ARMS CONFERENCE
 IS MORE LIKELY
Sees Geneva Situation
 as Changing Aspect

Washington, March 14.--whils
 awaiting more complete and authen.
 tic advices concerning the disarna-
 ment situation abroad, President Coolidge believes recent deyeIon-
 ments there as already indicated
 have opened the way to a more def
 mite approach to the project Of an-
 ether arms limitation conference to l be called by the United States.
 As soon as more definite advices
 are in hand as 10 the effect of recent Developments at Geneva concerning the League of Nations disarmament and security protocol, the president purports to give close attention to the matter in conference with Secre- tary Kellogg. Anything approaching Ia formal presentation of the confer ence idea to the nations interested however will await a survey of the situation on the basis of more auth. entic advices to be received through official channels
 As there has been no actual ap- proach to any of the powers on the subject and the conferences planned by the president with his secretary of state will, in fact, be the initial move in getting the many prelimi- naires attending the project under way.
 While it will be for these discus sions to determine the plan of pro- cedure, Mr. Coolidge at this tiule favors simultaneous approach to the various powers. Under such . plan 1t would then remain for Sec retary Kellogg to lay the project be- fore the governments at London, Paris. Rome and Tokio through the American ambassadors there, with the reaction of each to be reported to Washington. While hopeful that it would be favorable received by each of the governments 1t is the present intention of President Cool idge that, in the event of contrary the Washington gov Sndli Bo Iul naiu "ANh th0 project to such governments as are agreeable.
 The president would like to see both land and naval armaments brought within the scope of the but as to neither phase will the American policy be other han on of moral appeal, in no way marked by coercion.

 A twinge of nervousness seemed
 to affect her in the first number. but quickly disappeared. Her playing of Bach was not mature: the tech nique was present, but it is very diff tcult to perform Bach perfectly.

 The Schumann pieces were Grill len, Warum, and In Der Nacht; 10 these she contributed the romantic readings required; then blessed the audience with a happy rendering of the Schubert Moment Musical in C sharp minor, lending to the first a delightful esprit that was some of her most effective play ing.
 No piano recital during the gen ! erations since Chopin lived has been without the poet of the | piano being adequately represented. She included the C sharp minor pre- Jude, the waltz in A fiat op. 4c, the Berceuse and the B fiat minor ! Scherzo.
