Daughters on the evening OF April H.
That will be, proSpectively, about the
time the curtain Is rung down on the
London Naval Conference. 1t may be
that Mr.. Hoover, intending to utilize
the occasion for his first great pubic
announcement on the conference, wants
to avail himself of the fullest opportu-
nifty to discuss it in terms Of hnality.
