HUGHES GETS PROPOSAL.
Fuller Communication From Child
Awaited by q. s. Officials.

A communication from American
Ambassador Child. reporting that the
United States government had been
invited 70 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. 1t would be reached.
Until they had an opportunity to
study the proposal in detail. ofiicials
would make no comment regarding it.
The general impression given by
them was that the question probably
would be discussed at tomorrow's
cabinet meeting and that some action
might follow.
Hughes Completely Surprised.
At the State Department particular
pains were taken to emphasize that
the invitation was q complete sur
prise here, ofiicials declaring that the
washington government not only had
mot suggested 1t, but was completely
uniformed regarding the plan until
today.
The communication from Ambassa-
dor child was said to be only an ad-
vonce summary Of the Official text Of
she Invitation. It was understood
that various details regarding the
circumstances which led up to the
move still were to come and that the
denartment would take no step until
il was fully advised.
In their references to The Hague
conferences officials would not tndi-
cota in what degree they considered
the case analogous to the Genoa ne
sot,stions. into which the United
States refused to enter.
Basic. Change Probable.
II was assumed that President
rzars,nr and his advisers would adopt
. similar policy Of non-participation
,bould the new conference appear to
h. merely a reproduction Of that at
Genoa. On the other hand informa-
tion received here In press dispatches
has indicated that \ stipulation ex-
,r...lv excluding tho United States
fronn sny of the effects Of decisions
raached at The Hague might be In
oinded in the invitation In such way
as to change the basis OF the whoie
pThrou9hout the Genoa conference

sixad through Ambassador Child that

British Ready to Leave.
By the Associated Pfess.
LONDON, May 15.-It is semi-of1i-
cially stated that Prime Minister
Lloyd George and his colleagues on
the British delegation to the Genoa
conference expect to return from
Italy at the end of the present week.
Prime Minister Lloyd George. in a
message given to the Genoa corre-
spondent of tho Yorkshire Evening
News, says:
I'VE have reached a new phase in
western civilization. There nave been
wars Of religion. and dynastic wars;
there have been wars to secure richer
supplies of raw materials, with
which to nourish trade and commerce.
The new phase is the economic inter-
dependence of Europe and the whole
world. No nation can exist by it
self: 1t is dependent upon other ma
tions: whether neighboring or re-
mote.
. "A pact: Of non-aggression Is fun
damental to economic reconstruction.
Every nation in Europe must recog-
nize the sanctity Of its neighbors'
boundaries. Frontiers will then be-
come open doors of commerce, not
national barriers. Peace Is the first
essential"
The premier expressed the deep at
tention in the proceedings at Genoa
by the British people, especially the
workers in the Yorkshire and other
Industrial districts.

Since her husband had died and had
left her very poorly OF the cynical
relations had wondered what had made
her ever marry him In the first place.
And some Of them had said that doubt
less she had had her eyes shut when
she took him. . s5=
But such was not the case. She
had always been very happy despite
her poverty. They had been generous
even with their little, and the relatives
who were hopeful that the jewels she
possessed would later realize them
something had said that fools and their
money were soon spotted. They were
afraid that others who were more

"Well, it couldn't have been out

1T all depends upon what you call

1T has been out about thousand or
two thousand years, that's all,"~ she
added.
She had told me this story with
genuine relish, but afterward she had
been glad she had not been able to
buy the Apocrypha then. She found
she really could not afford it; she
could afford nothing to speak of, at
the present time. And Easter was
coming along, too, the time when she
wanted always to make some special

NAL.
She was very frail little old lady,
and very obviously of that strata Of
society known as the "genteel poor"
Always I had been fascinated by a
little gold chain she wore. From it
dangled quaint charm. There was
a little chair made out of coral, and
gold water jug, the top of which
could be taken of, and locket made
like little purse, and an American
gold dollar. ~
