Press Showing Interest in Arms
Conference Here

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS. September 23.-Newspapers
of this city have begun to devote
much attention to the conference on
limitation of ornaments and far
eastern questions to be held in Wash
ington in November, and daily publish
editorials regarding the meeting. This
morning IAvenlr asked il the real
reason for Gen. Pershing's visit to
this country was not to carry out con-
versations with French leaders pre-
liminary to the Washington confer
ence. while the address made by
Myron T. Herrick, American ambas-
sador to France, at the dinner in
honor OF Gen. Pershing at the Allied
Club last night made a notable i'm
preston. Mir. Herrick declared Amer

without fear, confident of her right,
but respectful of the rights Of others;
aiming at justice, but never yielding
to force in just cause"
A Significant Speech.
The newpaper Gaulois captioned
it: "A significant speech by Mr.. Her

pecial notice in their reports of the
dinner.

Ambassador Herrick in his speech
also recalled the promise made by
Gen. Pershing on his arrival in France
of American aid, and declared that the
promise was kept the following year
by 100000 young Americans. Minis
ter of War Barthou, in replying to
Ambassador Herrick, said:
Our two countries have but one love
that of justice and liberty. 1 al
ways have refrained from defending
France from unmerited reproaches.
France has given too many proofs of
her love of peace to need to justify
herself.

Don't Spoil Your Hair
By Washing 1t

When you wash your hair. be careful
what You use. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali, which
is very injurious. it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified cocoa
nut oil shampoo. for this is pure and en-
tirely greaseless. It's very cheap and
beats anything else all to pieces. You can
get Mulsiied at any drug store, and few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with water and
rub it in. about teaspoonful is all that
is required vt makes an abundance of

NOTED FRENCHMEN
COMING TO PARLEY
BRAND, BertheIot, viviani.
Sarraut, and Jusserand
Probable Delegates.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOwRER.

BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.
By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright. 1921.
PARIS. France, September 23.-The
French delegation to Washington as
now envisaged will consist of five
principal persons-Aristide BRAND.
Philippe Berthelot. Rene Viviani. AL
bert Sarraut and Jules Jusserand.
BRAND. Viviani and Jusserand are al
ready well known in the United
States. >Sarraut is former governor
of French Indo-China and is known
to be sympathetic to the American
point of view in the departments of
the Pacific.
NJ. Berthelot is permanent secretary
of the ministry of foreign affairs. His
career has been as brilliant as he Is
himself. He has eXerted perhaps the
predominant influence on the French
foreign policy in the last few years,
and is generally credited with favor
ing a Franco British alliance at al
most any cost.
Premier BRAND intends to go to
Washington whether Prime Minister
Lloyd George goes or does not go.
He does not intend to stay long,
however, and will probably depart
after short time, leaving NJ.
Viviani as the head of the French
going to Washington are said to be
three:
Three Motives In Coming.
1. To give a visible sign of Frances
ardent desire for friendly co-opera-
ton with the United States.
2. To revive, if possible, some form
or substitute for the famous Franco
American guarantee pact with which
Britain will also be associated, for
France remains true to her original
policy of seeking to form a triple
entente with Britain and the United
States.
J. To postpone as far as possi BILE
political attacks which possibly will
provoke his resignation when the
cha mbcr reconveneS towards the end
of October, for it is considered that
the chamber hardly would venture to
overthrow premier who was on the
point of going to represent his coun
try at an important international con-
ference. Some observers believe that
nothing less than success in negotiat-
ing a substitute for the regretted
guarantee pact can save the BRAND
government after his return.
Nervousness in Paris.
Some nervousness is felt in French
political circles lest the Washington
conference become an occasion for
fresh attacks against French mill
tdi islIi anu vi SS are DClHS pre-
pared to show that the French army,
despite it's extra responsibilities on
the Rhine, in the plebiscite areas and
in Syria. is smaller today than it was
in 1913 and under the present circum-
stances cannot safely be further re-
duced. My impression is that the
French. even in high places. fail to
realize the preeminence which newt
ably will be accorded to Pacific ques-
tions to the detriment of purely Eu-
ropean questions.

night comes on and with 1t the dress suit

So we decided TO go Summing and give
our real nature. which had been too long
repressed, a chance to assert itself. Shakes
peare writes into the third act of Hamlet:
"'Tis now the very wtching hour of night,
When churchyards yawn and hell itself
breathes out
Contagon to this world"
BY which lines we know that Shakespeare
was not only poet but major prophet of
no mean ability. He evidently foresaw what
would happen to the world when the electric
light had been perfected - There is a theory
of existence, upon which the preachers like
TO dwell, which has it that every man will
be held responsible for the crimes that are
committed and the vices that are rampant
as a result of acts of his. If this theory be
correct, we do not envy Mr.. Edison. When
he gave the world the electric light he
started the night life of the big cities He
is responsible for gay white ways and caba-
rets, for lobster Newburg and Metropolitan
opera, for movies, late hours and recalc-

There was a time in the history of the
world, described by Butler in HudibraS when
he said:
iS he Sahha tl of mankind

1t seems amusing now to quote line
such as that, doesn't it? Why, we are just
getting a good running start in this day and
time when night comes on, and from then
until the alarm clock should madden us at
IL O'Clock the next morning whoop EN-

What is responsible? Why. the electric

who dared to venture abroad at night car

Those were the happy days for the wives,
because il was a very limited number of
men who could afford the lanterns, and only
the extremely rich (probaby malefactors of
great wealthy could afford the guards The
consequence was that husbands used to
brag to each other about the warmth OF
their firesides and the lovingness of their
wives instead of about the comfort of their
clubs and the affection of chorus girls.
Then came along Mr.. Edison-but we for

when you could spend whole evening in

OF course, in the old days II was different.
