 The men of the conferencel
 Our four-Hughes, Lodge, Root and Under wood. No four better could have been chosen by President Harding Constructive they have proven Broad of gauge, working a team with Harding in the background consulting with them daily There have been no disagree ments. They have worked in the harness of pure Americanism with the full confidence of every delegate from every nation that their every purpose to the most minute detail was for the good of all alike.
 Some talk there has been aoout dssatis- faction among the rampant in the democratic Senate minority of Underwood continuing his minority leadership in that body. There is noth- ing to it. Only a very few of those jealously inclined, or political scrappers, have induged in such.
 But as a matter of fact Underwood is a nat ural majority leader-a constructive statesman
  his people. He is a party mana democrat to the core, but is neither nagger nor sub terranean politician. He believes in open fare; fair party fighting.
 He is none of the bushwhacker, but when party principle and party success is at stake he lets forth high power shells which scatter political death to the enemy.
 Just now Underwood is not only fighting for American government and it's people, but is engaged in the greatest international work of the century-an understanding of the nations and permanent peace of the world.
 Of the men of the conference from other countries two stand out conspicuously-Ba Balfour and Viviani.
 Balfour impresses one most for his great spirit of justness, his splendid manner, his wholesomeness and his determined spirit for the success of the conference. There is none of the politician about him.
 viviani, who returned to France Wednesday, believing in the full success of the purposes of the conference and that his further work could be accomplished by his associates was the orator of them all.
 Although speaking entirely in French, his manner, facial expression and gestures were decided that one, not versed in the language, could follow him. and applaud at the exact happy moment. Frank, firm, appfeeiative and eloquent he would carry the audiences of the open sessions by storm. A great work has been accomplished for his France; and hex has done his part toward the international peace pact
 Of the lesser lights, or those not made so spicuous by the newspapers to date; or, rather, in the oratory of the open sessions of the con ference Sir Robert Borden the Canadian repre- sentative of the British delegation is one of the most prominent, strongest and most cul- tured.
 great statesman, orator and conversation alist; next to Balfour, he is probably the most popular of them all Keen of wit he is as full of good stories over the dinner table as he is of practical suggestions in committee sessions. But of the lights of the arms conference more anon.
 No treat has been more delightful, nothing so instructive, and above all no set of people more wholesome or generous of purpose than those of the many nations about the peace pact board in Washington now. To him who served his ten years as Washington cores pondent in the days when there were great men in both the Senate and House of Representa- tives a week in Washington of this period has been we'll worth the while to
