1t was learned today that Ben Sen

while lunching in Breslaus DELEGATES
sen and lunchroom, near 18th street
and Columbia road. Angry words
passed between the two Chinese, and
while the heated discussion was at its
height DR.. Wong and Hsie entered
the place. DR.. Wong spoke quietly
to the two young men and, without
sitting down, left the place at once.
Hsie accompanied him.
The distinguished educator and his
ycung assistants frequently went to
Breslau's for lunch and with the ex-
ceution of Wan all were well known to
the management.
The day following the scene de-
scribed above Dr.. Wong and his two
assistants appeared as usual for lunch,
but Wan was not with them
When the trio did not visit the place
on Thursday their absence WAS COM
mented upon.

PLANS TO FEATURE
WELCOME PARADE
Latest Suggestion Is That
Uniformed Men of Allied
Nations Take Part.
AlRSHIP NOVELTY IN VIEW

Almost every day is marked by
some novel and appropriate sugges-
ton made regarding washington's
welcome Home" parade. announced
tentatively for February % and ar
ranged in honor of returned District
of Columbia veterans and the re-
turning President of the United
States. The latest suggestion is the
inclusion in the line of march of
allied nations.
1t is obvious that these groups
should be of size sufficient to make
their participation impressive and
creditable to the country concerned.
II is thought. however, that at least
two, and possibly three, of the ma
tions associated with the United
States in the war can, on request, pro-
duce soldiers and sailors detailed on
duty here in numbers sufficient to
make good-sized platoon.
Many Men Believed Available.
There are apparently a good many
of the British and Canadian armies in
Washington. serving as orderlies. etc,
to the British military mission. There
are several members of the British
marine corps on duty at the embassy,
also. while the sight of the uniforms
OF the various branches of the army
OF France is common one on the
streets.
There are probably also a great
IN M aafN>-r
ncers IN both services than there are
soldiers. If the former would be
aVa1iable to march, the success of
these allied groups would be assured
The third nation suggested is Italy,
although its military representatives
are not SO numerous as are those of
Britain and France.
The suggestion of including these
groups has been made to Robert ".
harper. chairman of the executive
committee in charge of the celebra-
ton, and. it Is understood. meets with
his personal approval 1t is considered
probable that he will bring it up for
discussion before the next weekly con-
ference of the heads of all subcom-
mittees scheduled for Wednesday aft
ernoon.
Aircraft Feature Proposed.

parade, and one which Chairman Har-
per Is assured is perfectly feasible
is to have aircraft take part. geared
to run slowly on the ground, Just as il
they were motor cars. A string of
these coming UP the Avenue would
undoubtedly be more than impressive
and would give many Washingtonians
their first chance to see such machines
at close range.
Mr.. Harper today visited the White
House to see what is known there
concerning the accuracy of the re-
port that President Wilson will leave
France February Ia, date just
about right for the holding of the
welcoming ceremonies on Washing
toms birthday. Nothing official was
known at the Executive Mansion,
however, and Chairman Harper this
afternoon wrote Secretary TumuIty,
who is out of the city, for any def
mite information he may have or can
procure.
The committee on civic organiza-
tions, Charles w. Darr, chairman, will
hold a special meeting tonight at the
Chamber of Commerce to receive
definite reports as to the plans for
participation of those organizations
and to arrange and tabulate them for
Wednesdays conference

Of which have a violent death" pen

That the local crimes resemble the
traditional violent deaths" OF the
Triad secret socity of China is said
20 be certain. The Triad" society is
the oldest and most famous of all the
secret organizations OF that country.
Its origin is so remote that its book
OF rites contains the statement that
II has existed since the foundation
OF the earth" The real name OF the
Triad is Tien-Ti Hwey. or the Hong
League; the name Triad comes frofa
San Hoop Hwey. the popular name
given the organization.
The Triad is governed by five grand
masters. equal to one another in su-
thority. The lodges are ruled by
subordinate masters. whose power is
absolute. Members are required to
take an oath of implicit obedience.
and to promise mutual protection, aid
ana brotherly love. The members are
known to fellow members by an elab-
crate system of signs, so numerous
and expressive of so many different
meanings that communication between
the members of the Triad is easily
carried on with no fear of detection

Such problems as have presented

woke the least friction in the future
ss,are reached. 1t is believed, however,
s.ssno mandatory principle of interna-

sEcan be extended to present points of
hfsfriction in Europe.
As result of plan to avoid conflict
. between particular nations over ports

Il Thus progress will be made in the

Having abandoned the idea of han

= Owing to the temper of the British
apeople. as exemplifed in series of
strikes sweeping England at this mo-
sment. not much more time can be lost
: by Lloyd George in reaching definite
conclusions. with quick subsequent
aetion demanded by the people.
@Ciemepceau also is beset with per-
picking problems of economic nature.
The people of France have begun to
fret at the slowness of the govern
ment in carrying out a definite scheme
Of reconstruction and reha ton of
industries. AS an Illustration of the
.Fituation, the government permits no
snews of English labor upheavals to
sbe printed in the French press.
e ReStlessneSs exists in other coun-
tries of Europe. notably Italy, and
f1his is heightened by the apparent
Jack OF progress of the peace con-
s4erence. That much of this may be
sdissipated by governmental pro-
.Hunciamendos and favorable results
at the peace conference in the near
3uture is probable.
