have received a new lease on life,
as II were, in the shape of a FIVE
foot platform which has been con-
structed in the center OF the street
around the circle.
The route which thoughtful mo-
torists now take in their brief trip
through the circle is dependent
upon the source Of the entrance
into the circle and al the street
by which they leave the circle. The
two platforms, one on the east side
and the other on the west side of
the circle are clipped of at their
projection at the east and west
sides of Sixteenth street.

The motorist travelling north or

DEFINITESTEP
FOR DISARMINC
EXPECTED SOON
Statement by Administra-
ton Only Matter of
Few Days.
CONSENT OF BRITAIN
BELIEVED ASSURED
Hughes Reported to Be in
Touch with England
And Japan.
By A. l.. BRADFORD.

A definite step toward disarma-
ment may be expected shortly. II
was understood last night from
high authority.
A public pronouncement from
President Harding or Secretary OF
State Hughes may be a matter OF
only a fe wdays. it was strongly in
dicated here.
Already Secretary of State Hughes
is understood to have obtained the
consent Of Great Britain and pos
sibly of Japan to a disarmament
conference between those two coun-
tries and the United States.
Word From Harvey.
Secretary Hughes is believed to
have received this word from Col
George Harvey. American ambassa-
dor to London. yesterday. He went
Immediately to, the white House to
confer with President Harding, and
later in the day he visited the Presi-
dent again. when he is believed to
have presented to Mr.. Harding for
nnal approval the action he intends
to take on the word from London.
Following the White House con-
ferences, il was stated Secretary
Hughes may be dispatching notes
to Great Britain and japan, in which
he may be virtually calling a con-
ference in the name of President
1t was stated on high authority
that the favorable word which has
been received from London on the
disarmament question must in no
wise be considered a suggestion
from the British government for a
disarmament conference, but that
Great Britain is simply expressing
agreement with this country.
Cursor Asked Conference.
According to reports from Lon
don, Lord Curzon. the British Sec
retary for Foreign Affairs, IRE
quested" a disarmament conference
in interviews which he had with
Ambassador Harvey and Ambassa-
dor Hayashi OF Japan. -.-
The United States took the initi-
ative in disarmament when Presi-
dent Harding sent diplomatic in
quiries" to Great Britain and Japan
through Ambassador Harvey in
London "as to the acceptability and
advisability" of a disarmament con-
ference.
1t was learned last night that
some consideration was given to
making public the decision of Presi-
dent Harding and Secretary Hughes,
but desire was expressed that first
this decision be communicated to
London and Toxic.
The clear Information that de-
have so shaped them
selves that a decision for definite
acton has been taken by the Amerf-
can government, follows anxious
months of agitation in the United
States. Great Britain and Japan.
Britain Reported Eager.
Great Britain Is believed glad to
accede to a disarmament conference,
because of the dilemma she has
found herself in regarding a re-
newal of the Anglo-Japanese alli-
ance.
Secretary Hughes is understood
to have made plain to British Am
bassador Geddes the opposition of
sentiment toward the al
lance, and Great Britain is believed
to have been reluctane to renew Il
inthe face Of this opposition from
the United States, eagerly turning
to a conference Of the three powers
to discuss disarmament as the easi-
est way out of the difficulty.

Bishop of London Deplores
Lack of Interest in Spir-

LONDON. July 9.-The Bishop OF
London. in an article in the Morn
ing Post this morning, takes Great
Britain to task for its lack of in.
terest in spiritual matters. He de-
clares he greatly disappointed al
the general effect of the great con-
fiict on the Individual soldier, say
ing there is no sign of a spiritual
revival, and says all the young
people think about dancing and
other forms of amusement.
Half in joke / gave leave after
the armistice, for all the young
people in my diocese to dance their
heads off for a year. They have
done so now for nearly three years"
The bishop announced he would
oppose any return tothe old drink
ing laws of Great Britain. He
pointed out that in 1915 when the
drinking hours in Great Britain
were reduced, convictions of drunk
enness In London in the one year
fell froM $1,000 to 1900. He says
this was not entirely due to enlist
ments as among women the convic-
tions in two years fell from 21,o0o
