Wilson to Keep
His Hands Off
Former President Not to Interfere in
Negotiations of Disarmament
Conference.
BY HARRY HUNT

Washington-Wo Wilson. for
mer president of the United States, has
adopted "hands off" policy with re-
spect to the disarmament conference.
No utterance, touching on the af-
fairs of the conference, will be voiced
by the former chief executive-at
least until the conference has had ev-
cry opportunity to negotiate an<agree-
ment.
If negotiations fail, or if the agree
ments arrived at seem un-Americn,
then, but not till then, will he inject
his views into the discussion
Should that occasion develop, the
country might see just such another
long drawn fight in the Senate as oc-
Cured over the Versailles treaty and
the League of Nations, with the Demo-
cratic minority preventing the neces-
sary two-thirds vote required for rati-
fication Of any conference treaties.
Such a contingency, however, is not
expected even by the most bitter Dem
ocratic partisans. Wilson is said to
be both sympathetic and hopeful as to
the outcome of the Washington con
ICIGHCC' VI CllG dlIt VI LlIE COu1cE-
ence goes at least part way toward the
goal at which he aimed.
Wilson desires to keep altogether in
the background personally during the
conference.
It is as yet by no means sure that he
will attend the ceremonies at the bur
ial of the unknown soldier at Airing
ton on Nov. II.
The former president certainly will
take no part in the brilliant social
functions. There will be no formal
entertaining at the Wilson home dur
ing the conference.
Because of the intimate contact be-
tween Wilson and Lloyd George dur
ing the Paris conference, when both
were members of the Council of Four,
it is considered certain that the Brit
ish premier will call and pay his re-
spects to the former president.
But beyond that the former chief
executive is expected to have no direct
contact with the confreres.

Racine Lad Dies
in Hunting Accident
(By Associated Press Leased Wire

Racine, Wis. = Vern Dean, 10, was

points of the American program.
Acceptance in principle" is a dip
lomatic phrase which while marking an
important mile post in an ipternation-
al negotiation, does not by any means
assure it's conclusion in original form.
Sees Advance in Negotiations.
Acceptance in principle in this case
is taken by observers to means that
Great Britain will net close her &C
ceptance finally until the conference
has proceeded to conclusions in the
cases of France and Italy, and it may
indeed be further conditioned upon the
development. of the discussion of Far
Eastern affairs. Great Britain's ac-
ceptance in principle, however, is re-
garded as long step toward the sue
cess of the conference along the lines
laid down by the American delega-
ton.
One of the points on which the Brit
ish may feel some need for reserva-
ton, it is said, is on the question
of submarine tonnage. They may ask
to have it fixed lower than proposed by
Secretary Hughes. Another question
is that of means to preserve the
efficiency and organization of ship
yards during holiday of ten years.
At the State Department there was
every indication today that the public
reaction from his governments first
bold step in the conference had been
entirely reassuring. Messages of
praise and approval came to Secretary
Hughes office by thousands and the
White House likewise was deluged
with congratulatory expressions on

BLUE STEEL GUN
AIDS HOLDUP MAN
Stanley Nauks Of Grogan
Street, Meets Bold Hold
up Man Saturday.
CASH AND WATCH
Persuaded by Blue Steel Gun
Victim Gives Over Twenty
Dollars and Gold Watch.

