WONENS PARLEY FEARED AS ‘PN Defense Proponents See Coming Conference as Move to Guide Congress. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Friends of national defense and pre- paredness on land and sea and in the air view with some anxiety the “sec- ond conference on the cause and cure of war,” to open in Washington on December 5. They belleve the meet- ing is timed for the opening of zress and designed to exercise * militaristic” pressure on the House and Senate. During the Winter, as usual, those two bodies will consider and pass the annual appropriations for the Army and Navy. As the “nine national women's organiza- tions” sponsoring the conference favor peace by international arbitra- 1 brotherly love rather than > by preparedness,” authorities faith in dry powder in it, however, camouflaged, a pacifist drive. The announcements of the confer- ence thus far published give a general idea of the subjects to be discussed. Less stress has been lald on the con- ference’s primary purpose.

T am aiready nearly two days at sea. I tore myself away from your shores, from all the friends made there, with more pain and regret than you will ever know. The last day was one rush, with the cruél feeling that much had been left undone, that many invitations had, by force of cir- cumstances. to be left unanswered, that many plans had to be left unful- filled. I had to curtail my visit three precious weeks in which much was still to be undgrtaken and many dear friends were still to be seen. With every hour the great boat is bearing us farther and farther away from the New World baek to the Old. The great rush is suddenly over. The Intense quiet after all the excite- ment feels strange. It is restful, per- haps, but with all my heart I long to k amongst you and I cling to a prediction made to me that I would surely once again at least return to your land of prodigious hospitality. Shall 1?7 That eventuality lies in the hand of God. For the moment I am full of the dear memories I have carried away with me and which I shall cherish as long as I live. My two children and I gather at the round table of our cabin together and talk it all over and discuss each event, each acquaintance. Such dear friends we had to part with all too soon. Recollections Are Happy. Everything seems beautiful to us, even those small unavoidable mo- ments of difficulties dwindling to nothing when looked back upon, as the rain is forgotten to remember only the days of sunshine. We laugh and rejoice and remember and con- fess to each other how much we en- Joyed it all, and how sick with dis- appointment we are that we have to hurry off so much sooner than plan- ned, and each one of us in our own way mourns for a special joy still un- lived. “Oh, and the great foot ball match, mamma!” You know, we were to sit on different sides—Ileana on the Army side and I on the Navy, and each of us was to be surrounded by our special friends. And down in the Southern climes we were to hear the darkies sing and eat a real Southern breakfast. And do you know that I shall miss those policemen hooting along beside us on their motor cycles. Each was like a personal friend. Everything will feel very flat, very small and very empty after colossal America and the colossal . way it has of being kind and hospitable. “Mamma, do say we will go back.” So in their hearts is the same great desire to come back, although we have been gone only such a short time. Can there be a better proof that we were happy than the burning desire to return to be amongst you, once more to be your guests? Expects Home Critlcism. I know that there will be adverse criticism. There will be many who would like to tarnish the remem- brance of our visit; who will try to impress upon Europe’s mind that my going to you was a mistake; that America desires not visits from for: eign royalty; that Europeans had best remain at home. All that, I know, but in my heart I have a part guar- antee that no ill will can destroy, no Jealousy pull to pieces—that pleasure that was given me over there on your sacred soll. Our cabins are full of flowers, fruits, books, packets, parcels, might be Christmas. brought something, sent something, left something. American generosity! Yes, after America all will seem small.

New Measure of Things. ‘You open so many doors, such large roads lie spread out before you, such vistas, such prospects. Yes, for a time everything will feel small and slow and just a little laborious. Your or- ganization of things is so perfected, sometimes it seemed tyranically per- fected, but it was so easy, so imme- diately at hand. There is a glossiness about all you do in America, a lavish- ness of means, a generosity in all things which makes everything com- ing after seem a little stingy, a little cramped. The truth is we are all longing to come back, Nicky, Ileana and I. The life you made us lead may have been fatiguing, but there was something glorious about it, something stimulat- ing like a large storybook full of exciting events. We miss you, dear America, and all our newly made friends, Now I have time to think with a vengeance. You left us little time to think whilst you kept us on the rush. The curious part of it is I am not at all tired. "1 never once during those overfilled weeks had a headache or any bodily weariness. I was only very sleepy sometimes at the end of the day, because I had seen so much, talked so much, made so many acquaintances, heard so many dif- ferent sounds and had had so little time to sleep. Grew to Like Skyscrapers. Now every picture comes back to me hauntingly. The huge New York streets with their mighty vistas, and those famed skyscrapers which I had thought I would hate but which give LS DA such an incomparable grandeur to your city, so unique, so fantastically big, and in contrast those rows and rows of neat little bungalows I _saw on the edges of all your towns. They were set up in tempting rows as if to be chosen one beside the other without either hedge or paling to separate them from each other, and that neatly clipped grass making them look as if they had been stéod on a carpet for minute inspecion by some very particular housekeeper who would allow no disorder in her mansion. And those many motors. That is one of the things I will have to tell Europe about. Those millions of motors, no more a rich man’s luxury, but an everyday convenience, be- longing to every fan's house. And your cities growing and growing, each vieing with the other, each try- ing to outdo its sister in splendor and prosperity. The mighty streets, the mighty houses, everything super- lativa. No wonder you use large adjectives when you talk. I must use them als when talking of you.

HOUSTON, Tex., November 30 (#).— Three officers of the Central Baptist Church resigned yesterday on request becanse they sang at a Houston thea- ter last week. J. B. Moncrief, Sunday school super- intendent; J. D. Moncrief, superintend- ent of the young people’s department, and J. W. Boyd, member of the choir, sang as members of a quartet at a. per- formance of “The Old Homestead.” Rev. W. D. Lierle, pastor, said the three had been asked to resign their official positions because they had neg- lected their church duties to fill a vaudeville engagement. They are still members of the church.

String Quartet to Be Equipped With Stradivari Instruments. NEW YORK,. November 30 (#). —A string quartet organized by wealthy patrons of music is to play two violins, a viola and a cello worth $175,000, made by Antonio Stradivari In the early days of the eighteenth century. Of the thousands of instruments cherished by their owners as the pro- duct of the famous Itallan instru- ment player only about 600 are genuine, experts say. All these are now in museums or in collections of wealthy men, and changes of owner- ship are easily traced. The instruments to be used by the quartet are owned by Felix M.
