Washington, July 6.-Francis P.
Garvan, assistant attorney general
who Is acting also as alien property
custodian, announced that more than
$150,000,000 will be returned Imme
diately to American women who be-
fore the war were married to German
or Austrian subjects, on application.
This represents about one-fourth of
all the property remaining in the
hands of the custodian.
The American fortunes of former
German and Austrian subjects, who
have by virtue Of the treaty of Yer
SaiiIeS become citizens of the new ma
tionalities formed out of the two en-
pireS. will also be returned. So will

nterned and the property Of the for
mer German embassy in Washington.
This action is the result of an
amendment to the trading with the
enemy act passed by congress on June
; The amendment itself was the out
come of an agitation carried on by
friends of American women, conspicu-
ously Mrs SaIlie Grocer Hilprecht,
wife of DR.. Herman V. Hilprecht, the
former head of the department of ar
cheology at the University of Penn
sylvania, that the losses they had suf-
fered by government confiscations
during the war be made good.
Several bills were introduced to
restore these women to the full rights
of citizenship, but it was finally de-
cided by the leaders of the house that
the purpose could be best effected by
amending the trading with the enemy

Washington. Dec: 14.--The British

Communications Conference have left
for home. Their departure is ex-
pected to result in an indefinite recess
BY the delegates representing the United
States, Japan. France and Italy.
The British delegates left late last
night after the close of the penary
session. The reason assigned by them
for their departure was understood to

that settlement of the difficulties
which have arisen over the disposition
of the former German cables was i'm

The United States strongly opposed

tain discriminatory powers exercised by
the allied nations in possession of the
former German cables removed MS soon
as possible. Out Of Difference to this
position II was understood that at the
meeting last night provisional agree
ment was drawn up respecting the use
of the former German cables by the
Ave allied and associated powers which
1t was proposed should come INTO oper-
alton Immediately.
This agreement was approved by the
representatives of four of the five pow
ers and approval by the fifth power Is
expected at the session today. A holi-
day recess then would be taken.
In order that the points in dispute
among the delegates may not be alto
gether shelved during the recess, the
United States has proposed that the
ambassadors of the four allied coun-
tries be delegated to continue the dis
eussions in case Of necessity, pending
the return Of the delegates from con-
sultation with their governments.
