LINERS OUT OF wARsHIPs.

Thesplendid warsbips now building
need not be total loss when the scrap
ping program begins, if suggestion made
by j. w. Powell, president of the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation, is carried out.
They need not even go at junk prices.
Some of them may be turned into valu-
able assets of q different kind.
Mr.. Powell wants the government to
take three bulls. intended for battle crui-
sers, which are now marked for dcstruc-
ton, and have them finished as passenger
liners. He believes they are admirably
fitted for the purpose. a battle cruiser
is sort of battleship that is lighter and
faster than the dreadnought One of the
that of the cruiser Lexington at Quincy,
Mass. he is convinced would make a
liner superior to any now existing. 1t
would carry 1000 first class passengers,
LOCO second class and 1000 steerage
passengers, and beat any of our present
liners in speed. Apparently it would cost
no more to finish the cruisers in this way
than according to the original plans. 1t
might cost less. And they would make a
big addition to our merchant marine.
Two other cruiser hulls, he thinks,
could be converted into airplane carriers.
of which the conference plans allow a
greater tonnage than our government
now possesses
If such use can fairly be made of these
crafts, why scrap them?

that the friends of the league are nearly
all showing themselves friendly to the as

Supporters of the administration natur-
ally support the Presidents plan for an
informal association. and former cham
pions of the league plan have mostly
given up hope of joining it, for the pre-

an association as step in the right direc-
ton.

present discussion. The important fact
just now is the way in which the lately
divided nation is getting together on a
plan of international action. Nearly
everybody has come at last to see that

the welfare of America, there must be
mutual hclpfulness and concerted action
among the nations "Co-operation" is

New Hampshire'S Grange master de-
clared in recent speech that the world
was going to the dogs" and seems to
think that it is the younger set which
is fast taking it there with their pre-.
sent day style extremes. He suggests
that little "oil of birch" be applied by
the parents as a saving measure and it
is possible that too little of this remedy
is used in these modern times. But every
generation which has reached middle age
is apt to think the following one is fast
headed for destruction. In few wears
these young people who now calmly set
aside all presidents established by their
elders will be trying to find some way to
curb their progeny. In the meantime the
old world rolls onward instead of back

CHANCE TO END WARS.
Nations Must Not Pass Up Opportunity
of Arms Conference.
Editor of The Phoenix


Now that the arms conference is in
session at Washington, to prevent wars
II possible, it seems a proper time to
speak of war for what it is. 1t is not
only what Sherman said it was, but
Dante s Inferno or any description of
Hades ever put in print is Inadequate
II is an ever present suggestion of the
Devil made through his personal agents
III the form of human beings. 1t is a
place where cannon are drawn up prac-
tically wheel to wheel, and eniiladed,
and barraged, on a battle front of 20,
or 90, or 100 miles, and the earth, and
the trees, and human beings, are indis-
criminately ground together by the most
powerful rending and tearing explosions
that can be devised by man, and the
landscape becomes as a plowed field and
the air is filled with poison gases that
destroy all forms of life, and the earth
is made poison desert. 1t is de-
stroyer of the accumulated wealth of
the toilers for ages. 1t is a burden, and
a breeder of famine, pestilencc and des-
par, blot and menace to civilization.
Aud all this ruin and desolation is to
satisfy the greed and avarice of those
who lust for power and dominion.
The human race now has a short res
plte, an opportunity 10 escape from
war; to crawl on hands and knees from
under certain doom. VIII it do it?
1t is now within the power of the
leading nations to make war impossible,
or 20 restrict it to the smallest possible
areas, This opportunity must not be al
lowed to pass for any reason whatso-
ever To grasp this opportunity is the
only sane outlook for the future. Scrap
the offensive ornaments. Scrap it ali,
and argue, and weigh and adjust the
differences between nations in interna-
tional conferences, and make these de-
cisions binding.

Bill Justified by Rea

PHILADELPHIA, Apri, io-~isnmuel
Rca, president Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, to-day defended the roads
action in sending 200 locomotives to
the Baldwin Locomotive Works for rc-
pairs last year, maintaining that even
II the cost were greater in the roads
own shops speed In completing the
work was essential and tho price paid
was not waste.
Mr.. Rca appeared as witness ut the
hearing instituted by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to determine
whether tho work done at outside shops
could have boon done for less in the
railroads own repair plants. At the
conclusion of to-day's session the hear
ing was adjourned until May at Wash
ington.
Mr.. Rca said there had been no dis
cussions regarding complete bids.
Rapid work on repairs was necessary,
he declared, because of Indications Of
heavy business, and such indications
were justified by the reports which
showed last October was the heaviest
month in the Pennylvania's history
y. G. Blecke, an examiner Of ac-
counts for the Interstate Commerce
Commission, testified at the morning
session that the repairs on the 200 loco
motives at Baldwn's COST $3,173oS2
more than if they had been done in
the roads shops. He said the cost in
the roads shops was $6638, while the
the Baldwins charged an average OF
$23, 047 each.
