IETvS BE BRAVE.

LET'S BE BRAVE.
Let's be brave when the laughter
dies
And the tears come into our troubled
eyes,
Let's cling to the faith and the old
belief
When the skies grow gray with the
clouds Of grief.
Let's bear the sorrow and hurt and
pain
And wait til the laughter comes
again.
Let's be brave when the trials come
And our hearts are sad and our lips
are dump.
Let's strengthen ourselves in the
times Of test
BY whispering softly that God knows
best,
Let Us still believe. though We can
not know,
We shall learn something it Is bet
ter so.
Let's be brave when the Joy departs
Till peace shall come to our troubled
hearts.
For the tears must fall and the rain
comes down
And each brow be pressed 20 the
thorny crown;
Yet after the dark shall the sun
arise,
So let's be brave when the laughter
dies

WANT BLUE" MEMORIAL DAY.

The movement on foot at Indianapolis to have
the races at the motor speedway, an international
affair OF great Importance held at some other time
hereafter than Memorial day. will have the ap-
LrovaI OF all who inclined TO regard that day
among the most solemn OF distinctly American ma
tional holidays Memorial day. while not set aside
for weeping and waiting. Is neither intended for
e,uberance or entertainment It is day for solemn
pride In several states sporting events have been
forbidden on Memorial day. even more emphatically
than they are FORBIDDEN on Sunday. Indiana has
RETAINED from passing such a law, and one ought
not be necessary or even rendered desirable.
This is the first year since entered the war
that the indianapolis races have been held on
Memorial day. They were abandoned IN 1917 and
IS on account Of the war. and in 1919 because
Memorial day fell on Friday the were held
Saturday. and last year when May 80 came on
Sunday. the races put off until Monday This
year the old combination resumed, not at all
a necessity. for the races could well have been
held Saturday or any other day Monday.
OF course It may De assumed that indianapolis
is more concerned tn this than else but the
occasion draws from all the state. and from
all over surrounding states. Perhaps it IS unjust
that anyone should be told that they not at
tend automobile races on Memorial day. but il tho
races are not held. they can very well attend,
much as they would like This happens TO be
a matter that can not be charged up to the Lords
day alliance. or to the churches The complaint
comes from the American Legion. It is just
little civic affair viii be interesting to watch
the effect that the indianapolis agitation may have
upon It. It would be better quite without doubt,
II the end itself could be attained without
20 legislative enactments.

United States Will
Take Initiative on
Naval Reductions

Washington, Nov. 2-Conferences
between the American delegation to
the conference on arms limitation and
the staffs of technical advisers as
signed to aid the delegation will con-
tinue even after the conference it
self has opened.
II was indicated today at the state
department, where the American dele
gates again were in session with
Secretary DENLY and the naval ad-
vcisers on technical matters of the
delegation, that there would probably
be no termination Of this discussion
of naval armament matters or Of any
other specific matters to come up be-
fore the international gatherings. the
meetings going on as occasion requir-
ed even after the conference was in
session. ,
So far the American delegates are
understood to have concerned them
selves in their joint discussions pri-
marily with naval armament matters,
no other subjects such as those in
volving a possible association of ma
tions plan or world court having
been considered. Nor. is It under
stood that the association or world
court plans. at least, will even be
taken up. In studying the naval mat
ters the delegates are understood to
be preparing to take the initiative
and make a substantial offer in the
conference looking to reduction of
naval programs. The United States
called the conference, 1t was pointed
out. and expects to be ready to sub
NIT very liberal offer on its own be-
half looking to such reductions.
The first meeting of the conference
is now scheduled for 80 o'clock the
morning of Saturday, November II,
cupied by the patriotic Americans Of
the Revolutionary War.
In connection with the work to be
done during the conference by the
technical advisors announced yester-
day ad also by the advisory commit
tee appointed by President Harding
to aid the American delegates, 1t was
pointed out today that while the field
Of the technical experts would be
primarily limited to giving informa-
ton as to the special subjects 70
which htey have devoted study and
research of technical nature. the
advisory body could well serve to
keep the American delegates in touch
with American sentiment and Amer
lean public opinion. in practically
every walk of life In the nation.

MARSHAL FOCH
HONORS CHILDREN
OF KANSAS CITY

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 2-Marsha1
Foch stayed here today rather than
disappoint several thousand school
children who had been told they
might get chance to see him. The
Leavenworth. Kan. but on learning
of the plan to have the school chill
dren lined up along the boulevards
that he might wave to them, and
they to him. he postponed his de-
parture. Lieut.. Gen. Baron Jacques
of Belgium accompanied him on the
boulevard tour. Both military lead
ers were waiving continuously to the
school children for several miles.
The marshaTs car stopped at the
convent school of the Sisters of Not
re Dame de Sion, where seven little
girls. dressed in white and with the
French tri-color in their hair. made
speech in French to the marshal,
who responded.
Children" the marshal said, in
response to the greetings. II came to
America because I love this land. 1
wanted to show my appreciation. We
have been friends in war; we must
be friends in peace. You boys. when
you grow up must work; you little
girls, when you are women must re-
member to pray"
When the formal program was
concluded, the marshal started to
enter his car. Then he changed his
mind. He. was tired and he asked
Of x.yhn hn
might not rest a moment in the par
lor of the school.
Waving aside the Count de Cham
brun, who has been active as official
interpreter and the immediate staff,
the marshal went alone to the con-
vent parlor. He leaned back in a
chair and closed his eyes. But the
marshal was not to take a nap. Sew
eral little girls tiptoed to the door OF
the parlor to peek at him. The
marshal of France saw them, bright
eyed and bashful and beckoned them
in.
Soon others. abashed and de-
lighted, sidled in and stood on one
foot and another beside the mar
shars chair, and smiled at him and
answered his questions as to their
names and ages. They did not need
the services of the Count de Cham
brun, for the sisters had taught
them all to speak French, though
some of them spoke lispingly When
the marshnls 20 minutes were up, he
shook hands with the little boys
gravely and kissed the little girls
and there were great tears in his
eyes, for today was the anniversary
of the death Of Marshal Foch's son,
who gave his life in the war.
