= WASHINGTON, Nov. IL. - The
opening of the conference could not
have been more impressive.
While the burial of the unknown
soldier yesterday was not strictly a
part of the disarmament conference,
it brought together all of the prin.
cipal delegates. The Presidents
speech was almost entirely devoted
to the subject which calls the con
ference together.
II all the peace advocates of the world
had joined in planning a service which
would portray the awfulHess of war and
proclaim the glories of peace they would
not have conceived such n compelling
scene as that upon which the conference
looked on Armistice day.
An air of solemnity pervaded the am
phitheater Seldom have so many peo-
pie assembled, listened and dispersed so
silently The religious element combined
with the spirit of patriotism inspired
n feeling If worship and conservation.
The delegates, present, who attended to-
days opening session of the conference,
cannot but have been profoundly i'm
pressed and moved by the spectacle.
The stiffness was profound.
The President. think, rose TO the
lofty requirements of the extraordinary
occasion. In thought. in expression and
in delivery. he surpassed all of his pre-
vious efforts Only n great occasion calls
for that great speech. He is not likely
to go beyond the record-of that day.
Several of his sentences will live One,

his ebbing blood would color the stream
Of life and another, Burial here is
rather more than sign of governments s
favor-it Is a suggestion of a tomb in the
heart of nation. sOrrowing oraltg~sBob1s

of American eloquence.
MILLIONS OF UNKNOWNS
HAVE BEEN SACRIFICED.
No commanding officer and no soldier
whose name was known could so fitting
Iy receive the nations homage or plead
so eloquently against the carnage of the
battle field. From the beginning of his
tory myriads of unknowns have been Of
fered on the altar Of Mars, and Of millions
more who, for fieeting day were known
by name and loved by friends, no rec
ord remains. Their blood pleads pite.
Ously for peace; their sacrifices have pur-
chased for posterity release from bond
age to the barbarism of war All Of the
noble dead join in the petition presented
by the living that the conference now in
session lead the world to peace through
universal disarmament.-COpy 1921,

Prayer Opening
Arms Conference

The prayer opening the conference 10
lows:
Almighty God. we thank Thee
for the coming OF this eventful day.
We have seen 1t from afnr and now
we rejoice that il has at last dawned.
May II bring untold blessing to
troubled world. o, Thou Omnipotent
One today as in other days we be-
Ilsve that Thou dOst guide in human
affairs. Thou hast made of one blood
all nations that dwell upon the earth
and though we are of many races
and many tongues, yet the interests
of the few are the interests of the
larger number. May we feel assured
that the welfare and happiness and
prosperity of the human family arc
inexpressibly dear to Thy heart.
We pray for clear vision or we shall
grOpe blindIy for the light and lOhe
our way. We pray for hearts low
ingly sympathetic to human distress
wherever 1t may exist or we shall
sink into the depths of miserable
selflshness. We pray for minds will
Ing to believe that the strong ought
to bear the infirmaties of the weak
or we shall miss the great joy of
service. Give us the ability TO think
clearly; to judge fairly, to act wisely
Help us to think less often of our
rights and more often of our duties
and responsibilities.
We pray at this hour on behalf of
world in sore need. Thou art not
unmindful of the sufTerinGs of Thy
people. The cries of multitudes of
widows and orphans have come up
before Thee, God. We have had
our terrible baptism of blood. There
is hunger and pestilence and unutter-
able anguish. God forbid that the
wars of these years should ever again
he visited upon the earth Can 1t be
that Thou hast permitted us thus to
suffer in order that we might turn
from our own devices to Thee and
acknowledge Thee as king of our lives
and ruler of our destinies? Out of
the depths we cry unto Thee. Save
us or we perish.
May we walk softly and humbly be-
fore Thee this day and throughout
the fatefuI days of this great confer
ence. May we be intent on knowing
Thy will. and knowing it, may we
have the courage to do 1T. And grant,
God, that the findings of this con-
ference shall be wise, so far-reach-
ing and so beneficial that al mankind
may take new hope and fresh courage.
and to Thee shall be the praise and
glory forever and forever. Amen.

BY FRANK CHARLTON.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-America
took active leadership today in the first
world movement in history for the
elimination of international menaces that
threaten civilization with future war. Re
duced to simple terms, the United States
seeks:
First To prevent competition
among the great powers in the con-
struction of war machinery-naval,
land and air.
Second-To remove sources of inter
national friction in the Pacific Ocean
that may lead to future conflict.
Recognizing the general behef that the
Far East is the new danger spot, America
has sought the cooperation of eight other
powers with vital powers in the Orient
to allay the danger of next world war.
RELIEF FROM DEBT
BURDEN ALSO ISSUE.
This generally is regarded as the
greatest humanitarian crusade in the
history of mankind But it is also a
practical scheme for material relief from
the overwhelming burden OF taxation and
debt. A

America Takes Leadership
in Movement to Allay ALI
Danger of a World War

In no sense is the conference a peace
parley as the world has known peace
parIeys in the past. There is no enemy
to be punished; no new frontier align
ments to be worked out; no spoils of
war to be parcelled and no new alliances
to be contracted with a view to future
military cooperation. 1t was called pri-
marily to tighten the burden Of war
weary world and to prevent such bur-
dens from being imposed il the future.
DIPLOMATIC procedure viii De followed,
however.
The committees will meet behind closed
doors, but the American Government is
determined that no secret diplomatic
agreements shall creep in, The final de-
cisions finally will be made known to
the whole world. English will be the
official language.
The agenda, or. official program of
matters to be considered covers tre

If you can't get on one way try an

the hundreds who hope TO get on the
police and fire department when Samuel

rush of men and women to the office
of the board Of public safety today to
get application blanks for appointment
as fremen or policemen would indicate
this to be true.
Homer Barton, clerk of the board of
public safety, reported that approximate
ly twenty pereOns, four of whom were
women, asked for blanks during the
morning. The Office closes at noon on
