FLAG DAY SERVICE
Elks Give Splendid Patriotic Cere-
mOnial To American Flag

~ IA AgAl4A@A-
ed a splendid ceremonial in honor Of
the American flag in the Globe theatre
on " ednesday night.
There was a good attendance, the
theatre being well filled, and a pleas
ing feature was the large attendance
OF boys and girls, the hope Of the Ma
ton upon whom great responsibilities
must oon fall.
Flag Day service is obligatory with
every Elk lodge in the United States
and It's possessions. 30 this week the
beautiful ceremony was observed in
nearly 1900 cities and towns through
out the country.
1t may interest u readers to know
that an Elk's lodge is not allowed to be
organized in any city or town of less
than 5000 inhabitants and only one
lodge of the order is allowed to be
organized in any city or town. Thus
there is but one lodge in the great
cities of New York, Philadelphia,
Chicago, and so on.
Our flag was born when our Nation
was an infant. The breeze that first
rippled its starry folds brought wills
pers Of troubled events, violence and
bloodshed. But our flag lives on, 70
see the Nation live and grow and pros
per. Our flag has been carried into
many battles, but never on the side
of conquest. 1t has known grave dan
gers but has been sullied by a
national shame.
Flag Day is celebrated throughout
the country on June IA. In Penns
Pens Grove. however, the High School
Commencement was held on that even
ing, so the Elks held their services
on Wednesday evening so as not to in
terfere with the other important
event.
The exercises opened with "The Star
Spangled Banner by Collins and
Phillips orchestra, of Philadelphia, fol-
lowed with Introductory exercises by
the Exalted Ruler and other officers
of the lodge. Prayer was offered by
Hollis F. Ashcraft and a brief history
of the flag read by Walter Edgar.
Columbia was sung by the Adelphi
quartette, Of Philadelphia. Esquire
D. J. McCloskey and other officers en-
acted the beautiful altar service Of the
order. o
Appropriate addresses were made
by District Deputy Grand Exalted
Ruler R. J. Gillespie, Of M~illville,
Frank J. O'Connor and D. J. McClos-
key, of Penns Grove. The flag was az
inspiration for all the eloquence and
enthusiasm the speakers could COM
mand and they were heartily ap-
plauded.
Aside from the beautiful ceremony
which held the audience in close at
tention. the Adelphi quartette was the
big number of the evening. They are
all fine vocalists, and their humorous
songs, laughable stunts and by-play
kept the audience clamoring for them
time after time.
The stage was prettily decorated
with flags. the Elks colors and ferns.
The setting was that of a lodge of
EIks in session with Exalted Ruler
Charles R. Russell presiding and the
Knights and Esquire at their respec-
tive stations.
This was the first time the Elks
have observed Flag Day, and they are
so well pleased with their ucces that
they have already determined upon q
much more elaborate ceremony next
year.

Eectric Lights Up To Old Tricks

On Saturday afternoon the ELECTRIC
power went out of commission IN
Penns Grove and the town was in com
parative darkness until nine o'clock IN
the evening. Stores and places of
amusement suffered a considerable
loss of business on account of having
no lights. At irregular intervals
every day since the power has slipped
a cog for short periods. What's the
matter? Evidently it was daylight
saving.

In County Olympic Games and
Contests, Six Prizes Come
To Penns Grove

Last Friday, June 10th, was the
greatest W in Salem County Olym-
pic contests between the public school
pupils. The field day was held on du-
Pont Dye Works Athletic Field, on
East Maple Avenue, Penns Grove. 1t
is believed that 5000 persons were
present from all parts of the County.
They came in trolley cars, in automo-
biles and auto trucks by the hundreds.
Then Penns Grove and Calneys Point
have over 1000 school children.
The day was dry and hot with the
temperature at SO in the sun. Many
got burned and tanned and sweat flow
ed from the contestants, all of whom
did nobly, but Penns Grove did the
best.
Penns Grove schools won five Of the
eight pennants and was tie on the
sixth.
AS Penns Grove has no physical in
structor, the teachers have the best
reasons to feel proud of the accom-
plishments from their instructions.
Also the citizens should feel proud of
their teachers as well as the pupils
winning with such zeal and energy.
When one stops to think how many
times the teachers, captains and man
ayers had to give commands before
500 learned so perfectly, it is realized
that there was work as well as pleas
ure. The spirit and energy was not
enough. Back of it were many days
of faithful practice, of time taken
from personal ease and pleasure.

