CONFERENCE HAS i,
MARKED NEW ERA
In DIPLOMACY
Thus Writes the Advisory
Committee of Women
to Lady Aston.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 26.--Convic-
ton that the Washington conference
has marked a new era in diplomacy
is expressed by the four women mem
bers of the advisory committees to
the American delegation In a letter
addressed to Lady Astor, member of
the British house of commons, made
public tonight.
The letter, which is signed by Mrs.
Charles Sumne Bird. Mrs. Katherine
Philips Edison, Mrs. Eleanor Franklin
is in reply TO a letter from Lady As
tor transmitting the views of the w6-
men OF England, as expressed through
81 national organs with respect to
the conference.
This conference has marked a new
era in diplomacy the letter written
by the advisory committee OF women
says:
1--WE now realize hat here in Afneri-
ca, as in other countries, public opln.
ion has found its new way to power
and Is affecting the course of states
men who once could settle everything
behind closed doors.
I'VE do not agree to these people
who have little faith In the out.
come Of this conference, who believe
that nations having been selfish and
having settled their disputes by war,
u therefore continre 10 do so. These
people are filled with suspicious and call
for more atmaments n increasing
preparations for war. begetting q spirit
of fear, and distrust.
1--WE believe with you, that the
great war mas taught us the need
of peace and hat no nation can stand
by itself. We believe that if we want
our type Of civilization and culture
to endure, and to progress, that this
fierce race for armament must cease.
We all know that another world war
would be more swift. more extensive,
more destructive than the last and
might well be the beginning OF the
degeneration Of our race.
"rhe conference was called together
three weeks ago. Already. the decks
have been cleared for action. all side
issues brushed way and a concrete.
far.reaching proposal for immediate
limitation OF naval ornaments has
been advanced by the United Sites
and accepted in principle by the two
other great naval powers, England
and Japan.
Now, must come the vast and stu
pendous work of adjusting the details
of these principles of little by little,
moving the suspicious. the hatred. the
fears of age-long existence. Nearly n

We are informed by Rev. II. Frank

church at billiard. that the towns Of
Rexroat and billiard are much differ
ent from what they were two weeks

men since The mass meeting in Ard
more week before last. He says that
this has taken place gradually until
nbw there is hardly a joint Of any
Kind open there.
Whether this has been caused by the
investigation which is being given this
county from the attorney generals Of
flee or whether from fear of the Ku
Klux Khan is not known but it is safe
to say that both are given part credit.
Rev. Cochran says that there was
a report out there last week that the
Ku Klux Khan was going to visit the
town but how the report got started
Is now known. II is possible that a
warning has been issued 10 some OF
