Plunged In Gloom,
Eden, DelbOs Leave
u. S. Delegates Left
In Virtual Custody
Of Conference
BY KENNETH T. DOWNS

BRUSSELS, Nov. S G.N.S0.
Renewed rumors Japan is on the
verge of an open declaration Of
war against China plunged the
Nine-Power Treaty Conference into
abysrnal gloom today as the dele
gates wrestled with a proposal to
establish a mediation commission.
British Foreign Secretary Eden
and French Foreign Minister Del
hos departed for London and
Paris, respectively. leaving the
United States virtual custodian of
q conference which now appears
destined to become one Of the
most futile in history.
ITALY BALKS
The Chinese, American and
other delegations professed no
knowledge whatever Of the media
ton offer made by Chancellor
Hitler which, If accepted by both
parties, will vitiate completely
activities Of the nine-power par
ley.
AS the delegates reaSsembled
after luncheon, it became obvious
they were lost in an apparently
hopeless argument over formation
Of the mediation commission.
The Italian -~tused to discuss
the matter at On the grounds
Japan already hS,. rejected in ad-
vance any attempts at arbitration
by the conference.
One leading delegate sent a note
to this correspondent shortly be-
fore adjournment In which he ad-
mitted the outlook in general was
very bad" The others apparently
shared his view. for at 1:20 p. m.
the meeting disbanded, to meet at
l o'clock tomorrow.
o. s. HOPEFUL
The Am me r ic an delegation,
headed by Norman H. Davis, ma
nounced:
I'VE are digging in here"
The Americans, to the puzzle
ment of the assembled European
diplomats, did not reflect the gen.
eral gloom which has enveloped
the proceedings, nor did the Amer
leans share the prevalent opinion
that the conference already has
hopelessly flopped.
The United States delegates re-
manned optimistic despite the fact
they received word from a Japan
ese source that Japan will not con-
slider mediation or anything else
bearing the stamp of this con-
ference.
If the Americans have a real
reason to believe in the ultimate
success Of the conference, it was
generally agreed they have sue
cessfully concealed whatever is the
basis of their hopes.

 After the garden is planned and planted there Is always the caring for the plants, lawn, shrubs and trees. Many questions arise, and for your guidance am listing the most important, with my answers to them.
 How can one get rid of weeds in lawn? First prepare the ground properly, with at least five inches of topsoil containing plant food. Grass will choke out most weeds, if it has a chance to grow properly. Always water thoroughly. Let the water soak into the ground when the sun is not shining, so that the roots of the grass will grow downwards in- stead of upwards. Shallow roots will succumb to hot baking sun.
