The invitation, cabled from Londor
wednesday night. was presented at the
state department Thursday by Sir
Auckland Geddes. the British ambas-
:sador, and later Secretary Hughes was
IN conference for half hour with the
president. The secretary declined ia
say what subject had been discussed
put Thursday night it was said at the
Whlte House that the invitation was
before Mr.. Harding for his copsidera-
ton.
u. S. Attitude Secret.
No indication was given of the at
tltude of the American government to-
ward the invitation. although in some
circles the belief was expressed that
the United States might feel justified
IN participating to some extent in re-
paratlons settlements because Of it's
interest in economic adjustments grow
ing out of the war.
There were intimations in some Of
ficial circles also that a condition pre-
cedent to unreserved participation by
the United States in deliberations
abroad would be the acceptance by the
allies of the principles laid down by
Secretary Hughes in respect to man
dates. Italy has already expressed
approval Of the American position on
this subject and France has given as
that she would lose no time

adjutant general announced, to
what appeared to be an error, work.
ing great injustice on soldier
with highly honorable war record.
The list contained the name of
Benjamin Kaufman, who gave 1876
Kosciusko street. Brooklyn. as his
address at the time of the draft
and who failed to report for serv-
ice.
As soon as the list became pub.
lie. the department was advised
that a Brooklyn man of exactly
this name not only served in
France, but won the medal of hon
or and promotion to a first SER
geantcy for conspicuous bravery
In battle.
Investigation showed. the war
department said, that there were
two Brooklyn men of exactly the
same name, both registered for the
draft on the same day, who were
within four months of being the
same age. and who were indicted
into service within four days Of
each other. The records showed.
however, that the medal of honor
man was born in Buffalo, N. ",
and the alleged deserter in Russia.
To illustrate the difficulties en-
countered In preparing the draft
deserter list, Adiutant General
Harris asserted that the war de-
partment records showed 1888
men in the army during the war
bearing the name Of Kaufman,
spelled I different ways. Sixteen
bore the first name Benjamin, nine
OF whom spelled both names exactly
alike.

Kaher home in 1919.
Mr.. Kaber was stabbed "a times.
He said other alienists probably
will be called to examine Mrs. Ka-
ber.
