4 6 WOMANCRAY ST - INGREATPARLEY President Méy’sglec One as U. S. Delegate to Disarm- ament Conference. IDEA STRONGLY BACKED Organizations Representing 10, 000,000 Indorse Proposed Selection. The voice of woman will be heard and the weight of her wisdom. felt when the delegates from the several foreign nations invited by President Harding to discuss disarmament and the problems of the Pacific and the far east meet in this city, probably next November. That President Harding will appoint & woman as one of America’s dele- gates to attend this gathering in the interest of civilization is considered very likely by those who are in a position to speculate authoritatively. It is known that he is giving the idea of such an appointment much serious thought, and there are those in his confidence who are convinced that Wwhen he finally announces the per- sonnel of the” American delegation there will be a woman in the list. The wisdom of such a selection has been pointed out to from many sources. Numerous letters have been received at the White House suggesting and urging the ap- rointment of a woman to take part in this step toward the passing of guns. Many and varied reasons have been advanced by those urging such an appointment, but in all of the com- munications one’ general idea, or argu- ment, has been presented and that is to the effect that disarmament is & matter which has a direct appeal to the woman—that she is especial- ly well qualified to pass judgment on its limitation or its complete abolish- ment., Also it is pointed out that woman's voice is being raised with authority in business, in church and school and state, and that by every right of her womanhood and her citizenship it the President should be heard when these nations | meet next November. Prominent among those such an appointment is Bigelow. editor of Good Housekeep- ing. He also has obtained expres- sions from a number of women prom- inent in woman’s organization work throughout the country. He states that organizations representing an aggregate membership of about 10.- 000,000 women have indorsed the idea. Among some of them are: Mrs. ;gmcnunx illiam F. Raymond Robins, president of the National Women's Trade Union League: Mrs. William Atherton Du Puy of this city, president of the League of American Pen Women: Mrs. Thomas G. Winter, president. General Federation of Women's Clubs; Mrs. Philip N. Moore, presi- dent of the Women’s Press Clubs: the Chicago Federation of Women High School Teachers, Miss Jane Martix, president of the League of Advertis- ing Women of New York: Harriet C. Emmons, president of the New York League of Business and Professional Women’s Clubs; National League of Woman Voters (Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt. president); Maude S. Evans. president of the Illinois Press As: Ciation: Emma M. Gillett of this city, president of the Women's Bar Asso- ciation of the District of Columbia. and Madge Jenison. president of the Women's National Book Association. Aside from seeking official recog- nition of women's special ability and right to participate in public serv- ice. practically all of these sugges- tions demand that the appointment of a woman should be made on basis of fitness only and not from political considerations. It also is pointed out to the President that in the event \ “714-1IST.

Ward, in regular old-fashioned army"style. The hole was about eight feet deep, at the bottom of ‘which 1s a hot coal fire,| upon which was. placed a large side of bacon and & can of beans. The whole thing was covered over with sand and dirt and will be allowed to roast for elghteen hours, the beans being served at dinner tomorrow. Twenty-five pounds of beans are used to feed' the 100 hungry boys from Washington. The. first opportunity for outside drill was had at camp today. after a three-day lay-off, owing to heavy rains. At 7 o'clock this.morning the Washington students were marched about one-half a mile from company headquarters to the parade grounds, where they joined the remainder of |the 3a Battalion and received their first instruction In morning .set-up exercises. Returning from the parade grounds to the barracks they were equipped with fleld belts, sabers and rifies and marched to another part of the camp, where the elements of military tac- tics were demonstrated to them -by a platoon of Regular Army soldiers. Suffer From Inoculation. Many of the boys, suffering from ! sore arms, due to recent innoculation for typhoid, found it extremely dif- ficult to execute the field maneuvers, 'but in spite of their suffering, not a member of the Washington cgmpany [asked to be excused from ranks. The various preliminary- drills occupied three hours, after which the entire battalion returned to barracks in regular formation, where they cleaned their rifles, policed the barracks, both inside and out, and prepared to eat a jhearty dinner, which will consist of corn on the cob, beefsteak, sliced to- matoes With. .mayonnaise dressing, chowolate pudding, iced tea, hot bis- cuits, butter and milk.

By the Assoclated Press. LANCASTER, N. H., August 4.— Lancaster and all the surropnding White Mountain country joined in public welcome today to President Harding,” who is to spend the re- mainder of the week on vacation at Mount Prospect. Thousands from other towns came in by automobile and train to swell the crowd that gathered in continental square to cheer the chief executive and hear him deliver a short response. It was arranged for him to speak without leaving the automobile, and public officials planned it possible to spare him from shaking hands witn the crowd. The President agreed to come here for the occasion after a committee had called on him yesterday at the Mount Prospect lodge of Secretary Weeks, where Mr: and Mrs. Harding are guests. Former State Senator Ir- ving Drew headed the committee and was chairman of the welcome meeting today. Plays Game of Golf. Before he came into Lancaster the President ptayed a round of golf on the miniature course improvised by members. of the vacation party on the summit of Mount Prospect. A silver cup has beep purchased for the winner of the week's play over the course, which covers only a small area but has many obstacles in the form of huge roc¢k and underbrush. Although it was indicated before the President left Washington that a proc- lamation of peace with the central empires might be issued by him from Mount Prospect, it is not now expected that the step will be taken until the vacation is over. Under gresent plans Mr. Harding will be Back in the capital next Tues- day or Wednesday and probably will give the -question of a peace procla- mation his first attention after he reaches the White House.
