lI.S,JOINS ALLIED
SUPREME COUNCIL
Harding Accepts Invitation Of
fered BY Entente to Help Set
tie War Problems.
OLD STATUS REVIVED
Except for League of Nations Which
Is Ignored the Standing of Amer
lea Will Be Same as During
Wilson Administration.

Washington-The United States gov
eminent assumed full responsibility
for its share in the settlement of the
World war.
1t accepted not only the invitation
of Lloyd George to participate in the
Allied conferences, but announced that
in the future this country will be rep
resented unofficialIy at the council of
ambassadors in Paris and on the repair
atoms commission.
Old Status Revived.
Except for the League of Nations,
which is ignored, the status of the
United States in regard to the Eu-
ropean situation will be virtually the
same as it was during the Wilson ad-
ministration. 1t was not until the
close Of his term that President Will
son withdrew from participation in the
conferences.
The new policy was made public by
Secretary of State Hughes in a note
replying to the invitation Of Lloyd
George for this government to parti-
cipate in the deliberations of the SUI
preme council, which is an informal
meeting of heads of states. The note
was dispatched to London after Presi-
dent Harding discussed the question
for nearly two hours with his cabinet.
Harvey at Supreme Council.
George Harvey, ambassador to Great
Britain, will represent the United
States at the meetings Of the supreme
council
Ambassador Wallace will sit in at
the meeting of the council of ambas-
sailors until Ambassador Herrick
reaches Paris.
Roland w. Boyden will be observer
at meetings of the reparations com
mission.
Mr.. Wallace and Mr.. Boyden will
have the same status as they did I'M
der the Wilson administration.
While the new administration is
ready to accept the responsibility of
helping to settle the war problems the
note to Lloyd George from Mr. Hughes
emphasizes that the intention is not to
involve the United States in purely
European questions.
League of Nations Ignored.
1t was made clear that the govern
ment will make no move that will en-
tangIe us in anything like the League
of Nations However, it is suggested
that an attempt may be made to i'm
prove world relations through the SUI
preme council, which has no relation
to the League of Nations council The
President, it is understood, feels that
the supreme council is the logical
place for he question of disarmament
to come up. 1t is not improbable that
Colonel Harvey will be instructed to
sound out the Allied governments on
the question.

REiCHSTAG STILL STUBBORN
Acceptance OF Allied Ultimatum
Blocked by Bavarians.

Berlin-No further progress was
made towards terminating the cabinet
crisis despite DR.. Wilhelm Mayors per.
sonal efforts to persuade the clericals
to agree to accept Internationally the
Allied ultimatum.
DR.. Mayer, who is German ambas.
sador to France, is still in the Reichs-
tag as member of the Bavarian Peo-
pies party, which stubbornly opposes
the Allied terms, especially regarding
disarmament. Although pledged to
abide by his party's decision, Dr.
Mayer is now endeayoring to unite the
Clerical party in favor of accepting the
ultimatum, hoping that 1t would then
form nucleus for an emergency coali-
ton, which would command enough
votes in the Reichstag in favor of yield.

PROTEST ON STACKER LIST
Congress May Urge a Further Revision

Congress May Urge Further Revision
or Suspension of its Publication.
shington--Despte the fact that a
storm of protest poured in on Wash
ingtOn from all over the country where
the sO-called Stacker lists" have been
published the War Department has
made no move to stop the publication
of the names
In the face of the extreme care
which the department claims it de-
voted to the preparation of the list it
is clear that many cases of grave in
justice occur through the inclusion Of
innocent men, some Of them having
served with distinction
SO many errors have crept into the
list that pressure is likely to come
from Congress, either for a further
revision of the lists or for the suspen-
sin of its publication.

SAFE FOILS Thieves
SEEKING $1,000 IN
WASHINGTON THEATRE

Thieves failed to open the Wash
ington theatre safe, Sunday night, aft
er battering their way through side
door of the second floor office. A
small narrow passage-way leading
from the balcony was used to get to
the side door
Manager Gruenewald said Monday
that the safe held about $1,000 in cash.
Failure to open the safe door saved
the entire amount. Nothing else was
taken.
1t is not known how the thieves en-
tered the theatre, but it is believed
that they secreted themselves in the
building Sunday night before the thea
tre was locked. Office equipment was
thrown about as the thieves rolled the
safe from its corner into the center of
the room.
This is the second time the Wash
ington theatre office has been entered
by thieves within the past few
months. About $1,000 was taken the
first time.

QUAKERS PLEASED
AT HUGHES STROKE

General approval of the American
proposal for the scrapping of warships
and the 10 year naval holiday was ex-
pressed by leaders of the Friends
church here Monday.
Most of them believe that Secretary
Hughes took the whole problem of the
limitation of armaments out of the
realms of probability and put it be-
fore the world in a tangible manner.
I'VE are pleased with the definite
proposal which Secretary Hughes
made" said DR.. Allen d. Hole, pres
ident of the American Friends Peace
society. There can be no other feel
ing than that of pleasure. He chose
the most advantageous time to put the
proposal before the nations. He did
not wait for long discussions. 1t was
a great stroke. The conference has a
good start as could be hoped for Ev-
cry one approves the proposal in prin-
ciple and that is an important point.

HUGHES PROPOSAL
SPARES ENGLAND IN
SCRAPPING OF SHIPS
tBy Associated Press)

LONDON, Nov 1.-THE American
plan for a ten year naval holiday and
the scrapping of all but limited
number of warships calls for much
less sacrifice on the part of Great
Britain than by the United States and
Japan, in the view of the naval cor
respondent of the Daily Mail.
The proposed sacrifice, he says,
would be a heavy one for Japan and
the United States, but comparatively
trifling for Great Britain, as the lat
ter has not yet incurred any great out
lay on the four new ships just ordered
The American scheme involves no
injury to British interests for in plain
fact the British navy is third in post
war ships and ocean going subma-
rines, the two factors which probably
will count for the most in future naval
warfare. The real question is whether
Japan will be content to accept con-
ditions which will place her navy in
a position of permanent lnferlorlty,
Britain in Lead.
Other correspondents point out that
Great Britain already has taken the
lead in the reduction of naval arm2-
ments. her progressive scrapping OF
warships since the armistice having
amounted up to last April, to more
than five hundred vessels, of whicn
300 were destroyers. Statistics are
printed to show that neither Japan
nor the United States has gone very
far in this direction.
Most of the naval writers are OBJ
viously taking time to digest the pro
posals outlined by Secretary Hughes
and thus far little expert opinion. az
distinct from editorial views, has been
published here.
All other news is subordinated tC
the Washington dispatches in this
mornings newspapers. The drastic
proposals for naval limitation natural
ly hold first place, but the speeches
of President Harding and Mr.. Hughes
are also fully reported, while othe-
dispatches describing the effect pro
duced in America and the attitude OF
the various delegates toward the
American proposals are printed.

and garment workers were called out

against the piece work system and an
increase from Al to 40 hours a week

Workers union and 5000 shops were

with violating a trade agreement
