation, although counter pro
posals are expected to be brought
in later and the discussion Is be
lieved likely to lead the confer
ence quickly into a consideration
of various far-flung questions of
diplomatic policy.
As the opening uoUr approaches
there Js manifest av feeling of
growing optimism ainoni many
delegates, cpupled. with a- deter
mination not to permit the con
ference to stray into troublesome
fields with which it has no con
cern. The British delegation is
making its plans for a six weeks'
session, and most of the other
groups are almost as hopeful of
quick accomplishment.
All Interests Involved
Through six sub-committees
the advisory body expects not only
to keep the four -principal, dele

reactions ' but also to t help the
American people grasp the sig
