Ability to stand the strain of work is the privilege of the strong and healthy, but how our hearts ache for the weak and sickly women struggling with their daily rounds of household duties, with backaches, headaches, nervousness and almost every movement brings a new pain.

NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS; Delegates and Agenda for the Armament Conference Are Being Determined. FOUR SELECTED FO3 AMERICA Secretary Hughes Suggests Topics for Discussion—League of Nations Elects Moore Judge of International Court — Senate Completes Its Draft of Tax Bill. — Preliminary work on the conference I on limitation of armaments and Far i i Eastern problems is going on steadily, i ' and before long it will be known just J ■ who will take part in the meeting, and । in a general way what they will dis- , ' cuss. The several nations concerned : i are selecting their representatives, ■ those for the United States being the first to be announced. President Har- , ding has appointed for that high duty ; Secretary of State Hughes, Senator i Henry Cabot Lodge. Elihu Root and I Senator Oscar W. Underwood —three Republicans and one Democrat. As Premier Hara will be unable to come, Admiral Baron Kato has been selected to head the Japanese delegation, and Ambassador to the United States Shidchara will also be a member. It 4g sty’ ' ’eved Premier Lloyd George ‘will “^British ^:ontlngenL and it is likely that his associates will be Andrew Bonar Law, Secretary for War Evans and Lord Lee of Fareham, first lord of the admiralty. The British dominions, especially Australia, New Zealand and Canada, have been strenuously arguing their right to representation in the conference in view of their great Interst in matters concerning the Pacific and Far East, and ft is believed that some of their leading statesmen will be asked to attend in the capacity of advisers. Two more nations have been added ' to the list of those invited to the conference. With the consent of five prin- ■ cipal powers Holland and Belgium will participate in the proceedings in- ' sofar as their interests in the Far [ East are coneerned. Their status thus ! will be the same as that of China, for ; it is not to be supposed they will take part in the discussion on armaments. Diplomatic conversations and infori mal exchanges between the govern- ! J ments concerned have progressed so | I far that Secretary Hushes has been able to send to the other four great i powers and to China a suggested out- 1 line of the topics for the conference. ' i This proposed agenda has not be»*n made public, pending its acceptance by the other governments, but is believed to include, aside from limitation of ; armaments, these suggestions: Territorial integrity of Russia, the ■ i open door, and equal opportunity for ! economic activities, the powers acting , as trustees until Russia shall have re- I covered and set up a central, represen- j j tative government. Territorial Integrity of China and ! . the “open door.” I The substitution of international co- I , operation for the past practice of seeking selfish, monopolistic advantages in । £hina. Assistance to China in achieving ad- I ' ministrative, fiscal and judicial re- I j forms. A Tokyo newspaper says Mr. Hughes ' also includes In his suggestions man- ; ; dates if they have not boen previously ■ | settled, and Manchuria and the Chi- ! nese Eastern railway. That question I ■ of mandates—meaning in this case esI pecially Yap—is causing the Japanese a lot of worry. They don't want it I brought up in the conference and are j doing their utmost to get it settled before the Washington meet opens. Their ; continued occupation of Shantung is another matter they desired to keep out of the conference, but in this they - ' - di - • : ■ 'I.

