NEW YORK, March 1o.-We Witt
Mackenzie, chief of the London bureau
OF the Associated Press, today described
the Five-power Naval Conference for
radio listeners in the United States.
Mr.. Mackenzie, whose talk was re-
broadcast on this side of the Atlantic
by the National Broadcasting Co, de-
clared the conference was very much
alive" and that it was still a good In
surance risk"
The delegations, he said, had done
invaluable spade work In a quiet way
and from now on things should move
rapidly"
He pointed out that from the British
standpoint it is well night imperative
that the conference be concluded before
April IA, when their annual budget is
presented to Parliament"
Summing up the position as the dele
gates tackle the real difficult work of
the conference" he listed as concrete
results the facts that Great Britain has
conceded parity to the United States.
that the delegations have agreed to hui
mamie submarine warfare and that
they have decided that the two schemes
Of measuring navies, namely, by cate
gories and by total tonnage, can be
combined.
Beyond these concrete results, he said,
I'VE have several near agreements
which are dependent upon the final
outcome of the conference"

was located was a central one, almost
directly above the bed room in which
he died. Just a few steps away was
the controlled elevator, which
saved the former Chief Justice the eff
fort of climbing stairs, The elevator
reached all the way to the street level
on the side of the house, so that 1t
was unnecessary even to mount the
front steps to reach the third floor
offices.
All the furnishings of the big brick
house were adapted to meet the spe-
cial needs of their owner. The visitor
to the living room noted the especially
wide, low armchairs and settees in
which the heavy frame Of the noted
jurist was wont to rest.
All Is Quiet Within.
1t was into this living room that the
body of the late Chief Justice was to
be carried today from the bed room
above. All was quiet within and with
out the residence today, but it did not
seem to be the stiffness of death. There
was a certain peacefulness that
swathed the scene, dissipating the NOR
bidness which one often associates with
death.
Just outside the window Of the bed
room a large magnolia tree reached up
with budding limbs almost to the sill
Spring was in the air, and birds fitted
and sang in the warm sunshine.
But for the pacing in front Of two
policemen, the arrival every few min
utes of an automobile with sympathetic
friends and the frequent appearance at
the door of messenger boys bearing
kilograms of coincidence from all parts
of the world, the passerby would have
suspected nothing unusual about the
place.

TAFT TO REST NEAR
SON OF LINCOLN
Remote Part of Arlington
Chosen by Family as
Site of Grave.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
Bright sunshine, with hint of Spring
today flooded an isolated knoll in
Arlington Cemetery which will be the
f1nal resting place Of William Howard
Taft.
Of in the distance across the historic
Potomac the Capital of the Nation, with
which his life was indelibly interviewer
was visible through the bare trees.
Only one other grave, that of Robert
Todd Lincoln, son of Abraham Lincoln
is in the remote section of the military
cemetery which Mrs. Taft and her
children selected for the grave of the
former Chief Justice. Covered by a red
stone memorial, it is about rs yards
farther up the hill and across the ter
raced Gusts walk which winds down
from the old home of Robert e. Lee.
Except for that one grave, only the
gentle, sloping hills, the swaying cedars
and the ancient oaks will stand sentry
for the present over the body of the
distinguished American.
The state funeral cortege eScorting
the body of the former Chief Justice
will pass slowly through the entire
length of the cemetery by the graves of
the many who have died for their
country. The tomb of the Unknown
Soldier is to the right of the roadway,
several hundred yards distant. The
roadway itself is named in honor of
Sheridan, and not far from where Taft
will lie is the cemetery gate named in
honor of the Civil War general
Back from the road few feet is the
site of the grave. Behind it is a thick
woods. But at the wood-line four oaks
form a small oval less than 20 feet in
diameter and this will frame the resting
place and the memorial to be erected
later. Directly in front of the oval 20
yards away, one of the most beautiful
trees in the Section-an old spreading
oak-throws out its branches almost
over the grave.

on the continent of Asia.
There, as a result of that war, she

Then there was dedicated recently a
great monument on a hill overlooking
Chinkai Bay, near the tip of Korea,
where the Japanese feet lay in wait for
the oncoming Russians in 1905. The
monument is a reproduction of the fire
control tower of the flagship Mikasa,
set on steel and concrete plinth, the
whole rising 100 feet and affording from
the top a sweeping view of the waters
where the great battle, the most decisive
major conflict of modern times. was
