Various sub-committees are scheduled to meet tomorrow and the full confer- ence Is to reassemble Tuesday. While some of the committees have practically decided updn their recommendations for permanent measures, it is the opinion of conference officials that at least a week will be occupied in the studv of the country’s economic problems bhefore ac- tion is taken upon the complete pro- gramme, Upon reconvening the sub-committees are to recefve a renort from the execu- tive secretaries setting forth the pro- gress made toward relief of the unem- ployment situation under the emergen- cy measures adonted by the conference.

The United States Chamber of Commerce. tional Manufacturers’ associaati rious regional and state associations have actively entered into the problem of or- ganization and prov! the pal authorities.

ACTION OF STUDENTS FOR LIMITATION OF ARMAMENTS Princeton, N. J., Oct. 9.—The students 6f more than one hundred leading univer- sities and colleges in the eastern states have been invited by the senior council of Princeton to send delegates ‘here on Oct. 26 for a conference to devise means of solidifying the young men of the na- tion in a movement for the international limitdtion of armaments as a means of ending the danger of new wars. Announcement of this action was made tonight and is the first step toward ef- fecting a national organization of under- graduates pledged to support the confer- ence on the limitation of armaments in Washington as suggested by President John Grier Hibben of Princeton in his matriculation sermon a week ago. In its fermal invitation to the confer- ence the senior council said it hoped such simultaneous action by the young manhood of the nation would awake the country to the necessity of insuring the success of the Washington conference by general demand for cessation of the international armaments race. Each of the colleges and universities selected to participate has been asked to elect two delegates as representatives of the undergraduate body solely. They will be received on the morning of Oct 26. = The- conference will open with a meet- ing which is to be addressed by men of both national and international promi- nence. At this meeting a resolution will be introduced expressing to the govern- ment the sympathy of the American in- stitutions of higher education in the pur- poses of the disarmament conference and prayerful supplication for its successful conclusion. The evening will be devoted to a general mass meeting at which more prominent men will speak. “The recent war has conclusively demd onstrated that future war is an unthink- able calamity, amounting to race sui- cide,” said the council's invitation, “It was called ‘a war to establish peace.’ But experience has taught us that peace is a fantasy so long as nations devote ener- gles and uncounted millions to arming themselves for war. The race for mili- tary and naval supremacy always ends in conflict. A mere glance at the economic and social confusion of the world is evi- dence that ‘energy and money must be his appoint ulation. His name is unknown in Irish politics and he is the only one connected fon of work for the istance to the state “The government of the United States appreciating these facts, has invited the powers to meet in conference ‘on Armis tice day, to search for a basis of agree- ment through which these lessons maj be practically applied. “Thére has been considerable cynical pessimism as to the success of the ven- ture. But, whatever the outcome. if mustbe recognized as a step in the right direction. Intelligent public oplnior should add its bit of encouragement by expressing its approval of this step.” The tation concluded with an ex: pression of hope that the public would b aroused by simultaneous action by colr lege men. IRISH PEACE DELEGATES SPENT SUNDAY IN LONDON London, Oct 9—(By the A. P.)—The ish peace delegates spent quiet Sunday in London, the delegates dividing their time between the various churches. A third secretary has been added te the delegation. He is John Chartres, and ent has provoked much spec- with the delegation who is not a mem- ber of the Dail Eireann and any other representative bady. He is the grandson of Richard Chartres of Dublin, his fath- er being the late Sergeant Major Chartres of the eighth hussars. He married the Italian Poetress Annie Vivanti. His accession to the Irish delegation i taken as indicating that the Sinn Fein engaging all expert advice possible, as Ars. Chartres is an expbert in several branches of law and has served in the int. ence section of the British war office. Others invited to assist the delegation, although not Sinn Feiners, are Dr. George O'Eri torian and economist, and Georze Russell, of the Irish Hom: stead and a former official of the British local government board, to handie the in- tricate questions of local government. The chief risk to a settlement now is believed to be in Ireland, rather than in the conference chambers. Both sides al lege that breaches of the truce have re- cently multiplied. Dubin castle claims to e a list of €600 such breaches, while Sinn Fein liaison officers have issued a list of 600 such breaches, while Sinn Fein liaison officers have issued numerous in- stances of alleged agzression..by..police; auxiliaries and sofdiers. To carry arms is a breach of the truce, but to drill troops is not; neither is the transfer of troops, and each side has an- red the others complaint by saying t they .were only training or moving troops. The appointment to the London delegation of Eamonn JI. Duggan, who since the truce has acfed as chief liaison officer, removes from Ireland a man whose great discretion helped to the avoidance of trouble. His successor, Murphy has had less experience. This question of breaches of the truce probably will be the first subject taken up by the conference, which meets at 11 o'clock Tuesday morning at the prime minister’s official residence, in Down- ing street to discuss procedure. ‘Another danger some anticipate is thag if the in- terned Irishmen are released®there will be celebrations " throughout the counmtry, which might cause clashes ebtween the people and the crown forces. TRACING LIQUOR STOLEN FROM COUNTRY HOME Washington, Oct. 9.—Washington po- lice were co-operating today with Vir- ginia authorities and private detectives in an effort to trace wines® and liquors, said to be worth $300,000, which were stolen from the country home, near here, ph Leitsr, financier. The theft, ago, and the authorities have been quietly working on the case since, apparently without results. Police here said they believed it was the largest theft of a private stock of liquors since prohibition went into effect. Using an acetylene torch, the robbers, during the absence of the estate cares taker, bored through the three-inch steel doors of the wine cellar.
