CHINESE DELEGATE
TO QUIT PARLEY
(Continued from page l:)
no disposition to entertain an en
tente proposal at least at present.
Later such a suggestion may re
ceive 'consideration, provided it
includes no requirements counter
to American public opinion.
Upon high authority it was said
today that the naval problem as
it was referred to Tokio involves
no proposal for a political agree
ment, but is concerned solely
with the naval and military as
pects of the situation. The Amer
ican delegation adheres to its ex
pectation that the naval issue
would be settled without condi
tioning the decision on a political
rearrangement- '
Admiral - Baron Kato of the
Japanese delegation said tonight,
however, that the naval question
involved issues of far reaching ef
fect upon the national and inter
national life of Japan and upon
the policies of great powers for
decades to come and perhaps per
manently. These issues, he said,
should! be brought to the full
knowledge and consideration of i
bis government. j
Delay in presenting Japan's de
finite position on ratio, he de-!
clared, is due wholly to the diffi
culties of cable communication
and the desire of his government
to act circumspectly in so impor
tant a decision.
Nfeantime the conference out
wardly is concerning itself with
questions of collateral significant1.
The committee on 'draft, headel
by Elihu Root, today debated for
eign telegraph and radio facilities
In China, virtually deciding tc
bring in a resolution providing
that as many of these facilities as
exist without treaty sanction shall
have onlv a curtailed use here
after. The Shantung conversa
tions, proceeding between Japan
and China, were advanced another
step, bnt developed no important
decision.
The committee of the whole on
the far east to meet Wednesday,
and an open session of the con
ference may be held late in the
week.
Th3' American belief that the
naval question can be settled in
dependent of political issues, ap
parently is not readily accepted
in all quarters. A Hrit'sh spokes
man recently declared that in the
British view the naval and Far
Eastern problems were bound up
in the same sbeaf. and there has
Leen indications of a like opin
ion among soma Jaanese.
It is considered poss'ble that
in the period of waiting the two
threads of negotiations may be
come so tangled in the foreign
capitols as to give American dele
gates consideraole trouble in sep
arates them when the discus
sions here are resumed.
The proposal for a four power
entente as now advanced, is con
sidered an outgrowth of the sug
gestion of Davil Lloyd George,
made several weeks ago in parlia
ment, that the Washington con
ference might well consider merg
ing the Anglo-Japanese alliance
into on arrangement to which the
United States would be a party.
The Japanese have shown an in
clination to take up that proposal
and it has been mentioned more
than oace to the American dels-gates.
These hints have never brought
the subject to the point of a for
mal exchange of views, how
ever.
In every consideration of a pos
sible treaty or international un
derstanding to replace the alli
ance, the American delegates
have kept in mind the possible
temper of the senate should it
be asked to ratify such an agree-

Charming her large audience
with ber sweetness and her dain
tiness, then thrilling them with
her marvelously sweet and flute
like voice. Mabel Harrison Vn-i
raptured all who heard her last
ntght.
In her concerts she has earned
the reputation of presenting a
Dresden doll-picture, but it is a
doll with the liveliest kind of
musical intelligence and a voice
of the most beautiful flute-like
clearness. The young Haltimore
soprano is extremely pretty, and
she has a smile that says to the
audience: "Now we are all the
best of friends and we are going
to have a wonderful, happy time
together."
Miss Garrison sang first, aria
"Polonaise je suis Titania,"' from
Mignon, which won insistent ap

Pre -War Prices Are Here
The Woolen Mill Store Has Something to Say
At no time in the history of the mercantile business, in spite of the fact that all lines of men's
clothing and wearing apparel cannot be produced cheaper and with wool and cotton advanc
ing there is no prospect for any permanent decline, there has never been such an irresistible
pressure for low priced goods. Producers of all kinds are raising their products and selling
them for cost and in many instances for less than cost Many men are out of work and many
are working at reduced wages. Inasmuch as such conditions exist, the Salem Woolen Mills
Store believes that it should take its losses along wih its many patrons and with this in view
the management has selected the essential articles in men's wear such as Men's Suits, Boys'
Suits, Wool Shirts, Khaki Pants, Overalls, Sweaters and Shoes and has reduced the prices to
meet the demand for pre-war prices. These goods are not selected from job stuff for a special
mark off but are from our regular stock.
MEN'S SUITS
These Men's Suits that we are offering are made
of Oregon wool by our local mills and the Eugene
mills and are what are commercially called all
wool. They cost from $15.50 to $16.50. We
have priced them at $ 1 7.50. These Oregon made
fabrics are sure to please.
BOYS' SUITS
These Boys' Suits are made out of the same suit
ings and of the same quality as the men's. Prices
are $7.50, $7.75, $8.00, $8.25 and $8.50. These
are sold at exactly 25c above the manufacturer's
price.
SHIRTS
Our own make, axbsolute Virgin iWool Shirts.
Every one knows of our 0. D. Flannel Shirts. No
shirt is made that gives better satisfaction. Sold
last year at $6.00, war tax additional. This year
we have two lots at $4.00 and $5.00, war tax
additional
KHAKI PANTS
Two lines, one bought to sell at $2.50 and $3.00.
If bought at the present market they would have
to be sold at $3.00 and $3.50. Our price is
$1.75 and $2.25.
WHIPCORD RIDING
PANTS
Former price $5.00. New price $3.75
with double, knee and seat
BOYS' SWEATERS
Former price $5 to $5.50. New price
$3.75.
MEN'S OVERALLS
Bishop Special a standard overall
made for us. About 5000 pairs have
been sold from this store in the last eight
year with only three complaints. $1.00
a pair for regular sizes.
MEN'S SHOES
If there one thing more than another
that the price of has been complained
about it is shoes. After weeks of care
ful investigations we Jiave accomplished
something in the way of a quality shoe at
a price that will regulate the price of
shoes for some time. This shoe is made
under our own specifications and is
known as Bishop Special. The price
is $5.00.
