HARDING STUDYING
SELECTI0N-0EAS
ARMS MEET HEADS
To Choose Best Talent
Without Any Political
Bias, Says Writer.
BY ROBERT J. BENDER,

Selection OF Americas best-in-
FORMED diplomatic talent. regardless
of political affiliations, is the aim
of President Harding and Secretary
Hughes for the negotiating commits
sion and the various divisions Of
experts to represent this country
at the disarmament conference.
Probably within the next ten days
Mr.. Hughes will issue Q formal note
summoning the conference to Wash
ington at Washington on November
IL. Ali of the governments con-
cerned have acquiesced in the date
suggested This out of the way,
the most vital consideration Of
Hughes and Harding is the person.
mel of the American delegation.
Must Use Care.
1t is a well, understood fact that
both England and France in the
past have established regulations for
diplomacy throughout the world, far
above that of the United States
Their experts on world affairs are
established everywhere on a scale
that the United States has never
even approached. 1t Is realized by
those who have sponsored the forth
coming conclave, therefore, that If
this government is to hold its own
in the great diplomatic struggle
approaching. extraordinary care
must be exercised in the selection
Of its negotiators and experts.
President Harding, too, is cogni-
zant of the fact that not only must
the United States get what it hopes
for from the countries represented
in the conference. but that later he
must win over Congress and the
people in whatever convention is
signed by the conference. IL his
project is not to follow the path
of the treaty of Versailles. There
fore, Mr.. Harding Is going to select
the representatives Of this govern
ment in such a manner that the cry
of "a partisan commission" raised
against former President Wilson's
appointments, cannot be raised
again. The negotiators will be Sc
lected. IL is said, with an eye solely
to their fitness for the big under
taking and the likelihood Of their
being given enthusiastic popular
support
Experts. it is said, will be select.
ed entirely on the basis of their
familiarity with the problems to be
taken up and with no regard for
political Affiliations.
Because the conference Is now
but three months off, Harding and
Hughes propose to make their se-
lections soon. in order that the ne
gotiators and the experts may be.
gin work on the mass of data that
will have to be compinled. As in
ternational exchanges 60 forward on
the subjert of the agenda, the ne
gotiators and experts will. be kept
advised on the subjects agreed upon
for later consideration So that they
may keep pace in preparation.

TRIPLE PACT PLAN
OF BRITAIN GIVEN
COLD RECEPTION
Proposed by Dominion
Premiers, Writer
Learns Here.
LBy chie.ro Tribun. seryioe.l

The British government, IL is
learned, through disclosures con-
cerning exchanges over the forth
coming Washington conference on
reduction of armaments, has sought
to bring about an understanding be-
tween the United States. Great Brit
ain and Japan as a substitute for
the Arglo-Lapanese alliance
This desire, It is declared here.
actuated the British in proposing to
the United States a conference Of
the three powers. to be held in Lon
don. the United States or Canada
prior to formal parleys on limita-
ton of armaments and eastern ques
tions on November IL. 1t was this
preliminary conference which Presi-
dent Harding and. Secretary Hughes
opposed so effectively that the pro-
posal was abandoned.
U. s. Attitude MisusderstOod.
A summary OF the proceedings OF
the imperial conference in London
given to the press Friday night
clearly indicated the wish OF Great
Britain for the tri-partite substitute
for the troublesome Anglo-Japanese
pact. According 10 the British dis
closure Japan had signified willing
ness to attend the proposed prelim-
mary meeting, which the British
government suggested should en-
brace representatives of only the
three powers mentioned. II was
thought in Washington that the rea-
sons of the United States in oppos-
ing the preliminary conference were
clearly understood. but in view Of
statements contained in the official
summary of proceedings of the
British imperial confe: ence. there
seems to be some explanation lack
ing OF the objection by this gov
ernment
The British governments course
In proposing a tri-partite confer
ence is supposed to have been
urged by the prime ministers Of
Canada and Australia, New Zeal
and and South Africa.
Urged by Dominion Chiefs.
NJ the outset OF the imperial
conference, Lloyd George made
known that a desire for closest re-
lations with the United States
would actuate the proceedings. and
it became plain that the prime min
listers of British overseas domin-
ions were opposed to renewal of any
alliance between the mother coun-
try and Japan that could be CON-
strued as inimical to America Out
OF this situation came the decision
Of the imperial conference that the
Anglo-Japanese alliance should not
be renewed.
Lloyd George and his advocates
of the imperial and the overseas
government are known to have no
illusions regarding negotiation of a
treaty of alliance between Great
Britain and the United States 20
which rejected the league of ma
They understand that President
Harding and Secretary Hughes
would not seek any arrangement,
Even IL they were willing to ne
gotiate a treaty Of alliance they
would be deferred by the knowledge
that it would not have the slightest
chance Of ratification by a Senate
which reected dthe league OF ma
tions covenant and was even un-
willing TO consider the Franco
American treaty Of defense. which
President Wilson signed in Paris,
to furnish assurance Of security de-
manded by Clemenceau as the price
of French agreement to certain
terms of the Versailles treaty.

