Dear Mrs. ThOmuSOn: am girl

parents do not object to my gong
with him as they think he Is very
nice. I am engaged to him, but some
times he acts as though he doesn [
care a thing for me.
He came to see me the other night
and said that he had to go home early.
He left me and didn't go home as he
said he was going to. He loafed
around town until rather late. He
has been with me once since.
Do you think I should accept his
love- This sort of thing happens
occasionally LUCILLE.
The boy is cheating you. He pre-
tends to love you. but he is only Civ
ing you halfhearted affection,

a man loves you enough to want to be
with you in preference to running
around town when he pretends to be
at home.

Southern Goodies
Showered Upon
McCully's Tots

GREENVILLE, S. c.. Jan. "a
Gully and his seven Russian chill
dren, who are soon to become Amer
leans, left Anderson today for their
Washington home, they had more
accomplishments in the way of lug
gage than when they came. Each
of the seven children had his own
little. suitcase packed with indfvid-
ual toilet articles, the quaint little
governess had a large suitcase, the
admiral had three suitcases, besides
two trunks and a mail bag half fill
ed with letters which he had hoped
to get to" while here, many being
still unread.
In the other half Of this bag there
was a bushel of black walnuts and
Anderson county grown pecan nuts.
Two baskets filled with cakes had
been sent in by friends and neigh
bors. Another basket, with country
sausage, country butter, pickles,
preserves and jellies, and then an
other box of fried chicken, biscuits
and cookies prepared by neighbors
for the children's luncheon on the
train. Besides this each child had a
box of home made candy.
The people of Anderson seemed
unable to express fully their delight
in the admirars children and took
every means possible to show them
honor The admiral said that he
was afraid that they would do too
much as the children are still on
a diet. When he took the smaller
children from the orphanage they
had never tasted meat in th,.r
lives, so on the ship he began Civ
ing them a teaspoonful of meat a
day. The smallest of the boys had
lived on soup for nearly all of his
four years, and now everything he
eats he calls soup"
The other children had had no meat
for months and are now allowed
meat only once a day. If they had
been given heavy food oftener their
digestion would have been ruined
for life, the admiral said The :oa-
son, he says, why so many Of the
good things are being taken hack

Sardinia, July g. 1919, and the Mt

ordered yesterday to show cause
on January 2S why they should

Murray's body was brought here

Special Gable Dispatch to
The Washington Herald.

BERLIN. Jan. 24-The Turkish
Nationalists will not deal with for
mer Ambassador Henry Morgen-
thau. His appointment by Presi-
dent Wilson as United States rcpr7-
sentative in the Armenian dispute
prejudiccs all chances OF the sue
cess Of mediation between the Turk
ish Nationalists and Armenia so far
as American efforts in that direction
are concerned.
That was the statement made to
me today by TaIsat Pasha. the for
mer grand vizier. H declared:
There is no longer any real con-
fiict between Turkey and Armenia.
II there was. Morgenthau would be
about the last man in the worId
who could successfully mediate or
settle any differences"
This statement was made by
Talaat just after he returned to
Berlin from a mission "sousEhere." 8"
The former grand vizier used
strong language about President
Wilson's mediator.
Says MOrEenthAu Is Unpopular.
'Morgenthau is not liked in Tur-
key" said TaIaat The Turkish
people have little confidence in his
good faith or impartiaIity. How
President Wilson, after all Of Nor
genthaus statements about Turks,
could name him as mediator be
tween Turkey and Armenia, even IL
a mediator were necessary. is be-
yond the comprehension OF every
Turk.
The NatiOnalists want nothing to
do with him"
Discussing the Turkish situation,
Talaat asserted that it was most en-
coUraging for the Nationalists. He
dwelt with pride on the fact that
although Turkey has been involved
for almost ten years in uninterrupt-
ed war, the Turkish people are now
tenaCiously continuing their war
fare against the dictated SevrCs
peace treaty and refuse to become
the slaves OF the entente"
The former grand vizier contended
that there is but one solution Of the
problem Of the Near East. and that
is the revision OF the Sevres peace

Without that revision" he de-
Clared. there will be no peace in

LEADERS in HOUSE
REMAIN DOUBTFUL
ON DISARMAMENT
Some Advocate Waiting
Until Harding Gives
Views on Question.

Anticipating an expression Of Presi-
dent-elect Harding's views on dis
armament in his inaugural address,
House leaders were yesterday de-
batting whether or not to enact legis-
Iation in this session authorizing the
President to call an international
conference on disarmament.
There was some question in the
minds Of many members as to wheth-
er or not the Brooks resolution, al
ready favorably reported by the
House Foreign Affairs Committee
and authorizing the President to call
such a conference, should be acted
upon in this or in the next session.
Naval Hearings.
The House Naval Affairs Commit
tee will resume hearings on disarm-
ament today, when Gen. John J. Per-
shing will appear. The statement
was made by a member of the COM
mittee that further witnesses may be
called, including David Jayne Hill,
whose name has figured in discus
sions on the next Secretary of State.

Illinois, author of the disarmament
resolution, viewed favorably the pas
sage of the measure in this session.
He said that he anticipated consider
alton of the resolution some time in
February following the passage of
the appropriation bills.
Authority Present.
Representative George P. Darrow,
Of nsylvania, pointed out that
the President already had authority
in the Hensley amendment to the
bill authorizing the construction of
the 1915 naval building program 10
call an international conference on
disarmament. Although strongly
fayoring such a conference. he was
doubtful as to whether or not the
passage of the Brooks resolution
would be possible owing to the rush
Of routine work necessary in this
session. Darrow is member of the
House Naval Affairs Committee.
The suggestion of Elihu Root,
former Secretary of State, that ac-
tion on disarmament be postponed
until Preside elect Harding came
in, was attacked by Stephen G. Por-
ter, of Pennsylvania, chairman Of
the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee.
Il have never had confidence in
Roots views since he opposed free
tolls for American ships sassIng
through the Panama Canal.
Unique Situation.
The present situation is unique
in the history of the world. The
United States is unquestionably the
dominant power of the world. She
is advocating disarmament. There
has been no country in history ad-
vocating disarmament when IT was
admittedly the most powerful.
L intend to see this thing
through to the finish. There are
two things that can be done. We
can either pass the resolution in
this Congress and pave the way for
action by the Presid dant- elect, or we
can postpone action until the next
session. have not decided vet
