Great Britain had had powerful influence in
bringing the conference about Seven years
previously Lord Salisbury then Premier, had
sent Germany note, the first Of many OH the
same subject, suggesting that some way be
found to stop the naval competition. 1t was
not until 1896 that this spirit in favor Of dis
armament grew strong enough in Great Brit
ain to influence other nations, for it was in
that year that the Gar was induced to take
the matter under considerations 1t took two
years to bring him to assume positive atti-
Jude toward the problem and to call the

When the conference gathered on Nav Is.
1899, Germanys opposition, backed by Aus
trlas, was most pronounced, and even threat
ened on one or two occasions to disrupt the
deliberations. Kaiser Wilhelm had given the
meeting an ironica sendoff by declaring in one
of his speeches that the best assurance of
peace was the sharp, cleaning sword"
The Gar proposed to the conference that

maintained at their present peace basis for five
years and that no military expenditures
should be increased for the ensuing five years.
Germany categoricay rejected the idea as i'm
possible. Leon Bourgeois, of the French dele
cation and to-day still leading Continental
figure in disarmament considerations, framed
the spineless resolution which was the best that
could be forced through the conference 1t
read:
"The conference is of the opinion that the
restriction of military charges, which are at
present heavy burden the world is ex-
tremely desirable for the increase of the ma
terlal and moral welfare of mankind
The conference expresses the wish that the
governments, taking into consideration the
proposals made at the conference, may ex-
anime the possibility of an agreement as to the
limitation of armed forces by land and sea and
of war budgets"
These finely worded phrases, of course led
to nothing except to disappointment on the
part of the peace advocates Great Britain
alone took up the burden of trying to bring
about through diplomatic correspondence and

r" HE American proposal for limitation of
armaments is but one more step in
consistent policy that the United
States has fostered for more than a
century. The Harding move is the first since
the close of "the war to end wars" that really
gives promise of results, but as an interna-
tional proposition disarmament was not in
vented by either President Harding or Secre-
tary Hughes. In American experience it is
104 years old, and its introduction in the pres
ent situation purely the result of the de-
termination of American leaders to counter an
impossible European diplomacy with plan
that could not be refused. Secretary Hughes
sprang century old piece of strategy, using
Rooseveltian shirtseevery to outlaw secret
agreements.
The United States, never beaten in war. is
now to be defeated in peace. The American
sure cure for war was born in 1917 At the
close of the War of 1912 with Great Britain
there definite peace. The British,
chagrined by their disaster, planning re-
venge. They foresaw the time when Canada
would be the concentration point of British
armies and the Great Lakes the rendezvous of
fleets that would crush the United States from
the north. Americans were not unaware of
TINS menace Benjamin Franklin took lead
ing part In dispelling it. Out of a clear sky,
under circumstances strikingly similar to those
surrounding the pronouncement Of Secretary
Hughes at the Washington conference, the
United States proposed to Great Britain that
the Canadlan-American frontier be disarmed.
Acceptance of this proposal by Great Brit
am was as great sacrifice of property as was
involved IN Balfour's acceptance of the
hughes program. At the close of the War
OF 1872 there were twenty-eight British war
ships on the lakes and three more new ones
on the ways. The United States had similar
1orce Disarmament involved the destruction
or dismantling of these vessels
Without any to-do or hesitation, the Brit
lsh government, through it's Minister in Wash
ington, Charles Bagot, worked out with the
United States, represented by Richard Rush,
Acting Secretary of State, what came after
ward to be known as the Rush-Bago agree
ment. 1t was not treaty in any sense. but
simply an agreement by which the United
States and Great Britain disarmed the Amer
an-Canadian frontier, did away with all war
and menace of war in that quarter which
threatened it most imminently, and resulted in
such paucity of misunderstanding that in
1882 Congress had to inquire of the Depart
ment of State whether the agreement was still
in force. The reply was that it was still effec-
tive, but time had wiped out it's details 1t
had become simply an understanding upon
which has been based century of friendship
between the United States and the neighbor
the north.
Twice in history the continuance of the
Rush-Bagot agreement was threatened. In
1886~A1 canada was troubled with revolution

To which Shahrazad made answer.

