pointmcnt Mrs. Winter saw no rea sor
to change her plans.
'I shall never be far away from
Washington" she argued. "and car
easily get back to attend the COMMITTEES
meeting. which will probably be called
not oftener than once week. The whole
purpose Of my tour is to enlist support
for the conference. so I shall probably
be doing more good in that way than by
remaining here all the time"

Mrs. Winter cancelled all her lecture
engagements for the season, and pre-
pared TO stay on the job in Washington.

porting of the conference on armament

proval from Mrs. Eleanor Franhlin

something. for she has reported every
event of international Importance since
the Russia-Japanese war. which she
covered" for Leshe's, including the
peace conference In Paris and the sign
ing of the Treaty of Versailles.

afforded for the opening sessions by the
remodelled interior of Continental Hall.

press rooms in the Navy Building.
Mrs Egan already is the hardest

pointed one OF the committee Of five to

Both May Go Together.

Secretary Hughes will be chairman of
both committees. The one which meets
in the afternoon naturally will take up
the question of precedence as between
arms Limitation and the Far Eastern
question regardless Of any discussions
reached In the committee meetins in the
morning. Adoption of the agenda will
be the general object Of the two com
mittees.
II became clear to-day that complete
hc nony does not exist among the ma
tions on the relative Importance OF the
armament and Far Eastern questions.
In proposing the tentative topical
agenda Secretary Hughes did not sug-
gest the order in which the question
should be taken up. But his position is
well understood.
The American delegation believes that
the two questions should be considered
concurrently. The American delegation
viii hold that limitation of arm lsnents
cannot be arranged without an under
standing on the Far Eastern problem
In other words. there can be no limita-
tion OF armaments without removal of
the causes which make armaments nee
essary.
