JAPAN ACCEPTS INVITATION TO
 CONFERENCE ON
 DISARMAMENT
OFFICIAL CIRCLES PLEASED WITH JAPAN'S REPLY; REGARD WAY NOW CLEAR FOR PRELIMINARY NEGOTI- ATIONS FOR CONFERENCE
rsepubIlcan A. p. Leased Wrel

WASHINGTON. July 27-Japan's definite acceptance of a place in the disarmament conference. which reached the state department today. gives consent to discussion of Far Eastern questions in connection with the conference but suggests that problems which concern only partic- ular powers or which can be re- garded as closed incidents be omitted
 There was every evidence of satis- faction over the reply in official circles and 1t was indicated that the way now was regarded as clear for the preliminary negotiations which will fix the time and place of meet ing and details of procedure.
 A comprehensive consideration of the conference program before the delegates assemble also was sug- gested in the Japanese note and now is regarded as assured. The attitude of officials here has been that such a discussion would be in place once all the invited powers had accepted
 A portion of the Japanese reply which attracted attention was a par agraph declaring it the sense of Japan that during the conference ''problems such as are of sole concern to certain particular powers or such matters that may be regarded ac- complished facts should be scrup- ulously avoided It was made plain. however, that officials here regarded this statement not as condition of acceptance by Japan, but as fore cast of the attitude she will take on the conference program.
 It is pointed out that Japan agrees to a discussion of such subjects as may be regarded as bearing directly on disarmament and says that she is willing to talk about Pacific and Far Eastern questions. It is suggested that some questions which might otherwise affect only two or three the category which the Tokio gov ernment has accepted.
 If was recalled here in connection with the Japanese reference to such matters that may be regarded ac- complished facts that the Japanese ambassador at London recently indi- : catcd that his government would not care to discuss questions like shan tung and Tap because it regarded them as having been settled by the treaty at Versailles. In other quar- ters. however. it has been pointed out that the Versailles treaty is not recognized by China so far as Shan turg is concerned and that the United States has not consented to the treaty's terms on Yap and other mandate territories so that in each case an open question is raised which would seem to make further nego- tiatfons necessary.
 It also is emphasized that because of the situation in the Far Eas where various powers have a direct concern in Chinese integrity and have large material interests ani concessions, it may be difficult tt agree that any particular question affects only a limited number of na tions. All of-this. however, Is ex. pected to be threshed out in the ex. change of views which is to preced the conference.

 SMALL HAS NOT GIVEN UP PLAN TO PEACEFULLY RESIST ARREST
[RepublIean A. p. Leased wIreI

SPRINGFIELD, H., July 27.-Gov- ernor Smalrs attitude toward "un- conditional surrender" to Sangamon county authorities waiting to arrest him on charges of embezzlement and conspiracy to loot the state treasury while he was state treasurer had not been made known to Sheriff Henry Mester tonight. No response came from Chicago to his message refusing to place the governor under arrest in Cook county, as proposed by Albert Fink, counsel for the governor.
 Sensing a plan, they said, to involve them in habeas corpus proceedings in Cook county, the sheriff and States Attorney Mortimer declined the over lures of MT. Fink and are awaiting the governors return here.
 Friends of Governor Small said they believed he had not given up his
 intention peacefully to resist ar rest" adding that he would probably exhaust all privileges he could obtain from the courts before surrendering
 A writ of habeas corpus, it was pointed out, could not be obtained un- til the governor is arrested and noth-
 ing but time would develop in the
 case while he remained away from the capital. For this reason county authorities looked for the governor g early return nere.
 SMALL LEAVES CHICAGO CHICAGO, July 27.-Mystery to-
 night marked the movements and
 plans of Governor Small, following a day of conferences with his attorneys
 and advisers here.
 Eluding newspaper men, the gover- nor went from his hotel to the home
 of Albert Fink. his chief counsel, and then to downtown office for an afternoon conference.
 Newspaper men who watched Mir. Finks office, where. the attorney said last night in a telegram to Sheriff
 Henry Mester of Sangamon county,
 the governor would be today prepared to submit to arrest. failed to see either MT. Small or his lawyers. Refusal of the Sangamon county authorities to come here and arrest the governor and their expressed will | ingness to await his return to Springfield upset plans laid last night | for a hearing on habeas corpus pro- ceedings before a Cook county court While friends of Governor Small announced that he had left for his | home in Kankakee, the governor had not arrived there tonight, according | to members of his family.
 It is understood generally that the executive has left Chicago, git now being believed he has returned te | Springfield.

81 Reasons for
Aiding Libr0ry's
Book Fund DriUe

The shelves Of the branch libraries are
so empty as to have lost at times nearly
all resemblance to a library. With the
constantly increasing number Of readers
and the limited book stock, the books
wear out rapidly. It is as impossible to
replace the WORKOUT books as it is to buy
new ones. The branch libraries are pitt
fully short in every class Of books The
acknowledged standard works in sociol-
ogy, history, economics, literature, po-
htical science, finance and education are
almost totally missing from their collec-
lions. Practically no new books Of nom
fiction have been purchased fo- them
within the last three years.
As a concrete illustration of the book
situation in the branch libraries these
figures are taken from the November,
1920, report of the Spades Park branch.
The number Of home readers was 2.75O
while the number Of books circulated was
only APO, less than two books per read
err The total number of books at the
branch, including the number in actual
use, is 9,765, a little over three books for
each reader. Ina CINE the situation when
half the books are out in circulation and
an eager reader finds that he has read
all the interesting ones which are left
circumstance which occurs scores Of
times daily.
In moving from the old library build
ing to the new, a large portion of Central
Library patronage was lost A great deal
Of this patronage was transferred to the
branch libraries. These branches were
exceedingly unfortunate at this crucial
time in having a pitifully inadequate
book stock. In face Of an increase last
year Of 1881 new readers and an in
crease in number of books read Of 81, sol,
the already overworked branches are
running down hill in book stock at q
rapid pace, with less than 500 book addi-
tons for each branch per year, including
both children's and adult books.
1t is impossible to supply each branch
with an up-to- date directory of its own
city, sorely needed daily for library and
reference use. The most obvious refer
ence books are an equal impossibility. In
most Of these branches the encyclopedias
and dictionaries are so out of date as to
be useless as well as inaccurate.
The war brought crying needs for
automobile and aviation books. The
branch libraries were even more handi-
capped at this critical time than the Cen
tral Library. Several of these libraries
lie in the very heart of important indus
trial districts. 1t is a tragic thing to
think that with a proper service of new
and timely books on industrial subjects.
these branch libraries could frequently

From the hour Jim refused to see
Phoebe's danger I tried 70 put all thought
Of it from me. But it wouldn't go. No
man as virile and as vital as Pat Dalton

perspective on Envy and Dick West.
