would seem to justify q disregard for
every pledge made by the leaders in
the conference.
There Is the League of Nations, the
Locarno pact, the peace pact, every
conceivable means for arbitration and
peaceful adjustment and every pledge
which nations could possibly lay upon
their conscience, and still there is ma
neuvering and fighting for advantage
as II 1t were great aggregation of I'M
friendly nations, free from pledges and
free from all obligations of peace.
THE nations assembled at this con-
ference are the nations which lately
were associates and allies in the Great
War-nations. friendly to each other for
the soundest of reasons. The endear-
ing adjectives of four languages have
been exhausted by the representatives
of the nations assembled in expressing
for each other their respect, their con-
1dence and their faith in and devotion
to peace. Germany has no navy, no
army of any moment. Australia is
helpless. Hungary Is dismembered and
fighting for existence. Only the VIC
torious friends are assembled.
In Position to Dictate.
eff these powers cannot agree to
reduce their fighting forces there would
indeed be little hope for disarmament
in the future. These nations there
assembled are in q position to dictate
the policy of the world with reference
co ornaments and with reference to
war. If they agree among themselves

no possible danger Of any moment from
outside.
But even a more extraordinary fact
relative to this gathering is this-all
the powers assembled have signed
treaty, q solemn pledge each to the
other, that never again will they seek
settlement of international controver-
sizes through other than peaceful means,
that they will not employ force, that
they will not appeal to war in the set
Element Of international disputes. Here
then are friendly nations, dominating
nations, pledged not to 60 to war, meet

1T would seem If success Is not to

Notwithstanding all this, 1t may not be

ship or to discharge a single soldier.

conference in the matter of personal
expenses. His greatest burden is War
rem House, the country estate he took
at Stanmore, village north of London.
In the opinion of his intimates the
place already has paid large dividends.
because it has not only provided a re-
treat for Mr.. Stimson and the other
delegates, but rest for the advisers
and week end guests.
II the conference lasts three months
1t Is unomctally estimated that Secre-
tary Stimsons personal expenditures
will amount to $4,000 or $40 900.
So far he has entertained more than
900 guests at Stanmore, inviting diff
terent group each week for golf, tennis
or luncheon. One of his heaviest items
OF expenditure is automobile hire,
Though an ofiicial automobile was
shipped from Washington for his use
at the conference, Mr.. Stimson is per
sonally paying for the chauffeur and
the gasoline.
Two Hire Machines.
Ambassador Dwight w. Morrow. Sen
ator Reed and Secretary of the Navy
Adams, who did not wish to use the
ofncial delegation automobile for un-
oficial trips, have personally hired
their own cars for the duration Of the
conference, paying not only for chauf-
feurs and gasoline but for the rental.
Another expense that is running high
for the delegates is that of rooms at

thousand in population, good colored
schools, lodges and splendid church
organizations, such as ladies' aid So
cietieS, Sunday school classes with
national reputation, and colored
literary club for members who had
written but never published their

influential figure among the leaders
of these organizations, being the only
daughter of very wealthy parents.
For a long time I had watched
Miss Powell with a growing interest
because she was strong character,
energetic, quick to handle any emer-
gency and possessed of keen in

simple asking, almost any marriage

She was of the slim princess type,

whole she could accomplish marvels,
