OBSERVES
ARMISTICE DAY
Service at the Soldiers
Memorial Conducted by.
w. r. Knapp Post

Beneath leaden skies and stand
ing in three inches of snow the
people of st Johnsbury fittingly
observed Armistice day in an i'm
pressive ceremony at the Soldiers
Memorial Tablet in Court House
square Friday morning. The ex-
ercises were in charge of w. H.
Knapp Post, No So. American
Legion, anl the guests of honor
| were the Grand Army, veterans
members of the Elks lodge and
the Commercial Club Harold G
Powell presided. The service OPP
ened with the reading of the Pres
ident's PROCLAMATION by Lieut.
Jutten Longmoore. This was fol
! lowed by an excellent address by
Pricipal T. H. Wilson of the Acad-
emv which here follows:
The conference on the limitation
of ornaments which President
Harding called for today and
which will commence its delibera-
tions tomorrow is perhaps one
of the greatest forward steps
which humanity has yet taken. In
it's far reaching effects | believe
this conference is of great sipnl-
fcance than the gathering at Yer
TTreaty by which the World War
was formally recognized as ended.
There appears to be one and
only one purposein calling this
conference-to make another war
improbable to reduce the likeli-
hood of any recurrence of the
ghastly horrors to which humanity
was recently subjected. This is
the purpose which evidently actu-
ated President Harding and his
advisers in inviting some of the
nations to confer together in
Washington.
In his call for this conference,
the President wisely limited the
number of topics for discussion to
the two subjects which have great
est and most direct bearing on the'
entire question of war. The first
deals with armies and navies. The
second deals with points of fric-
ton between nations.
The President and his advisers,
as well as the leading statesmen
and the thinking public of all ma
tons, see very cleary that if the
world is to be spared the agony
of war nations must stop prcpar-
ing for war and thew must endeav
or to settle any differences which
arise between them by amicable,
agreement in conference rather
than by resort to armed force.
First, they must agree not to de-
velop huge armies and giant
navies. Second, they must talk
over their points of friction and
dispassionately and good natured-
ly settle thier differences without
coming to death grapple. Both
points are clear. Both are based
on the unmistakable teachings Of
history. Ever increasing armies
and navies ultimatel yresult in
war. This fact has been demon
strated by every nation which has
ever followed the policy of pre-

SAYS FORTUNES OF
WORLD AT STAKE

WASHINGTON Nov. 12-With
the chosen representative of nine
nations gathered about him Pres
ident Harding today opened the
conference on limitation of arma-
ment. He read his speech slowly
and deliberately from small print
ing which he held in the hollow OF
his left hand. With his right he
punctuated his statements with
driving gestures. The first ap-
plause came when the president
declared that the conference must
have "signal influence 'on the
fortunes Of the world.
There was more applause when
he asked how civilization even
could justify the destruction of
the last Great war. Still again he
was answered by loud clapping
when he said "war should be out
lawed and the resources of the
world turned into constructive
channels.
