TT APPEARS that the prophets in
1 Washington were Al wrong. The
great conference seemingly - going to
reach and sign an agreement on limita-
tion of naval armament without waiting
to settle the problems Of the Pacific
and the Far East. This tendency Is
a result of Secretary Hughes down.
right action In laying before the con-
ference In its first session the Amer
lean proposal as to navies. Briefly,
that proposal Is that the United
States, Great Britain and japan agree
to suspend naval construction for ten
years, and during the succeeding ten
years build only for replacement; that
all uncompleted capital ships and
many other specified capital ships be
scrapped at once; that the aggregate
capital ship tonnage be limited to 5OO,-
600 each for England and America,
and 100000 for Japan; that the sea
power Of the three nations be main
tanned on this basis. There are other
features of the program, but every
one Is familiar with 1t by this time.
The conference. and the world. were
at first astounded by this unexpected
laying of the American cards on the
table, and then the plan was greeted
with loud and universal acclaim. The
delegates of the other nations could
not, II they would, refuse to indorse
1t, and at the second open session
Great Britain, Japan. Italy and
France, formally accepted II "in prin-
ciple," with minor notifications.
These. as set forth then and later.
were as follows:
BY Great Britain-Limit size and
tonnage OF submarines; permit con-
struction Of one capital ship a year
during ten-year period to retain ship
yard facilities; permit retention OF
more light cruisers and gunboats to
police the high seas; reduction I'm
number Of naval ship building yards.
BY Japan-Increas Of Japan's ma
val strength to 70 per cent Of British
and American: cessation OF construc.
tion OF naval bases and new fortihoa-
tions In the Pacific.
BY France-Allowance Of eight cap
ital ships to safeguard French col
onies.
BY ltaly-Allowance OF six capital
ships TO protect Italian interests.
A committee, OF which Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt is chairman, set h
work at once to study the plan and
proposed notifications. and by the end
OF the week It was predicted an agree
ment would he reached within two or
three weeks. Among the American
experts there was considerable oppo-
sition to the British suggestions,
and the Englishmen dropped the idea
OF one battleship a year.
Japan's proposition that there be no
more naval bases or forthcations con-
structed In the Pacific was expected.
and perhaps proves a bit awkward
for the United States. II means the
abandonment Of work and plans In
the Philippines, Dutch Harbor and
elsewhere which have been considered
most necessary for the safety 'of our
possessions In the Pacific II not for
that of our Pacific coast But II Mr..
Hughes general program Is accepted

DEDICATION OF SUNSHINE
BALLARD CABIN

"Unless the American hand Is
trained to skill, there will be little
use for the American heart and
brain, however sympathetic or illum-
mated they may be. American edu-
cation must be of the head, hand, and
heart, and the hand alone will give
reality to what the head and heart
think or feel"
One Of the most significant occa-
sions held in connection with Berea
College for long time was the dedi-
cation last Friday, November Is, OF
the Sunshine Ballard Cabin, a gift Of
Lieutenant Governor and Mrs. Bal
lard. The program began in the
Chapel with addresses by General
Aultman and Governor Morrow. Gov
ernor Morrow spoke briefly concern
ing the debt that Americans owe al
o. result OF the toll. and sacrifee uf
the pioneers Of this Republic. He
said in part: "The most despicablc
Of all creatures is a man who owes
a debt and can pay it but simply
won't do it. Yet wonder, you sons
and daughters of the Republic, il you
realize that you are debtors, debtors
in a great debt. Not an obligation
that is made out of a contract that
is signed and sealed in cold formal
writing, but a debt founded in high
honor, sealed with the seal Of ma
tion in the blood of all the deathless
dead. Debtors for everything
that gives man the right to stand on
his feet fat footed and look the world
in the face and say, 4 am the equal
Of any man on earth. am an
American citizen Debtors be-
cause of the fact that we live in a
land Of free chance and open oppor-
tunity, where no door Of blood or
birth or caste enters; debtors for the
truth that in this land Of ours the
plowboy as he runs the burrows Of
corn may, if he will, see in the dis
tance the gilded dome of the nations
capitol. 80 Debtors for all that has
been won for US, kept for us, and
held for US by all those who have
died from Bunker Hill to Chateau
Thierry. Debtors for every bloody
track in the snow at Valley Forge;
debtors for every weary march from
Bunker Hill; debtors for every drop
of blood spilled on the slippery decks
in 1912; debtors for the graves that
dotted the soil in our Civil War;
debtors for all that has been done
that our flag might live and the stars
might stay upon it,"
After the exercise in the Chapel
the distinguished visitors, together
with many invited guests, went to
the Sunshine Ballard Cabin for the
dedication service. The welcome ad-
dress was given by President VIM.
J. Hptchins and the dedication
speech was made by President -Emer-

Club sang. The program was con-

Close upon the action of the Amer
lean Congress in defining the anti
liquor law as opposed to the use of
beer as a medicine comes a report
from our Latin-American neighbors
TO the south. The President of Chill
has announced his determination to
place a ban on intoxicating liquors
in the industrial centers Of his coun-
try. Such a prohibition would in
clude the mining sections and the To-
cations where supplies Of nitrate are
made. Industrial competition works
TO the favor of abstinence.

