added.
Miss Stark and her roommate,

their home in the Carter Lake dis
trict, and for his young son, a student
in Central High school.

demning the expenditure of $ 195,

Newberry was "the epitaph of
decency. Reed declared. He

grading, stupid and idiotic."

fly (Is wli,4 frra,
Washington! Jan. The ground
work for another inttriuii1.iul con.
ference to rewrite the laws of war
(or the submarine and gtlirr gcn
tics of stuck on kind and sea was
completed yesterday by luc arm del
egates. Under a resolution adopted by the
armament committee, preparation
for the new conference will begin
immediately upon conclusion of the
WaOiinKton nrBotiatmn, The Unit
ed States. Great Untain, Japan,
Trance and Italy will be represented
and the American government will
select the exact time and place ol
mertitiB,
The first step 'toward revision of
warfare regulations u to be taken
by a '"commission," presumably
composed of international Um ex
perts without plenipotentiary pow
ers, out tne resolution provides init
after they have agreed the five gov
ernments shall "confer as to the ac
ceptance of the- report and the
course to be followed to secure the
consideration of its recommenda
tions by the other civilized pow
ers." It is taken for granted that ques
tions of national policy as well as
legal considerations will enter into
the final decisions and that the
whole submarine problem will be
reopened. The armament committee
adopted the resolution at a short
meeting while most of the other ac
tivities of the conference were w'ait
ing on a decision of the Shantung
controversy.
Settlement Near.
The Shantung negotiations still
hesitated just short of an agreement,
but the feeling seemed to be univer
sal that a day or two probably
would see a complete acceptance of
the plan supported -by President
Harding.
In leaving new rules of warfare
to a later conference, the armament
committee carried out the- recom
mendations of a subcommittee of ex
perts who spent several weeks con
sidering the subject. The resolution
was drafted by another subcommit
tee, headed by Elihu Root, and is
as follows:
