attitude toward the whole affair.
Where they get that idea cannot
see.
Zone of the biggest delegates TO
this meeting and representative OF
a mighty important country, is Lord
Lee Of Fareham, head OF the British
admiralty. When he landed in this
country he was asked what he
thought the chances were of the
conference ending in a failure he
said he was certainly not prepared
even to consider the possibilities of
failure. He explained that to admit
failure would be to say that the
world was crazy with the idea of
war, and could never get over IT,"
But, Uncle Ted" said Jack, You
have said there will always be
wars"
II said, Jack, and still say, that
so long as human beings are human
and constituted as they are today, so
that individuals quarrel with one
another, then nations are bound to
have differences. do not believe
that il is possible, and certainly not
now, to get the countries of the
world to disarm. That is not, in
fact, the idea. II the meeting in
Washington results in CUTTING
DOWN the terrible outlay for arms,
it has taken the biggest step in his
tory towards world peace.
"Then you have looked at ii this
way. No matter what we think of
certain countries. the people are
more or less alike. The majority
want no war and are anxious and
even demand that something be
done to help the situation. Right
in Washington today is a 90-year-
old Japanese woman who has trav-
eled the thousands "a miles from

her country with a petition signed
by thousands of Japanese women
urging that something be done to
lessen the chances of their sons de-
ing butchered on the fields of bat
tie. And so it is every country rep
resented at the meeting. The dele
gates will not dare return to their
homes and report failure They
must succeed. and the weight of
what is expected at home will have
a big effect and solve many a tangle
that even tho strictest rules of d.
plomacy would fail to solve.
"Since | talked to you last, Pres
ident Harding named the advisory
committee to assist the four Amer
lean delegates. The meeting is now
under way and the members are get
ting down to hard work President
Harding could not have possibly
named q finer advisory COMMITTEES.
He overlooked no class of people by
those he selected. There are repub-
licans and democrats, men and wo-
men, holding theories of all kinds,
represented.
There is no doubt in my mind
that the conference will show re-
suits. II is only a question OF how
far the agreements will go in limit
ing navies and armies and reducing
the hinge costs that nations are now
paying for keeping np the strength
of their defenses. With the settle
ment of disputes that now form the
excuse for building big navies and
keeping large armies in the field,
nations win have no further reason
for charging their forces, and they
will be quite willing to put limits
upon them IL all other countries do
the same"

Employed Married Women

10 the Editor Of tho Evening Public Ledger:
sir--It would appear from tho letters OF
your correspondents that they have rather
warped idcas concerning the employment OF
married women. Assuming that the mar
rfed woman seeking employment has nus
band capable OF or hn income suinciont
10 support her in comfort, ! will try IN
explain to your correspondents on this sub
sect why help OF their kind should not be
employed.
When a married woman takes a position
she not only interferes with her family
euties, but she is also keeping some one
who has no visible means OF support from
gaining a livelihood What would be the
patural outcome OF this evil? II means that
these who were kept from securing posi-
tion are either thrown upon tho merees 81
charitable Institutions or are forced Into
performing questionable acts. often leadins
&c crimes against themselves and society.
II means also that II they have any on

ere grossly neglected and are left to grow
up under the lax supervision OF disinteresteo
: and incompetent parties.
think that one who is endowed with tbs
qualifications that one OF your correspondent'

The most delightful climate in the United
States Is to be found In California. There
Is more sunshine there, In comparison with
the change of climate. than there Is In any
other State. In Southern California the
climate may be said TO reach perfection. Al

bring TO your notice the following remark

quoted In a New York paper Of May 20

COTTON MARKETS
 DECLINE SHARPLY

Declines averaging about $2.50 a bale were the net results of activities in the cotton markets today. The American markets opened lower in response to a sharp break in Liver pool and frequent rallies were not sustained, the final quotations being at about the low marks of the day.
 New York October contracts closed today 60 points net lower at 1880 cents and December declined 5S points, closing at 1852 cents. New Orleans October and December each lost 47 points, the former closing at 1915 cents and the latter at 1883 cents. Spots on the New York market de- clined 50 points to 1870 cents and on the New Orleans market they dropped 25 points to 1850 cents.
 The local market which has been pushed up to point considerably above that justified by the big mar kets, was about cent pound lower today than yesterday. Most of the cotton sold here today brought from 21 to P cents.
