INCREASES
Second Baptist Still Holds First Hon

There was sBlghjt taIeresse i'm THE

schccls last Sunday probably due to
a slight Grange in tthe weather ais va
CATION time can scarcely be said to be
ever yet. The schools tha5 Showed the
edeajgest increase were the St. Papll's,
NJ. E. South, First Baptist, Second
Presbyterian and Trinity NJ. E.
The leaders lost slightly in at
tendnce but not sufficiently to dis
place themselves, they still having a
comfortable lead over their nearest
competitors st. Paul's. The schools
have all settled down to a good
steady pace in the campaign, with
teams organized and all forces work
ing as smooth as clock work.
They all realize that any one of the
three or four schools could forge
ahead with only a few hours work
each week by selected groups from
each class working consistently as
the per centage of Sunday school at
tendants in Alexandria is vet quite
small compared to the population.
Doubtless many new students will be
enrolled in the schools before the
close of the campaign.

definite form with the return OF
Camp Director Wallace, who has
been spending a week as camp direc-
tor of Camp darlington at Fairfax.

The weather has been ideal for
camping and it bids fair to continue
for the next few weeks. A visit to
the camp site few days ago re-
vealed no mosquitoes and a great
head of water above the hydro-elec-
trio dam just below the camp. Fish
ing will be one of the principal re-
creation features and many of the
boys have asked questions regarding
equipment for this popular sport.
All arrangements are rapidly be-
ing completed for enc commissary
with chef of many years expert
ence in cooking for camps engaged.
The boys are assured of splendid
cooking and plenty of it. Sunday
will be visitors day and the noon
day meal will be served as a COM
pany dinner and Director Wallace
has secured whole flock OF Spring
ers" for the meal.
Parents will be glad to know that
there will be no fire arms Of any
kind allowed in the camp. This is
considered too dangerous and they
will all be left at home. The camp
will be primarily safe and all dan
/ gerous amusements OF every kind
will be omitted from the program.

WILL NOT SIT
[AT,PARLEY
Means Other Nations Will be
Represented by Les
ser Lights
IS OPTIMISTIC
Believes Difficulties in Way Will be
Smoothed Out = Soviet Protest
Amusing.

Washington, July 23.-President
Harding's decision to abstain from
sitting in the disarmament conference
he has called, which was definitely
made known yesterday, is likely to
change the whole complexion of that
gathering.
The rule is that political heads of
states do not enter into conferences
with officials of other states who are
not the final authority, so far as the
constitution of the state permits. So
the diplomatic sharks say that Pre-
mier Lloyd George and other Prime
Ministers will not be IN the delega-
tions unless the President is going to
attend.
When the question Of Woodrow vii
sons attendance at the Peace Con-
ference was in allegiance Premier
Lloyd George withheld his decision to
take part until the Presidents at
tendance was assured.
Assuming that Secretary of State
Hughes will sit as one Of the dele
gates, Great Britain's delegation will
probably be headed by the Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs, the
Marquis Curzon, and corresponding
dignitaries from the other powers
will be sent.
Whether the British Colonial Pre-
miers are to be counted as OF too
lofty political stature to sit with sec
rctaries of state is a question not yet
determined. They are most anxious to
come, but can only be present as
part of the British delegation. 1t is
hoped that they will so arrange their
Journeys home from London so as to
be here when the conference IS CALI
ed-which, other reports to the con-
trary Notwithstanding, is still expect
ed to be in November.
Japan has not yet shown any signs
of coming around to the American
view that the more general the
agenda for the conference the more
chance for the successful elimination
of all questions that are disturbing in
tcrnational relations in the Pacific
and Far East No official communl-
cation has been received from the
Mikado's Government since The par
tial and guarded acceptance.
However, United States officials
are certain that all the difficulties VIII
be smoother out in short time II
the unofficial information given j pan
through Ambassador Shideha.a a, is
deemed inadequate, she can have such
additional facts as lies in this Gov
ernment's power to give her, always
limited by the position that it is not
within the purpose of this Govern
mcnt TO lay down hard and fast limits
to the discussions, and the absence
of desire on its part to make the
agenda ourselves.
The protest of the Russian Soviet
government at being left out of the
conference on Far Eastern affairs is
regarded with more amusement than
London, July ga meeting of the
Dominion Premiers was called hur-
riedly yesterday afternoon to consld-
er, it is understood, a reply received
from Washington today to reprssen-
tations by the British Government
relative to postponlng the dlsarma-
ment and Pacific conference to some
date later than November Il. The
was private and there has
been no indication of the nature OF
the Washington reply.
