ERSHING ACGEPTS BRITISH INVITATION London Papers Hotly Score 1: Government in Delaying F Arrangements. By the Associated Press. PARIS, October 12.—Gen. Pershing has accepted the British government's invitation to assist in the presentation of the congressional medal of honor tp the “unknown soldier” of Great Britain in Westminster Abbey. It is rirobable the ceremony will take place October 17. In transmitting his tentative accept- mnce through Ambassador Harvey in London, Gen. Pershing has asked Mr. Harvey to take up the matter with the British foreign office and war office, able to the British government will be glad to go to London that day, canceling an engagement he had made in this eity. The Pershing episode which caused 2 lively exchange of telegrams for ten days between Paris and the American embassy in London is re- garded as closed. The American bat- talion which came to this city to take part in the ceremony of presenting the congressional medal of honor to the French “unknown soldier” was de- tained in Paris for seven days in the expectation that Ambassador Harvey could give some definite advices as to the ceremony planned in London. The troops were finally ordered to re- turn to Coblenz, and departed Sunday. Government Scored. The morning newspapers give much gpace to the delay in initing Gen. Pershing to London to lay the Ameri- can congressional medal on the tomb of the unknown soldier in Westmin- ster Abbey and the official explana- tion given of the delay. Satisfaction generally expressed by the news- papers that the American govern- ment, as reported in cable dispatches, minimized the affair. There is some sharp editorial cr! cism, however, of the British depart- ments concerned. The Times says Great Britain has been served very cratic muddling and evas sponsibility are answerable for the trouble. The Daily News says that somebody in authority committed a particularly tactless and stupid blunder, and that a full and frank apology is due the American_government and its dis- tinguished representative on behalf of the British people. Knowlelge that the Washingto: government _minimizes the affair, says the Daily Express, “will be re ceived with immense relief and satis- faction in Great Britain, where the tribute of Congress to the British dead is highly appreciated. Delay Is Expl “There is no truth in the assertion that there has been hesitation on the part of his majesty's government with regard to acceptance of the con- gressional medal which the American Congress voted should be bestowed on the British unknown warrior. On the contrary, the American ambassa- dor’s notification of the intention of the American government to bestow the decoration was answered by Lord Curzon in the warmest terms. The answer was accompanied by expres- sions of profound appreciation of the ction of Congress. '“u is deeply regretted that Gen. Pershing should, according to the press, have been inconvenienced by the delay fixing the date for bestowal of the medal. The delay was due to the fact that it had been hoped to accompany the announcement of the date with an announcement of the honor which his majesty’will bestow in return upon the American un- known, and in that regard difficult points of procedure arose requiring reference to different ministers and authorities, many of whom were ab- sent from London. “Nor was it realized until very re- cently that Gen. Pershing's time in Europe was o limited. As soon as that was realized it was decided no longer to delay arrangement of the ceremonies for bestowal of the con- gressional medal. Gen. Pershing con- sequently was informed that it was hoped he would find it possible to visit London for the ceremony before e returned to Americs, and has ex- Father of 32 Forgets Some in Family When He Duplicates Names SAVANNAH, Ga., October 12. —A.

Park View School should have fa- cilities for. all-the children east of Georgia avenue and north of Co- lumbia road and south of Rock Creek Church road, he said, which is a fast- growing section. Children should not be required to cross the Georgia ave- nue car tracks, particularly during the morning hour, when ghere is a constant procession of cars. The present building, he continued, would lend itself readily to enlarge- ment, including such facilities as every modern school should have, such as a gymnasium, swimming pool, etc. The school now has four portables, and there is an immediate need for one more. Shows Increased Attendance. Miss Frances Fairley, principal of the school, gave figures to indicate that the school population wae constantly grow-{ ing, despite the efforts of the school authorities to send children to other schools where they live some: distance away from the Park View building. The enrollment at Park View_last year was 978, Miss Fairley said, afid on the first day of the present term was 1,028, and yesterday it reached 1,063. The 00l now {s-carrying six more classes than any of the pther schools, she sald. In order to accommcdate the children in a building originally built for 640 children, the auditorium is being used, as well as the balcony, manual training room, domestic science room, library, and, in fact, every nook where a class can be put. Miss Falirley also expressed the fear that if it was necessary to wait until 1924 for rellef, there would be few teachers for the school, as they now are laboring daily under a tremendous strain. She urged the association and the people of the section to unite im- mediately to obtain one more portable and one more teacher. ‘That the children of the Park View School were the leaders in school garden work was stated by Miss Fairley. She told of the help obtained from Charles E. Ebell, .who loaned a large lot for the garden work. The association voted to appoint a committee of three of its members to thank Mr. Ebell. Home Letter Boxes Approved. President Geor?e H. Russell urged the members to aid in the home letter box campalgn now being fostered by the || local post office officials, and aiso to clean up the section of all litter. Mrs. R. H. Prescott, Mrs. H. T. Ivers and Mrs. R. Hellbach were named as representatives of the association on the general committee of the Federa- tion of Citizens’ Associations in con- Britain and Japan, which are every day showing fresh premonitory symp- toms’of a redoubtable conflict and are trying to turn back the current which is sweeping them on. Let.us suppose that about 1912 the Paris, Berlin and London governments,* calling together other powers, had tried to settle their quarrels by diplomacy, and we shall have an idea of the game which is about to_be plaved in the American capital. In other words, if the prin- cipal negotiators fail to agree, it may be feared that the gravest events will issue from these unsuccessful nego- tions in the near future. The con- sciousness which all would acquire of their inability to reach an under- standing would serve to precipitate disaster.” Likened to Hague. Jacques Bainville, foreign editor of La_ Liberte: “No human force was able to pre- vent the great European war and all the efforts made served only to pre- cipitate*it. Will the Washington con- ference prove more fortunate than the conferences at The Hague? These disarmament conferences resemble the conferences of physicians around the bed of a patient gravely ill. When the princes of science come together it is generally a bad sign. It is axio- matic for France that a new war would be a disaster much greater than the last, and would ruin the only posi- tive result of the last, which was that Germany was sent home, Another war, everd if it broke out in Hono- lulu, would be a signal for revenge for the Germans.

