state OF chaos and CONFUSION,
which would forever preclude the
possibility of real thought and in
telligent action. A nation, too,
must gain a mastery of the art
of forgetting if it is to progress
and advance in it's national ex-
istence.
That the Jew has always pos
sessed most remarkable mas
terry in the art of learning, his
history and his past bear ample
proof. His very survival amidst
conditions which made the pres
ervation of life improbable is due
to his unsurpassed adaptability
which betokens a mastery of the
art of learning. With an indom-
liable optimism, he has always
been able to. rise above sorrow
and suffering and disappointed
hopes to apply himself to new
conditions. When he was de-
prived of his old occupation, he
successfully adopted new occu-
patton. When he was expelled
from one country, he started life
anew in another country. When
existence became impossible, un-
der old and accustomed circum-
stances, he accommodated him
self to new circumstances, and
thus he survived. But he is
also an adept in the art of for
getting. The same optimism that
made possible his proficiency in
the art of learning also helped
him to gain efficiency in the art
of forgetting. No matter how
sad and sorrowful his past exper-
fences may have been, he always
took into the present from his
past only that which would aid
and facilitate his future life and
progress. When his country
was destroyed and he became an
aimless wanderer over the globe,
he did not brood over his misfor-
tune and did not consume his vi
tality and strength in bewailing
his calamity, but took his laws
and his prophecies with him and
remembered only that part of his
narrowing experience which made
him hopeful and buoyant in the
expectation of being once more
restored to the land of his fathers
and the life of his people. His
emancipation in European lands
dates back only a short period of
time. Yet he remembers today
only that he is a citizen of those
lands and devotes himself with
unparalleled loyalty to the duties
of citizenship, without reverting
in undue measure to the long
ages of torture and persecution
that he had to endure in these
countries. What a remarkable
demonstration this is indeed of
the fact that the Jew is able to
master. not o11y the art of learn

Three Judges Pick
 Winners, But Can't ~ Agree on IndiUidual

Atlanta, Ga, December 26.-(Spe- cial.)-Two of the three judges in the Young stribling Battling Budd fight al the auditorium tonight picked winners, but they couldn't agree on the same individual. Ref cree Red" Dewitt scratched his head moment over this compll- cated bit of mathematics, then grin he'd as he reached a solution. Calling both pugilists to the center, Referee Dewitt hoisted the right hand of each. It signihed that 10 rounds was not enough to give any decision one way or the other. Stribling and Budd had fought to ga draw.
 When the referee so happily ar rived at this conclusion it probably saved a number of broken noses and bruised eyes in the post-fght fes- tivities. Both boys were favorites. For every man that hooted miss by Stribling there was one that did the same when a cloud from Budd' s good right wasted itself harm lessly in the air. The spirit of the battlers invaded the spectators and the non -combatants passed fine evening watching the amateur and professional milling. Three fights in addition to those in the arena kept the railbirds wondering where light ming would strike next.
 The decision was as near correct as was possible under the circumstances If you believe that in-fighting is the deciding feature in a battle. void of any spectacular knockdowns or ter rife hitting, you are going to be mighty hard to convince that Strib- ling wasn't entitled to the decision.
 But, if you are one of these happy mortals, believing that clean punches should be the big power in render ing the decisions, you'll spend the rest of your life believing it was Budds fight from the start. Everything con sidered, this correspondent believes Red Dewitt was eminently correct when he judged the affair to be draw.
 And now, getting to the list of preliminaries, the Larry AYera- Eddie Hanlon bout was pleasing from the gong. Hanlen staged remarkable comeback after having been all but stopped in the opening round. He was outpointed in the long ru hand lost the decision. but there was noth- ing in his fight that he need be ashamed of.
 The first two fights both ended in knockonts in the second round.
 In the first fight, Kid Henry and Jack Williams both looked to be in danger of getting knocked out in the Initial frame, but Henry busted his right early in the second stanza and brought the struggle to an abrupt close when right to the face dropped Williams after one minute and 40 seconds of milling. Joe Car ter looked good in the first round against Soldier Jack Wagner, but in the second and a series of hard rights and lefts by the soldier had Joe knocked stiff in the second.

maintain a 20 per cent larger capital ship force than that of the United States. She has agreed to scale down at the end of that period to an equal>~ ity with the American fleet, however, and this process cannot be worked out now in detail. By again going the holiday ends, however, the method of British reduction can be provided for, even if 1t does not then seem ad visable to provide for further naval reductions all around as many dele gates hope will be the case. The three-year interval will permit the building of new ships to displace old in the arrangement of tonnage un- der the "5-5-3" program.
 It is also regarded as altogether probable that in seven years the pres ent controversy as to relative merits of capital ships and aircraft in war will have cleared itself. Should the predictions of some experts that air craft eventually will make capital ships useless have been made good during that period, the seven-year session of the naval limitation con- ference could write that development into a new naval agreement con
 templating abandonment of capital ships altogether, it Is pointed out. In the same way it could apply to the new theory of competitive naval building any other scientific develop ments in the way of new agencies of warfare which the years may have brought to light

ROBBERS SECURE. $1,244 FROM DOWN. TOWN FRUIT STORE

George Cassimus. who operates a confectionery and fruit store at 409 Twentieth street north, was held up and robbed of 1,244 last night at mid- night by two unidentified white men. The men walked into the store just as Cassimus was counting the pro- ceeds of the days sales. One of the men threw a pistol on him, while the other ransacked the cash register. Most of the money was in s2O and slo bills.
 This robbery in the heart of the city created considerable excitement and in a few minutes a crowd had gathered. Police Officers J. l.. Illus ton, Earl Jones and Mccoy Helton arrived upon the scene shortly after the hold-up and are now investigat- Ing the case.
 Cassimus was too excited to give coherent description of the men to po- , lice officials but was able to say that both used great deal of profanity and "crookp language and were dressed shabbily.
 No one was in the store when the
 men entered and when the thieves had covered Cassimus they shut the front doors of the store. No clews have been found by the police as to the identity of the miscreants.

