A TEST OF SINCERITY.

Secretary Hughes lost no time ir
testing the sincerity of the confer
ence at Washington. What he pro-
posed is the very least that the
world can expect, now that it has
been put plainly before the parley
But much more should be hoped for.
What is gratifying about the pro-
posal is that it aims at action. There
has been not unfounded apprehension
that the conference might waste time
in oratory and mere sentiment. Mr.
Hughes skillfully prevented that by
centering instant attention upon a
definite proposition which can be dis
posed of, to the satisfaction of world
opinion, only by action.
Whatever may be the secret pur-
poses of the governments or their
plenipotentiaries the Hughes propos-
al demands frank and open answer.
1t shows on its face that the United
States is not trying to put anything
over on anybody. The present rela-
tive power of the three naval nations
is not to be affected. We are setting
the example by Offering to scrap al
most as much tonnage as the other
two combined are asked to do. The
conditions for replacement are
scrupulously prepared to maintain the
relative rank of the three navies. At
the end of the ten years holiday from
naval expenditure each will be in the
same position as today.-Pittsburg

ed fast and guarded well. At the
end of the first period, Peacham was
leading to 0; in the second period
the B. A. boys found themselves and
went into the lead of 9 to g. Dur
ing the last period, so close was the
guarding, that neither team was able
to score a single point, something
that rarely happens in a Basket Ball
game. d Rowe scored most of the
points for Peacham while Currier,
Ames and Murphy did the scoring
for B. A. The game was played
clearly by both sides and kept the
spectators in suspense from begin
