Inference OF opinion.
The difficulty OF adjusting the
problem. however. is understood 70
rest largely upon a difference Of
opinion as TO the principles involved.
Japan, IL is said, would be willing 20
enter into an agreement regarding
the cable terminals on the island.
but the United States has insisted
that the question Of mandates Is in
volved. japan has contended that
the ALLEGATION Of the zap mandate
is an accomplished fact and there
fore is not one for the conference
TO consider.
II Is understood that the United
States is inclined 10 regard The dis
cussion of mandates for islands in
the Pacific as one that might prop
erly come before the conference.
Great Britain, France and Italy have
indicated their support Of the Ameri-
can contention that the consideration
Of mandates may properly be taken
up by the various powers interested
and have not denied that the United
States is logically and legally entitled
TO a voice in their ALLEGATION since
she was one or the victOrs in the
war. Japan has insisted that the
question Of mandates and their allo-
cation pertains to the League OF Ma
tions.

PARIS. Aug. flake the WORD Of
competent American observer-
French women are better dressed
than ever"
The observer was Milton Wolf who
has just concluded one Of the most
important fashion deals in the his
tory OF Paris. Acting for a Fifth
Avenue house. he has arranged 20
d distribute in America Paul Poiret's
famous collection OF 100 models.
Wolf dealt almost entirely in su-
perlatives as he discussed the 1921
designs which Poiret and other fam
Gus dressmakers have evolved this
year.
Longer dresses haven't hurt the
appearance az French women" ne
said. The flowing lines Of skirt and
sleeves gives them a slender. girlish
appearance which is most attractive"

''Frnech drcssmaking Is reviving.
During the war much poor material
was turned out. but now Il IL be-

Wolff had ample opportunity TO
study the entire range OF French
fashion at Deauville. the great resort.
There were just two colors there
he said white and orchid"
At Wolff's request. Poiret exhibited
his 1921 dreams for the United Press.
Dominant features OF the display
were: Long. loose kimona-like ef-
fects. dim. neutral colors with flares
OF oriental red and yellow; wide
sleeves OF Chinese origin and hand
painted sleeves and waist deeora-
tiOns.

Entirely Practical.
Rep. Mondell Of Wyoming. the re-
publican leader, declared IN a for
nal statement that it was entirely
practical in his opinion. TO reduce
the total tax levy by at least $780,
100000 and still meet all proper,
necessary and essential expenses OF
the government"
The excess profits tax and the
higher income surtaxes should be
repealed and nothing substituted for

nuisa nee taxes and the transporta-
tion tax. in whole or in part, should
be repealed and some simple, easily
understood tax, as for instance the
proposed five percent increase on
corporation taxes. enacted 20 pro-
vide funds lost by the repeal OF
these last mentioned taxes.
Possibly some other one form OF
additional tax may be necessary,
but I doubt IT, In any event. We
should not. in my opinion, adopt the

taxes OF that character that have
been suggested. and I doubt slther

extreme instances Of penalties and
charges which resulted from the pro-
gressive rate system, now no longer
in effect. did order money returned
10 every bank in excess Of . per-

$4,000 IN the United States and IN
an extreme Alabama case the total

Gov. Harding gave detailed ex-
PLANTATION Of the restraints imposed
on credits during what he referred
TO as the crisis declaring that the
principle was that OF penalizing bor-
rowers who took out OF the reserve
system sums disproportionate TO their
own resources. Tables. charts and

Farmer Tells Of Hearing Voices
Near Spot Who're Woman

BRIDGEPORT. Gonna, Dec. s.--A
new link has been added to the chain
OF evidence which Prosecutor Bacon
Wakeman, Of Fairfield. is building up
around the mysterious death last Fri
day night Of DIR. Elizabeth Radon
The body Of this young woman was
found lying on a lonely road In Fair
field.
The new evidence is furnished by
Charles johnson, q farmer.
Fifteen minutes after a sedan in
which DIR. Radon and two men and
another woman had left the Ash
Creek gasoline station on the night of
the formers death, where the woman
physician was recognized by James
Spoil, an attendant, an automobile
containing several people stopped In
front of the horne Of Miss Finette
Nichols on the Fairfield Post Road.
a quarter Of a mile from the gasoline
station.
johnson, q boarder in the house,
was awakened from a sound sleep bv
loud voices. Thinking an accident
had occurred he went TO the window
and heard the following conversation
in mems voices:
I'VE have got to get away from

Where shall we go?"

here. Step on the gas"
Immediately the car started and
disappeared down the road. In.

In a statement issued last night
Prosecutor Wakeman said:
II expect to have. within q few
days, more tangible evidence to show
that DR.. Radon died while she was
in the company Of other persons who
fear to reveal their identity for i'm.
portant reasons"
Prosecutor Wakeman still inclines
to the murder theory in the death Of
DIR. Radon, in spite OF the official
opinion held by Medical Examiner w.
H. Donaldson. who sees no reason to
alter his original finding Of suicide.