This pru- dent attitude of British diplomacy in the last few weeks gives hope that the foreign office, seeing higher and farther than its traditional policy of division, will collaborate with our delegates in Washington to smooth over a disagreement which, if it led to war, would have consequences per- haps even worse than those of the terrible adventure from which hu- manity has not yet entirely recov- ered.” France as Concliliator. Philippe Millet, editor of L'europe Nouvelle: “We should be less anx- ious if we were sure that In Japan it is the voice of democrats and wise heard. A solution for the most dif- ficult problems can be found if there is a democratic, or at least a pacific spirit on both sides. “But every one knows to what a pass events will lead when the policy of one of the two disputants is that of the general staff. The role of France in Washington should be that of a conclli- ator destined to prevent a new catastro- phe. Because of its disinterested poal- tion it can employ itself actively to find grounds for an understanding which will permit a rapprochement of the Unit- ed States and Japan. It would be a mistake, perhaps, as costly as it would be inelegant, to seck to sell this service. Those who imagine that France would have to exercise a kind of blackmail and refuse its good offices for the main- tenance of peace if the United States re- fused first to show France certain kind- nesses in Europe fail to see that the only result would be to offend our Amer- ican friends and make us look ridicu- lous.

By the Associated Press. LONDON, October 12—The British and Irjsh delegates, pending a re- sumption_of the Irish:conference to- morrow, were today ,considering al- leged breaches of the truce:in Ire- 1and and endeavoring to devise means by which they might be avoided dur- ing the negotiations looking to a set- tlement of the-future of Ireland. This was the firat-'dificulty faced by the conferees, the assumption by the dail eireann of the functions of government in Ireland having caused much irritation here. ~Actual out- burst -of conflicts with the crown forces are regarded as less serious than the virtual ousting .of the British authorities by the Sinn Fein courts and police, as the crown forces cannot, without breaking the truce, take active measures against this policy op the part of the Sinn Fein. Breaking of Truce Charged. Undgr the terms of the truce, the crown forces must not carry arms, which the British government alleges the Sinn Feingrs do. Eamon J. Duggan, who acted as chief lialson officer in Ireland is act- ing for the Sinn Fein in this matter, and A. W. Cope, assistant under secre- tary for Ireland, who originally sign- ed “the truce, has come to London from Dublin to advise the govern- ment's representatives. The Sinn Fein, which has carried out religiously its agreements re- garding publication of the proceed- ings in the conferences, complained this morning that there had been leaks on the government side and said this was another matter which they shall demand remedied. Premier Meets Cabinet. Prime Minister Lloyd George laid before a full meeting of the British cabinet council meeting today the subjects discussed at yesterday's conferences between representatives of the Irish republican parliament and a committee of cabinet officers. A recess of one day was taken by the men considering Irish affairs, who will meet tomorrow morning, at 11 o'clock, to resume their consideration of some means by which the Irish problem can be adjusted. Little was made public regarding the details of the two meetings held by the conferees yesterday, but there was some intimation that objection was made by the cabinet officials present to the recruiting of men to the Irish republican army. It was pointed out that several thousand men have been added to the ranks of the military forces un- der direction of the dail eireann, and it seemed probable that some sep would be taken to seoure an agree- ment by which neither party would increase its armed forces during the present negotiations. Expect Truce Discussion The Irish delegates were aware before they came to London of dis- satisfaction on the part of the British regarding the alleged truce breaches, and they had no intention of unduly PLANES MAY BE USED BY AMUNDSEN IN DASH By the Associated Press. SEATTLE, Wash., October |12.—. Capt. Roald Amundsen, discoverer of the south pole and conquerer of the Northeast passage, will use air- planes In an effort to reach the north pole, if present plans for drifiting past the top of'the world prove impracticable, H. H. Ham- mer, hls representative here, an- nounced yesterday.