DELEGATES TO^MEET BEFORE CONFERENCE Washington, Sept. 10.?Prellmihary discussion by the American delegation with a view to arriving at unified opinions and selection of the personnel of the delegation's advisory commitee were indicated officially today as th^ next step to be taken by the United States government in preparation for the conference on limitation of armament and Pacific and Far Eastern affairs. The preliminary dlseussiofts, it was stated, may be expected to begin soon, although some progress toward unification of views already has been made. Secretary Hughes, who has been designated by President Harding as head of the delegation, is understood to have ascertained the views of Senator T.odcre and Ellhu Root. two other member? of the delegation on several of the questions on which it is considered desirable to formulcyte . early opinions The fourth member of the American delegation, Senator Underwood, will be brought into the discussion as soon as he returns to Washington. Mr. Underwood . is spending the congressional recess in N the mountains of Tennessee, but is expected to return to the capital prior to the reassembling of congress September 21.? 1 May Meet Soon. Whether the American delegation might be expected to meet soon in a formal session was not indicated today, but it was thought to bo highly desirable that some agreement be reached by the delegation at an early date as to the conference prbgram. While these preliminary discussions are proceeding It is considered probable that the membership of the advisory "committee--will be decided. President Harding is said to feel that the American advisory* committee bliould consist of about 12 members | and not more than 15, at the most.! Such a small committee, it was pointed out 4oday, will necessitate careful selection ^o as to give proper repreET Xv Tt ^ ; \ ILX th? Fs, GI p\ - _ ?st\\\ \ ..

Because of his position as chief of staff and because of the experience gained as. commander of tho American forces during the world war. General Pershing, it is regarded in Washington, most probably will be one of the army representatives on the committee. Maj. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, who represented the United, States on the supreme council and j later was o^ie of the member^ of the American peace <jommission at Paris, is another who . is being: mentioned i here as a possible selection as representative of the army. Number From Navy. Those mentioned as probable representatives of the navy are numerous and include Rear Admiral Sims, commander of the American forces in European waters during: the war and now head of the naval war college; Admiral Hilary P.* Jones, commander of the Atlantic fleet, and Rear Admirals Henry T. Mayo, Charles J. Badger and Frank F. Fletcher, all former commanders of the Atlantic fleet. President Harding has indicated that labor and the nation's women also are .to be given representation on the advisory section. - Foremost among those eligible to speak for labor, according to views expressed here, is Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of l^tbor. Various other labor leaders have been mentioned in this connection, however. Agriculture, it has been indicated,, also may be given a voice in the advisory section and likewise the business men of the country. It is considered probable, however, that several weeks may pass before the makeup of the advisory committed is completed. dedicate memorial TO FIRST PIIiGRIM DEAD Plymouth, Mass., Sept. S.?The General Society of Mayflower Descendants today dedicated a granite sarcophagus as a permanent memorial to the Pilgrims?half the Mayflower band?who died in the colony's first winter on the Plymouth shore. The nwJnument stands on' the summit. of Cole's Hill, facing the open sea, and on the side of the first burying ground. "Here, under cover of darkness, the fast dwindling: ^-company laid their .dead, .levelling the earth above them lest the Indians should learn how many were the graves' was one inscription on it.
