AT HARVARD

The exercises at Harvard were
held in Sanders theatre. President
A. Lawrence Lowell, who conferred
the honorary degree OF doctor Of
laws on Marshal Foch. paid tribute
to his military skill, and the marshal;
in response spoke of what Harvard
men had done for the allies in the
World War. Leaving the theatre,
the marshal was driven across the
Harvard yard to the Widener Memo
rial library. and as he climbed the
steps the guns of the student battery
beloved out long salute. In the
building he showed special interest in
the portraits of Harvard students
who between 1914 and 1918 left the
quiet yard for noisy France, not to
return.

Foch then went to pay a visit to Car

Marshal and Cardinal chatted for
several minutes before F'och returned
to his hotel to rest again prior to the
banquet given him by the state and

tions from his own experiences. His
advice to them was to "hold fast TO
God and to country" by so doing, he
said. they would come safe into port

Lloyd George
Pleased with Plan

London, Nov. 14.--(By The A. P.)--
Officials in Downing street today de-
clared frankly that Prime Minister
Lloyd-George cordially welcomed the
general principle of Americas naval

Secretary of State Hughes 1t the in

The prime minister is keeping in
close touch with proceedings at Wash

today that there would be daily COM

American capital was being dictated
from London.
1t was pointed out that. while
neither MIR. Lloyd George nor Mr.. Bal
four had the requisite technical know
ledge to approve of the american pro-
posal offhand. they were both heartily
in favor of the general principles con-
tanned in the proposal The govern
ment's view on the proposals was
given expression this afternoon by the
issue from a high authority of the
following statement:
The great satisfaction and admir-
alton are expressed in responsible
quarters in London for the spontan-
iety. frankness and far sightedness
Of the proposals made by the United
States government in connection with
naval disarmament. The bold initia-
tive taken by President Harding's ad
ministration will not fail profoundly
to impress the peoples of the British
empire.
1T was inspired by the same gem
erous impulse which brought the Eng
disappearing peoples into the war
against militarist aggression in the
cause Of freedom. and is locked on
here as by far the most far-siShted
and broad-minded proposal that has
been made to free the world from it's

22 Knots
Snow Halts Trials in Afternoon
Arms Conference to be
Shown Movies Of Record Run
Over ROckland Course

Rockland Me, Nov. 14-The cleo
trlcally-driven superdreadnaush
Maryland, the worlds greatest bat
tleship, made a new speed record for
ships of her type by going over the
official mile course today at the rate
of 22.49 knots an hour and developing
the enormous horsepower of 36,673.
The best mile made by the Tennessee
was o1.37S, and the maximum horse
power developed was $4,000.
A light snow fall. which was just
sufficient to obscure the range marks
of the Rockland Naval Trial Course,
caused a suspension of the balance
of the Standardization trial this af-
ternoon.
The test. so far as completed in
cluded three runs at II, 10 and u
knots. and the five high speed runs
on which the Maryland averaged
21.16 knots. or more than three quar-
I ters OF a knot in excess of required
speed.
Three We're made at the maximum
speed, using the inboard screws only.
The anchor gear also was tested. 1t
was officially stated that all the tests
We're successful.

chaser a0S made tidal observations
and acted as tenders Weather per-
mitting. the slow runs Of the stand

morrow

FIVE runs at maximum speed. to be
followed if time permitted, by some
OF the backing and steering tests.
Motion picture men were at their
wits end to devise some method OF
obtaining more audacious pictures
than any which previously have been
made. for these are to be exhibited
before the conference in Washing
ton Thursday, showing the world $
greatest battlcshp in a supreme en-
deavor to better the speed OF II knots
which is required of this type.
The Maryland is said to have al
ready done this unofficially, but as
the craft had not been stadardized
the results were not marked by de-
Ppendahle accuracy.
Excelling in every other dcpartm mt
of naval architecture and equipment,
the Maryland has the distinction of
being the first battleship on trial with
armament of 16-inch guns. When
these weapons do their barking along
the New England coast in the run
real shells will come from the muZ-
zles. each weighing 2,1o0 pounds and
having a carrying distance Of 20
miles.
The big electric propelling motors
are of different design than those
of the Tennessee, which craft at
tanned a speed of 212e4 knots on a
similar trial off Rockland in tho early
summer. The Marylands trial dis
placement today was announced as
80, 400 tons. which is slightly greater
than the Tennessee's displacement.
The Maryland is in command of
Capt. Charles F. Preston, and the
Board OF Inspection and Survey is
headed by Rear Admiral C. p. Plum
kett. In spite of the threat implied
by the proposed 10 years in naval
holiday, practically every steel ship
ward in the country is represented by
the $50 observers on board.

