program is adopted
Kerr Approves Proposal
Naval experts declare that so rapid
IS the advancement of invention that
by 1882 the present navies will have
no fighting value.
Td Admiral Mark Kerr, who is one
OF the leaders in the campaign against
the battleship, the proposals seem ex-
celient, for ne relieves that Britain
| has sufficient capitaf shins for Euro
pean purposes, and in his opinion none
are desirable in foreign waters, because
they would be too far from their bases.
He also strongly approves scrapping
the older ships, but he reserves judg.
ment on the question OF the measure
ment of capital ship tonnage.
Viscount Sydenham, who is active as
a critic in all naval discussions, dis
agrees with the suggestion for scrap
ping the ships, or. the ground that it
would be useless expense, since the
ships. could be turned to many profit
able purposes.
While welcoming the scheme as a
step forward, j. K. Clynes, Parlia-
mentary leader of the Labor party,
thinks the conference will achieve its
greatest success through the creation
Of general good will, rather than
through an agreement of technical
nature. Clynes and other Labor lead
ers advocate almost complete disarma-
ment on land as we'll as on sea, and
consequently they can be classed as
strong supporters of the Washington
scheme as the greatest advance thus
for toward the goal for which they have
been working.
The British press seems Just trife
cautious In it's editorial comment, but.
on the whole, it's attitude toward the
Hughes proposals must be regarded as
highly favorable. Correspondents at
tending the conference for London
papers regard the proposals as epoch
making and report that they come as
big surprise to average Americans, who
did not expect such radical suggestions
from those who called the conference
together Some of them declare that
the whole of America will get behind
President Harding and Secretary
Hughes on this matter.
The newspapers here point out clarly
the direct bearing the naval proposals
Will have on the situation in the Pa
cific, although they have laid the great
est emphasis thus far ON the possibill
,.ty OF reduction in naval expenditures.
every one now is wondering whether
the United States has some equally
startling recommendations for the set
tlement of the Far Eastern problem.
Regret is expressed on every side
that Premier Lloyd George is not pres
ent at Washington and, what is even
worse, that there seems little possibil-
ity that he will get away for weeks to
come, If az all. The prospects of a
general election Iooms larger daily.
Even d settlement of the Irish problem
would not completely clear the political
atmosphere. for a growing body Of
conservatives seem determined to break

EARLY SPRING PREDICTED
BY THE WEATHER SHARKS

An early spring is the prediction
from all of the old prognosticators
of weather. 1t all happened this
morning when the Ground Hog
made his annual appearance. He is
believed to have come out of his
hiding place early this morning
while the dark clouds hid the sum-,
and not being able to see his shadow
he is still out in spite of the fact that
the u did come out for a short
time.
There are some who believe that
Mr.. Monax, as the big book calls
him, did not awaken early, and came
put just as the sun parted the clouds
following the snow that began fall
ing at an early hour. shifted the air
and crawled back into his hole TO
remain their for another six weeks.
This would take it to mean that we
are to have six weeks more of win
ter, in spite of the fact that we have
not experienced much winter wealth
er so far this season.
Reports were received from vari-
Gus sections as early as two days ago
that the Ground Hog had been seen
out to enjoy the spring-like weather
that has prevailed in this section for
some time.
Today is also Candlemas day.,
when the annual services of bless I
ing of the candles take place in all
Catholic churches. Some Episcopal
churches also observe the day.
