.ecalled In that old fireside poem
Of the Scottish poet:
For Auld Lang Syne. my dear.
For Auld Lang Syne.
Wen take cup OF kindness yet
For Aud Lang syne."
In some OF the quotations made
by the chaplain, the spirit Of the
occasion was voiced: that OF Pope.
True friendships laws are by this
rule expressed. welcome the coming.
speed the parting guest" And that
beautiful definition of Friendship:
Friendship is something SO divine.
Description would make II less.
'Tis what we know. but cant define,
'Tis what we feel, but cant ex-
press"
And that to which royal day like
this points.
The ways through the world are
many.
But the gate they reach is one.
Afar though we stray through the
long hot day.
We shall meet at the set Of sun.
Children are we of one household.
Wherever We go or roam.
On many shore till the world Is
DER.
And we find each other a. home. :"
All hearts send God bless you"
with Col. Conkie and family: and
hope the years will sit lightly upon
them in the southland and In this
good time and way bring them the
reward they so richly deserve.

Burch Defense To Continue Insanity
 Evidence Tuesday
IRepubIIcan A. ?. Leased Wirel

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 23.-The trial of Arthur C. Burch, charged with the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, was ad- journed until next Tuesday after session lasting less than two hours today. Dispositions relating to the mental condition of Burch formed the only evidence presented today: Defense attorneys said their case was practically completed with the excep- tion of a 'few scattering witnesses and aienists who will state their opinion concerning Burchs sanity or lack of it. Mrs. Madelynne Oben- chain, CO., defendant of Burch, has been subpoenaed by the defense. but has not made known whether she will consent to testify. The attorneys also stated they had witnesses whose testimony would tend to establish an alibi for B.lrch.
 The dispositions read were made by Evanstan, H., and Harlowton, Mont, acquaintances of Burch. The Evans ton deponents told of noticing changes in the defendants habits after he had spent three years on a ranch near Earlowton. The Harlow ton people testified they had formed the opinion that Burch was cratic and peculiar, one stating he believed him insane" Several gave as a req
 son for their opinion that Burch wore a fur coat and no hat in the summer time

who opposed the war in one way or another, anG is made up of less than a third OF l. ". W. prisoners, and these have either expressed full peni- tence or are booked for deportation. The department of justice has given no recommendation on behalf of ad- vocates of sabotage or destruction of government by force and the presi- dent let it be known he would not consider such cases Tn addition to the five soldiers on the list, many other cases are under consideration.
 No comment was made by the president on the case of Debs. The president and the attorney general had given very extended considera- tion to the Debs petition, and it is known that fhe fact that he had twice been the presidential nominee of a million of voters had it's influence in reaching a decision favorable to his release.
 The president expressed the wish that it be stated that the grant oi clemency in the cases acted upon does nor question the justice of any action of the courts in enforcing the law in a time of national peril, but he feels the ends of justice have beer fairly me. in view of the changed conditions.
 -.The vast ma jority of so- called DO. litical prisoners still imprisoned art the I. W. w. group, are rarely Amer jean citizens and have no good clain to executive clemency. A number O. convicted citizens have never beer imprisoned owing to appeals unde bond There are also many thousand of indictments under war Legislation

ately. without passion, they find the way to come to an agreement. And after all. there has never been a conflict in the world that has not been settled in the end in that way. You have war; you destroy thous ands or millions of men and meas ureless treasure, and then you gath CT about a table and settle it. I have a feeling that mankind has be- come wise enough to sit down before the war and try to settle it. And that is the object of the four-party treaty. That is why I say the small lack of agreement in construing it is not significant.
 'Why, if there was a menace to peace in Japan. what objection would there be for the United States to sit down with her friend in the Orient and with the other great powers. and discuss how the matter could be adjusted? If some one had done that when Austria was threatening Serbia, there would have been no European war. The whole purpose of this conference is to provide some means where just, thoughtful, right eous peoples who are not seeking to seize something which does not be- long to them. can live peaceably to- gether and eliminate causes Of con flict. This is in the American heart and it is in the British heart and it is in the Japanese heart and in the French and Italian heart-it is every
 where in the world. If this present
 day civilization can not take advan- tage of this new realization of that
 emphasized conviction. I would not give much for the civilization of the | fNue.n 1NNf Nst.4t

ing the war and generally had only ten fin service at sea at one time The French estimated, he said, that Germany had from so to 100 com- z pleted submarines which are still in existence" and of that number kept-s Is or 20 at sea at once because of the necessity of resting crews and refit- ting boats. He pointed out that the American proposal of 90,0O0 tons in Submarines for Great Britain and the United states meant 90 submarines of a future type of 1000 tons and probably IS or 20 capable of simul taneous action.
 This seems indeed the minimum submarine strength power desirous of making use of this contrivance should have, he said. We are con- vinced that the idea of large sizsd submarines could not be dismissed. If you impose too narrow a limit on submarine tonnage, you will obstruct the progress of submarine science.
 Favors eo,ooo Ton Limit
 "To draw a conclusion from the foregoing I think that we cannot reasonably limit submarine tonnage since we have before us an entirely new weapon concerning which no one of us can foresee the possible trans anu PChAaPS m eA( near future. If in spite of this idea which is a menace to no one you wish absolutely to fix | a limit to submarine tonnage. I be- lieve that 90,000 tons in the absolute minimum
 In answer Mir. Balfour said he wished the American advisory com mittee could have heard the speech | of the gallant admiral who has just sat down before drawing up its re- | port.
 The committee concluded that de- struction of commerce by submarines was not the main business of sub- marines and that regulations could | prevent inhumane employment of U-boats. he pointed out. While Ad- | n1iral De Bon had condemned fnlu- mane use of submarines, he added, | 'it was the action of submarines
 upon merchant ships which he re-
 gards as on the whole the most im- portant use to which that weapon of
 maritime warfare can be put"

