The Atlanta Journal News Bureau.
623 Riggs Builling.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Inquiry
Of the secretary of war was made to-
day by Senator William J. Harris,
of Georgia, as to the reason for the
regulation not granting the same al
lowances for communication Of quar-
tiers. heat and lights to national
guard officers on active duty at army
schools as granted other classes OF
officers. Senator Harris said cases
had arisen at Camp Benning, Ga.
Further inquiry of the war depart
ment was made by Senator Harris
regarding information that national
guard officers on duty at the school
were not given the pay of their
grade while on active service. One
case is where a national guard ma
jor receives the pay of a captain,
said Senator Harris.

$ WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-In call
:. ing the conference on the limitation
of ornaments the government Of the
United States had two specific OBJ
jects in view The first was to bring
about substantial, practical agree
. ment for a limitation of armament
ION land and sea and to secure, If
possible, an agreement on policies
which will govern the conduct of
the signatories hereafter in the Far
FEast. The other objective was to de-
Wyelop in the event of a failure TO
( bring about any or all of these agree
Z ments, the reasons why these results
could not be obtained. In the rapid
Exchange and presentation Of poll
cies during the past few days, the
question has frequently been asked
by representatives of the foreign
powers now in Washington whether
anything has happened to change

delegation. The answer is, mo.
This answer has been made especi-
ally plain in the matter Of naval
disarmament and it has been made
partially clear in Mr.. Hughes obser-
vations relative to land. disarma-
ment.
Even in the United States there
was considerable cutlery when land
disarmament was included in the
agenda of the present conference.
Nevertheless, the American delega-
ton had a real purpose in bringing
the question before the conference
and Premier BRAND, of France, yes
terday fulfilled it by laying the cards
9of France face up on the table
While Mr.. BRAND laid special stress
on the failure of Germany and pos
osibly Russia to attain moral dis
armament" as the principal reason
for Frances land armament, neither
being represented here, Mr.. Hughes
defined the main issue as will to
peace and closed with the sugges-
ton that those nations which desire
peace should be allowed to have it.
ias So far as general principles in
yolved in the Far Eastern questions
are concerned, the American delega-
) ton has not swerved an inch in its
adherence to the "open door equal
opportunity for all nations or on
.....the territorial integrity OF admin.
istrative entity O China" None OF
these terms have ever been spec1-
.fically defined by an international
] conference, but have always been
accepted Sin principle" which is
their present status before this con
ference. Despite previous adher-
fences sin principle" however, sub
astantialIy every one Of these prin-
cipIes has been violated in letter or
in spirit since they were first promul-
ngated. 1t is the intent and purpose
of the American delegation to profit
by the experience of the past in de-
filming what these principles mean,
Whether the conference is to undo
what has been done or will content
itself with new definitions for the
future has not yet been decided.

LOS ANGELES:-Love may be
masked and may be led to the altar
by blind god and yet be discrim1-
nate enough to insure lasting hap
piness.
Such was the whimsical convic'
ton of George H. Mexican, an in
ventor Of Santa Ana, Cal, and Ivy
Boyd, of Omaha when they marched
to their nuptials here with features
concealed, to see each other for the
first time after two years of cor
respondence courtship at the mo-
ment of wedding.
Neither had even seen a photo
of the other.
Ivy Boyd worked in a Chicago
mail order house as a packer. She
was lonesome. She knew no nice
men. She was tempted to gamble
with love.
Note Starts 1t
So-she pinned a note to a hand
kerchief in a box to be sent to
George Mexican, at Santa Ana, Cal.
She felt he must be a bachelor or
widower. If he had a wife, she
would. pick out his ''hankies," she
reasoned. .a:. b.
Mexican responded and a two
year correspondence ensued.
They never exchanged photo
graphs. Mexican was as willing to
be plunger in loves lottery as
Miss Boyd, who felt she had secured
a keen insight into her future hus-
bands character through his hand
writing.
California laws require both par
ties to apply for the marriage IL
cense, so these two met for the tlrst
time at the bureau where such per-
mits are issued. But even then
neither knew what the other look
ed like, for both were masked.
Public Wedding So
Fred H. Solomon, Los Angeles
dance king, gave them 500 Tor
marrying in his pavilion. He want
ed them to marry blindfolded. They
were game, but no minister OF the
gospel could be found to tie the
knot under such conditions. So 1t
was agreed they should unmask
one minute before the ceremony.
IT was the one-hundredth wedding
to be staged at Solomon's, and a
big crowd had assembled. -
From one end of the big public
hall room came Mclean, attended
bv his mother. From the other
came Miss Boyd, attended by girl
friend.
The masked man and the masked
woman stood before each otner.
They hesitated, then slowly they re-
moved the black dominos.
Neither gave evidence Of sur
prise. A minute later they were
man and wife.
And now they're honeymooning
somewhere down near the Mexican
border. For Fred Solomon, in adj
dition to giving them 500 wed
ding present threw in an alrplane
honeymoon.
Here's what they said after the
wedding:
The Groom-"Life is all a gam
BILE. We do not choose our own
parents; we do not decide when we
are to die. Why not gamble in love!
Looks mean little. Talk is cheap
No man and woman can really know
each other until they are married.
ST have gambled with fate all my
life, and I believe that nay greatest
piece of luck came to me when
married a girl whose face I had new
er seen until minute before we
were married" ". ~
The Bride-"Although I saw my
husbands face for the first time just
before the minister made us one,
believe I have keen insight into
his character from his handwriting
in the letters he has sent me. Char
| acter is more important than fea
| lures.
1T believe Fate sent me to my hus
band and with the confidence that
we are predestined partners for life

WEEKLY REVIEW
GRAIN MARKET

Chicago. Dec 5.--Wheat has ad-
vanced in price this week owing
largely to estimates indicating that
the condition OF the domestic winter
crop is the lowest ever met Com
pared with a week ago wheat prices
this morning showed 1Ac to 2l2c
gain with corn unchanged to lhc
lower, oats unchanged to l2c q 3sc
down, and provisions varying from
re decline to a rise Of $l.lO. At
times the wheat market displayed
activity on large scale, with a
material increase of trade from the
outside. Bullish sentiment was first
stimulated by reports that smallness
Of the rice crop in Japanese and
China would cause buying of wheat
! for those countries. Heavy talllng
| off in the estimated eXportable sur
/ plus OF Australia was also given sup
port attention 1t was only. however,
when remarkable Kansas crop figures
were published and after when a
| leading authority here suggested that
the United States winter crop taken
as whole would be reduced to 415
900, 900 bushels last year that the
more decided gains in price for the
week were effected. On the other
hand, rains in Texas and Kansas as
well as in Southern Argentina tended
as the week drew to a close.
Predictions that colder weather
would bring about enlarged receipts
of corn were burdens on the price OF
corn and oats.
Pork jumped much higher owing
to scantiness of stock on hand, lard
and ribs, tho, were but little changed
