HARPER TO ASK
BAKER FOR DATA
Hopes to Learn If District
Troops VIII Return Next
Month.

With view to ascertaining
whether the 1000 or more members
of the old Third Infantry Regiment
of the District National Guard, who
have been designated for early con-
voy home, will sail in time to take
part in the welcome home parade
scheduled for the latter part of next
month, Col. Robert n. Harper. chair
man Of the committee in charge, will
confer with Secretary Baker at 1880
o'clock tomorrow morning.
Chairman Harper also will ask
Secretary Baker whether other units
representative of the District will
be ordered home in time to take
part in the demonstration.
One of Difficulties.
One Of the difficulties in arranging
for a dOUble-barreled home
celebration is now cropping up. The
committee decided to have its well
come home for its returned soldiers
on the day it welcomes home the re-
turning President Of the United States.
President Wilson will sail for home
on February Is. While recent inquiries
at the War Department reveal that
although the division to which the old
Third Infantry is attached has been
designated for convoy, it may be
many moons before it actually sails.
So far the District soldiers who
have returned from France and can
participate in the parade are a scant
dozen or more Casuals. In addition,
there will be a number of District
men who were discharged from the
camps.

Following is the resolution:
The conference having consid-
cred the proposals for the creation

guards against war
This league should be created
as an integral part of the general
treaty of peace and should be
open to every civilized nation

mote its objects. The members
of the league should periodic
ally meet in international confer
cnce and should have a perma-
nent organization and secretariat

tails of the constitution and
functions of the league.

Third, the degree of RESPONSE