- Capt.. Amundsen _has already ob- tained the services of two Nor- wegian aviators, who will sail with his ship, the Maud, when it leaves - Seattle next May. to. resume its in- terrupted far-northern trip, “ac- cording to the announcement. The two planes to be used in the ex- pedition” are expected to arrive here early next year. The explorer’s original plans for the expedition, which is operating under the auspices of the Nor- weglan government, called for a five-year drift ‘with the Arctic ice wack. The Maud left Norwny more than two years ago, but last year lost a propeller in the ice off_ the northeastern Siberian coast and was brought to Seattle for repairs. Mr. Hammer said the decision to use planes would not alter Capt. Amundsen’s plans for drifting with the polar ice pack. —_— punishing breaches of ordinary law and adjusting litigation. The Irish delegates have no com- plaints to make of their reception .by the British cabinet members. They entered upon the duties assigned & them by dail eireann with unusually determined looks, Michael Collins being the only one with a smile on his face as he ‘entered and left the conference room. In this he resem- bled Winston Spencer Chutchill, who alone among the British delegates seemed to carry lightly the burden of negotiating. - Arthur Griffith, head of the Irish delegation, does not have the typical Irish fluency of speech, and in both public and private conversation he is a slow speaker. But nobody knows the Sinn Fein case better than he. Great Curiosity Shown. Forelgn office officials and. clerks, who are so accustomed to confer- ences in Downing street that they seldom turn their heads to watch ar- rivals, yesterday had the windows thrown ‘up and were all curiosity. Mr. Collins, a most picturesque fig- ure, was the target of a veritable battery of eyes. The window spec- tators were rewarded for their trouble, because the way in which Mr. Collins avoided ‘photographers was an achievement that few would like to imitate. He jumped from the step of his automobile across the sidewalk, into the hall and opened the door to the premier's residence, and in so doing, he upset the pompous butler dressed in brilliant livery. Messrs. Duggan, Barton and Duffy looked too much like ordinary busi- ness or professional men to attract much attention, so the always grim Griffith and the smiling Collins were picked out for public approval or dis- approval, according to the color of the politics of the observers. The British delegates were too well known to create much excitement, but there are soine who are always cheered by London crowds, among them being Mr. Lloyd George, who, however, did not make an 4ppear. @nce in the streets yesterday, since he was too busy even for his accu tomed walk in the park.

Japan's twenty-one demands on China and the “secret agreements” between Peking and Tokio, if permitted to stand, will block any settlement of far eastern questions at the forth- coming Washington conference, ac- cording ‘to Dr. Sun Yat-sen, leader of the South China .government. - Sun made this assertion. in a statement in which he describes him- self as “‘chief éxecutive of the govern- ment of the Republic of China,” which was given the Associated Press by the Canton information bureau. He charges that China is so shackied by Japanese influence over the Peking administration of Hsu Shih-chang that “all other questions are subor- dinate to this menacing policy.” The Canton leader asserts that to obtain‘China's “release from this pol- S— 4cy of domination China must be rep- Zesented at the conference at Wash- ihgton by a delegation under the di- rection of an administration that is not only the legal government of the republic, but is not committed and is not compromised by its dealings ahd relations with the foreign power pur- suing that policy.” After citing reasons toward prov- ing the unconstitutionality of the Peking government, and further em- phasizing his plea for representation of the Canton regime at the Wash ington conference, Dr. Sun concludes: “Therefore, I, in the name and on behalf of the government and people of the Republic of China, do hereby declare that unless a delegation under the direction of this government at- tends and takes part in the work of the Washington conference, none of the decisions of the conference relat- ing to China will be recognized as possessing any validity or force.” » —_— man took him to Scotland Yard for protection.

He communicated an official message from the British foreign of- fice. Gen. Pershing replied pleasantly, inimizing the misunderstanding. Substantially, he said his part in the presentation of the congressional medal was secondary: that it was a matter to be arranged between the American embassy in London and the British forelgn office, and that he had been sent aver to assist in the cere- mony, which he would be happy to do if a date could be arranged con- sonant with the imperative necessity for his return to the United States in the mear future.