Jhas refused Japan's proposition, fear-i j ing that it would be overthrown if it j I accepted. Some of the leaders in that I government have long been suspected of being pro Japanese. An interesting । l report in Washington is that Robert ; i Lansing, former se -retary of state un- I der President Wilson, will be an ad- I viser to the Chinese delegation. The assembly of the League of Nations continues to function, in disregard of the assertions of various personages that the league is virtually dead. Parenthetically, it may be said that the treaty of Versailles guarantees the league’s life for 30 years for the purposes of administering tin- Saar | basin ami the control of Danzig. The chief ac<‘omplishment of the assembly iast week was the election of judges of the international court of justice. Elihu Root having declined, for per- j sonal reasons, to be a candidate, the Latin-American group brought about the election of John Bassett Moore of I New York. He and ten others were } accepted by the council. Three deputy j judges also were elected and conI firmed, but there was trouble over the choice of the fourth deputy. Three times the assembly elected Senor Alvtirez of Chile, and three times the council voted for M. Descamps of Belgium. At last the deadlock was referred to a committee. Senor Amador of Panama threatened to withdraw his 1 delegation if Alvarez was not accepted by the council. The question of the league's competence to judge the Tacna-Arica dispute ami the Chile-Bolivia treaty was referred to a committee of three Jurists. Senor Edwards of Chile stated that he was not prepared to admit that the league, was licensed to intrude purely South American affairs in violation of the Monroe doctrine. Senor Aramayo of Bolivia, having received new instructions from La Paz, withdrew his demand that the dispute with Chile be included in the agenda of the assembly. The Irish—meaning the Sinn Feiners—were willing to hold a conference ' with the British cabinet at Inverness I this week, as proposed by Premier Lloyd George, but, as was easily pre- i dieted, they didn't want to submit to the only condition imposed, that the ■ Sinn Fein must abandon its demand I for separation from the empire. De Valera sent Harry Boland and Joseph McGrath with his acceptance of the in- j vitation, but in his letter he made sev- > eral reservations, chief of which was j his objection to admitting Ireland's al- j legiance to the British crown before entering the conference. He also ar-i gued that if the premier objected to i the secession of Ireland from the em- . pire he should not support the seces- 1 ; sion of Ulster from Ireland. Mr. Lloyd George sent the couriers i back to Dublin with a message to De ! ! Valera that his note was unsatisfae- | i lory ami he had bettor write another, i • This the governor supplemented by : a telegram to De Valera canceling the . arrangements for the Inverness con- i I ference because he felt that, in view jof Hie Irish attitude, negotiations I : would be useless. 'The premier was j i as conciliatory as he could be con- [ ( sistently, but at this writing it I iis uncertain whether the negoti-i j titions for peace will continue. The Dail Eirann, however, named its dele- I ' gates for the conference, if it is held, I ; and De Valera is not one of them. The ! i delegates are: Arthur Griffith, founder I of Sinn Fein ami republican foreign ! minister; Michael Collins, minister of j i finance; Robert Barton, secretary of | j economic affairs; Eamon Duggan, chief ! ■ Irish republican army liaison officer, । ■ who helped to arrange the truce, ami George Gavan Duffy, the Irish envoy ; I to Rome. Several of these men are classed as j moderates. The Freeman’s Journal of , Dublin says: ‘‘Their task may have its j difficulties, but its successful aceom- j plisliment will be tht‘ crown of a great achievement. Both nations have their hearts set on an honorable ending here and now to the struggle of centuries. Their desire is well within the realm of possibility ami practicability. All the efforts of the would-be wreckers in < treat Britain hitherto have failed. There is then enough statesmanship in the Irish delegation to confirm that failure and to complete a fabric of Director of the Budget Dawes has informed the senate finance committee

The finance committee completed its redrafting of the house tax bill and experts began getting the measure i ready for presentation in, the senate on I September 21. Disregarding the rec-: omniendatlons of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, the committee voted i to repeal the excess profits tax begin- i ning January 1. 1922. am! the capital : stock tax effective in 1922. ami to sub- j stitute' for these a tlat corporation tax of 15 per cent, effective January 1, i i 1922.

Txiey place the black man without the ptile of the law. Such organizations tpnient racial, religious and political (enmities instead of encouraging coniity and friendship between all classes of American citizens which should! be the aim of every broad minded American.” Meanwhile the Klan continues to I grow in numbers with extraordinary 1 rapidity, now having, it is said, more than half a million members, and being organized in every state in the Union except New Hampshire, Utah and Montana. The great packing concerns of Armour, Swift.
