PICKING TOPICS
FOR CONFE ERENCE
ON DISARMAMENT

Washington, Aug. 26.--Although
negotiations to define the scope of
the disarmament conference have
not yet reached a formal stage, 1t
is understood preliminary steps to
Obtain the views Of the other
powers as to what subjects they
believe should come before the
conference have been taken.
The state department. 1t Is un-
derstood, has been unwilling to be
placed in the position of taking the
lead in framing the conference
agenda, preferring informal con-
versations between the department
and the other foreign offices
through their representatives In
Washington. When these ex-
changes have fairly defined the
acceptable subject matter it is
probably Secretary Hughes will
prepare a tentative agenda for
submission to the other govern
ments.
1t is hoped this agenda can be
completed before November II,
but 1t is more than probable that
even after the conference has as
sembled amendments and new
propositions will be entertained.
Arrangements to hold the meet
ings of the conference in the PAN
American building here virtually
were completed today.

ON
RUSSIAN RELIEF
CALLED At PARIS
Walter L. Browne DeSignat-

pose Not Explained.
tRy The AssocInted Press.l J

Washington, Aug. 26.--The Rus
sian relief situation developed a
new problem today with the call
ing of an international conference
to meet in Paris, presumably with
a view to co-ordlnating relief
measures.
In response to urgent requests
from abroad the state department
has designated Walter l.. Browne.
who negotiated the relief agree
ment at Riga, to attend and make
a complete survey Of European
opinion as 1t develops there.
Whether he will be empowered to
participate has not been revealed,
but it was learned he is undertake
ing the mission with the approval
OF Secretary Hoover who, as head
of the relief movement, has in
sistently opposed proposals to
make an international pool OF all
Russian relief facilities.
At the state department infor-
nation was refused tonight as to
the purpose or scope of the con-
ference or the details Of its organ
ization. 1t is assumed, however,
that the invitations were issued
by France and that all Of the Eu-
ropean nations interested in the
Russian tangle will be represented,
There has been no indication that
the meeting will delay American
relief work.
Since the negotiations over the
sending of supplies into Russia be-
gan the United States has insisted
that whatever relief work is under
taken by this country should be ex-
clusively under American control.
1t is said that Secretary Hoover
and his advisers still hold to that
view, but itfis pointed Gut that this
government scarcely could refuse
to confer when urged to do so by
the European powers.

vice chancellor. His assailant'gave
his name as Won Hfrscnfield, for
mer cadet officer, 20 years old, a
student, and son of Berlin bank
official. Won Hirschfeld was ar
rested and was quoted as saying he
considered Erzberger dangerous to
the empire. The assailant fired
two shots at Erzberger as the min
lister was entering his automobile.
One bullet glanced off the minis
ter's watch chain and another en-
tered his shoulder.
Erzberger reused a storm In
Germany in July, 1917. more than
q year before ar armistice, by pro-
posing a resolution in the German
reichstag in favor of a peace with
out annexations and for parlia-
mentary reform. Chancellor Beth

Helfferich subsequently blamed
Erzberger's peace proposal for the
moral collapse Of the German
people. The former vice chancel-
lor accused Erzberger of high
treason, denounced him as a "men-
ace to the purity of our public life"
and invited him to bring suit for
libel. He declared that Erzberger
must be removed from public Of
flee if our political life is again
to become healthy and normal"
He asserted also that Erzberger's
fortune had been made during the
war by utilizing his political and
parliamentary position.

ciatory speeches in court while

himself and his action in seeking
peace in 1917.
Herr Erzberger was for many
years leader of the German center
party and one of the leading fig
ures in German public life after
Germany's defeat in the war. His
peace move of 1917 had made him
the storm center Of attack by re-
actionaries; but when Germany's
military power collapsed he was
made minister without portfolio in
