JAPAN AGREES TO AGENDA OF ARMS PARLEY

Labinet Decides to Accept American Suggestions on Subjects to Be Discussed Delegation is Reaay. notableswTll come (By Associated Press) TOKIO, Oct. 1 The Japanese cabinet, after lengthy deliberation yesterday, decided in principle, according to the Asahi Shimbun, to accept the American suggestions as to the agenda for the Wa8htagt01l conference on lim itation of armaments and far eastern questions. Prince Iyesato Tokugawa and viceAdmiral Kato, minister of marine, will sail for the United States on board the liner Kashima Maru to take part in the conference on the limitation of armaments and far eastern questions in Washington. Baron Kanda and Tsunetada Kato, 1 former minister to Belgium, both members of the house of peers, will accompany Prince Tokugawa as personal advisers. Prince Tokugawa's son, Iyemasa Tokugawa, has arrived from Peking, where he was secretary at the Japanese legation and will accompany his father across the Pacific, being en route to London to which city he has been transferred. It is probable he will visit Washington en route. Realizes Responsibility Prince Tokugawa, who will act as head of the Japanese delegation at the Washington conference, has issued a statement to the press in which he says he realizes the grave responsibility placed on him, but wishes to assure the people he will do his best in the cause of the empire. The prince remarks he is "aware of his shortcomings, but ready to listen with gratitude to any criticism" in the hope of learning lessons he ought to learn, j Newspapers here continue to refer at length to the selection of Prince Tokugausa as head of the delegation, and . America's relations with the.' Shogunate in opening of Japan to western civilization. They point out the prince's ability as a statesman and diplomat is untried, but declare their belief that his peaceful disposition will make itself felt in the armament conference. The Kokomiu - Shimbun speaks of In-bthe 6trange destlny ,-evealed in the eppointment in that a descendant of one of the Shoguns, whose policy of seclusion retarded the beginning of Japan.s international development, is now accorded a historic opportunity to con tribute to the development of the empire, including practical matters affecting the race, population and national resources.

On Armistice day, Nov. 11. she will distribute in Washington 5,000 hand bills, entitled: The Messenger of the Goddess of Peace."

Important results are being obtained from the agricultural credit arrangement made possible by the extended powers of the finance corporation, Eugene Meyer, managing director of the corporation said today upon his return from a three weeks' tour which took him to the west coastDirector Meyer said he was con vinced that the agricultural industry. particularly that of live stock, had suffered from lack of adequate financing and felt certain that the government credit, now available, would establish the needed financial backing. It would act basically, according to the corporation head to save the feeding and breeding herds of the nation. Mr. Meyer said he found agricultural conditions far from satisfactory, but added that he had spread generally the advice to begin the buying and feeding ot cattle. Banks appeared ready to begin the needed financing with the help of the corporation he said, adding that the flood of unfinished cattle now going onto the market soon would begin to show a decline. 4 10,252 G.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS BRIGHTER IN INDIANA SAYS LABOR REPORT PALLIDUM SEWS BlRBtl' WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. The current report on the industrial situation in Indiana by the employment service of the department of labor indicates that the low ebb of employment in that state has been passed and that business conditions are brightening. "Indiana seems to be holding her own pretty steadily," the report read?, "and though indications do not warrant the feeling that conditions will be very bright for the balance of the year, general sentiment appears more optimistic and encouraging. "Retail buying is still very conservative," the report concludes, "and in many sections sales have been falling off since July. The farmer has been doing very little buying." The employment service's current report for Ohio reads: 'Railroad repairs have dispiaya in tieoCTi in foundries and there have been other lines, while increased inquiries! for steel quotations. Plans and fications for structural work which have been laid away are now coming to light for figures and estimates. Pottery Is on a B0 per cent basis. Reluctance of the public to buy is still apparent. Reducel clothing prices have failed to stimulate sales. Optimism seems quite general." The house of representatives will get back on the job Monday. Since Sept. 21, when the one-month congressional vacation expired, the house has been holding three-day period recesses. The house is well advanced with its work. On the other hand, the always slow moving senate has found it necessary to hold night sessions of late in an effort to carry out its legislative program. Under the provisions of a bill Representative Herrick, of Oklahoma, has just introduced, it would be unlawful to hold any pageant, carnival, celebration, exposition, theatrical or vaudeville show where any person would impersonate a king or queer, or do anything to keep prominently before the minds of the public the idea of kingcraft or royalty in a laudatory manner. Herrick is also the author of a bill which would prohibit news papers from conducting beauty contests. It has been charged that he conducted a beauty contest of his own and received a number of letters from young women. He stated that he did this tn seenrp tpttera tn Via usari in j support of his bill. In preaching the doctrine of curtailment of governmental expenditures, the president is setting an example to the heads of the various departments and bureaus. According to a report issued by the treasury department the actual expenses of the chief executive's offices for July and Auguse, this year, were $91,803 less than for the corresponding months last year. To maintain the office of president of the United States, the world's most powerful nation, now costs each individual in this country two and one-nair mills per annum.

