GREAT STEP
TOWARD PEACE
PARIS. July 11. —Fram-e without doubt
will acc-pt Prescient Harding's invitation
to partpdpaie in a disarmament
ence of Jie prln*lpal allied powers it was
stated iemi-offlcially here today. In
these ta-ae quatters Harding’s move was
referred to as ‘the greatest slep toward
dlsarmei-t since the war."
Inclusion of France and . Italy in the
conference, in addition G* the original
proposed conferees—the United States,
Great Bri.ain and Japan—has created an
extremely favorable impression through
out govertunent circles.
It was CAclared in responsible quarters
that while France would discuss llinita
tion of ntvies. she could not consider
land disai naments unless the United
States arbLrate* and signs the Clemen
ceau pact agreeing to aid France with
her full strjngth In the event France is
attacked. While all expressions of opin
ion today were entirely unofficial, they
were accepttd as indicating the trend of
the govern i* nt's Inclinations.
The Frenea government has taken un
der advisement President Harding's pro
posal. Selden Whitehouse, American
charge d'afft ires, called at the foreign
office, o nlnacructions from Wahsington,
to ascertain the French attitude.
FEEL CERTAIN
OF CONFERENCE
WASHINGTON, July Ilf—A disarma
ment conference in Washington was re
garded as certain today.
Following the Informal query to the
great powers, ashing whether they would
be willing to enter into such a confer
ence, Secretary Hughes was preparing
the official invitations in order to be
ready to dispatch them upon receipt of
word that they are acceptable.
Great Britain and Japan, through pub
lic statements of their government lead
ers, have already bound themselves to
Join in a disarmament conference If the
United States would call it.
Public opinion in France and Italy will
not allow leaders of these nations to re
fuse the invitation even if they should
regard It unfavorably. It is believed here.
China, whose friendliness to this coun
try has been many times emphasised,
will certainly accept, it Is thought. China
will participate in Far Eastern discus
sions.
k One of the fundamental factors back
■>f the decision to call the conference is
■hat by this step the Administration has
■virtually begun the framework of lta
'promised association of nations to pre
vent war.
Harding and Hughes included In their
call the questions In the Pacific. It has
been pointed out that disarmament
hinged on the events In the Pacific.
V. 8. AGAINST
iJAP TREATY.
I It has been made plain that American
kentlment is opposed to the Anglo-Japnn
Ilia nee. This question will be thrashed
out in the conference and the result prob
ably will be that this pace will be al
lowed to die.
The open door policy In China, vali
antly fought for by Hughes, must be
definitely agreed upon at the confer
ence. Other Pacific questions that might
prove obstacles to disarmament such as
Japan's mandate over Yap also must be
smoothed oat.
Senator Borah, author of the resolu
tion for a naval disarmament conference
between America. Great Britain and
Japan, refused to comment on Harding's
call. His opposition to including any
tent the three leading naval powers In
the conference has been well known, how
ever. .
In the case of Italy, similar assur
ances have been received. Italy hs
been staggering under an enormous war
debt. She is beset with domestic un
rest; she has nothing to fear any more
from ikit ancient enemy. Austria-Hun

