read the second time Tuesday and
under suspension of the rules put on

motion Of Giu, Of Bookings county,
they amended it to make it 5000 for

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3I.-Total dis

impossible as it is dangerous" Senator
Frank B. Willis, of Ohio, declared to-
night in an address at the convocation
in behalf Of limitation of armament,
under the auspices of the National Re-
form Association.
The Forthcoming conference, Mr..
Willis said, "wiil not undertake the
realization Of such far-off dream, hut
it will succeed in reducing by an
counted billions of dollars the annual
expenditures for armies and navies
and, by so doing, it will have taken a
long step in the direction of world
peace"
Citing statistics purportng to show
that France had 100000 men under
arms and that Japan msintained land
forces, with reserves, aggregating
100000 Senator Willis said it was
difficult to see how France could con-
tinue indefinitely to bear such a bur-
den, while Japan "is headed for bank
ruptcy unless there is an understand
ing looking to limitation of armies and
navies."
"If the world is to live industrially
and morally some way must be found
to make wars less likely" he continued.
"And, if | may properly say it, diff

Washington than that which ruled at
Versailles. At that conference there

Wireless Keeps BRAND
In Touch With Paris

ON BOARD THE STEAMSHIP
LAFAYETTE, Oct. 81 (By Wireless via
Paris To the Associated Press).-
Premier BRAND of France, on his way
to the United States to attend the
Washington conference, is kept con-
stantly informed by wireless of French
domestic affairs and important world
news. A sheaf of messages that had
been decoded during the night was laid
before him this morning: Among them
were some from Toxic, London, Wash
ington and Peking, retransmitted by
the French Foreign Office.
The, military section Of the delega-
tion, headed by Major General Buat,
and the naval section, under Vice
Admiral De Bon, are working apart
upon documents which will be sub
mitted in due course to the armament
conference. Both sections have brought
quantities of material, reltaing not
only to France, but to the navies and
armies of other countries.
In his hours of recreation, M. BRAND
moves freely about the decks and
through the saloons and smoking room,
talking with members of the deleea
tlon. newspaper correspondents and
such passengers Is may be presented
to him. The social life aboard the ship
is much like that Of a large yachting
party, more than half of the 1877 first

her husband, is the only woman in the

rushed at Lieutenant Woodfll, who at
tempted to club the orncer with his
rife. After hand-to-nand struggle
Lieutenant Woodfll killed the officer
with his pistol. His company there
upon continued to advance until SHORTLY
afterward another machine gun nest
was encountered.
"Calling on his men to follow, Z eu-
tenant Woodfll rushed ahead of his
line in the face of heavy fire from
the nest, and when several of the
enemy appeared above the nest he shot
them, capturing three other members
of the crew and silencing the gun. A
few minutes later this officer for the
third time demonstrated conspicuous
daring by charging another machine
gun position, killing FIVE men in one
machine gun pit with his rife. He
then drew his revolver and started to
jump into the pit when two other
gunners, only few yards away, turned
their gun on him.
Failing to kill them with his re-
volver, he grabbed pick lying near
by and killed both of them. Inspired
by the exceptional courage displayed by
this officer, his men pressed on to their
objective under severe shell and ma
chine gun fire.
For this act of heroism Woodfill was
promoted to captaincy and, in addi-
tion to the Congressional Medal, was
awarded the Legion of Honor (cava-

"To pronounce such a land uncon-
querable is to utter the merest truism.
No, America does not fear war: she
simply hates it. But the security of
the United States does not rest upon
her physical resources alone Her
moral position is impregnable. Not
only will she never seek additional
territory by conquest; she would not
accept it as gift. Within her borders
lie unoccupied lands sufficient to sus-
tain population treble that which she
now has. Well, indeed, may she rest
content-a friend to all nations, and, so
far as her people are aware, without an
enemy in the world.
"The coming conference, therefore.
presages no arbitrament of the sword.
It is an ordeal not Of battle, but Of
faith"
Discussing the argument in Congress
whether the army should comprise
100000 or 10000 men, Ambassador
Harvey repeated the observation of a
British statesman that "it's only excess
is in it's moderation" He recalled the
embarkation of America during the war
on naval program designed to make
oil fn hot of
any other power, and continued:
"There was no criticism of that pru-
dent action then. That program was
in process of execution in the early
part of the present year. Suddenly
there came a change. The President
announced his intention of calling a
| conference. Practically simultaneous
ly, at the instigation of the President,
Congress reduced the normal appro-
priation from $184,000,00O to S90,0O0,-
900, which, taking into account the in
creased costs of labor and materials,
represented barely 40 per cent of the
sum which ordinarily would be allot-
ted. In consequence the present rate
of naval construction is about 40 per
cent of the normal"

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.--The rank of
ambassador was given to-day to the
tour American delegates appointed by
president Harding to the Forthcoming
conference on Limitation of Armament
and Pacific and Far Eastern questions.
1t was explained by Under Secretary

moving Langley, which could not pos-
slbly keep up with fleet.
Assuming, of course, the Pacific and
Far Eastern questions are adjusted
satisfactorily, there is a general ex-
pectancy that an agreement on some
plan for reducing expenditures for
naval armaments will be attained.
There are only a limited number OF
plans which are possible. The two
schemes which have been most dis
cussed are what might be termed the
gross sum plan and the ship unit plan.
r. On the gross sum the nations would
agree that each would not spend more
than given amount of money to be
agreed on for naval bailding, or per-
haps for the maintenance and building
of her navy. The sum might or might
not be the same for each country. 1t
would be entirely possible that the
United States might be allowed to
spend considerably more. This differ
entail could be based either on the
additional cost of building in the
United States on account of higher
wages, or, with regard to japan for
of maintaining the present feet pro-
portions.
The comparative ship unit plan
would be even simpler. 1t would set
forth certain strength which should
be maintained as to numbers of dread
noughts, cruisers, submarines, air.
plane carriers and so forth.
Under either plan, the complaining
naval officers point out, the United
States is certain to get what they re-
gard as much the worst of it because
OF the exaggerated Importance which
the American naval advisers attach to
the big dreadnought and the compara-
lively small Importance which they at
tach to the submarine and the airplane.
For no one supposes that the same rel
ative strength would be applied to each
class of vessels. There would be sep
arate agreement. it is thought, prosid-
ing this plan should be adopted, as to
each class of ships.
The fact that the chief thought under
lying the whole conference is with re-
gard to the Pacific Ocean makes the
protesting officers all the more appre-
heAsive. For, they point out, the Phil
ippines and Guam can be defended, as
they view it, only with submarines and
aircraft, while the men who are advis-
ing tire American delegation as to naval
armament are the men who insisted
upon Congress this year voting hun
dreds of millions to continue the build
ing of the 1916, program of battle
ships, instead of being willing to shelve
this in order to get airplane carriers
and more planes and submarines.
The American "Big Four will meet
again tomorrow afternoon with it's
naval advisers, but the mere fact that
there has been no apparent final agree
ment SO far does not particularly
hearten the naval officers who are per-
turbed over the situation. They point
to the record Of this year, especially to
the failure of the Navy Department to
be convinced by the bombing tests, and
charge that it is impossible to convince