Increases granted by the bituminous coal commission, appointed by former President Wilson after the 1919 strike, were not as large as asked by the miners, who then also demanded a six hour day and five day week.

Advisory Board

WAYNE ROAD WORK ATTRACTS ATTENTION OF MARION COUNTY That Wayne county has not only the latest, but the most practical equipment in the. way of road building machinery, is evidenced by the fact that the road superintendent and board of commissioners of Marion j UUUIUjr will vuilits uric iltTAl. lauioua; to inspect the Wajne county equip ment. Marion is the largest county in the state, and presumably one of the most progressive. "Every piece of machinery pur-i chased for road building purposes by this county must pay Its own way," said Wr. O. Jones, county highway superintendent, Saturday. At the present time, three separate jobs are being done on roads by the county, according to Surveyor Howard Horton. They are: the Foreman road, starting at Fifth and South E streets and running east to the Henley road, a distance of about two miles; the Sell road, running on Fifth street, street, Easthaven avenue, through the asylum grounds and back on Indiana avenue, formerly known ns Asjlutn avenna"; and the Davis bridge south of Green's Fork. Road Almost Completed The Foreman road will be completed in 10 or 11 more working days, according to Surveyor Horton. Work on the road has been suspended for the past week because of the lack of a finishing board. This will be supplied within a day or so, however. The builders have set a record on this road, having laid one mile of concrete paving in 88 working hours. Up to the minute equipment helped set this mark. Approximately 12 working days will be required to complete the Sell road. Because of the irregular weather conditions at this time of year, "working days" are less frequent than during thfi summer. In Knitp rtf this fart all I pending road work will be completed ' u''e u,' 11 Js saia' . . . - . The Davis bridge, south of Green's Fork, will be completed Wednesday.

IGK. REPLY RINGS HOPE TO ENGLAND De Valera Answer Leaves Country Expectant that Settlement Will Follow Conference Oct. 11. jPROSPECT IS BRIGHT (By Associated Press) LONDON, Oct. 1. England was today filled with hope that a settlement of the Irish problem would follow the meeting of British cabinet members and the representatives of Sinn Fein Ireland in this city on Oct. 11. The prompt reply from Eamon De Valera accepting Prime Minister IJoyd George's invitation to the conference and the conciliatory tone of the latest exchanges between London and Dub lin seemed to promise that out of the conference would come an agreement which would solve a problem which has proved a stumbling block for the ablest statesmen of the British nation. Seldom since the fateful day In 1155, when King Henry II claimed, through Rome, possession of Ireland, had the prospect for peace between England, the people of that isle appeared brighter. It has been one of the curiosities ot history that Nicholas Breakspear, the mendicant scholar who became Adrian IV, the only English Pontiff whose reign as the Holy See was one of the most remarkable in the aDnals of the church, should have been associated . by Chroniclers with the beginning of a controversy which lias kept his native land embroiled for 766 years. Prospect is Bright. London newspaers today did not assume that a settlement was certain, and they recognized the way to peace might be long and difficult but hope abounded, even if complete confidence was lacking. Prime Minister Lloyd George received praise in some quarters for his skill and patience in handling the troublesome preliminaries, and there was hope expressed that his ability ,ia negotiations would be equal to the task of reconciliation. Discussing the difficulties ahead the Ixndon Times deprecated the "dominion status" as a fixed formula to which the agreement must conform. i ue nsgct'itiono tit? newspaper declared, "have already disclosed that inasmuch as the idealism of the Sinn Fein is, above all else, racial in character, the ultimate settlement must be something new a constitutional innovation of its own kind. Both the government and the Sinn Fein should see before them as they go a new relationship differing from all their past experiences," See Big Step. The Daily Chronicle, which la regarded as very near, Mr. Lloyd George said the agreement to enter the conference was a very big step because it presupposed a wish on both sides to reach a settlement. "But we must not delude ourselves in supposing the difficulties are all overcome," the newspaper continued. "The task may not be easy. Under no circumstances can the government give way on the essential condition that Ireland remain in association with the empire." HARDING TO WATCH MARINE MANEUVERS (By Associated Preas) WASHINGTON, Oct 1.

The president, on arriving at the scene of the maneuvers,- will join the group of government officials, members of congress, and army, navy and marine corps officers who have been observing the maneuvers which enter their final phase today with the reenactment of the battle of Chancellorsville. Tomorrow morning he will review the more than 5,000 troops making up the expeditionary force. In addition to Mrs. Harding, the president's party, which made the trip in automobiles, included Secretary of the Navy Denby; Secretary of Agriculture Wrallace; Brigadier General Sawyer, the president's physician, and Mrs. Sawyer, and Secretary and Mrs. j Christian.
