FOR WORLD PARLEY
Secretary Daniels Advises Hard
ing on Disarmament.
Cannot Halt Naval Program
Until Other Nations Halt.
NAVAL HOLIDAY" IDEA
Tells Senate Committee Such
Pact Would Breed War.
Can Only Disarm as League
Member Declares Sec'y Davis.

Washington, Jan. 11-Secretary of
thesNavy Daniels before the house af-
fairs committee today advised Presi-
dent-elect Harding to call a confer
ence of all nations for the conclusion
of an agreement on disarmament.
Harding should strive for such an
agreement" Daniels said, eff the
United States is not at once to become
a member of the League of Nations -
Until that conference secures world
agreement" the secretary added, "let
there be no cessation in building the
snlps already authorized by congress-
All Up to Harding.
Daniels pointed out that under the
naval act of 1915. Harding would
nave the power to invite all the gov
ernments of the world to send repre-
sentatives to a meeting for the con-
slderat1on of disarmament He said
Harding could act on March S, thus
hastening the day when the taxpayers
or TINS country can safely be freed
from great burdens of war prepara-
tion."
President Wilson has not called
such conference, Daniels explained.
because there is provision for disarma.-
ment in the League of Nations and
because the president would natural
ly leave to his successor the choice
=
Daniels declared there were two
courses open to the United States:
l. AID agreement including all the ma
tons for the cutting of armaments,
2. A policy of holding aloof" which
would necessitate a navy equal to that
OF any other country, SO that Am merican
sea power could command the respect
and fear of the world"
Opposes NAVAL Holiday,
Dariels said he opposed the idea of
a naval holiday. asserting that to stop
construction for a limited period, was
like applying poultice when surgery
is required"
A naval holiday between Great
Britain. Japan and the United States
he declared would breed suspicion and
distrust and would neither secure per-
manent reduction of ornaments OF
contribute to lasting world peace.
Daniels cited the proposal made In
1913 by Winston Churchill. then head
of the British admiralty, for a naval
holiday in Europe. saying it failed be-
fore it even started.
'In League or Out'-Davis.
I'VE must have an international
agreement" Daniels concluded, .'or the
United States must build a navy big
enough to make a policy of isolation
safe
Other witnesses before the commit
tee were Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, one OF
the members of the American peace
delegation and former army chief of
staff, and Norman H. Davis, acting
secretary of state.
The League of Nations opened the
way to disarmament, Davis said, but
the league appeared to believe that a
move to disarm was not practical un-
less the United States participated.
1--WE must either be in or out" Davis
said 1--WE can't take a de facto part
in league disarmament"

Last Day of Conferences at Of
flee Gen. C. /. Martin.
lis Officers Here-Annual Ban
quet at C. of C. Tonight.

Styles in warfare change Just as
rapidly as the styles in women's hats.
That and not the factethat Governor
Allen was inaugurated Monday is the
cause of the descent on Topeka of lis
officers of the Fourth regiment of
Kansas infantry and the First regi-
ment of Kansas field artillery, accord
ing to Charles l. Martin, adjutant gem
eral. The officers are attending the
annual National Guard school, which
started at o'clock Monday morning
and is finished this evening at the
Chamber of Commerce with the an
nual banquet of the Kansas National
Guard association, which is composed
of all the commissioned officers of the
Kansas military forces.
The school, is in reality series of
conferences and lectures at which the
leaders of the Kansas guardsmen are
given the very latest in army regula-
ton changes. This year something
new was instituted. All officers were
animation, despite the fact that they
had passed several already this year.
From now on this examination will
become a regular part of the annual
|schedule. The regular army medical
officers who made the examination de-
clare that every officer passed the ex-
animation with flying colors and are
high in their praises of the fine body
of men physically.
This is the first time the new field
artillery officers of the Kansas guard
have attend the school. Because of
the lack of a field artillery unit in To-
peka, it was necessary Monday to i'm
port artillery from Hutchinson to fire
the governors salute at noon The
detachment ordered to fire the salute
by Maj. Guy c. Rexroad of the First
battalion of the First Kansas field ar
tillery, brought one of their guns with
them and tho the men had not as yet
had an opportunity of firing the piece.
they delivered their part of the in
augural ceremonies as If governors
