demand liberty and justice. There

Out OF tho cataclysm Of the
World war came new fellowships,
new convictions, new inspirations.
1t is ours to make the most of
them. A world staggering with debt
needs its burden lifted. Humanity
which has been shocked by wanton
destruction would minimize the
agencies of that destruction Con-
templaung the meaSureless cost of
war and the continuing burden OF

In soberest reflection the world s
hundreds of millions who pay IN
peace and die in war wish their
statesmen to turn the expenditures
into means of construction, aimed
at higher state for those who live
and follow after.
1T is not alone that the world
cannot adjust itself and cast aside
the excess burdens without relief
from the leaders of men. War has
grown progressively cruel and
more destructive from the first re
corded conflict to this pregnant day,
and the reverse order would more
become our bGaSted civilization.

PASTOR THANKS
GODFOR COMING
OF ARMS MEET
Opening Prayer Asks
Clear Vision for
Delegates.

Washington. Nov. 12.-tBy the
Associated Press The prayer
with which the armament and far
eastern conference was opened to-
day was offered by the Rev W s
Ahernethy, pastor of Calvary Bap-
tIst church. Washington, and was
as follows:
Almighty God. we thank Thee
for the coming of this eventful day.
I'VE have seen it from afar and now
we rejoice that it has at last dawn
ed. May it bring untold blessing
to troubled world. 0, Thou ON
nipotent One, as in other days, We
believe that Thou dost guide in hu-
man affairs. Thou has made of
one blood all nations that dwell
upon the earth, and though we are
or many races and many tongues.
yet the interests of the few are the
interests of the larger number May
We feel assured that the welfare
and happiness and prosperity of
the human family are inexpressib!y
dear to Thy heart.
Think of Duties.
We pray for clear vision or we
shall grope blindly for the light
and lose our way. We pray for
hearts lovingly sympathetic to hl-
man distress wherever it NAV ex-
lst, or we shall sink into the
depths of a miserable seIffshness.
We pray for minds willing to be
lleVe that the strong ought to bear
the Infirmities of the weak, or we
shall miss the great joy of ser
vice. We pray for the forward
look or we shall be overwhelmed
in hopeless pessimism. Give US
the ability to think clearly. TO
think fairly. to act wisely. Help US
to think less often of our rights
and more often of our duties and
responsibilities
"Save Or We Perish"
We pray at this hour on be
half of world in sore need. Thou
art not unmindful of the sufferings
OF Thy people. The cries of the
multitudes of windows and or
phans have come up before Thee,
. God. We have had our terrible
baptism of blood. There is hunger
and pestilence and unutterable an
guish- God forbid that the woes
of these years should ever again
be visited upon the earth. Can it
be Thou hast permitted us thus to
suffer in order that we might turn
from our own devices to Thee and
acknowledge Thee as King OF our
lives and our destinies? Out of
the depths we cry unto Thee. Save
US or we perish
"WaIk Softly"
May we walk softly and hum
bly, before Thee. this day, and
throughout the fateful days of this
great conference. May we be in
tent on knowing Thy viii; and
knowing it, may we have the cour-
age to do it. And may it not be the
findings of this conference shall
be so wise. so far-reaching and so
beneficial, that all mankind may
take new hope and fresh courage,
And to Thee, shall be the praise
and the glory forever, and forever.
Amen"

Washington, Nov. 12.-AmeriCaI
concrete proposal for limitation o
naval armaments the crux OF tn,
arms cOnferenCe-was presented
today by Secretary Hughes at thu
very opening of the first session
Briefly, it is as follows:
A naval holiday. in which all
building programs should be
abandoned and the Older ships
of present navies sCrapped,
was the keynote of the Ameri-
can proposal. Mr.. Hughes laid
down four general principles.
THAT ali capital ship build
ing programs. either actual or
projected. should be aban-
Goned.
2-That further reduction
should be made through the
scrappiug of certain of the
older ships;
3-That in general, regard
should be had TO the existing
naval strength of the powers
concerned;
4-That the capital ships
tonnage should be used as the
measurements Of strength for
navies and proportionate al
Iowance OF auxiliary combat
ant craft prescribed"
For the United States the pro-
gram would scrap all capital ships
under construction, - in number,
and . of the older battlesHips.
Great Britain would stop con
struction on her four new ships Of
the Hood type and scrap all her
second and first line battieships
up to the King George V. class.

As q replacement program. the
government proposed
that no more ships be laId down
for the next 10 years, and that "a
maximum replacement tonnage fg
ure be fixed providing eventually
for 500, 900 tons for the UnueI
States, SOC 600 tons for Great Bit
ain and 300 600 tons for Japan.
