Four years have passed by quickly

war. Men. who distinguished them,
selves by their bravery and devotion
to duty. ;{t--.
When we look back on the accounts
of the terrific battles that were fought
we wonder that any men survived.
In our generation 1t Will not be pos
sible to say what the cost has been.
yet the years which has passed since
the guns we're silenced have given ds
chance to look around and figure up
some things the war has meant to
mankind. Men and pictures tell the
story.
Time is nearing when we sit down
for day. to pay tribute to those who
gave their lives for their country. We
cannot realize that 100000 men were
killed on the battlefield--a number
almost equal to the population of
New York city, and yet we forget.
Some Of the most thrilling incidents
of the war when half the horses OF

McMILLEN is HIGH
AT GUN CLUB SHOOT

Some interesting records were put
up by the members of the Rifle and
Revolver club at, their weekly meet
at the indoor range in the G. of G.
building Friday evening.
Don McMillen maintained his first
place position by shooting 1877. To do
1t. however, he had to better his rec.
ord Of 1876 made last week. That was
eQualled by Wilbur Van Horn, who
also edged up, adding point to his
showing of the previous week. Van
Horn holds second place undisputed.
A newcomer to the club circle was
Il. ID. McNabb, who was awarded the
cellar championship for shooting 1870.
He was comforted. however. by his
fellows by the assurance that really
he had shot very well for his first
competition and that he may soon
qualify for the Society Of 100.
The Mt. Vernon Rifle and Revolver
club is to apply for membership in
the National Rifle association and
will send in its formal application
next Monday. Membership in the N.
r. A. will make the club eligible to
shoot under the rules of the assOcia.
tion. 1t may hold competitions with
other rifle clubs on its own range.
The charter is expected to come in
the course of ten days. Following its
receipt. steps will be taken to ar
range competitions with other rifle
clubs.

TROUBLE BREWING
THROUGH FRANCE
HER PROPOSAL TO BUILD TEN
CAPITAL SHIPS STRIKES THE
CONFERENCE DUMB.
IN D|sAccoRO WITH THEORY
Strong inclination In American and
British Circles Not to Take tho
Proposition Seriously.

Observation-Disclosures by the
British spokesman that France has
asked before the naval subcommittee
OF Is for authority in agreement with
the other four naval powers to build
ten S5,00O-ton capital ships struck the
arms conference with stunning force.
The proposal was wholly out OF ac-
cord with theories on which the naval
confrees have proceeded up to this
time that there was strong inclina.
ton in British and American circles
not to take 1t seriously. The feeling
was said to rest in part on what Pre-
mier BRAND said at the second plen-
airy session in regard to the American
proposals for naval limitation.
Mr.. Brands reference to "princi.
pies" was construed at the time as
acceptance for France Of the four prin.
ciples laid down by Mr. Hughes in his
proposals.
Paragraph A of the four principles
stated was as follows.
"The elimination OF all capital ship.
building programs. either actual or
projected"
Paragraph B reads:
That regard should be had to the
existing naval strength of the confer
ring powers"
In view of these plain statements Of
the purpose OF the conference, and ap-
parent French agreement in those pur.
poses. officials OF delegations other
than the French have been wholly at a
loss to account for Frances desire now
to add ten 35,0O0.ton "post-Jutland'
ships to her navy by 1885.
The proposal was believed in some
quarters to be a trading proposition
to accomplish some other purpose not
clearly discernable except to the
French.
