LONDON CONFIDENT
JAPANESE WILL ACCEPT

London. July l3-(By the Asso-
cia,ed Press)-Word has nat vet
reached London whether Japan has
accepted President Hardine's invita-.
ton to a conference for the l!mta-
ton of ornaments, but there Is little
doubt here that acceptance Will be
forthcoming.
The personal attacks which hav.
been made in some quarters on Pre-
mier Lloyd George and Lord Curzon
in connection with their possible
visit to Washington are generally de.
precated.
The idea is that If the armaments
conference materiallzes, us sessions
would be prolonged. which would
keep the various preniers from their
duties in Europe for too lengthy a
period.
