He regards the development of

contribution to the national de-

he said, 1--WE will have 1920 mil

on matters unrelated to the Far
Eastern conflict. The gathering is
rapidly developing into a diplo-
matte battle of Brussels.
This morning the eight original
nine.power treaty signatories and
the Russian representatives met
to discuss the agenda for this
afternoons regular conference ses-
sion, at which all 10 delegations
will be present. Purpose OF this
meeting was to speed up the con-
ference's procedure.
FRANCE ANGRY
One reason for the acrimonious
feeling among the delegations is
the annoyance of the Americans,
headed by Norman H. Davis, at
what they believe to be the uncer-
tain and shifting attitude Of the
British.
The French also are extremely
angry at Britain because OF re-
ports that London has sent Brit
ish commercial attache to Sala-
manca, insurgent headquarters IN
Spain.
The Soviet delegation is taking
no pains to conceal its conviction
that the British are planning a
line of action which will not help
China "any more than non-lnter-
vention helped Spain"
LITVINOV OUTSPOKEN
The Soviets believe the chief
concern of British Foreign Score
tary Anthony Eden and his delega-
ton is to protect British interests
in China. This belief, the Rus
slams frankly admit, was the mean
ing of the most outSpoken pas
sages of Soviet Foreign Comm1sSar
Maxim Litvinov's speech yeSter-
day.
Delegates of other countries also
regard Italy's attitude, as reflected
by Count Luigi Aldrovandi- Mares
cotti's speech yesterday, as mot
helpful"
Davis plea for mediation was
followed by a scathing indictment
of Japan as an aggreSSor and
treaty-breaker, voiced by DR.. V. K.
Wellington Koo, the chief Chinese
delegate.

AS result of the opening
speeches, the impression grew that

OThis may sound like strange
advice for the maker Of a head

theless, we give it.
If you are subject to frequent
headaches, 60 to your doctor and
tell him about it. He may find the
cause of your headaches, correct
it .. and make your life far more
pleasant.
On the other hand, if you have
an occasional headache; step into
the nearest drug store; the mo-
ment you feel it coming on; and
get a box of quick-acting BAYER
ASPIRIN. Take one or two tab
lets with aglass of water, and seefor
yourself how quickly relief comes.
We refer to Bayer tablets as
''Quick-acting," for one reason.

One chief cause Of friction was
the verbal warfare between Lit

Of establishing q just peace which

JAPANESE CONFIDENT
The Japanese are confident
they will succeed before the
Brussels conference is over. They
base their hopes Of acceptance of
their proposed offer on the fol

/. The japanese believe the
powers would be delighted at
the prospect of the Japanese
promising not to muscle into
the International Settlement or
throw Europeans out of the
Shanghai market.
2. Some Chinese leaders, &C.
cording to the Japanese, have
virtually given up hope Of ef-
fective help from either the
United States. Britain, Russia,
or the League Of Nations. They
feel continued resistance is un-
profitable.
Nevertheless, the japanese Offer
Is not likely to be accepted because
of the temper Of the Chinese
people, which is dead set against
any surrender now.

tiful needle work held the at
tention of the guests as they
entered and drew bursts Of adj
miration for the members Of

art were so evident In the fine
needlework displayed. The ia
bic was beautifully and appro
priately decorated with a cen
terpiece of a rustic fence, en-
tWined with colorful morning
glories, and a little old lady at
her knitting. This clever bit of
art was the work of Mrs. Melis

the beautiful costumes worn by
members Of the club which rep
resented the colonial dresses