The blue steel gun, as an active pur-
suader to separate Kenosha people
from their money and turn it into the
pockets Of the gentry who live by
crime came into prominence on Satur-
day night just after half past seven
o'clock when Stanley Nauks, residing
on Grogan street, just west of Dur
kee avenue, was held up and robbed
by an unknown man on Milwaukee ave-
nue. just off of Grand avenue. The
stick-up man who seemed to be very
familiar with the trigger of the blue
steel gun got away with something
over twenty dollars in money and
gold watch and chain valued at as
much more. The crime was one of
the most daring ever committed in the
city and the man made his escape and
the police as yet have not been able to
get any idea of his identity. Nauks
reported the robbery within few
minutes after he had been frisked but
the police officers found no one in the
neighborhood who they felt justified
in taking as suspect. It is believed
that the man hurried away from the
scene of the robbery and managed to
get under cover before Nauks could
report his robbery.
Gimme Match" is Start OFF.
Nauks was walking north along Mil
waukee avenue, near the N. R. Aliens
Sons lumber yard and as it was early
in the evening he had no fear of being
assaulted. AS he passed the lumber
yard the man walked out from the
shadow Of the lumber piles. Gimme
a MATCH" he said, as he sided up to
Nauks on the sidewalk and he stepped
in front of him to block the way. Nauks
said, Sure" and reached for his peck
ct. AS he took his hands out of his
pocket the hold-up man presented the
blue steel revolver. "Now stick them
up and keep STILL" was his second re-
quest but it had the punch of COM
mand and the unfortunate Nauks
"stuck them up" The man went
through his pockets in jig time taking
twenty dollars in bills and some small
change and then took the watch and
chain. "That's all you got" the fell
low shouted at Nauks with a look of
disappointment. Nauks admitted that
he had been stripped of everything he
had.
Ordered to Walk Backward.
"Now you walk right back the way
you came and keep your mouth Shut"
was the concluding order of the bold
robber to Nauks as he dropped the
money and the watch into his pocket.
Nauks complied and as soon as he got
to the corner of Grand avenue he ran
as fast as he could. He found Police
Officer Westbrook and made report
of the robbery and later he reported it
at the police office.
1t was declared that not a person
came along while the hold-up was be-
ing staged.
Nauks gave the police a pretty good
description of the hold-up man. He
said that he appeared to be about
thirty-fve years of age and to weigh
about hundred and sixty-fve pounds.
He talked excellent English and Nauks
volunteered the information that he
appeared to be very handy with the
gun. The man wore a mackinaw coat
and a dark gray hat.

GRAND CELEBRATION
OF ANNIVERSARY OF
CHARACTERISTICS CORPS
Reserve Force In All Parts OF Amer
len VIII BE Called Together
For Big Celebration.

If it humanity possible Major Cen
eral H. l.. Rogers, the Quartermaster
General of the Army, will get together
nthe larger centers throughout the
United States all the $500 officers of
the Quartermaster Reserve Corps on
June 16 next to celebrate the 146th
anniversary of the birthday of the
Corps. Invitations are going out to
them from Washington for series of
birthday dinners which will stretch
around the globe from Coblenz to
China, in honor of the event.
During the war $4,000 civilians were
commissioned as officers in the Quar-
termaster Corps, of whom nearly 60
per cent. joined the Reserve on their
discharge. AS rule they were the
younger business men fthe country,
and heads of departments in large
firms and factories. The Army propos-
es to keep them in touch with military
affairs by including them in all its
gatherings and Publications.
Every large city in the United States
will have dinner of its own and there
is a regular or reserve officer in each
place in charge of getting together the
Reservists. Messages by cable, wire
and radio will be exchanged among
the diners, and General Rogers ad-
dress will be read wherever his for
mer officers gather.
eve sincerely hope said General
Rogers recently, chat as many Quar-
termaster Reserve Officers as possible
in all parts of the country will attend
these anniversary dinners, and we
want them to wear the uniform of
their Reserve grade. Each officer
should select the most convenient
place near his home, and get in touch
with the person who is arranging the
celebration"

NATIONAL DAIRY SHOW.

The 1921 National Dairy Srow will
be held on the Minnesota fair grounds,
October 9Th to 18th, next. The build
ing in which the machinery part of
the show Is to be placed, is the new
cattle barn Of the State Fair Associa-
ton, built at cost Of $5OO,0O0OO. 1t
is 400 by 235 feet, in which the only
distractions are small lsteel posts to
carry the trusses supporting the roof
Of the mezzanine floor, leaving the
center of the building entirely clear.
Eighty-five per cent. of the total show
space has already been purchased, and
the unprecedented interest of the peo-
pie of the whole northwest, northern
and western states, over the coming
fthe show to that section, surely can
be interpreted as meaning that the
greatest national dairy show will be
held this year.