NSorresponoent OF tne Shi&to 4reens'l
LONDON. August ALI but one
OF the thirty-eight members of Dali
Eireann now imprisoned or detained
in British internment camps in Ire
land and England will have been
released by tomorrow morning, ac-
cording to official announcement
from the Irish office today.
The sole exception is John J. Nc
keown a commander in the Repub-
lican army who has been convicted
of murder of District Inspector Nc
Grah.
Arouses Big Protest.
Today's announcement followed a
statement yesterday from Dublin
Castle to the effect that the govern
ment had decided to release the cap
tises, except McKeown, in order
that they might first consult with
their colleagues and then attend the
meeting of Dali Eireann in Dublin
on August is, called by Eamonn de
Valera for the purpose OF framing a
reply to Lloyd Georges peace pro-
posals.
The fact that McKeown' will not
be given liberty has created much
concern among the Sim Fsin lead
ers, reports from Dublin say, and IL
il expected that a protest will be
framed and forwarded to Downing
Street. The others were granted
unconditional freedom, and the
governments action in excepting
McKeown is generally thought to
H. efftraNfnn
One of Mr.. De Valera's colleagues
declared today that such action
was CONTRARY to the spirit of the
as II is indefensible."
The civil authorities at Dublin
were given an added power yester-
day when it was announced that
in future inQuests by the civil
coroner would be permitted. Since
the beginning Of martial law all
inQuests have been conducted by
the military.
De Valera and Craig Confer.
It can be stated as positive. ac-
cording to a government official,
that informal negotiations between
Sir James Craig. Ulster premier,
and De Valera. looking to a set
tlement of difficulties between
North and South Ireland, have
been going on ever since the two
leaders returned to ireland after
the interrupted preliminary peace
conference with Lloyd George.
1t Is believed Dali Eircann will
take some action regarding Nc
Keown's Imprisonment. when it
meets. 1t is recalled that Nc
Keown defended himself at the
court martial, declaring that he
fred to defend himself when the
house in which he had taken shell
ter was surrounded.
The remainder Of the Dali
Eireann members now in Jail are
probably to be released tomorrow.
While II is declared no definite
scheme for harmony has been ar
rived at, il Is known that certain
MINOR points have been cleared up
and 1t is thought probable that
the two neeotiators will meet in
London shortly after the SESSION
of Dali Eireann and possibly be-
fore that meeting.

Benny Leonard Carries Horse
shoe in Right Hand Glove

One explanation, though doubted at
first, was that the long list of knock
outs which Benny Leonard has to his
record has been the result of carry
ing a horseshoe in one of his sleep
producing mitts. Both of Benny's
gloves have sent many promising bat
tiers over the sleep route. but the
right hand, and the fist that gets the
greater portion OF he credit. Is the one
that carries the horseshoe.
Just recently the information leaked
out that the lightweight champion
was packing horseshoe in his glove.
the source of knowledge was disclosed
by one of his trainers. who candidly
admitted that 1t wasn't an iron horse
shoe, but birthmark, with the iden-
teal outlines OF the footwear worn
by the trusty steed. Leonard
confessed his first knowledge of
the hidden treasure when one of
his handlers informed the champion
that he had been carrying 1t with him
all thru life and that 1t perhaps was
responsible for his sensational rise to
the title.
The birthmark may have been a
token of good luck but the victims of
Benny's dreamland kicks came from
well developed forcarms and shoulder
muscles.
