Herrick Accepts
ProHer of Paris
Ambassadorship
Delay in Decision Caused by
Possibility He May Have
10 Pay Rent Of u. s. En-
bassy Out of Own Funds

WASHINGTON, April (By The
Associated Press) .-Myron T. Herrick
has decided to accept appointment as
American Ambassador to France a post
he filled under President Taft and which
he occupied at the beginning of the
World War. Mr.. Herrick's formal nom
nation will be made soon and he will
70 to France in the early summer.
Mr. Herrck, it is understood, was Of
fered the post some time ago by Pres-
dent Harding, but mis- friends say he was
reluctant to accept it because he felt he
should devote himself exclusively to per-
sonal affairs.
Since he left the diplomatic service
Mr.. Herrick has suffered personal mis-
fortunes, which included the death of
MS wife and grandson, and more re-
Gently was i'll himself and went to the
Hawaiian Islands in search Of health.
The principal trouble was an infection
in one Of his eyes, which, however. has
now been cleared up.
The former ambassador has been
considering the offer for several weeks
and has just given his acceptance.
In going to Paris again Mr.. Herrick
will find himself confronted with per
sonally paying the rent for his en-
bassy building unless some way can
be found to meet the expense out of
other funds of the State Department.
One of the provisions of the last dplo-
matte appropriation bill cut off that
expenditure. This was one of the draw
backs to obtaining Mr.. Herrick's accept
ance, it was said, because, contrary to
public belief, he is not a wealthy man,
although he has been successful in
tho conduct Of his personal business
affairs and he was not convinced that
he could afford to provide an embassy
himself out Of the salary of an am
bassador
Entertainment, which figures as
large expense for an ambassador, prob
ably will be small one for Mr.. Her
rick, for he goes to the post prac-
tlcally alone, and with the intenton Of
devoting himself to the problem of
the office rather than the social season.
Mr. Herrick conferred to-day with
State Department officials, continuing
with them discussion of French
affairs which was started with Presi-
dent Harding. Later he was the guest
OF jules Jusserand, the Ere nch Am
bassador, at dinner

European Affairs
Halt Disarmament
Plan, Harding Says
Tells Women's Peace So
ciety, on Presentation of
Plea for Action, That Pros
1Nct Now Is Unfavorable
From The Tribunes Washington Bureau

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
" WASHINGTON, April 6.-Negotia-
tons dealing with disarmament have
encountered complications as result
OF recent developments in Europe,
President Harding told committee
representing the Women's Peace So
ciety, at the White House to-day. After
the reception of the delegation by the
President, Mrs Charles Edward Rus
sell, leader Of the delegation, said:
"The President said that he would
accord the fullest cons Iteration to
our plea for disarmament He ind-
Gated that the situation in Europe to-
day was unfavorable TO any prospect
the society feel that .heir mission to
the President will not be without sue
cess in a more tangible form when
conditions in Europe are more settled -
In presenting their plea to the Pres-
dent, Mrs. Russell said that women
were tired Of seeing one war after an
other and asked that The President call
disarmament conference ITO save a
war-torn world from despair" Mrs
Russell said further that war has
demonstrated chat violence breeds
hatred and that guntoting is just as
dangerous for nations as for in
dlviduals."
The women presented q formal me-
mortal to the President asking him to
call disarmament conference which
read, in part:
Realizing the power that lies in the
hands of the President Of this great
republic to save d war torn world
from despair, we come here on behalf
Of the Women's Peace Society to urge
YOU to call a conference representing
the people of the world, for universal
disarmament
Ut is unnecessary to dwell upon the
utility of attempting to settle dis
putes by force of arms, nor need we
remind YOU that the men who fought
the war; and the women who made sac
rlilces for it were told that It was 8
war to end war. Everywhere people
feel that their sacrifices we're in vain
and their loyalty to-day is betrayed by
'Hc,reaslngly huge expenditures for
wars"

Ada Wards
Precious Memories

In a life so varied, Ada Ward,
tngland's famous lecturer has nat
urally had many interesting expert
ences. The most curious position in
which she ever found herself was as
principal speaker at Yorktown din
ner given by the Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution in Chicago in 1919.
Here indeed was q topsey-turvey
world, which called for an; ardent
daughter Of Britain to address the
sons of the American Revolution on
an occasion which commemorated
the surrender of her countryman
CORVALLIS to the American rebels in
1881. Yet so brilliant was her speech,
SO completely did she captivate her
hearers that Judge McSurley, the
POSTMASTER, paid her the following
fine compliment: Miss Ward" said
he, zone hundred and thirty-eight
years ago today the British surrend-
cred to the Americans. Tonight the
Americans surrender to the British.
We are captives at your chariot
wheels, and you may lead us whittier
you WILL" This is one of Ada Wards
| most precious memories.
II have never had much time for
the English said an American wom-
an at the close of one of Ada Wards
lectures. but if Ada Ward is a speci-
men, l change my mind"
AS an ardent advocate of the Amer
lean entenet Ada Ward has been
humorously designated "Our un-of-
f1ciaf ambassador" Many a true
word Is spoken in jest and British
diplomats could have no more tact
full or finer representative than this
little woman.
One of her treasured possessions is
a piece of beautiful Irish lace given
|, to her by prominent Sim Feiner of
Limerick. where she leetured during
the war in 1916. When she arrived
she was cautioned-no war-no poll
tics-no religion. All right, then, no
lecture" was the laughing response.
Ada Ward spoke Of the war, of pol
tiles. of religion and spoke SO we'll
that the piece of lace was presented
to her as tangible appreciation and
the remark was made: "Shure, you're
such a fine Englishwoman, you must
be Irish!"
Ada Ward. is a sure favorite with
the Young folks. 1T wasn't bit
like a lecture was the verdict Of
one youthful listener. X listened TO
every word" "She's . peacherino."
declared an enthusiastic schoolboy.
Miss Ward speaks here In City Han

the auspices of the Augusta Enter
tainment Course. There ID every In.
dication that she viii be greeted by
