SMlLIN THRU
BY GEE SEE
FATE

Full oft I've pondered,
Looking back,
With wonder Ger the way I've trod
Amused,
Or with regret
To see the way my fate has led.
But oftener with grateful heart
To see why thus " gone astray-
A by-way here,
A cross-road there,
A path along the rugged steep,
And always leading by a door,
A wounded heart
Or a task to do.
l have not loitered on the way,
No matter where the path has led
Each straying step has recompense
Known only to those other souls
Who went that way before.

Far flung our navies fade
Away
In smoke screens of a hol-

On dune and headland
Sinks the fire
Of armies dead and
Robbed of ire.
Hooted with visibility
Fade in low visibility!
And so,
While on a holiday,
Each foe,
Their smoke screens banned to
save their wealth,
And too,
Disdaining war-like play,
Eschew
Low visibility and stealth,
Fair maids have claimed
These cast-off styles
And aim to keep them green;
Low visibility behind

CAPITAL SHIP
CONTROVERSY
FARLEY DELAY
Modification of Program Rests
With Hughes and
Advisers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE capital
ship controversy, the chief factor of de-
lay in the armament conference, mar
rowed down today to the basic question
of whether the Hughes naval program is
to be accepted as originally laid down
or whether it is susceptible TO slight
notifications. The answer rests with
Hughes and his advisers.
There has been little progress in the
last twentyfour hours. In private con-
versations between members of the big
three-Hughes, BalfOur and Kato-Japan
has informed the United States and Great
Britain that the $50 ratio is acceptable
if she is allowed to retain the Mutsu.
Despite the aversion of both the United
States and Great Britain to modification
of the original Hughes capital ship pro-
gram, japanese circles are confident that
Baron Kato's arguments will prove effec-
tive and that the whole controversy will
be settled by the end of the week with
Japan retaining her priced warship, the
United States retaining either the Wash
ington or the Colorado and Great Britain
given permission to complete one or two
or her super Hoods.