LAPS AND FRENCH
 REFUSE TO YIELD ON SUB TONNAGE
(Continued from Page One)

among the American, British and French delegates has developed a feeling that by time it may be pos sible to work out an extension of the naval holiday in the light of seven year test of the agreements which made it possible. In any event, it has been said, there will be details to work out of the program that is to replace the 10-year fleet status with actual application of the "5-5-3" capital ship ratio.
 Early Steps Likely
 It also appeared more probable to- night that some definite step toward a world conference on submarines, probably to be held within three years after the Washington confer ence ends it's labors, would be taken within the day or two. Exactly what form it will take is no doubt pend ing on the decision on the submarine question.
 The initial suggestion for a world submarine conference came from the British delegation in line with its iruitless effort to get the-Washing- ton conference to agree to abolish ment of underwater craft entirely. The American delegation expressed much sympathy with the British view, hut was not ready to consider such a step except in conjunction with all nations of the world.
 It is pointed out that fn-the event of calling of a special world subma- rine conference. such matters as the use of poison gas, aircraft bombing and any other new agencies of war could be talked over with a view to setting up an international code to govern their employment. The Wash ington conference is regarded as too limited in scope to deal with such questions.
 It further appears possible that the difficult question of land ornaments could be put forward to the supple mental world assembly in armament as three years may show changed conditions in Europe which will then admit of an agreement to curb army establishments as well as navies.
 Suggest Another Session
 The project to call another session of the five-power naval conference seven years after the 10-year holiday begins first was suggested; 1t is un- derstood. by the French delegation. At first the date suggested was 1881. when the decade stop in building ends. Such matters to be discussed then. however. would have to do very large ly with replacement building. Lord Lee of the British group and Secretary Hughes for the American group are said to have expressed the opinion that the question should be taken up three years before the holiday expires and as it now stands the meeting would be some time in 1s2S29.
 It should be recalled that while the "5-5-3' capital ship ratio has been ac- cepted provisionally. at least by all five powers. 1t does not become ef- fective until the 10-year holiday ends. During the holiday Great Britain will

 has adopted tentatively the following methods of direct assistance:
 Establishment of American ship ping on an even competitive basis with that of Great Britain by a basis payment to American ship operators to cover the general wage and sub slstence differential between the ships.
 Making available portion of the remunerative fund of about $S,00o,- 900 per annum for encouraging scon- struction of mail carriers.
 Encouragement of special services and new routes through nominal bare boat charters, operating under man aging operators contract, until pri- vate capital is available, and through bids for the operation of prescribed routes and services.
 Customs receipts and tonnage taxes form the main support of the direct aid suggested from the estimated in- come from customs receipts for 1922 23 about $500, 900, ,000 10 per cent, or $50, DOC, 900 would he set aside as a special fund for paying remuneration to American ships on a basis to be adopted.

the soviet regime. The foreign capi- talists, he asserted, had demonstrated their willingness to trade with Rus sia. He was extremely optimistic over the trade outlook, and said the policy of uniting the peasants and workmen more closely through free domestic trade had been highly sue cessful. The brief time this arrange ment had been in force had showed that the government is on the right track toward the re-establishment of economic solidarity.
 The sessions of the congress were held in the Moscow opera house. which was crowded with 1,952 dele gates and 200 other party leaders and spectators, including Major Lonergan, representing the American relief ad- ministration and many, other foreign CTS. The main floor of the theatre was entirely filled with deleAat tes. mostly workmen dressed in furs, who kept on their fur caps throughout the proceedings, presenting the appear ance of gathering of frontiersmen, contrasting with the brilliantly light ed and gold decorated auditorium.
 M. Kalenin, elected chairman, and his executive committee of 32 mem bers, including Premier Lenine and Leon Irotzky, the war minister, oc- cupied seats of honor around a red table.
 Among the foreign commissists was J. Carr, representing America, Dur ing his speech to the congress, Carr said:
 q do not bring greetings from the American government nor from the politicians now conferred at Wash ington behind locked dors as to how they can down soviet Rusisa, but from millions of oppressed people in Amer ica l bring greeting from millions who are walking the streets with no- where to sleep and nothing to eat"
 Carr declared the American work men were secretly organizing and would eventually overthrow capital ism and establish a workmen's gov erpmapt

GIRLS PRESENT REVUE

The girls of Camp winnetaski pre- sented a revue" in three acts last night at the First Methodist church to very large audience of campfire girls. The performance melted con sirerable intrest and many compli- ments on the affair were heard.
 The first act consisted of an imita- tion camp murder and camp wedding The second act depicted the chief foods of camp life--corn bread and ham--in life-like personages. The third act was devoted to Dr. George R. Stuart, pastor of the church. who made a very pleasing talk and a little skit entitled "In a Doll House."
