DISARMAMENT
AND WORLD PEACE
President Proposes Farley to
Four Powers
FAR EAST ISSUES INCLUDED
osition Is Found Acceptable
China To Be In
vited.

Washington.-The momentous deci-
sion to call an international confer
ence in Washington, was announced
by President Harding, to discuss limi-
tation of ornaments and endeavor to
reach a common understanding in re-
gard to the problems of the Pacific
and the Far East.
Great Britain, France, Italy and
Japan are invited to participate with
the United States.
China has also been asked to take
part in the discussions of Far Eastern
questions.
BY direction Of the President the
State Department issued a formal
statement declaring that the nations
known during the war as the "Prin-
cipal Allied and Associated Powers"
and China had been asked informally
whether such conference would be
agreeable with a view to the issuance
of formal invitations later.
1t is understood that favorable re-
plies have been received informally
from all, but some doubt has been ex.
pressed as to Japan's attitude No
date has been fixed for the confer
ence, but it will probably be some
time this fall.
The statement issued by the State
Department said:
1.-THE President, in view of the far.
reaching importance of the question
of limitation of ornaments, has ap-
preached with informal but definite
inquiry the group Of Powers here
tofore known as the Principal Allied
and Associated Powers-that is, Great
Britain, France, Italy and Japan-to
ascertain whether it would be agree
able to them to take part in confer
ence on this subject to be held in
Washington ct time to be mutually
agreed upon.
"If the proposal is found to be
acceptable, formal invitations for such
a conference will be issued.
at is manifest that the question of
limitation of ornaments has a close
relation to Pacific and Far Eastern
problems, and the President has sug-
gested that the Powers especially in
terested in these problems should I'M
dertake, in connection with this con-
ference, the consideration of all mat
tiers bearing upon their solution, with
a view to reaching common under
standing with respect to principles and
policy in the Far East. This has been
communicated to the Powers con-
cerned, and China has also been in
vited to take part in the discussion
,elating to Far Eastern problems"

AMEA|CAN FOR OPEN
DOOR IN CHINA
Insists on FuIfiIIment of Con-
tract With American Co.
OTHER POWERS PROTESTED
ing OF MonopoIies To Other
.. Nationals-Stand For
Equal Rights.

Washington.-Form declaration of
the intention of the United States to
continue support of the principle of
the open door is contained in note
from the State Department to the
Chinese Minister here in respect to a
contract entered into with the Chinese
Government by the Federal Telegraph
Company, an American concern, for
the erection of wireless stations at
Shanghai and other points in China.
The note, which was dated July J.,
was in reply to one of June 9 from
the Chinese Minister inquiring
whether the United States intended
to withdraw it's support from the
Federal Telegraph Company in its
rights accruing under the contract
with the Chinese Government, in view
of protests which have been made by
the British, Japanese and Danish Gov
ernments.
The reply of the State Department
not only makes it clear that the
United States does not propose to
withdraw from the position hitherto
taken in support of the rights of the
American company as a result of TIE
protests of the three governments, but
carries the assurance that "it is the
purpose of this Government neither
to participate nor to acquiesce in any
arrangement which might rurport to
establish in favor of foreign interests
any superiority of rights with respect
to commercial or economic develop
ment in designated regions of the
territories Of China, or which might
seek to create any such monopoly or
preferences as would exclude other
nationals from undertaking any legi-
innate trade or industry, or from
participating with the Chinese Gov
eminent in any category Of public
enterprise"
The protest of the British Govern
ment lodged against the entry of the
Chinese field by the American COM
Company and asserted the conces,
sions granted the latter were of a
monopoEstic character and that the
contract between the Chinese Gov
eminent and the Federal Telegraph
Company was an infringement of the
Marconi rights. The Japanese and
the Danish governments also pro.
tested in behalf of companies or
ganized in Japan and Denmark.

THE sash is one of those items OF
l. dress whose sole mission is to be
ornamental. We have it with us this
summer in many developments, from
narrow girdles with floating ends that
are mere finishing touches of color, to
gorgeous affairs made of brilliant
brocaded ribbons, that dominate the
costume. The dress becomes a back
ground for these pretentious Access
series when they are made of such
splendid stuff.
On midsummer dresses of sheer
materials sashes are often made of
the same fabric as the dress, and &C.
casionally, narrow ribbon is used with
these fabric sashes. Girdles of fabric
finished with bows and long ends of
narrow ribbon make happy combina-
ton, but the handSomest and dreSsieSt
sashes remain, as they always have
been, of ribbons. Three of them are
illustrated here, found among the sim
pier designs, for sashes have been
much elaborated by combining ribbons
of different colors in them and by rib
bon flowers and ornaments. The broad
Egyptian sash, tied in front and held
by some sort of jewelry, is seen on
some of the smart imported models.
