WASHINGTON, Dec. 23. —(?)—Developments here today pointed with increas- ing definiteness to American participation in the prelim- inary league of nations dis- armament discussions if a feasible way can be found. Both Secretary Kellogg and Chair- man Borah of the senate foreign re- lations committee conferred with President Coolidge and here were indications that a decision virtually had been reached, although » the American reply to the league invita- tion would not be forwarded until after the holidays. Senator Borah said as he left the White House that he was in com- plete accord with the president's views, but he did not Indicate defi- nitely what those Ciews were. To other quarters, It was suggested that congress probably would be asked to express its opinion on the subject, at least to the extent of making an appropriation to defray the expenses ofan American delegation. WASHINGTON, Dec, 23.—(#)— President Coolidge has progressed so far in his effort to find a way tosac- cept the Jeague of nations invitation to a preliminary disarmament dis cussion that he has asked congres- sional leaders whether an appropria. tion will be necessary: ee CITY SUED FOR MONEY SEIZED IN RAID HERE A suit for the recovery of $683 with ‘Interest at 7 per cent since irreconcilables threaten all sorts of July B1, 1924, was filed today vy trouble for the court adv: ae.
