LIMIT NAVlES
ARMIES STAND
PASS FAR EAST
These Seem to Be Pos
sible Conclusions of
Conference
rAssociated Press1

Washington, Nov. 22.-Opinions
have been exchanged by arms dele
gates with such unprecedented direct
ness that with the conference only
ten days old some experienced dipio-
mats here believe they can see almost
with precision what it will and Will
not be possible to accomplish.
With heads of American, British
and Japanese delegations working In
direct conference almost daily on
naval reductions there are indications
that an agreement on all but details
is near at hand. In the same way
readiness of all nations to commit
themselves to general principles re-
lating to the Far East and the out
spoken objection Of Japan to discuss
ing details of that situation seem to
have quickened the conviction that
adoption of set principles like the four
agreed upon yesterday will be the
outcome Of the Far Eastern end OF the
negotiations.
In addition the whole question OF
land armament appears to have been
pretty well settled by the frank pre-
sentation of France, delivered in yes
etrday's pleanary session by Premier
BRAND. AL present indications point
to an "understanding" and gentle
mems agreemnet that a treaty Is the
form to be taken by the final Far
Eastern agreement.
Consideration of the Chinese as
poets Of the Far Eastern problem was
continued at the meeting at the
Washington conference committee
and it was decided to appoint a SUBJ
committee to study Chinese fiscal af-
fairs.
No additional resolutions regarding
policies affecting China were adopted
today and further consideration OF
Chinese problems was postponed un-
til tomorrow afternoon. The sub
committee which was proposed by
Senator Underwood Of the American
delegation will take up the Chinese
request for tariff autonomy.

NEED NEW MACHINERY
Or Oil Wells in Baker District Must
Shut Down
rAssociated Proes1

Baku, Azerbaijan, Nov. 22.-With-
in six months the oil fields, lying
within a few miles of this city and
once counted among the richest petro-
leum wells in the world, will have
ceased to produce, according to expert
opinion, unless new machinery and
better and more workmen are obtain
ed.
This condition is acutely realized
by the local Azerbaijan government
which is controlled by Moscow. II
the oil is not forthcoming, this Will
mean the stopping Of the oil-burning
steamers of the Caspian Sea- several
hundred in number, the 1000 or more
tugboats and steamers Of the Volga
still in repair and the oil-burning To-
comotives of the entire railway sys-
tenn of greater Russia.

REV. DAVID TOWNLEY
Pastor Presbyterian Church

As the season of Thanksgiv-
ing approaches, several reasons
for gratitude suggest themselves
to us. We should be especially
thankful at this time.
First, for the new spirit that

bringing statesmen together in
conference for the consideration
of a program having for its
avowed purpose the ultimate
abolition Of war; the fostering
and development of peaceful
pursuits, and the cultivation OF
international friendship a q
human brotherhood.
Second, for the fact that Am
erica has taken the initiative In
this epoch making event; Tor
the frank and candid manner IN
which her policy has been
stated, calling forth the admir-
alton Of waiting world.
Third, for every movement
that is placing the emphasis on
service rather than self, recog
nizing the principle, HE Pro-
fits Most Who Serves Best.

THE WAY OF LIFE
IS CLEAR FOR ALL
REV. C. W. MAGGART, D. D.
Pastor Lutheran Church

Pastor Lutheran Churcn
why should we be thankful?
Because in these pinched
times Kansas has a better quail
ity of prosperity than most
states.
Because even though we have
failed God in our affairs in by
gone days, God has not failed
us. Nor will He. His prOtec-
ton has never been better.
Mans skill has been preserved
and his labors have been blest.
Because the Great Father
continues to show the way OF
life for time and eternity, and
offers divine grace suited to and
sufficient for every need OF the
soul. He alone holds ajar the
door of highest happiness for
all men. His bidding welcome
dare not be refused. Justice
would. close the door but mercy
holds it open.
While in the days gone by
we have nurtured prejudice and
hatred, the times look ominous
for ushering in again an era OF
goodwill, peace and prosperity.
Let us give thanks!
