STIMSON STUDIES NAVAL QUESTIONS Secretary of State Gathers All Data Possible for Con- ference in London. Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of State, | who will be chairman of the American | delegation at the forthcoming London | Naval Disarmament Conference, is pre- | paring well in advance for the difficuit | task that awaits him late in January, he disclosed yesterday at the State De- | partment. Responding to questions propounded | at a press conference, Secretary Stim- | son revealed he had been in daily con- ference with members of the general Navy board for some time, and prob- | ably would continue until time for his | departure for London. The presence of the naval officers at the State Department at first gave rise to rumors that the visiting officers were all to be experts attached to the Amer- ican mission. Secretary Stimson quickiy put this rumor to rest by explaining the Teal reason for their visits, adding that | other reports were unfounded at this time. Particular interest was raised when | Rear Admiral Hilary P. Jones, a_mem- ber of the American mission at the tri- partite conference of 1927 and a fre- quent adviser to President Hoover dur- ing the preliminary Anglo-American conversations, and Rear Admiral Wil- liam V. Pratt, commander-in-chief of the battle fleet, appeared among others. It had been known for some timc that Admiral Jones and Admiral Pratt | would head the naval advisory commut- tee to the delegation. The presence of other officers with them at the State Department immediately gave rise to reports that the United States was to have an exceptionally large complement * of naval experts to advise the stat Many members of the Junior League and other volunt eers make dressings for the Visiting Nur: f each week.

Guillemet was one of the first white men to settle in Morocco, and he states that when he first went to that country in 1912 it was necessary to wear the native dress in order to go about in safety. “Now,” smiled Senor Caballeroy, at a query as to whether there was not still a certain amount of danger out-| side of the cities from native tribesmen, “I would go anywhere in the country alone with a large amount of money on me and feel that I was as safe as I would be on the boulevards of Paris.” Senor Caballeroy and M.

AT RECORD TOTAL Red Cross Reports Aid Ex- tended in 117 Catas- trophies in Year. Disasters in_this country during the year ending June 30 were greater in number than in any previous year since the organization of the American Red Cross, John Barton Payne, chairman, announced yesterday. The organization aided in relief work | incidental to 117 catastrophes in the United States, three in its insular possessions and 11 in foreign nations. Expenditures in the United States and | insular possessions totaled $8,020,000. | The American Red Cross spent $76,300 !in relieving distress in foreign nations where earthquakes, floods and other | problems caused appeals to be made through the League of Red Cross Societies. Seven-Year Expenditures. Disaster relief expenditures of the | Red Cross during the past seven years have aggregated $53,800,000. Of this | sum. $6,550,000 was contributed from | the organization's treasury.
