"Thia shows n preliminary Inference

Whether this betrays the secret desire
of those three countries TO dlscosc OF

its bid. This was agreed 10.
II is understood that OF the 2s7 ships

Whereas in most OF the countries
aided by the Relief Administration the
American flag has appeared on posters
and flown from warehouses and kitchens
American political situation is consid-
cred SO delicate by the Relief Admins

symbol OF the United States will be miss
ing by orders Of the Relief Administra-
ton headquarters In the United States.
Special flags and posters are being

All kinds OF persons are seeking to
enter Russia. and the Riga office Of the
American organization looked like a

1t was made plain to-day by one OF
the American relief workers that only
persons well equipped for interpretive
work and honestly non-political had the
slightest chance of entering Russia with
the American relief administration.
The question of the personnel's integrity
is considered one of the most difficult OF
the Russian relief problems.

US. COLLECTS DATA
FOR ARMS FARLEY
Continued from First Page.

Is understood to have been made both
toward preparation Of plans and data
for the American commissioners and
toward a canvass of the diplomatic field
to determine what international problems
are to be considered within the scope of
the conference. Both the army and navy
have taken an extensive part In the
Governments preparations
Meantime, although the conference
has become an assured fact through the
Informal acquiesence Of all the invited
Powers. the perfunctory story Of formal
diplomatic exchanges on the subject con-
tinues to hold the centre Of the stage
SO far as actual surface developments
are concerned. and to be the theme of all
available comment of officials. The
formal acceptance of Great Britain
reached the State Department to-day and
was made public with many expressions
OF satisfaction. Formal acceptance from
Japan, Italy and France are yet to come
It has not been revealed what steps
may have been taken automatically to
secure agreement as to the scope of the
conference. but the nature OF the formal
replies are taken generally here to indi-
cate that negotiations on THAT subject
are entirely separate from the semi
public formal exchanges over the actual
assembling OF the delegates. 1t Is un-
derstood that the tendency has been to
hold discussions OF scope In an informal
status In order to facilitate a free ex-
change OF views.
The American Governments own prep
arations for the conference are UNDER
stood To have reached far into the fields
OF political. military and naval inquiry.
Almost daily meetings have taken place
between President Harding and Secre-
tary Hughes, who will head the Amerf-
can delegation. and to-day the President
conferred also with Senator Lodge. who
also will be one OF the American repre-
sentatives
A staff OF State Department experts
has been occupied for some days prepar-
ing information. and like groups are at
work In the War and Navy departments.
The preparation OF army intelligence
has gone forward directly under the eye
OF Gen. Pershing in his capacity as
Chief of Staff, and 1t Is taken for
granted that he will occupy an impor-
tant place as military adviser at the
conference. II Is understood he has
given particular attention to the pre-
liminary collection of data. because OF
his interest and understanding of foreign
military establishments through contact
with them during the war. and that he
Is looked on with additional favor
as an adviser because Of his personal
acquaintance with many OF those who
will come here In the military groups Of
the other Powers.

President Loubet OF France had made
the award which defined the boundary
between Costa Rica and Panama be-
tween the Pacific ana the Cordil1eras.
On the Atlantic side he had drawn a line
which was not susceptible Of completion
because typographical maps were not
available. 1t was this feature of the
decision which Chief Justice White was
called upon 10 decide.
Equipped with the Typographical out
lines Chief Justice White drew a line
between the Cordilleras and the Atlantic
Ocean. There never was any question
about the award on the Pacific side OF
the Isthmus. and the correctness OF the
decision was acknowledged by Panama
In the Porras-Anderson treaty.
Panama objected to the White award
on the ground that the Chief Justice had
exceeded his authority in describing the
boundary line. This objection never has
been supported by this Government.
Panama occupied the disputed territory
on the Pacific side pending the settle
ment OF the Wild and uninhabited terri
