DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE IN
WASHINGTON TO BE EVENT
OF VAST IMPORTANCE.
NAVAL REDUCTION IS FIRST
some Nations, Like France, May Be
Chary Of Cutting Down Their Land
Strength - Something Like New
League May Result.
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

NaShinston.-The disarmament con-
ference In the city Ol Washington. to
lie held some time in the fall, will
arlng together an extraordinarily in
teresting group OF men which may IN
Eiude Lloyd George, the premier OF
Hreat Britain, and BRAND. the pre-
mier Of France. Ii will be the first
ulne that a conference of such world
compelling interest has been held in
he United States.
There seems 10 have been some
misunderstanding about what disarm-
nment means. the kind of disarm-
ument which viii be discussed al the
Forthcoming meeting of the representa-
lives of the tive great countries assoc
ciated in the war. The first matter 10
be dealt with will be naval disarm-
ament, for IL is recognized that So far
as some of the countries of the world
are concerned, safety lies in the lack
OF means of other nations 10 send
troops 10 their shores OF mischief
bent.
The reduction of ornaments on land
probably will come in for secondary
consideration and action, but so far
as some countries are concerned any
decrease in the land forces is matter
of high moment. This is particularly
true of France. IL is known already
that, while France is willing to enter
into a disarmament conference, lis
representatives will be charged with
the duty of seeing to it that nothing
Is agreed To which will jeopardize the
safety of the country by laying II open
10 man power attack from the East.
France for years lived in the shadow
of the German menace. and today il
does not want TO re-enter that shadow,
nor does il want 10 enter into new
shadows cast by armies which might
be raised in a land farther East than
Germany, armies which would be
moved by a power bent on imposing
anarchic conditions on the rest of the
world.

Russian Conditions important.


Conditions in Russia. present and
future. necessarily must be taken into
consideration by the conferees when
they assemble in Washington. Coupled
with the Russian conditions are con-
ditiOns I'm the lands south of Russia
where today matters are chaotic. The
Russian plus the Turk plus some other
peoples seemingly are recognized by
western nations today as holding pos
sibllties OF trouble for the higher civil
izatlon. The disarmament conference
will have a hundred and. one things
TO consider In connection with the
main proposition of cutting down ar
maments and relieving the peoples Of
the earth from their heavy burdens Of
expense.
One of the troubles which will con-
front the cOnferees will be what may
be called comparative disarmament.
Under existing conditions in the world
Il is probable that one nation. for self
defense purposes. must be allowed to
maintain a greater war organization
than Will be allowed 20 some other ma
ton. How much of an army will
France need for strictly defensive pur-
poses, and how much Of an army will
the United States need for strictly de-
fensive purposes? These questions can
be multiplied TO meet conditions In
every land. Some difficulty will be
met I'm supplying the proper answers.
one thing seemingly is recognized by
governing officials Of the nations which
are to be parties TO the Washington
conference.-the the first real move
ment toward the peace of the world
Is under way. Leaders of all political
parties i'm Washington seemingly are
at one in appreciation Of the plan.
viii Society Of Nations Result7
In the matter Of the beauty of dis
armament and general peace, there
never has been a party line drawn in
the capital. The same thing unques-
tionably is true of the country at large.
Political leaders have disagreed as 10
the best means 20 bring about disar-
mament. but today there seems TO be
general rejoicing that the big nations
nj least are willing TO do 50 much as
TO get together to talk things over.
II is altogether too early yet. even
10 discuss the chances that out of the
conference win come something like
an association Of nations. or. If the
term Is preferred, something like a
league of nations. OF course. II there
Is a general agreement reached. the
very fact that there is an agreement
will make Of the countries which are
party thereto a kind Of association
Of nations.
There VIII be men who will say that
II Is a league. and men who viii say
that II is not a league, FOR the viewpoint
depends entirely upon the position
which men have taken In the past
upon the efforts OF the last administra-
ton TO form a league and the apparent
efforts Of the present administration
70 bring the nations together into some
kind OF agreement.

MAGICIAN PULLS
Off CLEVER STUNTS

By performing practically every
thing that the disciples or modern
spiritism claim to do. C. W. Kingsberg.
the magician. last night demonstrated
before large crowd at the X. of c
club rooms In Hammond that spiritism
as practiced nthe seance rooms by
the so-caIled high priests Of thi sim
aginery religion is merely a series of
slight-of-hand stunts.
His entire program was devoted to
slight-of-hand performances and a
number OF his tricks are really
wonderful. However, Kingsberg does
not claim any superhuman power or
communications with the spirits. He
succeeded IN convincing his audience
that anyone who made 1t a study could
perform all OF the tricks which he did
with such dexterity.
He performed card tricks. the por-
trait stunt. answered questions which
were written on paper and sealed in
envelopes without looking at them,
pulled all sorts of things from hats
and coat pockets and released himself
from a chair to which he had been Sc
curely tied.
One Of his c1everest stunts was with
wooden hand supposed to work
similarly to the Ouja board. The hand
which was given to him in Egypt
would tap on p board. once. twice or
as high as ten times in answering
questions. Kingsberg also told en-
tertainingly Of his travels in India
and the orient.

on record as opposing the making of
any treaty or convention relating to
Far Eastern affairs, which does not
give China an opportunity to partici-
pate. If China is included, as many
American officials think is inevitable.
there can be little objection raised to
the addition of all other nations
which have interests in the Far East.
But thesuggestion of a special al
lance of Great Britain, Japan and
the United States is far afield even
as graceful substitute for the Anglo
Japanese alliance. The senate proba-
bly, would not ratify it but the ad-
ministration would, to be sure, never
agree to it in the first place. A general
council of nations signatories to a
single pact covering the nine govern
ments which have interests in the
Far East is the American idea Of a
substitute for all special agreements
