But she did not come in the morning,
none the less. She was tired in soul
and body and glad to let them spoil
her again, glad to rest and sleep in
the heavenly peace and quiet of the
old home.
Late in the afternoon, rested, fresh,
and her old sweet self in the white
rufiles, she came down to join them.
They had settled themselves under
the redwoods. Anne and Justin, Peter
and Alix and Buck, the dog, all iumned
up to greet her. Cherry very quietly
subsidized into a wicker chair, listened
rather than talked, moved her lovely
eyes affectionately from one to an
other.
Peter hardly moved his eyes from
her, although he did not often adj
dress her directly; Justin was quite
obviously overcome by the unexpected
beauty OF Anne's cousin; Anne -

Anne, had ripened into something

Martin, whose deep dissatisfaction

months before relative to a position
at another mine that seemed better

might, wrote her that the authorities

CONF FEREES To
GE 7 TAX BILL
THIS MORNING
Republican Rank in Congress
Again Shattered in Row
Over Surtax Rates

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. = Presi-
dent Harding may be asked to act
again as mediator in the tax revision
fight.
This is the view of house DEMO
cratic leaders, who point to the wide
split in the Republican ranks in con-
gress on the income surtax provision.
Democrats say that the majority
leaders are opposed to the senate
amendment with its maximum rate OF
so per cent, but are faced with the
possibility of its final enactment
through a coalition of ''insurgent" Re
publicans and the solid Democratic
minorities.
Representative Dickson of Iowa,
and other leaders of the "insurgent"
Republicans in the house, believe
they have sufficient votes, with the
aid of the solid minority, to force &C
ceptance of the senate surtax rates
They have agreed, however, to defer
the fight until after the conferees
get under way their work of rewrit-
ing the tax bill.
Under the agreement as outlined
by both sides, the bill will be sent to
conference tomorrow without instruc-
tions to the house managers, but the
managers before agreeing with their
senate co-workers on the surtax pro-
vision, will ask the house for instruc-
tions. This, it was explained, would
open up the fight in the house, PROB
ably next week.
The tax bill as passed by rne SEN
ate, was reported back today to the
house. Upon examining it, members
found that the senate had added S33
amendments. Despite this great num-
Der of changes, Chairman Fordney,
of the house ways anc n.cans COM
mittee, who will head the house Con-
ferees, said the bill probably would
be in conference only a few days.

Our army has been reduced great

sistent with the security of France,

JAP QUESTIONS
STILL OCCUPY
CENTER STAGE
Greatest Attention Is Shown
By All Delegates to Prob
lens Involving Far East
FAIRNESS is ASSURED
Give Nippon Every Chance to
Explain Its Attitude, Is
Desire of Conferees

WASHINGTON, Nov. g. by the
Associated Press) - The Japanese
question. more particularly as it in
wolves relations between Japan anC
the United States, is taking consider
able prominence in the informal con
ference between delegates to the ar
mament conference.
Representatives of European ma
tions are keenly alive to developments
feeling that they ultimately win be
affected, and there appears in the un
der-currents a feeling that japan
must not be permitted to leave the
conference table feeling that the pow
ers have failed to recognize her right
of existence"
The feeling prevails that any rea
sOnable claims with reference TO pop.
ulation, food supply and raw materials
will be heard with sympathy.
Japan Needs Materials
Food and raw materials were the
two subjects which the late Premier
Hara laid stress on in his utterances
in the weeks before the sailing of The
Japanese plenipotentiaries. 1t is se-
lieved his insistance in keeping Jap
anese troops in Siberia was contested
with the desire to reach a commercial
agreement with the government At
Chita, which would assure some eccn-
omic facilities for Japan in Siberia.
Rich, undeveloped, endowed with min
eral resources, Siberia seems to Japan
a favored land where she could later
send Korean miners and develop the
gold. platinum and other mines found
to the east of the Ural mountains,
The Chita government occupies a
position somewhat between the ex-
treme Bolshevism of Russia proper
and the more moderate government
~ Vladivostok. Put at Chita as at
Vladivostok, the peasant classes seem
to be increasing their influence-an
influence which appears to be based
upon a desire to obtain peace and or
der throughout Siberia. as we'll as
Russia, and an ambition to have driv-
cn out all political adventurers.
Looks Toward Asia
MANY Japanese live in Manchuria,
n country rich in wheat which the
Japanese are trying to induce their
reople to eat The movement is meet
ing some success, but Japan has still
to buy yearly large quantities of rice
in foreign countries, more particular
" from French Indo-China. The Jap
anese, it is said. hope some day 10
make Harbin the Winnipeg of the Far
East. and to carry down to the sea
over the south Manchuria railroad,
the products of MaI:huria and ada
cent Siberia. 1t is here. apparently
as in Mongolia, that Japan would Ike
to extend her economic power and
send more of her people.
1t would appear from statements by
representative Japanese that Japan
has found emigration to western lands
a failure and that she must look to
Asia for relief.
