Logan and Owen Dy Young, and Mr. Frazer of Great Britain, who have slept little during the last 48 hours, left the conference room and the chief dele- gates began framing ‘the invitations for the German government to # a delegation to jon.

Meanwhile the conference will take a recess with the exception of the jurists’ committees which are drafting the results of the fort- night's work so that the document can be submitted to the Germans. The conference will enter its final phase with the arrival of the Ger- 3 who will be asked to express their opinions on the program for putting the Dawes scheme into MARION, Ohio,“ Aug. 2—Sim- plicity marked the first anniversary of the death of the late President Warren \Samaliel Harding.in this, home town. ~ Always avoiding ostentatious cere mony while he lived, his ‘wish were being followed after death..No public ceremony had been arran, dther than the laying of a. wreath at his tomb in the cemetery here.
