negotiations into which the United
States refused to enter. 1t was as
sumed that President Harding and
his advisers would adopt a similar
policy of non-participation should
the new conference appear to be
merely a reproduction of that at
Genoa.
U. 8. Not Affected
On the other haad, information
received here in press dispatches
has indicated that stipulation ex-
pressly excluding the United States
from any of the effects of decisions
reached at the Hague might be in
cluded in the invitation In such a
way as to change the basis of the
whole problem.
Throughout the Genoa conference
the American government has en-
phasized through Ambassador Child
that the United States would not be
bound by the decisions reached
there. Whether the Hague invita-
tion, when its full text is received,
will embody that stipulation in such
definite form as to meet the views
of the administration is question
upon which no official will make a
prediction on the basis of the in
formation at hand.

POWERS AGREE TO
MEET Ar HAGUE
Hope Is to Solve Pnssia Problem
II United States Will
Help.

Genoa, May 15.-What the Genoa
conference has failed to do-solve
the Russian question-it is hoped
TO accomplish at another meeting II
the United States will participate.
A formal invitation to the new con-
ference to be held at The Hague.
was handed to the American ambas-
sador, Richard Washburn Child,
last night, and today all eyes were
ON Washington, for upon the ques-
tion Of. American participation the
chance for an agreement with the
Russians is believed to depend.
All the powers now represented
here will be asked to send delegates
to the Hague meeting, the date for
which is tentatively set at June Is.
Other details of the gathering are
unsettled but at the suggestion Of
Prime Minister Lloyd George. Of
Great Britain, non,aggression
truce for four months, or until the
new conference ends its labors, has
been approved informally.
Plan Approved
The sub-commission on Russian
affairs met today and approved this
and the other features Of the plan
arrived at the private conversations
participated in by Mr.. Lloyd George
and the other representatives of the
five inviting powers.
Inasmuch as the Russian question
was the main topic for settlement
at Genoa, the failure of the present
negotiations will bring the confer
ence to a quick end and adjourn
ment probably will be taken before
the end of the present week.
The Hague conference would con-
sist of two commissions of experts,
one for the Russians and the other
for the remaining powers participat-
ing at Genoa, but 1t is extremely
doubtful whether the Russians will
consent to the plan as 1t now stands.
Russians Hold Out
While the British delegation has
intimated that the two commissions
would cooperate and be on an equal
footing, the French and the other
delegations, supporting their view.
give the impression that the Rus
sian panel would not attend all the
sessions of the full conference. For
this reason the Russians are said to
look upon the project as an attempt
to place them in a position of in
feriority and the sub-commission. at
its meeting today, will attempt to
overcome this difficulty.
Foreign Minister Tichitchern,
head of the Soviet delegation, has
addressed letter to Signor Schan-
ger protesting against meetings by
the five inviting powers to discuss
the Russian proposal for mixed
commission without inviting the
Russians to participate.
He demands immediate convoca-
tion of the political commission in
order to enable Russia to develop
her proposition.

Washington. May Is. "A CON-
munication from American Ambas-
sador Child reporting that the Unit
ed States government had been in
vited to participate in the newly
planned economic conference at the
Hague was received today at the
State Department but officials indi-
Gated that no immediate decision re-
garding It would be reached.
Until they had an opportunity to
study the proposal In detail. officials
would make no comment regarding
1t. The general impression given by
them was that the question probably
would be discussed at tomorrow's
cabinet meeting and that some ac-
tion might follow.
At the State department particu-
lar pains were taken to emphasize
that the invitation was complete
surprise here, officials declaring
that the Washington government
not only had not suggested II. but
was completely uniformed regard
Ing the plan today AZ
Only Advance News
The Communication from Ambas-
sador Child was said to be only an
advance summary Of the ofhcial text
Of the invitation. 1t was understood
circumstances which led up TO the
move still were to come and that
the department would take no step
until Il was fully advised.
In their references to the Hague
conference oficials would not indi'

the case analogous to the 0eNos

Dies In Philadelphia;
Internent Made Here

On Monday December IL, Mrs
Blades, widow of the late Stephen j
Blades, brother of the late John w
Blades of this city, died in Philadel-
phia, at the age of 80 years. Mrs
Blades was brought to Pocomoke anc
buried the same day that her nephew
John H. Blades was laid to rest.
Mrs. Blades was a resident of Char.
lottesville, Va, until about 2 years
ago, when she moved to Philadelphia
and made her home with her son. Last
September she sustained a fall, from
which, owing to her advanced age, she
never recovered. She was vigorous in
mind and took an interest in all the
events of the day, an interest remark
able in one so old.
1t was somewhat of coincidence
and pathetic in its nature, that the
two funerals-her own and her neph-
ew's-should have taken place on the
same day.

