HAND-HARDING
World May Never See Time When
Armed Forces VIII Be Unnecessary,
War College Is Told.

Washington, Sept /. - President
Harding, speaking today at the open
ing Of the fall term of the Army War
College, declared that mo matter
where the best aspirations Of the
world lead US, there never may be a
time without the necessity for armed
forces"
The President in his brief address,
however, pledged the 200 officers in his
audience that during his administra-
ton they would never be called to per-
form military duties "They could not
enter into with all their heart and soul
as Americans"
Referring to the situation in the
West Virginia fields, the President de-
clared:
1--WE ought not to have conflict like
that which is going on in West Vir-
ginit. 1t is due to lack of understand
ing"
Mr.. Harding said there were "two
relative essentials to the civilization to
which we all aspire. Ore is an under
standing in the home, and the other is
an understanding between the nations.
81 wish with all my heart" he add
ed, that there will be less of armies
and navies."

CURIOS WORTH FORTUNE
STOLEN FROM PESUITS.

Baltimore, Md. - The museum OF
ecclesiastical curios collected over a
period of scores Of years by Jesuit
priests and located on the Fourth floor
Of Loyola college. was burglarized and
hundreds of ancient and modern curios
comprising one Of the most valuable
exhibits in the country, If not in the
world, were stolen. 80
The theft was reported by the Rev.
Joseph McEneaney, president Of the
college.
While the face value of the coins is
in itself great, the worth Of the collec-
ton from numismatic standpoint will
run into thousands Of dollars.
The theft was apparently perpetrat-
ed by persons knowing the value Of
the collection above the face coinage
Of its hundreds of units. Nothing else
in the museum was touched.
