TI0N
OF ARMAMENT
HOPES J0LTED
France Politely Rejected Pro,
p0sal-Italy Expected to
Take Same Action

Washington. Feb. lG --lP)-Hopc
Of the Washington government for
an effective naval limitation confer
ence have been jolted severely by Il
polite rejection from France, and Il
forecast that Italy also will decline
to participate.
Following the declination last
night Of France, the opinion here
was that Italy would accept, and
still make possible the gathering Of
representatives Of sufficient num-
ber of nations to bring practical re-
suits in the limiting of armamcnts
not touched upon at the Washington
conference.
A semi-Official communique issued
in Rome today, however, announced
that Italy would follow the lead Of
France in demurring TO the proposal
Of President Coolidge for the con-
ference, leaving as matter Of con-
lecture the next step of the Amer
lean government in seeking methods
of obtaining the agreements it has
hoped for.
For the moment it is unlikely that
any plan of action will DC formulat-
ed here in the absence of the British
and Japanese formal replies.
The French communication was
based on the main contention that
the American plan might compromise
the success of the liminary dis
armament commission by the League
of Nations. Whether its tenor has
left room for hope that further cor
respondence with Paris might create
better understanding Of the Amer
lean suggestions was not disclosed.
Secretary Kellogg probably will de-
fer decision in that regard until the
Italian reply is before him.
kellogg's Comment
In commenting on Frances re-
fusal, Secretary Kellogg expressed
the belief that the Paris government
has misunderstood in several points
the full purpose Of the president's
proposal. "A serious blow to the

SCOTS First Nopel

''Waverly" was the first Of the series
of famous novels written by Sir Wal
ter Scott, produced in 1914. The Sc
cret of the authorship was well kept
for years. The book gives a fine pic
ture of the hopes and fears that ami
mated political parties in Great Brit
ain in 1745, the year of the uprising
led by Charles Stuart, the Young Pre-
tender. Its name is taken from Wa
verify, near Hindhead. in Surrey, Eng

ed it to her, In perfectly natural sort
Of way, as if it was a garment with
which she was well acquainted.
"All ready" asked the doctor.
"Then let's be off. Mallory, you show
us the way. We want to go to Will
kins' room first"
"All of us" questioned Ashton.
'The girl, too?"
"Yes," said the doctor. "She's the
important member of this expedi-
tion."
I caught then, and it made my flesh
creep little, my first inkling Of his
purpose. But 1t was perfectly evident
from Ashton's face that no such idea
had occurred to him.
Hadn't she better be handcuffed to
Mallory?" he asked. as we were leav-
ing the room. "She might give us the
Slip"
NO." said the doctor; shell follow
follow like dog"
We threaded our way in silence
through the corridors to wilkins room.
1t was small room, and stayed
back in the corridor with Mallory to
make room for my chief and Ashton to
go in with the girl.

was curious and interesting. Doctor

And now Ashton's eyes lighted up
with the surmise which had come 70

"Good God. McAlister" he ex-
claimed. "What are you going to dog

alias Wilkins. If he hasn't got too long
start on u.s."
AS he finished speaking, he ostenta-
tiously shifted at the shoe himself, and
held it out to the girl.
"Osa Enns," she said.
Exactly" said the doctor; Josiah
Haines."
"You can't possibly mean," ex-
claimed Ashton, shat you're going to

If she were hound! It's impossible.
Impossible and horrible, too" he add

$50 far as the horror is concerned -
said the doctor, 1--WE can't afford to be
squeamish, with telephone and tele-
graph wires down all over the city,
and likely enough trolley wires, too.
He has too great an advantage of us
to warrant our rejecting any means
of finding him that come to hand, even
though they are primitive. AS for its
being impossible. that's exactly the
thing we're going to test. l don't be-