OF NEAR TWO MILLION TONS

tons: for Great Britain, 10000 tons;
for Japan, $4,000 tons.
Limit on Airplane Carriers.
The total tonnage Of airplane car
riers was proposed as follows: For
the United States. $4,000 tons; for
Great Britain. $4,000 tons; for Japan.
$4,000 tons.
In each case it would be provided
that no government whose present
tonnage exceeds the prescribed limit
would be required to scrap such ex-
cess until requirements have begun
Cruisers seventeen years old could
be replaced by new construction.
Similarly. destroyers, flotilla leaders
and submarines could be replaced
when twelve years old and airplane
carriers when twenty years old.
Airplane Program Not Outlined.
Limitation of airplane construction
was not outlined in detail in the
American proposal, but it was declar-
ed in the proposal that since the i'm
portance of the merchant marine Is a
factor in any naval armament pro-
gram, regulations must be provid-
ed" to govern the conversion OF mer-
chant craft for war purposes
Other features of the auxiliary craft
reduction program include:
Exemption from the terms OF the
agreement of existing monitors, un-
armored surface craft under 5000
tons. fuel ships, supply ships, tenders,
repair ships, tugs and mine sweepers.
No Auxiliary Craft.
No new auxiliary combatant craft
could be built. exempt from terms of
the agreement, that exceeded 5000
tons, had a speed of more than fifteen
knots and carried more than four
five-inch guns.
All auxiliary surface craft whose
keels already have been laid could be
carried to completion. Agreement
would be made later for details or
scrapping the ships falling outside
the proposed limitation.

armament. There are certain gen.
eral considerations which may be
deemed pertinent to this subject.
"The first is that the core of
the. difficulty is to be found in the
competition in naval programs,
and that, in order appropriately
to limit naval armament, compe-
tttion In it's production must be
abandoned. Competition will not
be remedied by resolves with re-
spect to the method Of Its con-
tinuance. One program inevitably
leads to another. and II competi-
t1on continues. its regulation is
impracticable. There is only one
adequate way out and that is to
end 1t now.
1T Is apparent that this cannot
be accomplished without serious
sacrifices. Enormous sums have
construction, and building pro-
grams which are now under way
cannot be given up without heavy
loss Yet IL the present construc-
tion of capital ships goes forward
other ships will inevitably be built
to rival them, and this will lead
to still others. Thus the race will
continue so long as ability to con-
tinue lasts. The effort to escape
coSAlASCS 10 1utllS. W lace
them or yield our purpose.
None Should Act Alone.
1T Is also clear that no one of
the naval powers should be ex-
pected to make these sacrifices
alone. The only hope Of limita-
ton Of naval armament Is by
agreement among the nations con-
cerned. and this agreement should
be entirely fair and reasonable in
the extent Of the sacrifices re-
Quired Of each Of the powers.
In considering the basis of such
an agreement, and the commensu-
rate sacrifices to be required, it Is
necessary to have regard to the
existing naval strength Of the
great naval powers. including the
extent of construction already ef-
fected in the case Of ships in
process. This follows from the
fact that one nation is as free to
compete as another, and each may
find grounds for its action. What
one may do another may demand
the opportunity to rival, and we
remain in the thrall Of competitive
effort.
Il may add that the American
delegates are advised by their
naval experts that the tonnage of
capital ships may fairly be taken
to measure the relative strength
Of navies. as the provision for
auxiliary combatant craft should
sustain q reasonable relation to
the capital ship tonnage allowed.
1T would also seem to be a vital
part Of plan for the Limitation Of
naval armament that there should
be q naval holiday. It Is proposed
that for period of not less than
ten years there should be no fur
ther construction Of capital ships.

with the acceptance Of this
plan the burden Of meeting the de-
mands Of competition in naval
armament will be lifted. Enor-
NOUS sums will be released to aid
the progress Of civilization. At
the same time the proper demands
of national defense will be ade-
ouately met and the nations will
have ample opportunity during
the naval holiday of ten years to
consider their future course. Pre-
paration for offensive naval war
will stop now.

liberty to go beyond these general
propositions and, on behalf of the
American delegation acting under
the instructions of the President
of the United States, to submit to
you a concrete proposition for an
agreement for the limitation of
naval armament.
1T should be added that this
proposal Immediately concerns the
United States. In view of the ex-
traordinary conditions due to. the
world war affecting the existing
strength Of the navies Of France
and Italy, it is not thought to be
necessary to discuss at this stage
of the proceedings the tonnage al
lowance of these nations. but the
matter be reserved for the later
consideration of the conference.
I'm making the present proposal
the United States is most solicitous
to deal with the question upon an
entirely reasonable and practicable
basis. to the end that the just
interests Of all shall be adequately
guarded and that national security
and defense shall be maintained.
-Four general principles have been
applied:
"(1) That all capital-ship build
ing programs. either actual or
projected. should be abandoned;
"(2) That further reduction
should be made through the scrap
"ts) That in general regard
should be had to the existing
naval strength Of the powers con-
cerned;
"(4) That the capital ship ton
mage should be used as the meas
urement of strength for navies and
a proportionate allowance of aux
iliary combatant craft prescribed.
