THE recent offer of $500 each
for the 200 wooden ships built
during the war at an average
cost TO the American public OF
100000 apiece, does not compare
very favorably with the S22,50O paid
by a junk dealer for the old Civil
War Frigate Richmond, Admiral
Farraguts flagship, which was
burned recently so that the copper
and brass in her hull might be
salvaged.
There seems 10 be no existing
navy department records to show
Just what the Richmond cost the
government when built in 1883 at
the Norfolk navy yard, but ship
construction experts are certain she
did not cost anywhere near 500, 900.
Navy department officials in Wash
ington have not revealed the value
Of the copper and brass put into the
building of the Richmond. and the
Philadelphia junk dealer who burned
her, refuses to make public the
quantity of these metals he got out
but this has been estimated at 20C
tons. There wasn't anything else
in the Richmond of val,ie excepi

EXCHANGING VIEWS.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 10y The
Associated PressHActive exchange
of views are taking place between the
delegations to the armament confer
ence in order to agree on the program
for the inaugural meeting Saturday
Up to the present IL seems that Presi-
dent Harding's opening address VIII
be followed by the proposal from the
English delegation to appoint secre-
tary Hughes president OF the confer
ence. which II Is expected win be np-
proved unanimously.
Secretary Hughes will address n
few words OF welcome TO h foreign
delegates, u It has not yet been
decided whether there would be any
replies. A proposal has been made
that NJ BRAND being the only pre-
mier present. should speak in the
name OF all but II was thought that
this is not possible, as each country
has an attitude toward the conference,
not entirely identical to the others.
Therefore, either every president OF
each delegation will reply or nobody
will speak.
Immediately afterward n committee
will be formed of the delegation presi'
dents Of the five great powers which
is already called the big five" for
the drafting of h agenda. Another
committe composed OF the representa-
tlves of the delegations of the four
smaller countries. Holland. Portugal.
Belgium and China. will be added for
the agenda concerning Far Eastern
problems. The conference will then
adjourn TO Tuesday when h reports
of these two committees viii be pre-
scented.
