THE CZAR'S CONFERENCE.
Rcsults OF Far Reaching Character May I,e
Brought About in the Amelloration of
the Horrors OF War.

Washington, April H. The presi.
dent will this week deliver to the
United States delegates to the czar's
disarmament conference instructions
of the course he desires them to pur.
sue when the conference is held.
In one respect it is said in official
quarters that the congress may achieve
results of far-reaching character, al
though not in full realization Of the
plan of disarmament. This, it is
hoped, will be in the line of ameliorat-
ing the horrors of war, doing away
with the needless suffering and maim-
ing which some missiles of warfare oc-
casion and in general placing warfare
upon as humane basis as is consist
ent with military and strategic usage.