CRUMBS OF MINNESOTA
HISTORY

The memory of Benjamin Frank
lin has been perpetuated in the name
Of a county in each of twenty-four
states of the Union. Minnesota lis not
ore of the number, although the
Legislature in 1872 passed an act
authorizing the establishment of a
Franklin county out Of parts of
Stearns and Todd counties. The peo-
pie In counties affected voted down
the proposition, presumably not, how
ever, because of any objection to the
name proposed; and no futher at
tempt has been made to name a Min
nesota county in honor of the great
philosopher.

DANGEROUS EXAMPLES

IF THERE were no unfairness, no
a injustice, no successful crookedness
IN the world, everybody would succeed
without any trouble.
We should all tread the primrose
path straight to paradise, with no one
to bar our progress.
Incidentally our road would be made
30 smooth and easy that We would be
a pretty poor crowd when we got to
paradise, quite unworthy to partake Of
Its delights, and utterly unfit for the
society which we should expect to find
there.
1t happens. however, that the world
is fairly well filed with injustice, and
that crOokedness is sufficiently preva-
lent to make it worth while to keep
our eyes open.
Also men succeed who ought not
to succeed, and by devices which
should send them to the penitentiary.
Such instances are exceptional, but
they occur often enough to be danger
Gus.

Perhaps this man will meet the fate

But that is not an argument in favor
OF rascality. 1t is not even proof
that raseality pays.
For where one rascal prospers q
thousand are the victims of their own
crook edness.
In this weird are far more crooks

They thought somewhat of Eugene,
But none could fix upon.

They argued long and loudly
Until one fateful day
They quickly got together

James Bryce, dying at the age Of
elghty-four, and only about a year
after publishing a very respectable
best seller in Modern Democracies,"
would seem to have met fairly we'll the
contemporary test for a life worth
while, says the New York Herald. It
is surprising how many other Vic
tsrlans have managed to keep going
Tor long time; and after all, the
clearest acceptance Of life is to go on
living. At the age of seventy-four Ar
thur Balfour continues to play tennis.
At the age Of seventy Henry Asquith is
now engaged in staging "comeback"
IN politics. At the age Of ninety one
Frederic Harrison still finds something
to say about the world as he sees it.
At the age Of seventy three Edmund
Gosse Is still good enough company
for Margot, whose snappy book he
touched up. At the age of eighty-tWO
Austin Dobson is still occasionally
heard from. At the same age Thomas
Hardy is still selling verse to the
magazines. At an age close to seventy
Horace Plunkett is, no doubt, framing
new plans for cooperative farming in
a free Ireland. Only the other day
there died Henry NJ. Hyndman at the
age Of eighty and Lord Chancellor
Halsbury at the age of ninety-eight,
two Victorians with a good deal Of the
Georgian jazz in their makeup.

Characteristic destruction and waste
precedes America after thought Of con-
servation. We habitually lock the
garage after the car is stolen; we
think Of lightning rod protection after
bolt has fired the barn; we go to the
dentist after the tooth is decayed be-
yond repair. So with our wonderful
forests. We will let timber lords strip
the natural forest lands, and we will
let them sell cutover timber land for
settlement insteec of compelling con-
servative cutting and reforestation. We
shall soon see timber famine, and
no hopes of growing another crop in
the next generation or two, says Sue
'essful Farming. Like the careless
auto drivers who every day swell the
ranks of the slain, the careless camper
and traveller goes merruy on leaving
tires in the forest or throwing cigarette
stubs into the pine needles with the
resulting devastation of forests by fire.
Care]essness spells tremendous loss
every year in America, not only in for
ests but in every conceivable way.

There is much virtue in the accom-

teen years ago, arctic and antarctic
exploration has become almost a mat
ter OF course. A Vilhjalmur Stefans-
son comes out Of the frozen north and
writes of ''The Friendly Arctic" And
now that great explorer Roald Amund-
sen, himself the discoverer of the
south pole, is preparing, some day
soon, to set out in the Maud and just
drift past the north pole in the ice."
