 Aside from discussion ny the council of three of minor articles of the peace treaty, Friday in peace conference circles in Paris was quiet day. Likewise at Versailles where the German delegates are waiting the pleasure of delegates of the allied and associated gov ernments to hand them the terms of peace, there were no extraordi- nary happenings.
 With the controversy between Italy and the council of three still unsettled and the Chinese delega- ton reported to be disposed to pro- test against the award of KiaO- Chau to the Japanese, Belgium now Is declared to be dissatisfied with the terms of the peace treaty as re- gards her territorial desires in Ger many.
 Apparently no great attempts are being made by the council of three to bring about reconciliation in ideas with the Italian delegates. The French Ambassador to Italy, however. has conferred at length with Premier Orlando regarding the situation and the developments

THE WORLD WAS AMAZED

''The world has just passed through q remarkable period when America was called upon to furnish men, materials and money to the nations with which we were allied" MT. Oliver stated, "anG America answered every call. Her response amazed the world and-us as well.
 "We now passing through n re- construction period and the govern ment must use all it's opportunities a world power. This means the use of ships to carry our goods, and war ships to protect our interests, aud above all else we must see that the rabid theories of socialism and b0l- shevism do not get foothold among uS.
 s.W ith the magnitude of our army and the magnificent record it made We are likely to forget the navy" he sad, but we must not forget that it kCpt the seas open for the transportation Of our soldiers and supplies for our al my and the armies of Britain and France.
 "If there was one factor that con- tribUted to victory more than any oth- CT it was the bottling up of Germa ny, which prevented food and supplies reaching the Germans.
 NAVY WAS READY
 You never heard any complaint that the navy was not prepared when war came. It was not so powerful, but 1t was ready and efficient" he said. The committee was not surprised, because we knew of the preparation that had been made before war came, not be- cause we were expecting war, but because the navy was looking ahead and preparing for any eventuality.'
 Ha stated that in accordance with recommendations of the Secretary of the Navy, made to Congress in 1915, to adopt general policy and build l. ing programme that would with reas- onable speed produce by 1925 navy fairl;. equal to that of any other nation, and the declaration of President Will son, in his St. Louis speech in l9l6 the Congress ordered the constructio1 T of 1e battleships, six battle cruisers 10 scout cruisers and many destroy CTS chasers submarines and other yes sels, making 156 in all, all to be com pleted in three years.
 It was the policy of the administra- tion, he said. to make survey at the expiration of that period. and to pro- vide for such other ships as might then be deemed necessary.
 "The war interfered with this pro- gramme, the submarine activities nec- essitating the building Of destroyers and chasers to wipe these off the seas,' he said. At the signing of the armis- tice there were 342 destroyers in the American navy and we had made and

Colorado Aggies To
Form Team From New
Material This Year

Fort Collins, Colo, Oct. I'm spite
of the fact that the football team Of
the Colorado Aggies will not be COM
posed of old and seasoned players.
Coach Hughes is placing his hopes
for a favorable season in the fact that
most of the two dozen men who have
been given places on the squad this
year are of sufficient weight to justify
the belief that what they may lack
in experience they will probably make
up in beef"
For a college team, the weights,
which range from 148- to 1874, are to
be considered as a bit above the aver
age, and with a sprightly session of
workouts within the coming weeks,
the height Of the grid season may
find the Aggies in a position which
will enable them to maintain a first
class defensive even though they may
not have been formed into a highly
trained offensive organization.
Dotson, who tips the beam at 1874,
F., has had one years college work and
is consequently numbered among the
most capable members OF the organi-
| cation. He is at home in the position
Of tackle. Scott and Nye, 100 and 1872,
respectively, can be counted upon tc
take care of halfback and details
Other members Of the team who have
had college experience are Worthing-
ton and Mitchell, while a number OF
| the men have one or more games tc
their credit while members of the
students army training corps.
