That tree was planted yesterday in
Lafayette Park, under direction Of Frank
T. Gartside, chief of the park division
of the once of Public Buildings and

Later the American Institute of Park

But yesterday there was no ceremony.
A solitary woman watched as the sod
was turned.
She was Miss Lura c. Rugg, who had
played in the shade Of the 10-foot elm's

Miss Rugg lives with her sister, now

were in Geneva to reduce armaments

Recalling the economic depression and
the burden of debts. he asserted that
reduction in arms would go far to re-

action for the reduction and limitation

The American said he regarded the
American, French and British proposals
as providing a sufficient base for an
early agreement on a disarmament
treaty.
The Russian delegate warmly SEGA
oned the view that disarmament could
succeed only on the basis Of equal
treatment. He said he desired the rec
ognition of the principle of equality
and the return Of Germany to the con-
ference.
In expanding bis views, Sir John had
asserted that the essential task of the
conference was to get Germany to re-
join it, and that principles advanced to
satisfy her claim Of equality should ap-
ply likewise to the armaments of Aus
tria, Hungary and Bulgaria.
Would Limit Tanks Size.
"If equality of status is to be con-
ceded," the British delegate said, "the
principle Of qualitative equality must
be acknowledged.
Enunciating Great Britain's general
plan for qualitative disarmament, Sir
John proposed the often repeated Brit
isa point that capital ships be reduced
in size and cruisers limited to 1000

He proposed that submarines be abol-

to size which prevents their offensive
use in battle. 1t was proposed that
heavy mobile land guns be limited to

PARIS, November 17-Press dis
patches from Washington saying that
the United States intends to refuse an
extension of the war debts moratorium
are causing an effervescence in poltt-
ical circles here.
Premier Edouard Herriot Is known
to favor making Frances December Is
payment If the United States insists.
But most Of the members Of the Cham
ber of Deputies, according to present
indications, think otherwise.
There is reason to believe that, If
Herriot tries to get the chambers S

he will be Immediately overthrown.
This would be all the more likely, as
his general political situation Is none
too strong anyway.
May Block Lausanne Pact.
It goes without saying that If the
United States persists in its reported
attitude France will refuse to ratify
the Lausanne agreements, the repara-
tions issue will be resurrected, and,
according to some French commen-
tators, it will then be impossible to
unfreeZe private credits to Germany.

Indignation of French opinion toward
the alleged American attitude is at
least as fervent as the alleged moral in
dignation of American opinion toward

both sides and with corresponding
slowing down Of international negotia-
ticns like those affecting the Far East

skirt, ankle length, or even
shorter, if you prefer, a gold

pile have a velvet jacket that

will do for a costume of this

make a metal blouse. Another
good combination is a dinner

high neck and short puffed
sleeves. It looks undeniably
new, yet is a very inexpensive
costume. Washington stores
are showing just such blouses.
Plaid with Plain
When it comes to sports or
street clothes, the compose"
idea comes to your aid, for it's
smarter to have skirt and
jacket contrasting than to have
them match. Plain flannel
jacket worn with a plaid or
checkered skirt is excellent,
and perhaps you have a skirt
that was part Of a fall suit.
Just add q new and smart
sweater blouse, perhaps one
you've knitted for yourself, and
you have a good costume. If
you're out of doors enough, you
can get your moneys worth
out of a suede jacket and
beret, and thus complete a
particularly smart costume, at
small cost. The new suede
jackets are so much better
looking than they've ever been,
that you are sure to want one
if you investigate them.
