DELEGATES TO PAY OWN BILLS
AT DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE
BY RUSSELL BROWNING

| Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington. Aug. lS.-Thc United
States will be n Dutch host to the
delegations attending the disarma.
ment conference.
Some doubt as to the etiquette of
allowing eaci guest to settle with
the hotel keeper ION his own" was at
first expressed by officials here and
the advice of Helen Maria" Dawes,
Director of the Budget, was sought
on this point.
A document from the files of paid
bills" at the Treasury Department
was put in evidence. This document,
it is said, was little item for a mil

According to present plans. each
delegation will be installed in a sep.
elate establishment. Several hotels
will be taken over outright. and pr-
vate mansions offered for use by
their owners will be accepted as
headquarters for the distinguished
heads of the delegations.
Considerable rivalry has developed
among the Capitol society matrons
as to who's home Premier Lloyd
George of Great Britain will inhabt
during his stay.
The question of liquid refreshment
for the visitors has come up. This is
a delicate question. On the one hand,
it is realized that if super-diplomats
are deprived of their accustomed
drinks it may upset thier dispositions
and make round-table discussions
more difficult. Again it never would
do to let the visitors get the impress
sion that our boasted legal desert is
a sham.
Some scheme which will appear a
iro In
oasis to the foreigners is being
worked out.
A partial solution to this problem
has been found in a decision by the
State Department that all the dele
gates will have diplomatic status
which entities them to supply of
liquor permits used by permanently
accredited diplomats. Also no objec-
tion will be raised by their bringing
over as many sealed trunks Of
papers" as desired.
A flock of special constables will
ba added to the Washington police
force during the conference.

BORAH Bill ACTION
LEFT TO HARDING.
Senate Waits on President to
Call Disarmament
Conference.

The senate, having approved Sem
ator Borah's disarmament proposal,
Is now content to let action rest
with-President Harding.
Senators have received no infor-
nation, as nearly as can be ascer-
tained, as to what the President
purposes to do. Most Of them think
the President will wait for a pro-
pitious moment to bring the matter
before the nations.
Borah's amendment to the naval
bill, it is declared, furnishes an In
dex of American sentiment. 1t as
sures the President that IL he cares
to take up limitation of naval
tain, he will have the support of
congress.
The amendment Is yet to be ap-
proved by the house, but Borah
and others do not anticipate trou-
Bile. While the house refused to
adopt disarmament amendments
when it was considering the bill,
this was attributed to executive op-
position, which has since been re-
moved.
1t is recalled that President will
son never availed himself of the
clause appended to the naval bill
of 1916, which set under way. the
American building program. This
authorized him to summon a world
conference on disarmament at the
conclusion Of the world war, which
was then in progress.

Because few of the millions engaged

why the good name of the whole
should be subjected to the evil iniu'

citation of ideas in the minds OF the
public So it is probable that the news
papers and the news gathering agen-
cies will act with a great diseimina-
ton wherever they use the expression
former service men" in conjunction
with criminal matters. There is the
ever present possibility that criminals
caught in the tolls of the law will re-
sort to the expedient of claiming to
have been service men in the hope OF
receiving degree of clemency from
the courts and sympathy from the
public; they feel sure that the story

as a matter of fact, they never got
nearer to khaki or the navy blue than
to pass it on the street. A great deal
of deception is being practiced by Grim
inals under the guide of this designa-
ton, which makes it exceedingly diff
ficult in the swift movements neces-
sary to getting out newspaper to
verify the declaration. Therefore, it
would be well to exercise great care,
if not to eliminate the use of the term
entirely when referring to criminals
who make such claim of serving their
country.
