By EDWARD W. PICKARD. With a mind not yet quite ad ease In the matter, Japan has sent word that she will accept President Hard-- ' lugs Invitation to the Washington to discuss limitation of armaments and questions of the Pacific and the Far East. But this Is to be with certain reservations. These are expressed In the closing part ' of Tokyos .latest note to Washington, which reads: The Japanese government have been made aware through the communications and the published statement of the American government and the conversations between the secretary of state and Baron Shldehara that the proposition of the American government to discuss the Pacific and Far Eastern problems is based on the close bearing they- - may have on the question of limitation of armamerts, which is the original and principal aim of the conference, and that, therefore, the main object of discussing these problems is to reach a common understanding in regard to general principles and policies in the Pacific and Far s. East. In order to insure . the success of the conference, the Japanese government deem it advisable that the agenda thereof should be arranged In accordance with the main object of the discussions as above defined, and that introduction therein of problems such as are of sole concern to certain particular powers, or such matters as may be regarded accomplished facts, should be scrupulously avoided. Of course, among what Japan considers accomplished facts are the cession of Shantung to Japan and the Yap nmmjnte. But our State department is confident the Japanese can be satisfied in the drawing' up of the agenda for the conference, and therefore is now preparing the formal invitations to the powers. There is a chance that some of the conference . . British which consider dominions, themselves nations in most respects, will kick up a little trouble because the British empire Is to he represented as a unit, 'with only one vote. Australia already is wailing that she is entitled to a vote as a nation on the Pacific problems. Probably New Zealand, and possibly Canada, feel rite same way. Rene Vivian! and Albert Summit. minister of colonies, are to represent France at the conference; and Premier Briand also may come. No decided opposition to holding the conference in Washington has devel-ojiehilt tlie date of its opening remains to be settled. The United Slates November 11. tentatively mentioned Armistice day, because it would he sentimentally suitable, but again the British dominions protest. Many' of their legislative bodies ate in session during the fall months, and as their premiers wish to he present at the conference, they are urging that a later date be selected for Its assembling. It may be they can be satisfied by preliminary Informal consultations between Pacific powers which will enable them to put their views on record. d d. - mutual concessions Through France yielding the most Great Britain and France have reached an understanding on the Upper Silesian question, and the threatened break In the entente will not occur Just yet, France abandoned her Inanyhow. tention of sending immediate re-e- 0 that if the French or Poles were attacked the British would help In the occupation of the Ruhr basin. railroad administration as evidence ot the railroad debts to the government, the railroad administration then to apply the purchase price against clalmi For some time there have been ru- v.h'to the roads have against the mors that former Emperor Charles thus giving the roads fundi was planning another coup to regain that they greatly need.
