Not a single serious protest against
any feature OF the program has so far
been received by the State Depart.
ment, officials said. While the p-ess
Of Europe and Asia has founi con.
siderable fault with the program and
predicted dire things, the governments
involved have assured the United
States that the projected scope Of the
meeting Is satisfactory.
Sir Auckland Geddes. the British
ambassador, and Baron Shidehara.
the japanese ambassador, both have
made Suggestions" concerning the
program, but these have been mostly
OF a clarifying nature, II Is said, and
they have not changed the program
in any essential particular.
There is every prospect that by
time the conference assemblies, on
November II, one OF the subjects
can be stricken off the program as
originally proposed. That is the
one relating to inundated islands"
The only inundated island in the
Pacific in which the United States lie
vitality interested is zap, and II was
predicted tonight In official quarters
that this long-drawn-out controversy
will be definitely settled within the
next few weeks.

agreement" has been reached be-
tween Secretary Of State Hughes and
Baron Shidehara, and that the pro-
visions of this agreement have been
communicated TO the principal allied
and associated powers.

take up the adjustment Of foreign
loans.
While. generally speaking, the
United States is willing to discuss any
question which has a bearing on
armament and international peace anG
stability. the highest officials of the
Administration consider 1t would be a
mistake to introduce such a mo.

conference that was called primarily
to limit armament and settle disputed
questions in the Pacific.
No official would speak for publica-

No Change Will Be

The American program for the
November armament and Far East
conference. proposed by Secretary of
State Hughes several weeks ago, will
stand as written and will become the
permanent program of the confer
ence. It was predicted today by Ad-
ministration officials.
The principal objections to the pro-
posed agenda had been expected from
Japan. However, the Japanese cabinet
Ii reported to have given its approval
to the American proposals 'in princi-
pie" and It Is not anticipated that
there will be objections from other
quarters.

matrimonial tangle lifted partly to-
day.
1t disclosed the stage set for ore
of the most stupendous domestic
dramas which has ever figured in
American divorce annals.
Wealthy Families Involved.
Preparations already made threaten

legal contest the names of some of
the wealthiest families of America.
Lawyers and detectives are busy
perfecting their parts in the coming

Dudley Field Malone. counsel for
Nine. Walska, today said his client
is facing her part in the thrilling
drama without stage fright.
Malone said Nine. Walska has re-
jected overtures for a French divorce.
Proceedings by Samuel Untermyer,
Cochran's lawyer, indicate a New
York suit.
"IIas Grounds for Divorce"
Malone said:
mime. Walska did not need to have
Mr.. Cochran offer her a French di-
vorce. He gave her sufficient grounds
for 1t.
Under French law. he deserted
her when he left their matrimonial
domicile at II Rue de Lubbock, Paris.
He committed a grave injury,
recognized by French law as ground
for divorce, when he barred her from
her home. l had a French officer

Leading Figures In Case.

who figure in reports of the case:

"I watched the situation closely.

Gossip concerning Nine. Walska' s
past, which hints at incidents in her
early artistic career. cannot possibly
be introduced into the court records
Of any matrimonial action between
her and Cochran, Malone said yes
terday.
Hints Of Early Career.
Since last May. when Cochran left
his wife in Paris to go to England,
stories have been circulated concern
ing her early career. These describe
her as a Polish girl of humble origin,
whose family name was Puaoz. Some
Of the gossip is to the effect that
there was an incident in her early
life which closely parellels the un-
fortunate experience Of Magda in the
Sundermann drama of that name.
SHOW me an opera singer who
hasn't had early love affairs! Sup
pose Nine. Walska had one or d
dozen love affairs. Suppose Nnter-
myer really has the affidavit he has
been whispering about to reporters.
No one can say truthfully one UNI
kind word about her since she be-
came the wife of r. Fraenkel. They
were devoted to each other and were
ideally happy.
"Mr. Cochran will be unable to
show any infiledity to him. Nine.
Walska Is a grown woman. She was
devoted to Cochran. She believed he
would return to her. She believed that
when he left her in May he would
come back, as he had come back after
frequent previous separations.
She appreciates the position at
which she has arrived and you may
depend on it that she has done moth

one-third what American labor re-