Whereas a treaty between the

is word for word as follows:
Here follows text of treaty:
"And whereas the said treaty has
been duly ratified on both parts, and
the ratification oil the two countries
were exchanged at Berlin, on No
vember II, 1921;
Now, therefore, be it known, that
7. Warren G. Harding, president of

end that every article and clause
thereof may be observed and fulfilled

thereof.
In witness whereof. I have here
unto set my hand and caused The
seal of the United States to be af-

The proclamation issued today has
no bearing on the resumption of dip
lomatic officials asserting that the ex-
change of ratifications in itself re-
stored such diplomatic relations.
Just when Germany will resume her
old diplomatic status in Washington
is not known to officials here.
President Harding for some time
has had under consideration the
names of several possibilities as am
bassador to Germany and it is un-
derstood that Representative Alan

first in the Presidents mind in that
connection.

AMERICAN ALTRu|SM
WILL HELP ARMS
MEET SAYS COOLIDGE

Philadelphia, Nov. 1.-THE altruism
OF America that moved it to call the
conference to limit armament and the
absolute need for economy on the
part OF the nations will work for the
success of the Washington confer
ence. Vice President Calvin Coolidge
tonight told the members of the
Philadelphia Forum.
The great purpose Of the present
which no nation will dare to disobey,"
Mr.. Coolidge declared. but to estab-
lsh an understanding in which all
nations will desire to concur. There
lies the principal prospect of immed-
late benefit and the great expectation
of world salvation. The only price
exacted is a trifling dmnution of
theoretical national security. But
even the lessened power of defense
will he balanced by the lessened pow
er of attack"
The aims of the conference are not
new, Mr.. Coolidge pointed out. The
idea antedates modern civilization, he
said.
But they all demonstrated that
civilization hates war and has long
cherished aspirations for perpetual
peace" he declared.
They have for the most part turn
ed upon political and military allan
ces which undertook. by combination.
TO increase the military power, rather
than by agreement and independence
10 decrease it,"
The futility of the past arrange
ments will lay the fotsAdation for
the success of the present conference,
the vice president asserted. for they
have demonstrated the absolute
necessity for some understanding re-
garding the causes OF war
Mr.. Coolidge said he felt certain
the conference would achieve the
high purposes for which it was
created.
America" he said. 'is proposing
inns conference with the most unset
fish Of motives. We have emerged
from the great war less impaired than
any other nation. We have suffered
as vet very little from any internal
economic reaction. We can meet tn -
'eSt OF competitive armament with
less strain than would be felt else
Whore. There is small doubt that we
might prosper on the distress of 9TH
ere.
America has always been an apos-
lie OF peace and unselfishness. 1t
proposes to hold to that course now.
IL seeks for a better understanding
among nations, not merely for its
own advantage but from a great de-
sire TO serve. The mighty power that
\ mas come. the great advantage that
is ours, will be unworthily held unless
II be used for the cause Of humanity.
There will be no diminution OF
nationality. no limitation of independ-
ehce imposed upon ourselves or upon
olhers. The nations will emerge from
Inc conference clothed with SOW
efelsnty unimpaired and with free
uom undiminished. but If the hope OF
per people is realized they will emerge
WIN new determination not to rely
.of their security upon the individual
rower of force. but to rely upon the
UNIVERSAL power of Righteousness"
