known dead and hoped that the gath
ering of the plenipotentiaries of the
nations whose combined strength
holds whatever of good or evil there
may be in the destiny of the world.
To the delegates, arrayed In sombre
black or glinting uniform. the Pres
ident's message conveyed the pledge
that this country was ready to go a
long way to bring about future guar
antees of peace and to arrange com
mitments to less burdens and a bet
ter order which ight tranquilize the
world.
No Hidden Meaning
The delegates to the Washington
conference are men trained in the
ways of diplomacy. Their ears long
have been attuned to the soft spoke
word with the hidden meaning. But
today they could detect nothing of
guile in a single sentence uttered by
the American chief magi strate. Never
in all their eventful lives had they
listened to an address more frank or
engaging in its simplicity and faith
Gentlemen Of the conference" SAID
the President, the United States
welcomes you with unselfish hands
We harbor no fears. we have no sor-
did aims to serve; we suspect no en-
envy; we contemplate or apprehend
no conquest. Content with what we
have, we seek nothing which is an
others. We only wish to do with
you that finer, nobler thing which
no nation can do alone"
1t was a speech which the head of
no other great nation might have
made. 1t breathed the spirit of Presi-
dent Harding-that spirit which al
most alone holds promise of confer
ence success. The writer has at
tempted in earlier dispatches to con-
vey some idea of the broad minded
ness of the President toward the con-
ference; of his complete understand
ing of the aims, ambitions and ne
cessities of the great powers that
have been called together, and his
realization that these aims and ne
cessities must not be denied a just
recognition The President today ex-
pressed all this in his own words.
All Must Sacrifice.
The world" he said. demands
sober contemplation of the existing
order and the realization that there
can be no cure without sacrifice. not
by one of us, but by all of US. I
do not mean surrendered rights. or
narrowed freedom, or denied aspira-
lions or ignored national necessities.
Our republic would no more ask for
these than 1t would give. No pride
need be humbled no nationality sub
merged"
To some these words seemed adj
dressed direct to Japan. Japan has
been apprehensive of the Washington
conference, fearful that out of 1t
might grow something which in some
way would endanger Japans position
in the world as a great power. Japan
has been represented as "the out
sider.' at the conference, and Presi-
dent Harding evidently wished to dis

and In these words he expressed the

Thus today the President played his
part at the conference. He may never
appear before it again, unless per-
haps he should go to thank the dele
gates for a successful issue, or TO
make a final plea in the event of a
misunderstanding.
1t will be for Secretary Hughes
henceforth formally to express the
will and wishes of the American peo-
pie He will do this at all times In
close consultation with the President
and no decisions Will be taken until
the approving word of the President
Is given. Mr.. Harding will not CON
Germ himself, however, with the de-
tails of negotiation. It is his own
spirit he would like to impart to the
proceedings at all times. It is for
Mr.. Hughes and his three associates
to wander through the mazes of di-
plomacy which soon must engulf the
conference.

Undecipherable
Inscriptions In
Thebes Discovered
BY Associated Press

Athens, November l2.-Dr. Keram-
opouless one of the Greek inspectors
OF antiquities, has accomplished some
most interesting work in the ruins
OF the palace at Thebes. According
to legend, this place was founded by
Cadmus, who is said to have first
brought the alphabet to Greece.
In previous campaigns the remains
of the fresco decoration of the earlier
palace, 1900 to 400 B. c.. were
brought to light. This consisted
largely of a frieze of deliberately
dressed and coiffured women carry
ing flowers, painted jugs or ivory
boxes.
This year. the excayator has found
some of the store rooms of the later
place, 400 to 100 B. c. From these
there have been extracted a hundred
or more big stirrup Jars. They are
unfortunately broken, but they can
be put together again
considerable number of these
jars have painted on them inscrip-
lions in the still undecipherable
Myeenean alphabet. The letters, or
rather signs, are of a hieroglyphic
character and are derived but diff
fer from the we'll known and equal
" undecipherable Cretan prehis-
toric alphabet. Scientists believe it
possible that the difference of alpha
bet means difference of language.
However much professors may dis
pute about the meaning and charac-
ter of these alphabets, Athens
archaeological circles attach special
interest to the fact that ancient ira
dition has once more been proved
right by the discovery of what might
be called Cadmean letters in the
ruins of Cadmus' city.

MALAYAN CULTURE

From THE Philippines Before Magel-
lam" by H. Otley Boyer, in Asia
Magazine.
The general character of Chinese
! influence in Malaysia was and is eco.
/ nomic, rather than social or political.
The main object of the Chinese was
always trade, and a thousand peace
full merchant vessels sailed into the
southern seas for every one that was
sent there on political or war-like
mission.
| OF metals possessed by the natives,
iron, lead. gold and silver appear to
have been derived chiefly from the
I Chinese, while brass, bronze, copper
and tin came mainly from Indian
sources. The art of mining these
metals, and the implements and tools
used in working them. among the
Malays. appear to have had the same
respective origins. Metal armor and
some of the older TYPES of weapons
are probably Indian, while certain
later weapons and the manufacture
! and use of firearms are Chinese.
In clothing and ornament, an equal
diversity of origin is apparent. The
Characteristic sarong, turban, bronze
bells, anklets and armlets and a va
riety OF smaller ornaments appear to
be Indian. The skin-tight trousers of
the Sulo Moros are sug gestive OF In
dian puttees. On the other hand. the
jacket with sleeves. the loose trous-
ers worn by Moro women, glass beads
and many types of hats raincoats.
foot-gea etc. are almost certainly
Chinese. So also is the restriction
of yellow garb to royal or aristo-
cratic usage and the prevalence OF
blue among the commonalty Silks.
porcelain and glazed pOttery of ALI
sorts came from China: cotton and
the ramie fiber were introduced from
India, though in the more recent CEN
turtles China also acquired cotton and
exported cotton cloths.
Practically all of the words in
Malayan languages which can be
traced to a Chinese source are of
purely economic or commercial char
acter The earlier intercourse ap
pears to have been carried on almost
wholly from ships trading along the
| shores. There appear to have been
few. IL any. Chinese settlements In
Malay lands before the thirteenth
century. but after that date they In
creased rapidly Practically all the
settlers, however, married native
women and brought up their Chill
dren as Malays rather than as Chi
nese. As a final Judgment 1t may be
said that. while Indian culture pene-
| trated to the very heart of Malay
mental and social life, the Chinese
merely scratched the surface. In re-
cent times. however, the Celestials
have been penetrating more thor
oughly into the island life, and while
the Indian influence has long been
waning, the Chinese has been slowly
but ever surely increasing its hold.