And Shahryar replied:
"Oh.'
Then reached Shahryar, king Of kings, for
his scimitar, but Shahrazad spake, saying:
"But this tale, oh lord Of my life. is ~
more strange than that Of Will ibn Hears,
the Sheik ul Islam, and the manner in which
he strove to bring peace to the world by sup
porting the disarmament congress"
And Shahryar laid his sword aside and
yawning nightly, quoth:
''Tell it tomorrow night

''Then to him the censors replied:
"'That is beyond province, but we
have cut from the news film pictures Of young
women bathing on the sea beaches"
And Shahrazad ceased her tale and the
eyes Of Shahryar, king of kings, strayed once
more toward his scimtar Wherefore she
quoth hastily:
sAnd the moral Of this tale, lord of
thousand caravans, is that by cutting films or
necks thou canst not raise the morality Of
people"
Then spake Shahryar, king Of kings:

were made to Germany by Great Britain. All
but one OF them were fatty rejected and that
one was answered with a counter suggestion
so absurd as to be almost insulting. Lloyd
George in 1908 voiced Britain's attitude and
desire when he expressed profound regret
that it should be necessary in the twentieth
century of the Christian era to hold meet
ing in a civilized country to protest against
the expenditure by Christian communities Of
400 millions year upon preparing one nation
to Kill another" Premier Asquith that same
year announced that several futile advanceE
had been made to Germany on the subject of
limitation of armament. From 1909 to 1912
the British made every effort to stop the com
petition. In the latter year the British sent
Lord Haldane to Berlin to try to bring an
agreement about, but he was refused. Ger
many, however, did make counter suggestion
which virtually amounted to asking England
to renounce her position as a power The
British refused
The outbreak of the great war did away
with all talk of peace. except, of course, such
futile surface efforts as those of Henry Ford,
and disarmament received no further notice
from the nations for five years--they were too
busy increasing their fighting equipment.
The spirit of antagonism to war which
arose out of the European struggle was prob
ably responsible for the gestures toward dis
armament made in the League of Nations
enant Nothing definite, nothing final, nothing
authoritative, was decided at Versailles be-
cause France feared militant Germany and
would not disarm talk of such moves. The
DOtpntialIv ycxyo,fu1 mott IN, +ho yrovld
the United States, was not taking part in the
discussions, and they were therefore pointless
and soon dropped into insignifcance when
President Harding last summer sent out his
call for conference in Washington on lmta-
tation of armament.
1t was not the first time that the United
States had "butted" into great international
disputes to force a peace. America was di
rectly responsible for the ending Of the Russo
japanese War, for the results of the Ageciras
conference and fox the Rush Bagot agreement.
The Washington government had ended hun
dreds Of wars and counter wars in Spanish
America. BY proclamng the Monroe Doctrine
the United States accomplished what virtually
amounted to the disarmament of the Western
hemisphere, because no longer was it neces-
sary for the countries to the south to arr
against foreigners. Europeans benefited IL
this, because no longer was it necessary for
Holland to maintain feet in the West Indies
to defend Curacao and Surinam, or France or
Great Britain ships to protect their colonies
there. Consequently when President Harding
called his armament reduction conference be
was simply taking further step along the
line of disarmament that the United States
has followed with consistent regularity.

TAYLORS HERE
FOR WEEK END
GAMES

c. |. Taylor comes here Saturday
and Sunday and other days, and he
brings with him a new and rejuvenated
collection OF players, that from recent
reports, are going to make the Foster
crowd extend themselves to the full
limit in order to maintain the winning
streak that has fallen TO their lot re-
Gently at the expense OF other teams.
Aside from Brother Ben Taylor,
who is field leader and first baseman,
General Taylor has complete new
team of regulars. Jefferies and Dcta
Johnson are the only ones of the old
A. B. C's that are lett, and those two
are pitchers, and mighty good ones.
c. |. has so many new and high class
pitching men that it is difficult at this
time to name the man who will do the
heaving in the first game or even the
Sunday contest; but no matter which
one OF his pitching selections adorns
the slab, Schorling park fans are in for
great afternoons work.
The AS have tackled all the tough
foe found in the western circuit of the
league. and the records show them
none the worse for wear. Taylor IS
said to be carrying the best collection
OF pitchers assembled upon any one
team in the country, and these pitchers
are supported by an inheld that is
second to none, with an outfield that
carries a mighty punch at bat and
frames an alright defense.
The American Giants, for the first
time this season, will meet a team
that plays a game much after their
own fashion, and when an aggregation
carries Fosters own copyrighted goods
to the men under his charge, there IS
at all times an amount of uncertainty
as to whether his men will stay on
their pins and stick to their guns; and
those are points in play that make for
good baseball. and the new Hoosier
team according to incoming reports,
are just the aggregation to give the
fans what they have for long time
looked for; bunch that plays the
American Giants style of baseball, and
| does it with the exactness and preci-
sion symbolical of the local team. That
is a true line on the. A. B. C's that will
be seen in the series of games opening
here next Saturday.
