Shel- don Whltehouse. counselor of the American Embassy, called nt the French Foreign Office today and talked with II. De Peretti dc la Uocca. di rector of political affairs, on the possi bility of holding a conference on dis armament. Mr. Whltehonse delivered no document in this connection, merely engaging In a tentntlve conversation on the subject. Official comment on President Hard ing's initiative for n conference on the t limitation of armaments Is withheld pending receipt of the invitation, but unofficial opinions gathered in official circles, are to the effect thnt France certainly will accept the Invitation if one is received. The attitude of the French (Jovern ment, however, is said to bo unchanged since it was set'forth in the assembly of the League of Nations Inst December .by I.eon Bourgeois, France, It is ex plained, is read)- and would be glad to reduce her armaments nnd save the henvy expense involved as soon as she can safely do so, but nny decision on thiti question must depend upon abso lute security from the East. Inquiries in official circles disclose tne. lmprewrton thnt such security Ims not yet been obtnined. The t'nner Sileman troubles and the Nationalist reaction in certain parts of Germany are cited as indications that the time has not yet come when France enn Wifely" weaken hernelf In the face of I User riinlo Hefvlie Million Kngllsli mid Khed.i Itrirh. of (ilrl Scouts Troop No. 42, who arc among those who plan to enjoy nil outing under canvas at Lnnghnrnc Ctcrmnny. French opinion is pnrticulnrlj exercised over the continued agitation b the German mnnlfcstnnts, who re mained in Upper Silesia after the evneuation by tho German forces under General Von Hocfer. In this connection It is declnred thnt since the iissassinntlon of Major Montn- lleres nt Beuthen lnet week two French officers there hnve been besieged in their quarters hy menacing crowds, being saved only nj the intervention of the police, while French officiul dispatches declure thnt of the 40,000 troops who were under General on Hocfer In Up per Silesia only 20,000 were with- drnwn. Of the, 20,000 wild to he rc mniuing, half are non-iesidents of Up per Silesia, and these are understood to be tho elements which nre continuing the nuti-Pollsh ngitatlon nnd ineuncing the ! rench troops and their otucers.

TRIPARTITE PACT FAVORED IN JAPAN Toklo. July 11. (By A. P.) An agreement by the United States, Great Britain nnd .Inpan on Pacific problems ns n desirable precursor or accompani ment to nny renewal of the Anglo-Japanese alliance is finding favor with Japanese publicists, who seem to believe thut negotiations to that end hnve been started. (This dispatch was filed before the announcement in Washington of Presi dent Ilariling'b informal invitation to (treat Ilrituln, France, Italy and Japan to pnrticipnte In a conference on limi tation of armaments.) The Chugal Shogyo Shfmpo, the or gan of the business world, declnics thnt the Anglo-Japanese alliance would only hae significance If dltected ngnlnst the United States. "If renewal of the nl liiince is merely for internntlonnl eti quette." the newspaper snys, "we can not but think it meaningless. We be lieve it is more urgent to conclude n tripartite agreement on Pacific ques tions." The llochi Shlmbun believes the United States could adhere to an en tente founded on nrmament restriction. It urges Jnpnn to concentrate Its ef forts toward securing such an agree ment, declaring It behoves there is no need of nn offensive and defensive alli ance with Great Britain. The Yoml-Url Shlmbun thinks it im perative for Japan to secure an under standing w;itli the United States con cerning Japanese policies in the Pacific. The Jlji Shlmppo snys Japan would be rendy to pnrticipnte in a conference on disnrmnment should President Ilnrding cnli one. Lloyd George to . Discuss U. S.

The preliminaries which Ird up to President Harding's Invitation nre un derstood shere to have Involved a long conversation between Ambassador Har vey nnd Ird fJurxoti nt the Foreign Office Inst Thursday nt which the whole question wn discussed. As a result of ibis the Ambassador was able to In .form the Washington Government, It appears, thnt the time was ripe for n formal declaration on the pnrt of the United States. Tho London press todny emphasized the port the Dominion Premiers played In forcing the issue, and tile Evening Standard. In Its news nrtlcle, lhiks the name of Nicholas Murray Butler, pres ident of CAlttmbln University, with the present development, mentioning him as having "come over ostensibly for n hoi iday. but In reality to knit the links of understanding' with Ambassador Hnrvev on the one hnnd nnd Lord ( ur zon on the other as representing the two Governments." Comment In tho evening newspapers todav on the move mnde by Pres i ent Ilnrding wns mostfavorable. President Ilnrding. says the Evening News, may be assured that his preliminary Inquiry s welcome bv none more than by the people of Great Britain. The pre liminary conference, If jt is held, win hnve no ensv fnsk, continues the news paper, ami nothing could be more perilous thnn to allow It to he con ducted on the "muddle through bnblj of the Pnrls Peace Conference. Hope for Ijistlng Peace "We must all go into It with a de tcrminntlon to piny for the Instlng peace of the world rather thnn en en plnv n lone hand," tho Evening News declares, "nnd If the President's de sires nre realized by n fnlr nnd per fectly possible llmltntion of nimninonts the British peoples will bo ns ready ns America to do him honor." The Westminster Gnzctto in Its com ment snys: "No power can more earnestly de sire this conference to take place than ourselves and none can more un feignedly rejoice thut America should take the lead."

