TROUBLESOME QUESTIONS PROBABLE
IN DISARMAMENT DISCUSSION

diplomatists with keen interest to dis
cover how impelling is the sentiment
in favor of a frank exchange of ideas
on all subjects threatening interna-
tional discord. This survey so far as
officials have been willing to com
ment, has aroused in them general
satisfaction.
Press reports from Japan, indicating
that the question Of fun participation
is one of the lively debates there are
taken as a welcome sign. The same
may be assumed also with regard to
London dispatches indicating that
British opinion hopes for a complete
acceptance by Japan. The impression
that time Is a friendly factor in all
OF these considera tons and that undue
impotence might lead to a misunder-
standing of the real motives of the
United states in proposing the con-
ference, is regarded as explaining the
udisposition of this government to

had been done toward physical ar
rangements.
one question undecided who shall
pay expenses of the visiting delega-
tons. 1t Is customary Tor commissions
sent to such gatherings as peace con-
ferences to be provided with funds
by their respective governments hut
some officials are in doubt as to the
polite course in the case of a confer
ence in which the participants are in
Vited to the soil of one of the nations
represented. Should the United states
feel called upon to pay all expenses a
considerable Appropriation by congress
will be necessary. The prophecies OF
the situation thus are likely to receive
dIligent study here in the near future.

Origin OF Frecmaoonry Unknown.


The society of Free Masons ante
tates all other societies by centuries.
Its origin is so ancient that the place
and time of its birth are unknown.
Its legend say that 1t was organized
at the building of the temple of Solo
mon. but this is not accepted with
much creGence. BY some writer's Its
origin has been ascribed to the
Druids, by others to the Knights
Femplar and to, Pythagoras, and 1t
has not escaped the fad which in mod
ern times has attributed so many
OF the uncertain productions to the
nimble brain of Sir Francis Bacon.
Within recent years traces Of the
organization are said to have been
discovered in Palestine or the Egyp.
tian obelisks and in the pyramids,
In fact, 1t has been asserted that IN.
vestiSators have become satisfied
that the society grew directly from
an organization engaged in the con-
Hruction nf the pvramids.
