Washington, Nov. 16.--Walking
sticks aand arms conferences seem
about, as far apart as Cabbages and
Kings or the Carpenters Sealing Wax
and Alice in Wonderland. As matter
Of fact, there's very close alliance
between the two. The arms confer
ence is going to set the fashion in
carrying sticks. Every diplomat from
across the seas has brought his stick
with him. Some Of them have brought
two or, three. Lord Lee of Fareham,
for instance, carried his when he
climbed out of his pullman at the
Union station here. The japanese
delegates all carried them on their
arrival Secretary Hughes has adopted
q Black stick with a crook handle,
Sir Auckland Geddes has carried one
for years and years, as all good Brit
fishers do. Harding, Root, and even
Secretary Weeks have developed the
habit. HUH .'G e. ., ,.. =. - e.
Everybody who is anybody in
Washington today is carrying stick.
The fashionable men 5 shops advertise
tile latest from Piccadilly in walking
sticks in their windows and you may
see, literally scores of young mei,--
and old ones, too, for that, matter,
|eniarging from the government Offices
here for their luncheon with sticks
in the crook of their elbows as if they
had Carried such ornaments all their
lives. y .
Americans generally say that they
have no time to carry such useless
things as walking sticks. The Amer
lean who goes to London or Paris
buys himself walking stick. When
he gets home he drops it like a hot
brickpresumably for fear Of being
laughed at.
Today he has pulled it out into use
again. In the rooms of the govern
1nent Offices here where formerly one
saw but hats and coats hanging on
pegs one now can count the stickless
pegs on ones fingers.

JENNINGS MILLIONS ...
PROVE TO BE A MYTH
. (By United prcss)

London, Nov. 16.~--A heartless
newspaper has just solved the mystery
Of the Jennings Millions" which have
cost members Of the extensive Jen-
nings family all over the world years
of worry and tons of money.
The solution is that there aren't
any Jennings millions and never were.
There are over 5000 claimants to
the Jennings millions, according to
unofficial estimates. The millions have
been estimated at various sums. One
recent claimant suggested 25,0O0,0O0
pounds. As a matter Of fact, the fund
into which the estate was supposed
to be paid to await claimant totals
100000 pounds distributed over
d, 100 separate estates. Also, the "Jen-
nings Millions" were never in this
fund. + ~. y .,a.a. NJ
The myth originated following the
death of Thomas Jennens--the SPELL

happens in committee meetings from

Although the conference has made
notable progress in it's first two ses-u
sions. through che sactibn of : four
great powers, much work REMAINS TO
be done before a complete agreement
can be reached on the two great
problems to come before the confer
ence. They are:
The Pacific and Far Eastern situ-
alton. u.
Limitation Of land ornaments.
Pacific and Far Eastern questions,
it was learned, probably will be
brought up first in committees. Sec
rotary of State Hughes will not place
Americas views on the conference
table in the bold manner in which
he announced this country's program
for limitation of naval ornaments. II
Limitation of land ornaments
probably will be brought before the
conference by Premier BRAND in
open session.
Washington, Nov. 16.--Formally
accepting in "principle and spirit" the
American proposals for reducing and
limiting naval ornaments. Great
Britain, Italy and Japan yesterday
pledged their adherence and began
discussion of details.
Japan wants more than the 60 per
cent, as compared to the United
States and Great Britain, which the
original proposal would allow her. -
France and Italy want to be taken
into consideration at the outset and
not wait for disposal of the question
as it affects the big three. Moreover,
both France and Italy feel that they
should be permitted to increase rather
than decrease their sea forces to bring
them up to figure comparable with
that which is being allowed the oth-'
ers. 49,. E
Great Britain, as previously outlin-
ed, wants the replacement program
spread over period Of years rather
than taken up at the end of ten
year holiday, and she wants further
reduction and definite limitations on
submarines. :
