The me delfghtful for- anality which reigned at the opening of the arms conference ftained last evening. the Secretary of tate and Mrs. Hughes receiving their gKuests alone, standing just inside the east door of the hall of the Americas, while the guests of honor arrived all during the evening, some of them coming quite late from dinner parti Most Brilliant Scen i s neter before in Washing- resented at a single !nlerulxlmen{: the varied uniforms of the military and naval attaches of embassies and Jegations, with the searlet coats of the Brit and the dress uniforms of the Army, Na and Marine Corps of- ficers present, all lending to the spec- tacular effect of the reception. Strongly suggestive of the confer- ence were the nine marines stationed in the entrance corridor of the build- ing, each bearing a huge silk flag, the whole number representing the nine countries at the conference. The; are the beautiful emblems used at the opening of the conference and in the White House at the dinner and reception given by the President and Mrs. Harding Saturday evening and will be used at all meetings of the delegates, as well as at all formal social affairs. Musie by Two Bands. Two bands furnished music during the evening, an orchestra beinx sta- ‘ tioned in the Hall of the Americas and another in the right gallery anove the entrance hall, playing n!lerna(v.;:-'i e . ly.

Guests like Mr. Balfour., who ar- rived with a group of delegates and dipiomats. immediately mixed with the throng which preceeded them. The arrival of the ambassador of France and Mme. Jusserand im- mediately brought around them the members of the French delegation, while the coming of the ambassador of Great Britain and Lady Geddes had the same effect. Lieut. Gen. Giuseppe Vaccari, chigf of staff of the Italian army and Head of the military mission to the cafifers ence. arrived early with his entire staff, their splendid uniforms making them at once the center for all e Other military and naval men at- tached to the delegation also arrived in groups, many officers of the United States Army and Navy being near the Saturdsy .ob- | [SIOUX.RIDER AND POET, DEAF AND:-DUMB, PENS - DISARMAMENT VIEWS h of steel, .30 shot and shell, > iy earth where' suldler fell, No roaring cannons eust or west, No six guns hid 'neatlr coat or vest, | Fewer louely graves in fleld'end gien, Fewer wounded, helpless\yousg men. | More happy men to reap’ »ow,” i More iron and steel for and twe, It that the nations all seerm bent, Does conze- to: pass—Disernmment!
