PRESIDENT HIBBEN's ADDRESS
 AT OPENING OF PRINCETON

Princeton, N. J., Oct. "A strong plea to the students of American univer- sities to take firm stand for world disarmament and to form an undergrad uate association to further the work of the conference for the limitation of armaments at Washington was made here today by President John Grier Hib ben of Princeton university in the open ing sermon of the school year.
 Declaring that the peace of the world and the continued progress of civilization rests upon the outcome of the Washing ton conference, President Hibben urged Princeton to lead the way and show the other American universities how the ma tions young men can create conditions which will tend to make war an un- thinkable thing"
 T may be wrong" he said, but it seems to me that there is general atti- tude of the American people towards this conference at Washington which ex- presses itself in sort of cynical pessis- ism, that the conference is inevitably diplomatic futility.
 There is hope, however, if the con- 1 science of America is awakened. | "The conference at Washington is big with possibilities both for the present and i future ts decisions largely depend upon 1 whether America takes q decided and in- sstent stand for reduction of armaments and si willing to lead the way. America 1 decision can be determined now, as i1 l the past, if the people speak and urge with importunate demand what they al desire but so far have only feebly ex. pressed.
 "The one thing that will awaken tht conscience of America is the united voice 1 of the young men of our land-the mel | who would be the first to volunteer anC do their part if war should ever come upon us, but who can be as equally de termined to do their part now in ordel | to remove those present conditions whicl make war inevitable.
 T feel that this is particularly true 0 the young men in our universities.
 wish to urge upon your serious consid eration, therefore. the possibility of or ganiZing a movement here which, witt the cooperation the representa- tiVes O other universities throughout our coun try, might give expression to the convic tions upon this subject which I am sur you must hold.
 Princeton is in a position to take tn lead without being misunderstood Gu record in the movement for preparedness and actual participation in the world wa makes our stand for peace all the nor powerful. Then the price of peace wa war, and we had to pay the price with out thought either of the present or tn future.
 There is now a call for the sam spirit of preparedness for peace and nc for conflict, a preparedness that wi create national and international condi
 tions which will tend to make war a unthinkable thing"

The route | along Broadway was lined with plain clothes men. while other, attachments l accompanied each truck oh its journey l Only two boxes of securities were placed i on one truck for each trin, which made
 the task an all day job. Each box was double locked and was checked three times over the short route.

TO ASK PROTECTION FOR
 IMPRISONED MINERS IN ". VA.


 Indianapolis, Ind, Oct 2.-Bearing an appeal from the union coal miners of the country, Q committee appointed at the convention of the United Mine Work CTS of America left here tonight for Washing ton to ask President Harding to give protection to 13S miners who are state prisoners in West Virginia jails. The committee was said to have no speci- fic plan to suggest to the president, but it was pointed out that federal troops are in Mingo and Logan counties, which were the the seat of the recent mine war
 Besides being authorized to give in- formation directly to President Harding, the committee had a written message from President John L. Lewis of the union, who said it explained the West Virginia situation wits view of show ing that the lives of the prisoners are in jeopardy and that protection cannot be expected from state officials. MT Lewis declined to make his message pub- lie, but among other things it was un- derstood to have alleged that Dan Crafin sheriff of Logan countyhad visited the Mingo county jail and taunted the pris- oners with suggestions om an attempt to break jail.
 Many of the prisoners are charged with murder among these being c. F. Keeney and Fred Mooney, president and sec retary respectively of the miners union Others are said to be held on less seri. ous offenses but all are said to be held as result of the trouble growing out of the miners union effort to organize the southern West Virginia coal fields.

France is far ahead among nations not distressed by civil strife. The French army strength is placed at 1,03s.- OGO men. the British Empire standing next with 740,500 and Germany last with 100. 900. The United States stands thir- teenth with 1sa,O00 men in the regular army. exceeding only Germany, while Italy has 350,00O and Japan 300,000 ac- tive troops.

 In considering problems connected with q l ashore. it is to be assumed, however. that | the Washington conferees will, if neces- | sary, take into consideration many fac l tors. Reserve systems, the extent 10 which reserves have been organized for | quick mobilization and the degree of training they have received would be re- viewed
 Infmany countries some form of uni versal military service obligation rests upon the male population. Japan, Italy ] France, Greece. CZecho-Slovakia, Pc

 Tie United States has at present noth

 hind the regular army except the na

 One thing clearly established by thes figures, military experts said, was tha the United States alone among the victo nations in the war seems to have com
 pletely demobiized. The regular army tc
 day is little stronger in numbers than
 was before the mobilization in 1917. Tn national guard, due to reorganization aft CT the war, is actually weaker.

MAKING EFFORT TO SAVE
 MURDERER OF HER SON

Ossining, N. Y, Oct. 2.-Assert:ng her belief in the innocesce of Rutgar Warder, convicted of the murder of her son, Mrs Linus Werner of Ilion is making every effort to save Warder from the death hair.
 Mrs. Werner said things she has learn- ed since her sons death make her be- lieve Ward6r guiltless. Warder and the wife of the dead man were implicated in the murder. Warder protested his inno- cence. After his conviction the younger Mrs. Werner was placed on trial Warder testified that she had killed her husband but she was acquitted.
 Mrs. Werner, who is 60 years old, re- fused to disclose the nature of the new evidence which she said she was going to give to an attorney to bring before the courts in an endeavor to free Warder Neither would she disclose the where abouts of her daughter-in-law. She said that while her appeal for Warder might appear unusual, she was so certain there had been miscarriage of justice that she intended to do all she could to bring about his release.
