Postmaster General Hays and his four assistant postmasters general will resolve themselves into & “flying. the four postal conventions to open at four separate places in the morning. They will visit the conventlon of first and second class postmasters, to open a three-day convention at the New Natlonal Museum; the conven- tlon of third and fourth class post- masters at the Post Office Department little theater”; the convention of su- pervisory post’ office officlals_at the auditorium of the Interior- Depart- ment and the convention of rural let- ter carriers at the Washington Hotel. Over 2,000 Delegates Expected. More than 2,000 delegates, includ- Ing postmasters of the largest citles of the nation, are expected to attend ‘he four meetings, and of this number approximately 800 delegates are ex- pected to be at the joint banquet Thursday night at the New Willard Hotel, when President Harding, the Vice President and members of the cablnet are to attend. Postmaster Sites of Harrisburg and other delegates arrived in Washing- ton today to make arrangements for their respective meetings. The great rt of the Post Office Department s blossomed forth with flags of the allied nations and v state flags. The state flag of Indiana, Pos mster Hays' state, was not in vei however. In honor of the gathering of postal workers here tomorrow, the greatest in the history of the National Capital, guards and elevator conductors of the Post Office Department today ap- neared In brand-new uniforms of “letter carrier gray.” _Commissfoner Oyster will formally welcome tomorrow morning at 10:30 o'clock the delegates to the conven- tion of first and second class post- masters, meeting in_the auditorium of the New National Museum.

The National Association of Rural Letter Carriers will open its conven- tion tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock at the Washington Hotel. This con- vention was scheduled to’ be held at the National Hotel, but the disastrous fire there made a switch of plans nece: TY. The Postmaster General is to ad dress the first and second class post- masters Wednesday afternoon. Each of the four conventions will devote its time to problems peculiar to each branch of postal endeavor, endeavor- ing to work along the lines of great- er service outlined by the Postmaster General. President to Receive Delegates. Wednesday afternoon President Harding is to receive delegates to all four conventions at the White House. Arrangements for the four gather- ings are in charge of a local com- mittee composed of Chief Clerk W. M. Mooney and Rush Simmons, chief in- spector, representing the Post Office Department: Postmaster M. O. Chance and Assistant Postmaster W. H. Haycock, representing the Washing- ton city post office, and V. A. Stone- cifer, ‘representing the third and fourth class postmasters, and Wisdom Brown, representing the rural car- riers. {ARMENIA FACES HORRORS AS WINTER APPROACHES Two District Areas Involved in ‘ Russian Famine, Says Charles V. Vickrey. Winter threatens to plunge Arme- nia and neighboring districts of the old Russian provinces In transcau- casia into “one of the most appalling hdtrors of history,” according to a statement by Charles V. Vickrey, gen- jéral secretary of the Near East Re- lief, who recently returned from the levant. The announcement was made }in connection with the appeal today jof John B. Larner, treasurer of the local relief committee, for more funds. Concerning the situation overseas I Mr. Vickrey said: “There are two distinct large areas involved in the Russian famine prob- {lem—the Volga reglon, reaching | northwest from the Caspian sea, and southern Russia or transcaucasia, in- i cluding Georgia and Russian Armenia | to the west of the Caspian. “In what ‘T had once known as the {busy and _comparatively - well-stocked market places of Erivan, the capital of Armenia, I found nothing in the way of new and desirable merchandise, but only hopeless women and children wandering | about, trying to exchange a second-hand i garment or other personal property for | food with which to satisfy hunger. This { was in the warm month of August, when fresh vegetables and other perishable articles of food were to some extent available. One’s imagination recoils be- fore the picture of what conditions will be in February and March, when the snow will lie deep on these high pla- teaus. : “The causes of the famine date back to and include the wholesale massacres of 1915, when hundreds of thousands of | Turkish Armenians sought and found i refuge in the Russian Caucasus. Every year since that time the country has been more or less overrun and pillaged by contending or unfriendly military War has not ceased for Ar- It has been the Belgium of the near east. Conditions are worse today {than they were at the signing of the armistic than fifty American experienced relief ‘workers in that area, who in the vicinity of Alexandropol alone are caring for 28,000 orphan children, constituting probably the greatest assemblage of or- phan children that the world has ever known. The president of the local go says that there are 20,000 more children in his district that wHl suffer and per- ish during the coming winter if they are not added to this orphanaged popu- lation. And this is in only one of the lier.” Deaths Reported. : The following deaths have been reportsd to heaith department within the last Ewenty. 1 tz'vm wburg, 57, Eme: ‘Hospital. loa: .

