One more claimant for the estate of Margaret Easton, the rechise who died in her rocking chair at No, 90 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, a month £0, appeared before Surrogate Win- gate to-day. This was Dorothy Easton Wicks, a nurse in training at the Brooklyn Hospital, She obtained an order directing the administrators of the estate to show cause next Wednes- day why thelr bond should not be increased from $25,000 to $200,000 on the ground that the latter figure more nearly represents the value of the estate, The girl sald her father, the late Harry Wicks, was a nephew of Mra. Kaston, and she wanted to safeguard her inherited interest. She lives at No. 1 Ninth Avenue, East Orange, N. J.

Baron Shidehara, the Japanese Ambassador to United States, and Lord Lee of Fareham, member of the British delegation, are both confined by Ill- ness due to overeating, undersiecp- ing and the strain of trying to kee, 4 up with the social game as played in| Washington during the conference.

The “confeasion” was that Mrs. Faston had burned her hus- band's wil: and kept+ the qstate for herself, but wanted it to go to the girl now, This alleged /will and con- fession" was purported to have been witnessed by John V.

Some Army men tried to swipe the Navy goat, “Rill,” last night from his supposedly sacred quarters on the roof of the Commodore. The aol- diers hoped to go over the top, bring their prisoner to headquarters, and at the crucial moment before the Army- Navy game to-morrow, have Bill dragged onto the Polo Grounds in jthe wake of a triumphant army mule. But the strategy of the Army was not equal to the perspicacity of the Navy, and at tye present time: the Navy is well ahead in points for the week-end festivities. It happened like this: Every one knew that Bill was due to arrive at the Commodore at 9 o'clock yesterday morning with the team. A special suite de luxe had been prepared, and after Bill had been collected’ safely from the Admiral's taxicab, which he occupied from the Pennsylvania Station, he was escort- €4, with excellent interference, to his home. Caviar cans, anchovy tins, bottles which contathed the rarest of rare liquids, greeted him. Last night the word; was passed around that the Army men were snooping around. They took the ele- ‘or and ordered It to go to the roof. ‘the elevator man. who had swabbed not a few decks himself, told the starter, a former C. P. O. By the time the soldiers bad reached the roof, Bill had gone down the service elevator and was contentedly munching a pate de fois gras tin, having the opinion that he had thrown the Army for a loss, and had a clear field ahead, But BILL, THE MIDDIES’ MASCOT, AND THE ARMY MULE IS SAFE It was not to be.

Richard | constitute a nucleus, Instead of leav- Ing the call of the conference to one Executive or one Government, a ,, [Standing committee might be ap- pointed consisting of representatives ‘lof several countries to whom a peti- tion for an international conference vould be made. For the moment the President feels that a meeting every year would be a good idea, but some Provision would have to be made, of course, for the calling of a confer- ence when emergencies developed, and it is for that reason a standing committee has been urged by some of the counselifrs who have laid the matter before Mr. Harding. i It is more than a coincidence, per- haps, that the first Hague Conference was called for the very purpose of limiting armaments, but Germany was unwilling to agree to a reduction or limitation. The first Hague Con- ference of 1899 was more or less ex- perimental, only twenty-six Govern- ments being represented. The second conference, in 1907, found forty-four states represented, and definite rules of international law were drawn up, which, unfortunately, were disre- garded by many of these powers when the war of 1914 broke out. Far from attempting to creute a rival of the League of Nations, Mr. Harding’s idea is that the latter body | is essentially an institution for th enforcement of the Treaty of Ver sailles, and as such has a peculiarly valuable function which affects the peace of Europe and indirectly th Deace'of the world. But since the Versailles League is sv closely inter, woven with penalties growing out of a war, Mr. Harding believes that nations which did not participate in the last war should enter a new con- ference free from any previous con- nection with European disputes. The feeling among the President's ad- visers is that the League of Nations should be perpetuated for the benefit of Europe, but ite influence wil! always be regional, while the calling pe & conference as a sequel to the Hague Conferences will be world- wide and absolutely divorced from any particular group of nations or their interests. Mr Roo: has the idea that mo ments for’ international co-operatioa are necessarily slow and cannot pr?- ceed too rapidly because they depend for success on universal agreement. Some critics of the League of Nation: in the present Administration contend that it tried to accomplish too much. The President is represented .s anxious to take up the task of Inter: national co-operation where it was broken in 1914, Now that Germany has been disarmed, no objection is an- ticipated from that quarter, Indeed, Mr. Harding wants Germany to be invited to the next conference. The President feels, moreover, that when the question of armaments Is settlel jn Washington, the main ol cle *A International co-operation will have been removed. Expecting success ot armament limitation, the United States Government will take the ‘eadership in bringing about not aa international legislature with an up: per and lower house like the Council and the Assembly of the 6, but simply international conferences which shail be in the nature of “gst together” meetings among the nations of the earth. ae LOAN UNPAID, CHICAGO BANKER LEAVES CHINA | 73" THE POWERS ON HIS ASSOCIATION PROPOSAL Savings Company of Chicago, who came here as a result of the Chinese foevernment’s default on a loan of $5,500,000, will leave for the United States to-morrow.

Far Eastern Committee in Confer- ence Agrees “in Principle’’ to Their Abolition. WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 (Associ- ated Press).—Withdrawal of foreign Post Offices in China -was informally agreed to “in principle’ to-day by the Far Eastern Committee of the Washington Conference, and a reso- ,lution to that effect will be drafted by a sub-committee authorized to work out details of the plan. The informal agreement was not final, but the sub-committee dealing with it will be guided by the general expressions favorable to that end. At the request, of Mf. Viviani of the French delegation, the sub-committee to deal with foreign Post Offices was called to meet later in the day. A meeting of the sidering extra territorial rights in China was called for 10 o'clock Mon- day. It Is the intention to have reso- luticns dealing both with the extra territorial rights and Post Office mat- ters ready for another meeting of the full committee on Far Eastern affairs Monday at 11 o'clock.
