not only of the cubject matter which
will come before the conference, but
of being possessed Of an unusual
fund Of sound Judgment, wholly
devoid of prejudice or fantastic and
impractical ideas,-a man whose
conclusions are reached by the same
processes Of analysis and logic.
The fourth member Of the dele
cation, Elihu Root, has a reputation
second to none in the world as an
authority upon international law and
the problems Of armament. In ad-
dition to this qualification along gen.
eral lines, Mr.. Roots selection is es-
pecially happy in view of his in
innate and comprehensive grasp of
the Far East situation and the unu-
sually high regard in which he is
held by japanese statesmen.
In his capacity as Secretary of
War in the cabinet of President Nc
Kinley, Mr.. Root handled the Phil
ppine, Hawaiian and other problems
of the Pacific. At that time these
problems were new to the United
States and Mr.. Root Of necessity had
TO f2miliarize himself with all the
phrases of Far Eastern diplomacy,
as well as commercial and economic
activities. Later, as Secretary Of
State in the Roosevelt cabinet, Mr..
Root negotiated the Root-Takahira
agreement which dealt with the in
terests of the United States and Jap
an in the Pacific and China. This
agreement was, at the time, heartily
in both Japan and China
and was the basis Of a reaffirmation
of the cordial relations which had
always existed between Japan and
the United States. He is as well
and as favOrably known in Euope as
he is In the Orient. He has been a
member of the Permanent Court Of
international Arbitration at The
Hague and in 1912 was awarded the
Nobel prize for peace.
With such a delegation American

Every man and boy a swimmer,

gan of the Central Y. NJ. C. A. swim
ming classes. During the past three
weeks a number of boys of the Junior
division of the Central Y. NJ. C. A.
have been working hard to pass the
life saving tests which will entitle
them to membership in the Y. NJ. C.
A. boys life saving corps.
After many days of effort and con-
sistent training their labors have been
crowned with success. The required
tests are of such a nature as to re-
quire a steady nerve, a cool head and
a strong body. And these boys have
ably demonstrated that they are lack
ing in none of these requirements.
The examination for entrance into the
life saving corps consists of five sep
arate tests. The candidate for admit
lance must be able to swim on his
back twenty yards and carry a person
of his own weight, first using the head

known as the side carry. Next he

and then to swim one hundred yards
using any stroke that he may prefer.
The third test is a surface dive in wa

weighing ten pounds. The final test
is a demonstration of the Shaeffer
method of resuScitation.
The boys who pass the prescribed
tests and who have been awarded the

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Junior Kansas Senator Says His
Vote Was Pledged.
Senator Curtis Had Made Prom
ises on Measure.

Washington, July 16.-Nigorous de-
NAL was made by Republican leaders
of the senate today that the soldiers
bonus bill is dead" because of the
action of the Republican majority in
sending it back to the senate finance
committee.
Senator Penrose, Republican of
Pennsylvania, the committee chair
man, insisted that the measure would
he taken up by his committee again.
so presented itself. When that Will
be, no one processes to know or will
hazard a guess.
In the Indefinite Future.
It is the opinion of the Republican
senators that the bill will be rewritten
IL the senate is called upon to pass it.
1t is claimed in rest in the Penrose
committee until after the present ses-
sion, as the senate will be pressed to
enact tax and tariff legislation before
the regular session begins in Decem-
Der.
Past history was revived today by
the White House in defense of the
action taken by President Harding in
causing the deferment of the soldier
bonus bill.
The White House issued a state
ment calling attention to the fact that
President Grant, in 1875, exercised a
pocket veto on a soldiers bonus, stat
ing his opinion in practically the same
words as used by President Harding
in his message to the senate on We'd
nesday.
Capper Opposes Harding.
Senator Capper voted against the
motion to recommit the soldier bonus
bill to the committee on finance,
taking the position that to do so would
tend to ditch the bill. In a statement
following the vote, he said:
IT am a loyal supporter of the presl-
dent, but it was impossible for me to
stand with him in this matter by rea-
son of my peculiar relationship TO the
service men as war governor and my
deem sympathy with them and their
problems. l have taken special IN
terest in the Bonus bill and other SOL
der legislation. All other governments
participating in the world war have
given their soldiers a liberal bonus
After this bill was reported favorably
by the senate finance committee rev
weeks ago. I committed myself by let
ter, by public address, and by articles
in my newspaper to its support I'm
der those circumstances 1 would have
been lacking in good faith if 1 had
voted to ditch the bill"
In a letter received by member
of The Topeka State Journal staff
Juno IS. from Senator Charles Cur
tbs, the senator put himself on record
in the following words:
THE committee is to act on the bill
Cbonus measure) on Monday. I am
confident that it will be favorably re-
ported to the senate. You know
have always been a friend of the SOL
diers. My father was Civil war vet
eran and know something of what
the soldier has to undergo. AS far as
am personally concerned 1 shall con-
tinue to do everything can for them"
Senator Curtis was not listed in the
Associated Press dispatches as being
one of those who voted against the re-
commitment of the bill.

Number of Foreign Born Farm
ers Shows Decrease.
Total of $500 Less Than in
1910, Report Shows.

According to the preliminary fig
ures of the 1920 census, taken from
a report to the Topeka Chamber of
Commerce, the number of foreign
born white farmers in the United
States has decreased from 669,566 in
1910, to 5S1,054 in 1920. This is a
decrease of SS,502, or 1872 per cent in
the ten-year period.
White farmers born outside of the
United States constituted per cent
of the total number of farmers in the
country in 1920, as against 10.5 per
cent in 1910.
In Kansas there were 17,1S9 white,
foreign-born farmers in 1920 and Kan
sas by no means headed the list. The
states reporting the largest number of
foreign born white farmers were:
Minnesota, wisconsin. Michigan. North
foreign-born white farmers formed
37.7 per cent of all farmers in 1920,
Foreign-born white farmers are
most numerous in the north central
states, altho there are considerable
numbers in the Pacific states, and a
relatively high proportion of all the
farmers in some of the eastern states
are foreign born.
Ten in Southern States.
There are very few foreign born
farmers in the southern states with
the exception of Texas.
Germany furnished most of the
farmers from other countries now liv-
ing in the United States. There were
221,S0 German born farmers in the
United States in 1910, and 140,652 in
1920. Sweden was next with 67,453 In
1910, and SOAP in 1920.
1t should be noted that the order in
which the foreign countries are repre-
scented by farmers in the United States
is not the order in which they are rep
resented by total immigration. The
people of countries which send many
immigrants to the United States go
into other industries