Third Secretary Added. A third secretary has been added to the delegation. He is John Chartres, and his appointment has provoked much speculation. His name is un- known in. Irish politics and he is the only one connected with the delega- tion who is not a member of the dail eireann and any other representative body. He is the grandson of Rich- ard Chartres of Dublin, his father being the late Sergt. Maj. Chartres of the 8th Hussars. He married the Italian poetess, Anne Vivanti. His accession to the Irish delega- tion is taken as indicating that the Sinn Fein is engaging all expert ad- vice possible, as he 18 an expert in several branches of law and has served in the intelligence section of the British war office. Others invited to assist the delega- tion, although not Sinn Feiners, are Dr. ' George Orien, histonan ~and economist, and George Russell of the irish Homestead and a former oflici of the British local government board, to handle the intricate questions of local government. Truce Breaks Chief Risk. The chief risk to a settiement is now believed to be in Ireland, rather than in the conference chamber. Both sides allege that breaches of the truce have recently multiplied. Dublin castle claims to have a list of 600 such breaches, while Sinn Fein liai- son officers have issued numerous instances of alleged aggression by po- lice, auxiliaries and soldiers. To carry arms is a breach of the truce, but to drill troops is not; nelther is the transfer of troops; and each side has answered the others complaint by saying that they were only training or moving troops. The appointment to the London delegation of Eamonn J. Dugan, who since the trust, has acted as chief uasgon officer, removed from lreland a man whose great discretion helped to the avoidance of trouble. His successor, Murphy, has had less ex- perience. May Discuss Truee First. ‘This question of breaches of the truce possibly will be the first subject taken up by the conference. Another danger some anticipate is that if the interned Irishmen are released there will be celebrations throughout the aountry, ‘which might cauise clashes between the people and the crown forces. It is understood, however, that there is no immediate intention of releasing the prisoners, but once the conference is well started the release of some of these men is regarded as probable. Those convicted by recognized courts of politi- cal offenses, it s said, would have to await amnesty, which would follow the final settlement. DE VALERA NOW EXPECTED. Believed Irish Parley Will Last Until Christmas. BY HIRAM K. MODERWELL. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1021 LONDON, England, October 10.— Soldlers of the ‘“Irish republican | army” mingled with British bobbies sto keep order, Irish republican flags waved beneath the union jack, Brit- ish officers honored admission cards signed by the Irish republican “consul to ndon.” and cheers for king George arriving from Manchester es- caped only by a few minutes collid- ing with cheers for the Sein Fein delegation arriving from Dublin at Buston station Saturday evening. Fully 30,000 persons gathered in and about Euston to welcome the Irish- men, for, despite the preceeding dif- ficulties, people remain .confldent that the Irish conference opening to- morrow will be the one deciding the Irish destinies after three centuries of intermittant struggle. After leaving the station the dele- gates went by back streets to two private residences engaged for them as residences and offices during the London conference. A squad of Irish cooks who had been brought from Dublin immediately took charge of the kitchens under the direction of a famous Irish chef. These men are doubtless loyal Sinn Feiners who would rather die than betray the of- ficial secrets which they certainly will overhear during the meals. The delegates have made it known that they will not lunch at Downing —_ street, as is usual at important con- ferences. They prefer Irish food ac- companied by unfettered Gaelic con- versation. One delegate, Michael Col- lins, reputed to be the most elusive and fiery of all the republican lead- ers, did not arrive Saturday, being detained, it was said, “by family af- fairs,” but he is due to arrive in Lon- don today. EEamon De Valera, although not a delegate, will come quietly to be in constant conference with his col- leagues. The delegates call themselves plen: It is also believed that: potentiaries of the Irish republic, but | it is questionable how far they pro- pose to exercise plenary powers. Their past position has been that they were competent to negotiate only as the elected representatives of the Irish republic. If they negotiate on these terms they will be able only to refer the British government pro- posals to an Irish plebiscite without assuming_responsibility. This whole question of status has been waived by agreement between Prime Minister Lloyd George and De Valera, but if the Jrishmen enter the conference without formally aban- doning their claim 1o independence they will probably try to obtain the utmost diplomatic advantage from this fact in the early stages of the conference. However, it is universal- 1y believed that they will not run the risk of a rupture onthis technicality, which has already been thrashed out in the correspondence with Lloyd George. Nevertheless, it is recogniz- ed that the chief danger to the nego- tiations will arise in the first days during the sparring for position. Competent opinion gives warning that this danger still exists. Long Conferemce Likely. It is notable that this diplomatig battle of supreme interest to the British empire will be fought by an | Irishman and 2 Welshman. One Lon- don wag asserted that the Irish had intended to open the proceedings in Gaelic, but, realizing that Lloyd George would reply Welsh, dropped the plan. The opinion here is that the con- ference will last at least until Christmas, but that if the first fort- night is passed without disaster suc- cess may be expected. The publ will not learn much of the progress of the conference. The official news will be confined to brief noncommit- tal bulletins and everybody concerncd will be excessively guarded in speech. The Irish ~delegates who sometimes talk discreetly for pub- lication when in_Ireland here seal thelr lips. The official representative of the delegation, Desmond Fitzger- ald, is a genius at knowing nothing. His almost invariable reply to a question is, “Really you know more about that than I do.” —_— No. 10 Downing street has been the home of the prime ministers of Eng- 1and for almost two hundred years. in Icy Stairs Long, cold hallways that seem miles long, and stairs down which chill drafts prowl a-nights.
