DISARMAMENT IS

If this is 6one-and America has

of a ripping West Virginia noun
tain brook, munched sandwiches,
frizzled bacon and talked about dis
armament, prosperity and golf.
They issued warning that Pres
ident Harding must look out for

The enemies Of disarmament, they
said, already are busy.
The conclusion was that the sue
cess Of the conference depends upon
the foresight, courage and determi-
nation Of the president.
Six cars and two trucks of Amer

were stretched down a country lane.
At the improvised camp stove, Fish

nent wave in another batch Of ba-
con and the aromatic smoke of the
camp fire drifted over the heads Of
the party as they talked.
Mr.. Edison leaned against the side
of his car; Mr.. Firestone sat upon
the running board; Mr.. Ford, as vital
and as eager as boy of ten, his coat
and hat off, his mop Of fine white
hair thrown back from his we'll
tanned forehead, moved restlessly
about; some times reclining upon the
ground, picking at the grass, or, if
stirred by the talk, springing to his
feet, making his point and then drop
ping to the ground again.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.-Oppo-

keynote of the knights of Columbus
annual convention opening here to-

address of Supreme Knight James
A. Flaherty. Mr.. Flaherty denounc-
ed what he termed professional
purveyors of prejudice" whom he
charged with seeking to divide
American citizens into classes and
to create suspicious and distrust.
Mr.. Flaherty's address drew at
tention to the widespread circula-
tion Of an oath attributed to the
fourth degree members of the
knights of Columbus. which was
characterized as a "viIe invention"
This OATH" he declared 'is i'm
possible and ridiculous on it's face,
but it now is being circulated by
millions Of copies through the coun-
try, bearing the imprint Of the Con-
gressional Record, because, by acct
dent, it appeared as an exhibit in
the proceedings of congress.
For the first time in the history
Of the knights of Columbus, at this
convention we take occasion to ask
press and public TO make known as
widely as possible the real obliga-
ton taken by all Knights Of Column
bus:
"'I swear to support the consti-
tuition of the United States. I pledge
myself as citizen and Knight of
Columbus to enlighten myself fully
on my duties as a citizen and to
conscientiouscly perform such du-
ties entirely in the, interest Of my
country and regardless of personal
consequences. I pledge myself to
do all in my power to preserve the
integrity and purity of the ballot and
to promote reverence and respect
for law and order I promise to
practice my religion openly and con-
sistently, but without ostentation,
and so conduct myself in public aft
fairs as to reflect nothing but cred
it upon our holy church to this end,
that she may flourish and our coun-
try prosper to the greater honor
and glory of Cod"