It nrRiies that lifter thp strvlcc8 rendered by ilapan in tho war It would bo not only un grateful, but exceedingly unwise to cut tho nlllnucc without aubstltutlng any thing else, nnd It coimldora it noFHlblo that Japan, If left an a free lance In the racMc, might play tn part that Turkey played in Europe. rropows Bast and West Concordat After pointing ou that other Eautcrn Interents are watching the .position in the Pacific intently, the newspaper concludes by adrocatlng the avoidance "of this harsh division of East nnd Wct, which tho mero denunciation of the treaty would produce," nnd it tccommonda that there be sought "a concordat to which the East and the West shall Jointly subscribe." It thinks this is clearly what President Harding had In mind when summoning the powers to confer with the United Htntcs, and adding that China had also been Invited to take part in the discus sions relative to Far Eastern problems. The Pall Mall Gazette dwells upon the essential inclusion of China In the discussions on the ground that China furnishes the main problem in the Pacific. There must be no more, It aH, of that exploitation of countries nnd peoples which led to tho wars nnd rivalries between tho powers In the past, "and if Chlna'ii integrity nnd sovereignty nre assured and Eastern Siberia is guaranteed against aggres sion, we sec no reason why the develop ment of the Far East should not con tinue npaco without fear of the powers coming to blows." In an editorial this morning on the dlsnrmamont question the Times says there can be no doubt that President Harding's conference proposal "will bo ?ladly and promptly accepted by the Iritlsh Government with the full con currence of the Dominions In the some spirit In which It has been made." "The task of the nrouosed conference will he as delicate, and, unless discern ingly approached, as dangerous as any (lint nny conference ever nsaayed to discharge," the Times adds. "Not even the Peace Conference nt Paris had to face issues vaster or fraught with greater possibilities of good and evil to the world." Harvey Sees Dominion Premiers Referring further to tho Paris con ference, the TiraJs continues: "Its lack of mcthqd, its practice of approaching haphazard most complicated problems nnd Its error In allowing the heads'of Governments' to address themselves flrst-hnnd to matters thnt ought to have been carefully threshed out in advance by expert subordinates, made it a byword (among all who understand the importance of sound racthbd nnd careful procedure." ... Tho Mall declares that the Presi dent's incMflge surpasses in Importance nil other current d6ln(fs of whatever moment, nnd describes It as "practi cally nn appeal to the human rnce to lmvo done with wars," The Telegraph calls It nn act of first historical significance, adding that the Presldent'B'cqrncstncHs .of purpose and breadth of vision will be received with the warmest tribute. The Dally Express declares: "It is a bright augury for the pence of the whole world that the President boa now dissolved the fog of mystery which hung over the question of International dis armament. This country will gladly respond to tlie call." The action of the President of the United States will unquestionably be received In nil quartern of England with jijliiimj nuuniut.iiuii nut, viii) ,in HU- count of its promising relief from the!" tremendous burden of taxation, but also because It wiU ludlrcctly supply aisolu tlon, it is hoped, to the difficulties sur rounding the problem of the Anglo JnpnncM) Alliance. THE DAILY NOVELETTE A Successful Failure ny FREDERICK HART When Margaret Anderson started the "Illue Rose" Ten Room sho had no premonition of failure. The neighbor hood where she had rented her .two small rooms was quiet but populous; there seemed to her to be a good chance for a lnco that njlvcrtlscd homo cooking nnd- dainty surroundings. Hho had n llttlo money enough, she wns sure, to keep jolng until the credit side of her very new ledger should show a balance In-her fnvor. Her cook ing she wns sure of, her home train ing had made her wnflles famous. The expenses of the first Installa tion wcro heavier than sho had imagined ; her helpor demanded pay ment in advance nnd lnrgo payment nt that; the furnituro she bought at second-hand stores, her good taste standing bcr In good stead; silver, china, etc. ; kitchen supplies she had a very slender balance left In tho bank when she had finished writing the checks. ' Bui for 'the (lrst two week of her month people coma In streams to the little tea.rD.btn.ns they always do to a new place, nnd Margaret b (in varvlng service and the fame of her wnflles carried her through the break ers triumphantly. . Among i.thc customers whom she had begun to1 designate ns "regulars" was a young man who nppeared for two meals brenkfast and dinner every day. He was punctual to the minute 8 o'clock sharp for breakfast, 7:15 In the evening for dinner. He was quiet and polite nnd never Joked with her or with Hilda, tho maid, ns some of tho others did ; this fact Mnrgnrct sub consciously notil In his fnvor. Ho spent his breakfast time looklpg over the morning paper, nnd his evening meal seemed to be devoted ns much to figuring ns tntlng; he would draw diagrams on n slip of paper which he Invariably carried in his pocket, eat ing mechanically the while; Margaret even experienced n feeling, of pique as be once' allowed her waffles to get cold, so absorbed was he in his strange hieroglyphics. One morning well on In the third month of Mnrgnret's venture, he ap peared fls usual for breakfast; the day pnssed; 7 o'clock arrived and tho tables began to fill; 7:lfi nnd Mar garet found herself looking nt the door, expecting her "star boarder," as she called him in her mind. But he did not nppear. "You silly thing!" sho snid. ad dressing herself "He's nothing to jou. What do you caro whether or tiot ho comes here again? Ho's yes. sir: eighty, ninety, one dollar good night!'7 This last aloud to a departing custqmcr. But ho wna not thcro tho next morn ing, nor nil thnt day. In fact, nnd when two dnys had passed without his leappearance Mnrgnret gave him up for lest and attended to her other cus tomers. His depnrturo seemed to have n bad effect on her fortune, however, for when sho balanced her boons nt tho mil of the month she found herself fnc Ing a deficit. Her siicccs during tho curlier days of her venture lind been m n large degire the rcsiilt of iho curiosity which lends people to try new plnccn; and even the vxcellcnce of her wnflles hnd not been able to bold many of tho polato-wcary pnssersby who hnd comn ns nn experiment.
