z. C. Berry, past president of the
Rock Island Aerie of Eagles, No.
e56. delegate to the national con-
yention of the order being held at
Newark, n. j., has forwarded copy

names of new officers and other i'm
portant information to Rock Island
Eagles, as contained in the Newark
Ledger, follows:
Congressman John NJ. NORM, Of
Pittsburgh, was elected to succeed
Gilbert D. Wood, of San Francisco,
grand worthy president Herbert
Choynski, of San Francisco, was
elected grand vice president, while
John S. Parry, of Kansas City, Mo-,

Nevertheless in a purely personal
way such information as the Brit
ish may have sought to determine
our attitude was given. America is
absolutely opposed to dual alliances
or three-cOrnered treaties of any
kind involving such obligations as
are contained in the Anglo-Japa1-
csc agreement. To be sure, the
Harding administration has placed
itself on record as opposed to any
arrangement even though it include
all the powers of the world such as
the League covenant proposed
whereby obligations of a military
character are directly or indirectly
implied or expressed.
Have Much TO Learn.
Feeling that way about the
League of Nations, any proposal for
q three-cornered treaty would meat
the same fate. The British have
not yet learned the depth of feel
ing in the Harding administration
on that phase of international af-
fairs as only few days ago the AS
SOCIdIeu fIGSS ulSpdLCneS referred
again to the hope of British off
Gals that America would help in
the negotiation of a pact that would
be substituted for the Anglo-Jap-
anese alliance.
The American government is not
engaging at this time in a dis
cussion of her own desires or plans.
She wants the powers who are in
vited here to do the suggesting and
mould the program. There isn't any
American attitude" toward the Far
East which can be reduced to con-
crete terms. 1t absolutely conforms
for the moment TO the general terms
Of the invitations sent all the now

would prefer not to assume an in
itiative that might be misunder-

ment has nothing up its sleeve. In
the words of President Harding
the United States is eager
to 'lay all the cards on the table
