the United States desires progressive
international agreements TO limit
and ultimately reduce armaments.
Secretary kellogg's pronouncement

disarmament conference in event OF
failure of the present Geneva meet
ing. While Premier Wakatsuki and
Foreign Minister Shidehara made no
statement on the subject. it is under
stood they are highly delighted by
Kelloeg's address, believing his eX-
pressions presage a new conference
soon which will enable Japan to
cancel huge naval expenditures.
Official circles here have never be-
lieved the Geneva conference has
been successful. and the feeling has
been general that the next confer
ence should be held at Washington.
although the government mas

work for the Geneva conference, hop

Notwithstanding the sympathy Oh
the present Japanese government for

where he had lain so unhappily
in the chest, through the next
room, out into the back hall, up
the stairs, two at a time, where
the night before he had crept
with such caution. He burst
into the room where Kathleen
had lain in the mummy case.
He pulled the curtains, opened
the old-fashioned latticed blinds
and let the daylight pour in. The
room was empty. The Egyptian
had said he had placed Kathleen
on the floor of the large clothes

the mummy case. He flung open
a door. 1t led into u bathroom.

a huge closet, like a small room,
and lit up by a tiny slip OF a

Disappointment, keen as q knife

kept staring at the floor OF the
closet. There was a space on it
where the tan floor paint showed
bright and clean in contrast to
the dust-filmed boards of the rest
OF the floor. 1t was here then
that Kathleen's body had lain!
He shuddered. This was the spot
where she had been found and
removed.

quickly, but, with full thorough

the top floor of the house. Then
he went downstairs and began
his search there. In one room