HARDING HELPS BOYS LAUNCH BOAI

? . - - - . • -■:l §<
Acting as sponsor at Raritan, N. J., of
a rowboat made by a 9-year-old boy,
President Harding delivered a Fourth of
July oration of a single sentence in trib
ute to the aspirations of American boy
hood. The diminutive craft, which In
spired the toast, was the Raritan, nine
feet over all. conceived and built by
Joseph Frdinghuysen, Jr., son of the
senior Senator from New Jersey, at whose
home Mr. and Mrs. Harding were guests
The bank of an artificial lake was the
scene of the launching and will be the
home port of the Raritan as sh? sails a
to decrease her national outlay would
be doubly welcomed in Rome.
The belief prevails in Washington that
If there Is any hesitancy on the part
of any of the powers consulted, it will
come from Japan and France.
France has the largest military estab
lishment In the world today and the re
duction of armies as well as of navies
would come within the scope of the dis
cussion which President Harding put
forth. France has steadfastly maintained
that French safety makes necessary such
a huge standing army and that France
cannot in Justice to herself and in rec
ognitlon of the “German menace” consent
to a reduction In these forces.
Japan is now engaged in a fast arma
ment program—both in the air ami on
sea—which is designed to make the em
pire of the Fur East practically the
equal of any world power in a military
ard naval sense. This program is still
t from completion.
Fully as important as the r lament
conference Itself would be the llscusslon
of the far eastern problems between the
l .lited States. Great Britain. Japan and
China, which the President suggested as
a necessary accompaniment of such a
meeting.
SETTLE ALL
PACIFIC PROBLEMS.
It is assumed here that if held, the con
ference will undertake to settle the whole
array of cotuplica'ed and vexing prob
lems of the Pacific and the Far Hast. In
cluding Shantung and Korea, the “open
door 1 ’ in China, the Yap dispute. Japa
nese activities in Siberia and the actions
of both Japan ami Great Britain 111 for
tifying islands of the Pacific. Tills
would constitute a monumental undertak
ing in itself.
In disarmament circles in Congress to
day the Administration's move was
bailed with approval and acclaim. Both
Democrats and Republicans expressed
gratification over the turn of events
and indicated that the President would
be given fullest congressional support in
pursuing his course.
It was made plain, however, that the
United States will proceed cautiously in
the matter of allowing the developments
to date to effect the American naval pro
gram. The naval bill is now pending and
almost on the verge of passage. Leaders
indicated that for safety’s sake, if nothing
else, the present bill will be pushed to
passage and no change will be contem
plated for the present, at least. In the
American naval program.
LONDON PAPERS
WELCOME MOVE
LONDON, July 11—President Har
ding's proposal for a disarmament con
ference to be held in Washington has
been cordially received in Great Brit
ain and the prediction was made in re
sponsible quarters today that Great
Britain will accept.
The American ambassador. George Har
vey, held a forty-minute conference this
morning with Marquis Curzon, the for
eign secretary. The subject of tlielr con
versation was not revealed, but It Is as
sumcd it referred to President Harding’s
offer.
"There can be no donbt that Presi
dent Harding's proposal will be prompt
ly and gladly accepted by the British
government with the full concurrence of
the dominions in the same spirit In which
It was made," srtld the London Times.
"The task for the proposed confer
ence will be as delicate, and unless It
be discerningly approached, as dangerous
as that which any conference has ever
essayed to discharge.
"Not even the peace conference at
Paris had to face issues or more
fraught with great possibilities* for good
o evil to the world.
GREAT CAUTION
IS NEEDED.
“If the Pacific conference be held, no
caution can be too great in the prepara
tion of Its agenda, and In the preliminary
negotiations which would be held to
reach preliminary agreements upon the
issueg contained in the agenda. Only
h when such preliminary solutions are found
can the conferer rt be formally convoked.
Otherwise it mis.ht fall and failure might
be the prelude to disaster."
Addressed is it Is, to all the greatest
states In the world It Is practically an ap
peal to the human race to have done
with wars. Though It mentions the Pa
cific and Far Eastern problems, it goes
far beyond that.
"Great Britain will respond gladly to
the call," declared the Dally Express.
1 “Limitation of armaments and a Far
Eastern settlement moan permanent peace
and remove every jarring factor in An
glo-American relations now attributable
to our position towards Japan.”
The Dally Telegraph called President
Harding's decision "an act of the first
historical significance." This newspaper
announced that the warmest tribute was
paid in Great Britain to President Hard-i
ing's earnestness of purpose and breadth
of vision.
HARVEY CALLS ON
LLOYD GEORGE.
Colonel Harvey, It was learned, handed
to Marquis Curzon the official text of
President Harding's offer.
Both the Chinese and Japanese am

office last Thursday to consider the cabled
results of the conversations Sir Auck

Italian and Japare-e ambassadors at
Washington.
The foreign secretary was said to have
told Colonel Harvey that he considered
the time ripe for President Harding to
act. Colonel Harvey Immediately sent a

