CALM OF POTOMAC
MOST INSPIRING
CALL FOR CONFERENCE BORN
ON CRUISE
President Harding Given Credit for
Working Out Plan Alone and
Unaided

Washington, Nov. 17.-Who for
mulated and executed the call for the
armament conference? Who evolved
the American proposals for naval
limitation?
The country has been asking these
questions for the last week and has
been hearing variety of answers.
The best "inside story" in Washington
today has all the ear marks of being
the correct answer. President Hard
ing, on one of his weekend cruises
down the Potomac early this autumn,
SO the story runs, locked himself in
his state room one evening and left
word that he did not wish to be dis
turbed because he was writing. A
little later, the president called to his
room one by one, some of the close
friends in public life who had accom-
panied him and laid before them some
sheets of paper nd on which he had
written with lead pencil, and with
frequent corrections and interlinea-
tions, something which they ali read
with amazement and greatest inter-
est:
1t was the invitation to the nations
to the arms conference.
After some conference among the
party it was decided to forward the
text to Secretary Hughes, and the
yacht Mayhower, laid up for the night
in the still waters Of a secluded cove
in the reaches of the river, bazzed off
from her wireless that night to the
state department the words which
later, were to ring around the world.
of course, the preliminary diplo-
matte feele- was transmitted to the
nations concerned, but it is said that
the text of the final and formal invi
tation as it later went out was sub
stantially the same as President Hard
ing had conceived it that night while
resting on the yacht Mayfower down
the river
The evolution of the concrete Am
esiean proposal for naval limitation
Secretary Hughes bombshell-also
heard around the world at the first
session, still is another story.
Some admirers have ascribed them
To Secretary Hughes alone while some
other persons have declared they were
the composite effort of the four Amer
lean delegates Of whom Mr.. Hughes is
one. Everybody seems agreed that
they were not drafted by naval Off
cials, and almost everybody had left
out President Harding until today's
'.inside story" began to circulate.
The great secret which Arthur J.
Balfour referred to so artistically in
his address of Tuesday, must indeed
have been well kept, because, between
seven and ten men knew it. That
n,arnber includes the four American
delegates and President Harding. The
others worked on various phases of
the proposal. 1t is known of course
that it was based on memoranda
cElled from the navy department and
it WAS carried into execution by the
American big four which Secretary
Hughes heads, but the "big idea'' on
which the plan is built, the ''inside
story, says, came from President
Harding.

BLOOMER GIRLS WIN HARD
 FOUGHT BATTLE 2S to Z7

Last Monday afternoon, the Bloomer Girls administered a sound defeat to a team gather ed from the male citizens of the town who had the courage to meet this group of lady twirlers on the ball diamond. The game was scientific af- fair and also a test of endur- ance.E It has been maintained that girls lack the endurance necessary to the successful exc cution of the great national game but these girls rounded the bases 2S times in a full 9 inning game and were still ready to continue the fray had it been necessary to do so. While it is true that their male antagonists at the cost of hard playing and severe taxing of wind, managed to push their side of the score to 27, yet it was generally admitted that the men were thoroughly out played.
 This is the first game of the season for the Boomer girls and they feel much elated at being able to make a victorious start. They are very anxious to cross bats with a girls team from some neighbor town, but thus far have been unable to get any response to the chal- lengeS they have sent out.
