Leading hotels now require a

ample: "Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Fair

When the wife is the more promi-

her own name first, ass, Miss Mary

ARMS SESSION
AGAIN AROUSED
HardinS'S Views Differ From
Those Of American Delegates

Washington, Dec. Fl (By Associated
Press -Development Of the difference
IN view between President Harding
and the American arms delegation of
the new four power Pacific treaty and
break in the Chinese Japanese ne
gotlations on Shantung had thrown
the naval side of the arms conference
program today somewhat into the
background. Acceptance by France
Of the American proposal Of IT'S, 900
tons, in capital ships had placed the
naval negotiations on a comparative
" smooth road again although the
French reservations for a higher ratio
in small defensive craft still remained
to be treated
Announcing that he had mo OBJ
lection to the construction of the
Pacific treaty agreed TO by American
delegates that it shall apply to the
principal islands of the Japanese en-
pire, President Harding declared In a
formal statement, issued after he had
expressed the opinion in an interview
with newspapermen yesterday that it
did not apply to those islands, that
the difference in view in no wise will
be permitted to embarrass the confer
enCe or the ratification of the agree
ment."
The presidents statement issued
after two hour conference with
Senators Lodge and Underwood of the
American delegation was the first of
fetal confirmation that an understand
ing existed among the delegates as to
application of the treaty
The presidents expression Of opin-
ion on the matter although said by
officials close to him to have been
made without consultation with his
state department advisors and with
out any intention of announcing the
administrations attitude created at
once an evident desire among the Am
orleans, British, japanese and French
alike that the attitude of the Ameri-
can government be clarified, Baron
kato, head OF the Japanese delegation
and one of those who showed great
interest in the presidents attitude said
prior to Mr. Ilarding's formal state
ment that a pledge of secrecy pre-
vented him from divulGing whether
there had been an agreement as to
application OF the treaty. He added
that the meaning adopted at the time
of the signing might be changed in
the future, so ! can say nothing at
this time"
