G. Emery. national commander of

Pres't Harding that such action

tiOns from numerous organizations

tier would have early consideration.

United States Gives No En-

Preliminary Session.
LEADERS FEAR RESULTS
Claim Il Would Leave PartiCi-

ton of Problem.

By Associated Press:
WASHINGTON. July 29.-Pro-
posals for preliminary meetings Of
the representatives Of all the pow
ers or any separate group Of them
prior TO the disarmament confer
ence are receiving no encourage
ment from the American govern
ment
Although officials decline TO COM
ment formally. II is the apparent
belief here that all the various
schemes suggested for preliminary
sessions are impracticable and might
lead TO defeat of the purposes Of the
conference itself. This feeling is un-
derstood TO apply with particular
force TO any proposal that certain
questions be taken up beforehand
in separate conferences where only
certain members Of the main con-
ference are represented.
Discourage Plan.
II is held that such plan not only
would have the undesirable result Of
creating groups within the main
group. but might open such avenues
II discussion that il would leave the
participants further from a solution
than they were in the beginning.
1t also is increasingly apparent
that the United States is doing what
it can TO discourage suggestions for
a preliminary conference among all
the nations that are 70 be represent
ed in the principal conference. No
details of the negotiations of that
subject have been revealed, but il is
generally understood that Great
Britain is urging such a conference
and this country is holding out
against 1t.
Favor Armistice Day.
II also is understood that this
government holds 10 it's original
suggestion that the conference as
semble here on Armistice day. Nov
II. though some of the other invited
nations have urged that later date
be selected
Meantime, officials are working
steadily in the preparation OF de-
tails and, although it is said actual
choice of the personnel Of the Amer
lean delegation is yet to be made,
Pres't Harding is known TO have
given the question some serious
thought. 1t is expected generally
that the president himself will not
sit at the conference table but that
Sec'y Hughes will act as head OF the
American delegates. 1t has been in
dictated that serious consideration
might be given to suggestions that
at least one of the places on the
delegation go to a woman.

The British king has a priceless

But from all parts Of America art
lovers come TO South Bend 10 be-
hold the old masters. The art gal
lery is the browning jewel Of Notre
Dame, for the exhibit of MASTER
pieces is second TO none of its kind
in the country.
There are but two galleries in the
United states that rival Notre Dame.
The New York Metropolitan Art Mu-
scum and the collection owned by j.
PierpOnt Morgan are the larger. But
nowhere outside Of the Metropolitan
museum has a gallery such a galaxy
Of mediaval painters especially Of
Dame.
The Art exhibit. which fills three
spacious rooms in the library build
ing, is replete with the work Of ar
lists living in the 18th, 10th, and
18th centuries The collection has
more than $50 oils, one dating back
10 the 14th century. There are some
r11asrerDieces of more modern artists
in the collection but they are in the
minority as compared with those
that have come down through years.
And these latter. especially, are the
beacon lights that call the art lovers
and critics TO Notre Dame from all
parts of the globe.
