THURSDAY, NOVEMBER "a, 1921 !.
THANKSGIVING DAY, 1921.

There is cause for thankfulness in
the fact that the world is advancing,
and that the visions of yesterday are
becoming the realities of today. In
ventions and discoveries are multi
plying. The air is being traversed
as never before, and as one has said
'tevery day brings some new discov-
cry of air conquest" Conversation
is being carried on by wireless by and
between people separated by thous-
apds of miles of land and seas And
above all, the ties of human brother
hood and sisterhood are being daily
STRENGTHENED. Nations are meeting
in conference, hoping, working ana
Draying for disarmament, that war
may be no more. Christian commun-
ions are being drawn closer to each
other in faith and social service. In
the immediate past, reforms have
been brought about that were scarce
ly dreamed of a few years ago. Wom-
an has come to her own in the right
of citizenship. The IQuor traffic,
which has caused more misery than
war, .pestilence and famine, has been
checked by a constitutional amend
ment which makes its revival an i'm
possibility In all these accomplish
ments, and many more, there is for
forward looking men and women
great cause to give God thanks. The
Battle Hymn of the Republic is as
timely now as when it was written:
,'fIe has sounded forth the trumpet that
shall never cali Tetreat:
He is sitting out the hearts of men before
His judgment seat.
%, be swift, my soul, to answer Him; be
jubilant my feet.
Our God is marchiag on!

IAPAN'S SPOKESMAN BALKS
AT HUGHES NAVY CUT
Baron Kato Says Plan Accepted Only
as Basis for Discussion
Gets Delay.

Washington, Nov. 18.-Admira1 Bar
ION Kato, on behalf Of the Japanese
delegation 10 the Washington confer
ence, asked and received from the
heads of the delegations OF the nine
participating powers delay of several
days to allow examination of the Far
Eastern proposals submitted by China.
Japan's delegates to the ,ar1ns con-
ference believe that their country
should maintain navy slightly greater
than 60 per cent Of that maintained
by Great Britain and the United
States, Baron Kato announced.
Baron Kato made the following
statement:
Because of her geographical posi-
tion, Japan deems it only fair at the
present time that other interested
countries agree that she maintain a
program in general tonnage slightly
greater than the 60 per cent, and, in a
type of vessel strictly defensive in
character, she might desire even to
approach that of greater navies."
Asked If Japan had not announced
to the conference that she accepted the
Hughes program of naval limitation,
Kato said that Japan had accepted the
Hughes proposals as basis OF dis
cussion.
In regard to the type Of vessel ia
pan has decided upon as defensive"
arm, Kato said that these ships had
been selected by the committees work
ing upon this problem, but that the
names Of the vessels in question are
not to be discussed at this time.