lege believes in the dignity Of manual
labor It believes that honest labor
is a religious duty. It believes that
precious few people should be OK
cused by society from labor until all
of the worlds work is being done. It
believes that there is very little dif-
ference between the degrees Of dig
nifty of different kinds Of necessary
toll.
If a piece Of work is necessary to
human happiness, or even to individ-
ual happiness that piece of work is
well worth doing. Therefore, one
necessary kind Of work does not rank
in dignity ahead Of another. All toll

by any man or woman whatever his
station in life may be.
With these principles ever in mind
those who direct the destinies Of the
institution aim constantly to glorify
the commonplace things and to fos-
ter pride in doing the necessary
things which are often classed as
drudgery. In order to do this it
puts great emphasis on vocational
matters and lays great stress on
manual labor for all of its students.
Fireside Industries
One Of the phases Of industrial ed
ucation which the institution has been
developing for many years relates to
the Fireside misunderstanding, bas-
ket-making, chair.making, home-dye-
ing with native barks and woods, and
other things which give employment
to people about the homie fireside.
There are people Of the faculty who
believe that the demand for the re-
vival of household arts grows more
and more insistent with the passing
year. They believe this for various
reasons, some Of which follow:
lin these days Of high cost of
living tens of thousands-yes, mil
lions Of people need to produce more
of the home necessities and comforts
which are now commonly purchased
with money which must somehow be
obtained by laboring away from
home.
Deterrent to Crime
2.-More kinds of honest toll need
to be created for idle hands to do.
One of the chief causes Of crime is
unemployment; and one of the great
est blows that could ever be deliver
ed against crime will be administered
when the unemployed and unskilled
laborer receives the kind of instruc-
tion that will enable him to employ
his hands and his time profitably
thruout the year.

liability and a menace to the neigh

England. by her order stopping an
work on the four great battleships
now under construction, has made .
move that falls in the same class
with Secretary Hughes proposition
for disarmament. By this act she
shows her sincerity and goes q long
way toward making disarmament
practical. The decision has met
some opposition in England, especial
ly as it throws a large number Of
workmen out Of employment and does
not seem to have met the approval
Of some Of the naval officers, to say
nothing Of the firms having the con-
tracts for the ships. In this act
England goes farther than the u. s.,
as work still goes on in the shipyards
Of our country.

1t has been reported that all the
nine nations in the conference on the
problems Of the Far East have agreed
that the integrity of China shall be
preserved, that the policy of open
ports shall be maintained, and the
opportunities to all nations in rela.
ton to China shall be equal. This is
vital and rapid decision that equals
the one on disarmament. As in the
one case, so in the other there will
be many details to be discussed, and
Japan already makes exception Of
Port Arthur, which she wishes to re-
tain as the one great mark of her
success in the Russo-Japanese war
Of 1904-1905.

Japan. whose representatives SEEM
ed to endorse so heartily the disarm-
ament proposal, are now asking that
Japans proportion, Of naval equip
ment shall be seventy percent Of that
Of England and the U. s. instead Of
sixty percent, and the home govern
ment Is backing up their request.
They have also suggested that the
U. s. sincerity would be more fully
shown Il she would agree to stop
some Of her projects for fortiffcstfon
in the Pacific at various points.
This introduces a new subject, and
it was hoped that the attention of
the conference might not be scatter
ed over too wide field.

CONNECTICUT GETS ss43,o0o
IN SURPLUS WAR MATERIAL

Approximately $3.50, 10000 worth Of
surplus war material turned over by the
war department to the department of ag-
riculture, is being distributed through the
bureau of public roads to the various
states for road building purposes OF this
amount Connecticut is allotted equipment
valued at $643,00o.
Under the Wadsworth-Ka bill this
surplus war material is sent to the states
with the sole provision that it be used
only for road-building purposes. A vast
accumulation of machinery, equipment.
supplies and motor vehicles that was to
have been used in France has thus been
diverted to useful peaee-time purpose.
Included in the Supplies distributed
among the states are 27,19S motor vehi-
cles, mostly rtucks; 172 locomotives of
various Sizes 5000, gross tons of rails
more than 100000 pounds of powder,
and nearly 10000 tons of INT.
Commissioner Charles ]. Bennett of the
Estate highway department said the de-
APARTMENT had ordered a number of small
trucks from the federal department u
agriculture under the provisions of the
/ Wadsworth-Kah bill by which the states
are to pay about 20 per cent of the value
of the equipment He said that the. order
had been placed two orItnree months age
but that no trucks had been received to
| date The value of the trucks was con-
siderably less than $4,000. He said thai
| it was not probable that the state would
purchase further equipment.
| Before the passage of the Wadsworth-
Kahn bill the states were allotted the

about two years ago, Connecticut took 12t
motor trucks valued at Something like
