Senators Voice Indignation Over
Worst Trouble of Kind in

A combination OF inefficiency is to
blame for the traffic jam at the High
way bridge yesterday. according TO
officials who were caught in the Jam
and had several hours in which to con-
slider the causes for the affair
The jam. which was the worst in

a lesser investigation will be made by

the conditions that existed at the
Highway bridge, and II he does not TO
make an investigation and report"
Police officials are inclined to lay
the blame on the War Department,
saying that the cause OF the trouble
was the inefficient handling of the
crowds at Arlington Cemetery. The
army officers lay the blame to the
District policemen who, they say, fell
down on the job, and were idly ogiing
the crowd on Pennsylvania avenue

address you as the spokesmen for
nations whose convictions and at

do with the veal or woe of all
mankind.
1t is not possible to overappraise
the importance of such n confer.

that the conclusions of this body

for a clearer understanding that may
prevent it's being again set aflame by
war. And out of this gathering the
President voiced the hope would come
those very things.
Perhaps never before in the world 3
history has there been a parlcy OF the
worlds leading statesmen with so lit
tie ostentation and show, so little flow
cry expression and trappings OF gran
deur and rank.
The worlds foremost staesmen sat
around the green-covered table in
much the same manner that a board OF
directors would sit around a table in
the offices of some great American
corporation. The Presidents speech
was short, terse, and to the point, not
unlike that of the chairman of such
board.
only the bright-colored flags, the
hundreds of newspaper correspondents
from all parts of the world, and the
crowded expectant galleries marked
this as one of the most. II not the

Came Like a Bomb Shell.

The American proposal would leave
the navies of the world in relatively
the same position they now hold,
namely. Great Britain first, United
States slightly behind her, and Japan
occupying third place.
In capital ships alone, Great Britain
would be more than 100000 tons in
excess Of the United States, while
Japan would be about zoe, 900 tons be-
hind the United States.
In auxiliary craft, however. Great
Britain and United States would be of
equal strength, while Japan will be
considerably behind.
Secretary Hughes proposal applied
only to the United States, Great
Britain. and Japan, the Secretary
stating that owing to the peculiar
position OF France and Italy due to
the world war, those nations would be

SO the world expresses its sense
that in the great war the only hero
was the common man. Poor Hans
and poor Ivan lie rotting yet un-
der the soil of hundred battle
fields, bones and decay, rags of
soiled uniform and fragments of
acco outrements, still waiting for
monuments and speeches. Yet
they, too, were rAothers' sons, kept
step, obeyed orders, went singing
into battle and knew the strange
intoxication Of soldierly fellowship
and the sense Of devotion TO some
thing much greater than them

United States" the President contin-
ued. Our hundred millions frankly
want less of armament and none of
war. Wholly free from guile, sure in
our minds that we harbor no un.
worthy designs, we accredit the world
with the same good intent"
The President voiced both a hope
and a warning in his brief address
a hope that out of this conference may
come international peace and a better
understanding among nations, and a
warning that these things can not be
accomplished by the secret intrigue
that has defeated the aims of so many
international gatherings.
This is not to be done in intrigue, -
he said earnestly. Greater assurance
is found in exchanges of simple hon
esty and directness."

considered by the conference at a
later date.
Americas Proposals.
What America proposed was briefly
this:
/. Complete abandonment of all
capital ships now building or con-
templated.
2. This would mean scrapping all
of Americas 1916 program, which Is
not yet completed; Japan's famous
eight-and-eight program, and Great
Britain's program of four new super
Hoods.
3. This program would cost the
United States about $3.50, 900. .001.
4. Scrap all older vessels beyond
certain classes.
S. Great Britain, Japan and the
United States to agree not to replace
any of the ships they keep within ten
years-in effect, ten-year naval holi-
day.
3. That WREN requirements begin
at the end OF ten years. no ship be
built Of over $4,000 tons.
Would Keep Ships 20 Years.
I. That, subject to the ten.year
limitation, ships left should be con-
sidered fit for replacement at the
end of twenty years.
8. The powers are to inform each
other upon completion of the scrap
ping" and also as to requirements.
2. Secretary Hughes made no spe-
cific recommendations concerning
merchant marine, but said that this
subject also had to be considered.
The naval armament limitation
proposals made by Mr.. Hughes in his
address were as follows:
''The United States proposes ;he
following plan for a Limitation OF the
naval ornaments of the comforting
nations. The United States believes
that this plan safely guards the In
terests Of all concernde.
I'm working out this proposal the
United States has been guided Ly
four general principles:
''(@ The elimination Of all capital
ship building programs. either actual
or projected.
Would Scrap Older Ships.
"Cb) Further reduction through the
scrapping of certain Of the older
ships.
"(c) That regard should be had to
