GATHERS COURAGE FOR DISRNANET Longae Oficials Approach fssue With Costion Geneva, Jan. 3§ (M—League of- ficials approach the ftnevitable plunge into the frosty issue of dis- armament with caution and consid- erable uneasiness, An examination of facts available at this time indicates . the great naval powers, particul England and America, are still some distance from agresment on the types of warships subjects to limitation, Many Legague officials hesitated about summoning the preparatory disarmament commission, but now that & meeting has been fixed for April 15 they hope that some kind “of an sgreement can be reached in private which will serve as a basis for - discussion, ¢ The United States government is expected to adhere to the view- point that 1if cruisers and subma- rines are subject to limitation there should be no- discrimination as to tonnage. In other words, all cruis- crs and submarines, large or small, should be affected by any reduction. Soviet . Ruasia has been promised a digcussion of her project of par- tial “disarmament. Then there is the question of publicity of arma- ments, which is expected to take up enough time to pustify, with th Soviet proposal, the convocation of the meeting. The pdan is to call & second _ session of the commission in the late summer. In the economic field the League in 1929 is expected to have pne of its biggest years, Thers are mno fewer than 40 meetings scheduled of various commissions and com- mittee, including six on economics and finance, the inauguration of the study of the causes of the crisis in the sugar and coal industries and & preliminary conference to deter- mine the cause of the fluctuations in the purchasing power of gold. All these meetings grow out of the international economig conference held at Geneva several years ago and embody a policy of securing the fulfillment in particular concrete directions of the principle of eco- nomic reconstruction laid down at that {international conference. But the year's program of the League does not atop there. In April will come an fnternational conference for the adoption of a treaty to suppress counterfeiting, This will take the form of the agreement upou a common system of fighting counterfeiters of cur- rency wherever in the world they may seek to launch their criminal designs and a common method of punishment. A system for the col- lection of international information about the movements of counter- feiters forms part of this League project in the same sense that the banking interests of the United States have a system of exchange of {information for the detection of bank frauds. ‘Women are constantly taking & bigger place in international life. One manitestation of this growing activity of women may be afforded at an international conference for the codification of international law which will be held at the Hague some time during the year. The nationality and the necessity of determining just what conditions maké a man a Frenchman or & Spaniard or an American when his parents have been born {n some other land. Women often lose their nationality marriage, and that is why women's associations, under the leadership of Miss Doris Ste- vens of New York, have insisted upon the right to have women ap- pointed as plenipotentiaries to the forthcoming conference. By a res- olution adopted at the last assem- bly of the League all governments have been invited to designate at least one woman in making up their delegations. . \ Queen Mary Great Help to King George London, Jan. 25 (M—The great lelp that Queen Mary was in nurs- ing King George back toward health This help came when the king's eaith was at its lowest ebb and the mere act of swallowing was loath- some to him—a period known to kave caused intense anxiety to his physicians and nurses. Newspapers today said that now that her persuasions no longer were needed the queen, who is a skilled cook, ‘still was taking a close inter- est in the preparation of her hus- band's food. She herself arranged and eften carried to his bedside various tempting dishes. The basis of these dishes has been mainly eggs and fish, National Gallery Has Ellen Terry Portraits Londonm, Jan. 2§ (M—Two por- traits of Ellen Terry which were sold at Christie's recently are to be preserved for posterity in the Na- tional Portrait Gallery. ‘The trustees announce that they have been acquired for the nation through the generosity of donors who wish to remain anonymous. One of the portraits is John Sar- gent's monochrome in ofils of Writ- ain's famous actress as Lady Mac- | beth, It is the study which gave ! Sargent inspiration for the picture which already hangs in the Nation- al Gallery. The other is a sensi- tive painting of the beloved Kllen at the age of 18, by O. F. Watts, ‘who became her first husba.nd.

Miss Susan Lawrence, a laborite, usually appears in the house witl As a bill was under dis- cussion she rose to speak. There were immediate shouts of “order. She looked around rather help- leasly, wondering what all the noise Then she tried again. “Hat! Hat!” came cries from all over the chamber, speaking. mingled with roars of laughter, hat out of paper. Holding it on her head with one hand, Miss Law- rence again attempted to speak. In the excitement and la: » the jm. provised bit of millinery fell to the floor. Again there were roars of “Order! *“Order!"” and “Hat! Hat!” Labor members grabbed the pa- per hat and once more placed it on Miss Lawrence's head. 8he resolute- ly banged it flat and held it there. The deputy chairman amid laugh- ter now declined to recognize the paper millinery as legitimate Bead covering. Another labor member of- fered Miss Lawrence a man's black ihat.