 Todate In Chinese
 Coalition Cabinet

PEKING, Dec. 23-Three posts be- sides the premiership have so far been allotted in the new coalition cab inet being formed under the direction of General Chang Tsao Lin governor of Manchuria. whose arrival here re- gently was followed by the fall of the Chin Yun-Peng ministry. The se- lection of Liang Shih-Yi as premier was announced Tuesday and today it developed that Yeh Kung- Cho had been picked for minister of commit nications, Chang Hu as minister of finance and Yeu Hui Chang as min ister of foreign affairs.
 Yeh Kung- Cho was minister of communications in the Chin Yum Peng ministry. Chang Hu is being opposed by the native press, which accuses him of being pro-Japanese. Yeu Hui Ching (better known as Dr. w. w. Yen), is the present foreign minister.
 Liang Shih-Yi, the new premier whose appointment. it is announced will be gazetted tomorrow. is prob ably China's best known financier credited with virtually controlling the banking policies of the country. He is quoted as expressing confi- dence he can unite the country.

L. Snitkin were two caseS coupled together in President Hardings com mutations, both men having been in
 volved in conspiracy to sell exemp- tions to young men who had been summoned for army service in New
 York. Each was sentenced to six years in prison. but were released on parole August 25.
 |. w. W.s Released
 Among the I. w. W. prisoners re-
 leased was Charles Ashleigh, writer
 of poetry and speaker. who has
 served two years Of a 10-year term
 and will be deported to his native
 country, England. Giovanni Bal
 dazzi. of Chicago who was manager
 of I'll Proletario," an Italian paper
 conducted by the L w. w. was also
 released for deportation although
 fine of s30,000 had been added by the
 court to his ten-year prison sentence these were the only two members of the organization who had attained any prominence to obtain release. it was said.
 Wilhelm Schumann, German
 Lutheran minister at Pomeroy, Iowa,
 was convicted of having preached | sermon during the war urging pun ishment of all enemies of Germany and his release was ordered today.
 Mojick Fieron, formerly an officer in the Austrian army, who was con victed at Detroit of obstructing the
 selective service act, and sentenced to 20 years, was given his final release by the list, President Wilson having
 acted previously to reduce the sen tence to five years Among the mis- cellaneous cases were those of two Oklahoma farmers, who joined early in ho in 0n | against the selective service act,
 which was quickly suppressed. Gus | tave H. Jacobson of Chicago, also named for release, aided a conspiracy l during the war to raise native re- 1 bellion against British rule in India. l insofar as he allowed his house to be
 used for a meeting place by those concerned, but the statement issued today said he was mot shown to
 have been in reality an enemy of the
 United States"
 Jack Law, another member of the I. w. W. convicted at Chicago in 1918, the summary said, represented 'one of the cases wherein it is earn estly claimed by many persons that | there was no evidence at the trial to show that the application was guilty of any disloyal act during the war" " | In making the announcement of l the executive action today, President | Harding stated at the outset that he | had no comment to make on the Debs | case and this was interpreted as
 meaning that no action was forth coming in regard to the former | socialist leader at this time. Within
 a few minutes, however, the complete | list was made available to the news | paper correspondents and disclosed | that MT. Debs' release had been | authorized.

 A supplementary White House statement on Debs further amplified
 the view taken by the president.
 No Question of Guilt
 'fThere is no question of his guilt and that he actively and purposely obstructed tho draft this statement said. ..In fact, he admitted it at the trial but sought to justify his action. He was by no means, however, as rabid and outspoken in his express sions as many others, and but for his prominence and the resultant far reaching effect of his words, very probably might not have received the sentence he did. He is an old man, not strong physically. He is a man of much I.orsonaI charm and impress sive personality. which qualifications made him a dangerous man, calcu- lated to rnislead the minimizing and affording excuse for those with crim- inal intent
 One woman, Mrs Idell Kennedy, convicted at Los Angeles of hindering the selective service act by arrang- ing with an oculist to. furnish national army men with eye glasses which distorted their vision and made them unfit for army service, was included in the list. with notation that Presi- dent Wilscn previously had reduced her sentence from II to three years on condition tnat she be placed in C sanitarium for the insane.
 Claus Freese, who was convicted al l Fl Paso, Tex, in 1918, the summary said, attempted to sell to a German consul in Mexico plans of gun whicl the American army was expected tC use, although he contended that th' plans were inlpracticable and that h.
