NEW YORK, December This Is

Five 100000 Liberty bonds recently

two men are under arrest in Boston

Many Wall Street institutions are in

improved protection of money and

During the day a great portion of
the protection is obvious even to the

VISIT Of ASTORS
TO HOUSE DELAYED
Appearance of British Lead
ler Before Committee Called
off by Agreement.

For no stated reason, the much dis
cussed appearance of Lord and Lady
Astor before the House Foreign Affairs
Committee has been indefinitely post
poned."t
The titled Britishers were to have
visited the committee today to give
their views on world problems. 1t was
intimated freely that perhaps England's
war debt views might be discussed.
But after a rush of conferences yes
terday. that began almost as soon as
the meeting was arranged, Chairman
McReynolds announced an indefinite
postponement," fully agreed to by all
interested parties.
London Held Concerned.
Capitol skeptics shrugged shoulders
at the news and mentioned reports OF
concern in London lest the views OF
American-born Nancy Langhorne Astor
and her titled husband be accepted as
representing official sentiment. For
there, Lady Astor sits in the House of
Commons and her husband in the
House of Lords.
When McEeynolds was asked the
cause of the cudden change, he replied
Well. as a matter of fact, there
never was any particular reason for
their coming"
But, at least. this took place:
Representative FiShburne, Demo-
cratic committee member. in whose
Virginia district Lady Astor once re-
sided, arranged the hearing. Mercy
nolds telephoned Fishburne newspaper
men would be present. FiShburne
talked to Lord AStor. Peter Macdonald.
Conservative member of Commons. had
suggested in London that steps might
be taken to prevent the appearance.
Fishburne talked to McReynolds and
the meeting was off.
Mrs. woodrow Wilson, just back from
Japan, was hostess to Lady Astor today
at a musicale which also had Mrs.
Herbert Hoover and Mrs. william
Howard Taft among its guests.
The singer was the Canadian tenor,
Edward johnson. A composition by
Mrs. John L. Gable, wife of the Repre-
sentative from Ohio, was on the pro-
gram.
Talks to Newspaper Women.
Lady Astor told the Newspaper
Women's Club of Washington, at tea
in her honor yesterday, that she did
not believe the depression will be over
before another year. She urged the
women to pay particular attention to
the care of needy children and outlined
the work done along that line in Eng
land.
She was accompanied to the tea by
Mrs. David A. Reed and was met by
members of the board of governors of
the club. Mrs. Reed received with
Lady Astor and Kate Scott Brooks,
president Of the club Mrs. William N.
Doak presided at the tea table. assisted