U. S. ASKED
TO AID SI DERI A
WASHINGTON, July 11. An appeal
to the United Slates by the Far Eastern
republic to compel Japan to withdraw
her troops from Siberia “at the earliest
possible date," is contained in a note
handed to the American minister at Pe
king, the text of which reached here to
day. Similar note* were addressed to
Great Britain and China.
The not, which was the work of M.
Yourln, minister of foreign affairs of the
Chita republic, accuses Japan of instigat
ing rlie coup In Vladivostok, by which
the ant! Rolan'vist forces overthrew the
existing government, and asserts that all
the allied governments which sent troops
into Siberia during the World War are
responsible for the presence of Japanese
troops on Russian soil.
Because of this common responsibility,
the note declares, the allied govern
ments. Including tie United States, are
under obligations to compel the imme
diate withdrawal of the Japanese from
Siberia
CHINA ASKED
TO TAKE PART
WASHINGTON. July 11—Following
are the salient points of President Hard
ing’s statements that be would call a
disarmament conference. The great
powers. Great Britain, •’ranee, Italy and
Japan, which, with the United States,
were known as “the principal allied and
asoclated powers" are to be invited to
the disarmament conference.
The conference is "to be held In Wash
ington at a time to be mutually agreed
upon."
The question of limitation of arma
ments has a close relation to Pacific t id
far eastern problem* and the President
has suggested that the powers should
undertake Sn connection with th’s con
ference the consideration of ail matters
bearing upon their solution with a view
to filching a common understanding with
a respect of principles and policies in
the Far East.
This has been communicated to the
power concerned and China has also
been Invited to take part In the discus
sion relating to far eastern problems.”
SENATORS AND
OTHERS APPROVE
WASHINGTON. July 11.—Unqualified
approval of the President's proposals for
a disarmament conference was expressed
today by Senator Lodge of Massachu
setts. chairman of the Senate Foreign Re
lations Committee.
Senator Lodge suggested that prob
ably the first step to be proposed to the
conference would be the reduction of
naval armaments. "The President's pro
posal for disarmament Is highly satls
fuetory," Senator Lodge said. “There Is
tin necessity for the President to wait for
congressional sanction or approval. The
executive branch of the Government Is
completely empowered to enter into any
negotiations for disarmament, it may
deem best and most practical. I do not
regard the Presidents proposal as con
flicting in any way with the Borah plan,
but as merely a broadening of the scope
of the latter.
“I consider it entirely proper to in
clude France and Italy in whatever ne
gotiations the President may enter Into
as these two nations were among the
principal allied and associated powers In
the World War and as both of them
possess navies."
“A disarmament conference was bound
to come," said .Secretary of War Weeks.
"It has my approval.”
Senator Pomerene, Democratic member
of the Senate Foreign Relations Commu
ted said :
"I am glad to have any movement begun
in favor of disarmament but viewing the
subject from the standpoint of the United
States, tt would, I think, have been a very
much more simple task to have taken up
the question of national disarmament
with Great Britain and Japan.
"The United States is disarming inter
nally as witness the reduction of the army
to 150,000. The navies of France and
Italy are at present.lnconsequential The
United Stgtea. Great Britain and Japan
seem to be three nations most ambitious
foe naval construction. These natioDa '.kj\
certainly settle the disarmament propo
sition . more quickly than If the situa
tion is confused by the injection into it
a discussion of general disarmament In
Europe and Asia or both."
SEES ABANDOMENT
OF YAP TREATY'.
Senator McCormick of Illinois, Repub
lican member of the Senate Foreign Re
lations Committee, said:
"The only road to disarmament lies
through international agreement. A
genuine and lasting limitation of naval
disarmament must be predicted upon an
abandoment of the Angla-.Tapanese al
liance. 1 do not doubt that if the Ameri
can State Department stands firm, the
Anglo Japanese alliance will lie abandoned
and we shall secure a real limitation of
armament at sea. The consent of France
and it migbt be almost said the consent of
Franca alone, is necessary for a drastb
reduction of the vast armies still main
tained la .continental Europe.”

Kid Pickets Fight
for Nickel Soda in
N. Y.; Guard Stores
NEW YORK, July 11.—Rumblings
of the soda water revolution of the
Bronx were heard in every drug store
there today.
Groups of kids flocked about tho
shiny drug store windows, making
faces at the clerks Inside and halting
any one who attempted to enter. The
"picket line" of the insurgents, pro
testing against the high price of ice
cream sodas, pleaded with customers
to "lay off the 17-cent soda until we
can get it for a nickel.”
The boycotters bore placards of
"We want 5 cent sodas" and "Don't
pay high prices—make 'em come
down.”
The nickel soda movement was or
ganised among children of the Bronx
by Miss Ann* Grant, who staged pi
rai’es and protest meetings.
The organization believes that by
boycotting the soda fountains they
•an force the proprietors to lower
prices.

Mr. McDougal was a membtr of Base
Hospital No 32 nnd saw overseas service.
“Since the petitions were filed with
the city cl rk the charge has been made
that several signatures were fraudulently
obtained." Mr Miller said. "We wish to
call attention to the fact that any per
son who actually did sign the petition
who now says he did not sign is guilty

“We know that we filed a legal-proof
document In good faith with the city
clerk. Immediately following its filing
certain persons rallying around Mayor
Charles W. Jewett Illegally obtained the
petition from the city clerk's office
These persons deliberately and with full
knowledge of the law In the case, filched
the petition out of the clerk s office. Then
they seek to show that several signatures
have been fradulently obtained. This,
after they themselves had been in pos
session of the petition through an Illegal
act; this after they themselves have de
liberately committed a violation of the
law governing the filing of such a docu

to that petition while It was illegally in

person* determined to prevent the matter
from going to the polls so that the voters
may have an opportunity to express
themselves tn the matter?
“Plaza supporters have said that the
great rain of the voter* of the city favor
the project. If this be true why is it
that the champions of the scheme are so
fearful that the voters will have a voice
in the matter at the polls? Why is It
also that the supporters of the plan are
conducting such a bitter campaign
against the movement?
"We do not wish to engage in any
undignified campaign. Our desire is to
see that the voters of the city have an
opportunity to vote on the question. Very
naturally we also desire that the voters
be given correct information on the sub

believe that it will be. our campaign will
be one of Information—not a campaign
