 The reason straw hats would cost more, members said, was that hat makers in Japan who used to work twelve hours a day for 10 cents a day before the war are now getting from s15O to $2 a day. This years style in straws, it was said, would be. a hat with a low crown and a broad brim made of braided straw.

Premier Nitti reached San Reno a day ahead of time to, receive the dele gations-
 The conference wEI haEs. asF its program an endesvor to settEe three or four of the great problems now disturbing Europe Ona eg theaa is what action shall be taken respecting the carrying out of the treaty of Ve1'- sailIes so that it may be made plain to Germany that the allies regard it as a binding instrument. Others are the determination of the future of the Turkish empire and the final framing of the Hungarian peace treaty. The Adriatic settlement is also a possible subject for considera- ton, while the international exchange problem is another likely to be con sidered.
 Premier Nitti was at the railway station before o'clock this morning to receive Camille Barrere, the. French ambassador to Italy, Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain and Field Marshal Sir Henry Hughes Wilson, chief of the British Imperial Army Staff, arrived by autom obile from MarSefIRs, with their staffs, in time for luncheon.
