BY THE WASHINGTON OBSERVER.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-As long as
forty years ago--almost to the month
the United States served notice it would
not sanction European cooperation in
settlement of purely American questions.
The incident was recalled by Washington
diplomatists In consequence of Bolivia's
attempt at the present session Of the
League Of Nations to have the Chilean
Bolivian treaty of 1904. ceding Tacna and
africa to Chile, revised by that body. In
August, 1881, Levi P. Morton, then
American ambassador to France, wrote to
James G. Blaine, Secretary Of State, re
garding the offer of France to participate
in an arbitration of the controversy be-
tween Peru and Chile. Mr.. Blaine said
in effect that by reason of the peculiar
relationship Of the United States 10 the
republics of South America, 1.-The United
States could not look with favor upon
European powers taking part with the
United States in the settlement Of
question so essentially American"
Basil Miles, special assistant to the
under Secretary of State for ornaments
conference arrangements, addressed the
Washington real estate board Thursday
on probable housing necessities during
the p0TJey. In d ultle dIItl IuHSHoOh az
dress characterized by tact that was not
devoid Of point, Mr.. Miles reminded the
real estate men that the foreign delega-
lions soon to be Americas guests will
draw their impressions Of this country
and of Washington in particular, from
the reception they got from shopkeepers,
hotels and the agents and owners OF
houses Mr. Miles emphasized that
Washington real estate men therefore
bad an opportunity to render a genuine
public service. Spokesman or the board
assured the State Department represen-
tative they were conscious of Washing
toms eminence as 1.-The center Of the
world and proclaimed their desire to
scauit themselves accordingly. Mr..
Miles said 1t was not possible to esti-
mate the size of foreign delegations, but
rut the total prospectively and 300 or
400"

KHAN DENOUNCED BY GRAND MASTER
 MISSOURI MAS0NS

St Louis, September 20.---The kU Klux K1an was denounced as de- structive of free government peace and harmony by William Johnson, grand master of the Centennial grand ledge of Missouri, Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons, in an address at the lodges annual convention which opened here today.
 ''As the impression seems to pre- vail in some sections" declared Mir. Johnson, that the Masonic frater- nity is directly or indirectly asso- ciated with this (Ku Klux Klan) se- cret organization, it is well that the seal of disapproval be positively placed by this grand lodge upon this secret organization.
 we cannot, as Free Masons and good citizens. recognize the right or any secret society or collection of men to assume unto themselves the right to administer law and to inflict punishment upon their fellow men. Such an assumption is subversive of our republican institutions, contrary to the great principles of Free Ma sorry.
 "An organization that practices censorship of private conduct behind the midnight anonymity of mask and robe, and enforces it's secret decrees with the weapons of whips and tar and feathers, must ultimately merit and receive the condemnation of those who believe in courts. open jus tice, and good citizenship"
 The convention will continue through Thursday
