WHAT CONFERENCE WILL NOT
DO.

The disarmament conference now
in session in Washington is making
history. 1t has brought together the
great diplomats of the principal gov
ernments Of the world, and under the
light and guidance of a free republic
the demand for better civilization
Is being made.
America is now leading the way TO
better civilization, and the confer
ence is not being held in an atmos-
phere surrounded by warning govern
nents, but in free land, that has
ever championed the downtrodden of
I'll nations.
At the conference America is rep
resented by its ablest statesmen, ap-
pointed by the president, who is not
partisan but broad-minded and
liberal American.
Out of this conference will not
come any scheme to throttle govern
ments, ne matter how weak they be
There will be no binding obligations
or secret treaties to make chattels c1

There will be no guarantees that viii

BIG NAVY PLAN IS
GIVEN SETBACK BY
COMMITTEE VOTE
Proposed Senate Increases Are
Slashed From Bill in
Joint Conference.
by Universal Service.

An agreement was reached on the
naval appropriation bill by the SEN
ate and House conferees yesterday
under which most of the Senate in
creases were stricken from the bill.
, The projects that suffered under
the ak welded by the small navy
men in the House included the es-
tablishment of an aviation base at
Sand Point, Wash; improvements at
the Puget Sound navy yard, estab-
lishment Of a balloon base at Camp
Kearny, CAL; the construction of
two airplane carriers and increased
authorizations for completing the
1916 building program.
All OF the amendments dropped by
the Senate conferees were rejected
by the House twice under the leader
ship Of Represntativ Mondell of Wy
oming.
The conference report on the bill
will be submitted to the Senate and
House tomorrow and Il is probable
that the measure will be signed by
President Harding without delay, as
the failure of the bill to pass before
July l has left the Navy Department
without funds since that date.
The bill now carries total OF
S4lOOI3,2S9, which is more than
$50, 100000 less than the amount ap-
propriated In the original Senate bill.

of a wave of sanguine predic-
tions of "peace in Ireland at
last" Eamon de Valera, president
of the Irish republic, this after
noon issued a proclamation to his
countrymen warning. them against
undue confidence"
The proclamation said:
"Fellow citizens:
During the period of truce
each individual---soldier and citi-
zen-must regard himself as a
custodian of the nations honor.
Your discipline must prove in the
most convincing manner that this
is the struggle Of an organized
nation.
"In the negotiations now initial
ing, your representatives will do
their utmost to secure just and
peaceful, termination of this
struggle, but history-particularly
our own history-and the char
acter of the issue to be decided
are warning against undue con-
fidence."
Should force be resumed
against our nation you must be
ready once more to resist. Thus
alone will you secure the final
abandonment of force and the
acceptance of justice and reason
as arbiter." -.-

PIRATE SHIP STORY
IS RELATED AGAIN
BY CAPTAIN GILES
Skipper of Munson Liner Re-
ports Low, Rakish Craft"
Off Atlantic Coast.

Pirates Of the Atlantic-if such
is the explanation OF the vanishing
ship mystery-won two notable VIC
tories yesterday in support of the the
ory of their existence.
Under government investigation
two theories advanced by those who
make light of the existence Of n
marauder dissipated In thin air as
completely as have the missing ves-
sells disappeared from the sea lanes.
When the report describing a
long, low, rakish craft" which
without lights suspiciously circled
the Munson linax Munslbro, was rA-
ceived by the Department of Com
merce from her master, Captain
Giles, the scoffers promptly declared
that all that had been seen was a
Navy destroyer off her course.
This theory was even supported by
some officials Of the Bureau Of Navi-
cation, but official reports from the
Navy Department disclosed the fact
that no destroyer or navy craft
OF any sort had been within 200 miles
Of the Munalbro on the night that the
mystery ship was seen.
mo merchant craft would have pos
sessed the spead of the ship described
by the Munalbro's captain" an Off
cial OF the Bureau of Navigation as
serted. "If, as now develops, no navy
vessel was in that vicinity. credence
must be placed In Captain Giles re-
port particularly in view OF his long
experience and unquestioned judg-
ment."
As a result OF the navy report
Atlantic wireless stations were
again ordered TO send out descrip-
tions and warnings OF the possible
msrauder to marchant navigators.
