Lions International Clubs is similar
to that OF the Rotary and Kiwanis

late ideas and plans, whereby the
Civic pride OF the town 1t represents
will be raised and maintained at q
high level for the pleasure and pride
Of it's residents and for the visitors
and tourists. The club constantly
strives to aid in all propositions
which will aid the town and the COM

The meeting which was held at
the Ferris Hotel during the noon

Italy and Japan, to ascertain
whether 1t would be agreeable to
them to take part in a conference
on this subject, to be held in
Washington at a time to be mu-
tually agreed upon. II the pro-
posal ID found to be acceptable
formal invitations for such con-
ference will be issued

president has suggested that the
powers especially interested In
these problems should undertake,
in connection with this confer
ence, the consideration OF all mat
ters bearing upon their solution,
with n view to reaching a common
understanding with respect to
principles and policy in the =
East.

London, July ll.-fTeSiuSu'
Harding's note regarding a con
ference on the limitation OF arma
ments was received by the Ameri-
can embassy here yesterday and
forwarded to Ambassador Harvey
who was in the country. The am
bassadero went to Chequers court
and saw Premier Lloyd-George
there. This morning the subject
is understood to have been dis
cussed by the British cabinet.
There was great activity at the
British foreign office early in the
day. Lord Curzon, the secretary
for foreign affairs, interviewed
both Ambassador Harvey and Bar
on Hayashi, the japanese ambas-
sador, before leaving for the cabi-
net meeting. Later the Chinese
minister called at the foreign Of
flee.
President Harding's proposal
was the one topic OF conversation
in diplomatic quarters today. Ex-
pressions of satisfaction were gen

the Washington conference, II 1t
were agreed upon, would only be
comparable in Importance to the
Paris peace conference.
Some OF the dominion preniers
called at the prime minister's Of

later the imperial conference met
and considered President Hard
ing's message.
