THlf EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER fl8j 1081,
i
WELLS ARRIS TO
WRITE ABOUT THE
ARMS
CONFER
N
Famous Author, Invited by Jhe
World, Says Secret Sessions
Would Be Mistake. '
H. G. Wells, foremost living writer,
arrived In this country la.!t night at
the Invitation ot The World, with
which Is associated the Chicago
Tribune, to report the Arms Confer
ence In Washington. He camo from
England on the liner Adriatic.
Killed with notables, as the. ship
was, Mr. Wells was the centra of all
eyes. The courtesy of expediting his
baggage was granted by the Govern
ment. The English stewards on the
liner fntrly danced attendance on
him and a crowd outsldo tho pier
strained necks for aRlimpso of him
as he cnleied a taxi and was driven
to the home of a friend In this city
whero he will remain temporarily.
Mr. Wells does not look Ills fifty-five
yars. although he said lie had to be
careful of his health. He has blue
fyes, a closely cropped mustache, is
rather thick set and dresses modestly
but carefully. Until he Is addressed.
when his eyes nap In observation be
fore he replies, one might take him
for a prosperous business map, though
his head and face project a spiritual
ity that is marked.
When he faced a battciy of cam
eras, Challapin, the Russian baritone,
Ftood beside hltn on deck. Chaliapin's
chin was up in pose; Mr. Wells's chin
was down; one was used io It; the
other was modest.
Mr. Wells explained lie had a dread
of' interviewers, having In mind some
old stories of disastrous ones, and
was politely aloof at first. lie la. set
In' his way and Inquisitorial. He
almost rtamlned those who addressed
him. It they passed muster he
armed up.
"You know I feel the Importance
wlh which a young reporter ap
proaches his first assignment when
I think of reporting tho Arms Con
ference," he said. "I must have Quiet
to do my work. I don't dislike, ban
quets, and I am not an Invalid, but
my throat Is bad. I can't speak and
1 must conserve my power."
When asked for comment on the
Arms Conference he mad pltln be
is not here an tinglUhmi.n but km
ono of Uiut? righting (or ft btttor
clvlllzatlort. which rls above w
tlonul nnd national prejudices. Uo
will wilta of armament und disarma
ment or humanity.
"Sturet sessions would lie grave
mistake." he suld. "Tlttsru would be
leaks und misinterpretation. If tuu
conferenuu fulls It will be a greutdls:
aster. It seems to ma the conference
has extruoidlnury possibilities. It It
peters out thcio must bo some other
confeience, because the nations must
get together to aid civilization. Until
they do that the degradation that ex
luted In 1U14 will go on,
"I am confidant, however. It will
not petqr out.
"If the conference goes on It la
hound to develop Into some sort of
wen Id control not only of Interna
tional polltlca but of Qnuncial and eco.
nomlc questions. They will be hand
died on a world basis.
"lacJc of faith. Indolence, haste,
egotism Hint pattlotle prepossession
must be overcome for the suocess of
the confeience.
"The world whs In a stute of ex
traordinary hopefulness during the
great days of Wilson. Then a. phase
of fatigue followed and was respon
nllilp for most of the. failures atWer
sallies. The world Is In a better
stute now. It 4s not as nenemlc an It
was. There ar not the extravagant
hopes there were at the end of the
war, yet the world Is hopeful health
ily hopeful-
"There Is another point and a bin
one In the success of the conference.
A lot depends upon public opinion I.'
buck up the delegates."
Mr Wells said lie would be
Wusliiugton at least six weeks to i
the confeience as thoroughly as lu
could. "I shall remain as long as It Is in
teresting," he explained.
Before he returns to England ho
wants to study our school systems,
particular! those of the private
schools.
Some one asked him if he had any
thing to say on the Japanese ques
tion. "I may have some day," he replletl.
"That will be after I have gone tc
Japan and lived and studied tin
problems there, which I would llk'j
very much to do That Is the only
way to know a people."
One of the Government health offi
cers ptked Mr. Wells If he did not
care to go to the head of the line for
his Inspection to land. Mr. Wells
thanked him and said he would take
his place In line.
