because of his personal acquaintance
with many men who will come here
in the military groups of the other
powers.
Another who has been mentioned as
qualified to advise the American dele
gates on military subjects is Major
General Tasker H. Bliss, former chief
of staff, and a member of the supreme
military peace conference of the al
lies before he became a delegate to
the Versailles peace conference. He
is stationed in Washington and it Is
expected he will be consulted many
times as the negotiations proceed.
For the navy, it is believed gener-
ally that Admiral Coontz. the chief of
operations, will be chosen as a chief
adviser to the delegation. 1t is not
UNLIKELY that he may be seconded by

Supporters of Administration
Measure Succeed in Voting
Down Amendments
NOW GOES TO SENATE
Upper House of Congress is
Expected to Delay Vote
Until After Recess

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-The ad-
ministration railroad funding bill
was passed tonight by the house. The
measure now goes to the senate.
The vote was PA to 1913. 1t is not
the present intention of the senate to
take up the bill before the recess.
An unsuccessful effort was made to
eliminate Section whichrs povides
that no payments shall be made by
the government to any carriers ION
account of the so-caled ineffiiclency
of labor during federal control. An
amendment to strike out this provis-
ion, offered by Representative Web
ster, Washington, Republican men,
Der of the commerce commission,
which had faverably been reported,
was rejected 145 to II.
Another provision of the section
which Webster failed to have strick-
en- out stipulated that no funds shall
be used in making settlements with
carriers which did not forever bar
such carriers from setting up any fur
ther claim, right. or demands of any
kind. or character, against the Unit
ed States. growing out of or connect
ed with the possession, use or opera
tion of such carriers property by the
United States during the period of
federal control
Amendments Lost
Proponents of the measure succeed
ed in voting down all motions to
amend the bill in all important partic
ulars and as passed. the measure, ex-
cept for few minor changes, is in
the form in which it was reported to
the house.
During four hours of general de-
bate. three members of the commerce
; committee besides Webster-Repre
sentatives Rayburn, Texas; Johnson
Mississippi. and Huddleston, Alaba
ma, all emocrats-expressed oppo'
sition to the bill. Rayburn, however,
urged retention of the section which
Webster urged eliminated.
Contending the government was
bound bv previous legislation to rec
ognize claims growing out of labor

of the bill without elimination of the
! clause to which he objected, would

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. = fBy the
Associated Press. While diplo-
matte formalities of the disarmament
conference meve forward with delib-
GRAFTON, the American government is
at work defining principles and collect
ing information which will guide its
representatives at the council table.
Considerable progress is understood
to have been made both toward prep
aration of plans and data for the
American commissioners and toward
a canvass of the diplomatic field to
determine what international PROB
lens are to be considered within the
scope OF the conference. Both the
army and the navy have taken an ex-
tensive part in the governments prep
arations. a.' ,
Meantime, although the conference
has become an assured fact, through
the informal acquiescenee of all invit'
ed powers, the perfunctory story OF
formal diplomatic exchanges continue
to hold the center of the stage so far
as surface developments are concern
ed. and to be the theme of all avail
able official comment. The formal
acceptance of Great Britain reached
the state department today. Formal
acceptance from Japan, Italy and
France are yet to come.
The preparation of army intelli
gence has gone forward directly un

Is taken for granted he will occupy
