A4 DELEGATES COLD T0 HINT TO LEAVE Suggestion of Senator Mc- Kellar Held as Falling Upon Deaf Ears. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE, Staff Correspondent of The Star. By Radio to The Star. LONDON, March 1.—Senator Mc-' Kellar's invitation to the American delegation to come home and call it quits | at the Naval Conference falls on deaf | ears. Even the Tennessean's “official | leader on Capitol Hill,” Senator Robin- | son of Arkansas, shares the views that no occasion whatever exists for throw- ing up the sponge in any spirit of de- feat. Secretary Stimson and his as- soclates reaffirm at the end of six weeks in London that they are enlisted for the full duration of this peaceful war, no matter how long it lasts. If the white flag is hoisted it will have to be from some other quarter than the American delegation’s. This remains perhaps the most positive factor in an otherwise negative situation. ‘The British position is almost as tenacious. The Japanese attitude is virtually, though somewhat less en- thusiastically, the same. Altogether the determination of the three leading naval powers is such that none of them is ready to countenance the fear that the conference doom is} sealed. All of them, owing to the time | lost through the French political crisis, have had to revise their estimate of the probable date when the parley will end. | The last week in March is now the | popular guess. Otherwise it can be| stated with complete candor that the confidence in some kind of a substantial | treaty is unimpaired. This coming week sl d stimulate or undermine that confidence.

Uncle Sam’'s Navy sizzles with real activity, unmindful of the negotiations in London to limit future naval con- struction.

The fleet concentration in southern waters is being carried out just as if there were no conference. With one fleet pitted against the other, flanked by the most modern arm of naval war- fare—the airplane—these maneuvers actually simulate major naval engage- ments as they would occur today.

LONDON, March 1.—With the Naval Conference in the midst of its sixth week the seven members of the Ameri- can delegation were busy today esti- mating their personal expenditures at the parley aside from the money al- lotted by the Government. The congressional allotment of $200,000, which was first given to the delegates, is being spent at a rate of almost $3,000 daily. Stimson Heads List. Secretary of State Stimson probab, will be the delegate hardest hit by th’e’ conference in the matter of personal expenses. His greatest burden is War- ren House, the country estate he took at Stanmore, a village north of London. In the opinion of his intim: the place already has paid large di ds, because it has not only provided a re- treat for Mr. Stimson and the other delegates, but a rest for the advisers and week end guests. It the conference lasts three months it is unofficially estimated that Secre- tary Stimson's personal expenditures will amount to $30,000 or $40,000. So far he has entertained more than 300 guests at Stanmore, inviting a dif- ferent p each week for golf, tennis or luncheon. One of his heaviest items of exptnditure is automobile hire. Though an official automobile was shipped from Washington for his use at the conference, Mr. Stimson is per- sonally paying for the chauffeur and the gasoline. Two Hire Machines. Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow, Sen- ator Reed and Secretary of the Navy Adams, who did not wish to use the official delegation automobile for un- official trips, have personally _hired their own cars for the duration of the conference, paying not only for chauf- feurs and gasoline but for the rental. Another expense that is running high for the delegates is that of rooms at the Ritz Hotel for their families.

Benjamin O. Davis, U. 8. Cavalry, recently promoted, is the only com- missioned officer of the Negro race now on the active list of the Army, outside of the Corps of Chaplains. He is the second colored man to have reached the grade of colonel. His only predeces- sor was Col. Charles Young of Ohio, who was graduated at the United States Military Academy in 1899, died in Liberia in 1922 and was buried in the Arlington National Cemetery. Col. Davis was born in this city July Colored High School. He was the son of the late Louls Davis, for 40 years a messenger in the Interior Department. His mother resides at 1830 Eleventh street. In his school days, young Davis was & captain in the Color High School Cadet Corps and began his real military service with the Army as a first lieutenant, 8th U. 8. Volunteer Infantry in the Spanish-American War of 1898. In June, 1899, he enlisted in the 9th U. 8. Cavalry and has been at- gc:aflu to that bnncnho(“u& service late, passing through all the inter- mediate grades in succession to his present rank of colonel. During World War he was a lieutenant colonel in the lonal Army. All his field service was in the Oavalry arm in the Philippines, Mexico and in the Western and Southwestern States. Several years g0 he served as United States military attache at Monrovia, Liberia; as mili- tary instructor in the Ohio National Guard, and as an instructor at the Wil- berforce University, Ohio, where he is at present.
