and defense shall be maintained.
Four general principles have been
applied:
"N). That ell capital shipbuilding
programs, either actual or projected,
should be abandoned.
"(2). That further reduction should
be made through the scrapping Of
certain Of the older ships.
"(3). That in general regard should
be had to the existing naval strength
Of the powers concerned.
"(4). That the capital ship tonnage
should be used as the measurement
of strength for navics and proper
tionate allowance Of auxiliary COM
batant craft prescribed.
Proposal for a Reduction
OF Navy Made in u. $. Behalf
"Thc principal features of the pro-
posed agreement arc as follows:
Omitted States:
"The United States is now COM
pleting its program OF 1916, calling
for ten new battleships and six
battle cruisers. One battleship has
been completed. The others are in
various stages Of construction; in
some cases from so to 80 per cent of
the construction has been done. On
these fifteen capital ships now being
hui1t Ovnr coQn mn mn ,,. L
spent. Still, the United States is
willing in the interest ofan fmmedi-
ate limitation Of naval armaments to
scrap all these ships.
The United States proposes if this
plan is accepted
"(). To scrap all capital ships now
under construction. This includes
six battle cruisers and seven battle
ships on the ways and in the course
of building and two battleships
launched.
"The total number of new capital
ships thus to be scrapped is fifteen
The total tonnage Of the new capital
ships when completed would be 618,-
900 tons.
"(2). To scrap all of the older bat
tleships up to but not including the
Delaware and North Dakota. The
number Of these old battleships to be
scrapped is fifteen. Their total
tonnage is 227,74o tons.
Thus the number of capital ships
to be scrapped by the United States
if this plan is accepted is thirty, with
an aggregate tonnage tincluding
that Of ships in construction, if COM
pIeted) Of 845,740 tons.
Great Britain:
"The plan contemplates that Great
Britain and Japan shall take action
which is fairly commensurate with
this action on the part of the United
States.
at is proposed that Great Britain
"d) Shall stop further construc-
ton Of the four new Hoods, the new
capital ships not laid down, but upon
which money has been spent. The
four ships, if completed, would have
a tonnage displacement of $4,000.
"(2) Shall, in addition, scrap her
re-dreadnoughts, second line battle
ships and first line battleships, up
to but not including the King George
Y class.

Ships, Great Britain Quota

Competitive Effort Barred
As Taskmaster Of Nations

"What one may do another may
demand the opportunity to rival,
and we remain in tho thrall of COM
petitive effort.
II may add that the American dele
gates are advised by their naval
experts that the tonnage Of capital
ships may fairly be taken to meas
ure the relative strength of navics,
as the provision for auxiliary com
batant craft should sustain a rea-
sonable relation to the capital ship
tonnage allowed.
ut would also seem to be vital
part of plan for the limitation of
armament that there should be
naval holiday. 1t is proposed that
for period of not less than ten
years there should be no further
construction of capital ships.
81 am happy to say that | am at
liberty to go beyond these general
propositions, and, on behalf of the
American delegation, acting under
the instructions of the President f
the United States. to submit to you
concrete proposition for an agree
ment for the limitation of naval
armament
ut should be added that this pro-
posal concerns the British Empire,
Japan and the United States. In
view Of the extraordinary conditions,
due to the World War, affecting the
existing strength of the navies of
France and Italy, it is not thought
to be necessary to discuss at this
stage of the proceedings the tonnage
allowance Of these nations, but the
United States proposes that this mat
teH be reserved for the later con-
sideration Of the conference.

the United States is most solicitous

entirely reasonable and practicable
basis, to the. end that the Just in

Washington Shaft
 COuntry's Tribute
 to Her Great Son

The two great monuments in the United States, of the many hundreds that have been erected in all parts of our country, are the Bunker Hill mon- ument, in Boston, dedicated in 1S43, a shaft to commemorate the beginning of our fight for independence, and the Washington monument at Washing ton, erected to the memory of him who had been most instrumental in bringing about the result.
 For 30 years after Wnshington's death the project was, every now and then, suggested, but nothing definite happened until September, 1893, when the Washington National Monument society was formed, with Chief Jus tice John Marshall, then 73 years old, as president. It was not until three years later that advertisements were, inserted inviting designs from Amerl- can artists. "
 An effort was made to secure the funds by popular subscription and by 1S47 SS7, 900 was in hand and prepara- ton for construction was begun. Con- greSS, hy resolution, granted site where the monument now stands and the cornerstone was laid on the Fourth of July, 1S4S, in the presence of the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the government, foreign. ministers and officers and q vast con course of citizens from all parts of the Union.
 The work of erection progressed steadily until 1854, when the shaft had reached a height of 15G feet and had

But the superior men, the men ready 10 take the greatest positions and fulfill large obligations, the men trained from bottom to top of busl- ness in thorOughness, and from east to west In knowledge of its posslbil- tiles, will always be few, and generally fewer than the places waiting to be filled.

MR. DALE WOOD.

Mr.. F. Dale Wood, the second attrac
ton on the Custer High School Lyceum
Course, made his appearance as sched.
ed by the Midland Bureau on Friday,
Armistice Day, Since Mr.. Wood hap.
pened to be in town that day, the boys
made good use of him He was made a
guest at the Dinner given at the Com
mercial Hotel, where he was asked to
speak and responded to the pleasure ol
everybody present He was also given
a place on the afternoon program at the
Opera House Mr.. Woods booked lee,
ture took place in the evening at the
School Auditorium, but here he spoke
to a very small audience although the
lecture did not proceed until late in the
evening, waiting TOR the evening show
to be over.
Mr. Wood evidently did not feel justi
fed in giving his main lecture, but re-
sorted to a rather Informal talk, Which
was enjoyed by some and not SO well en-
Ijoyed by others. Mr.. Wood himself
seemed little disappointed on leaving
the city that not a larger crowd had
greeted him in the evening,

assignment, But of course Mr.. Wood is
not " blame for that, for man on a

that the local Committee had requested
the Bureau to not book an attraction

ANNUAL SCHOOL

ANNUAL SCHOOL
OFFICERS MEETING.
At the call of the State Supt, Mr..
Fred Shaw, the annual school officers
meeting of this county was held at the
court room on Thursday afternoon last.
The membership of this meeting is com
posed of the County Supt, and the
school boards Of the various districts.
Owing to the snow storm covering the
county full representation of the
districts was not here BufoIo Gap was
represented by the entire board which
fact should be commended
The principal business of the meeting
was the discussion Of the school law of
the state pertaining to tuition. Until a
new legislature makes some changes in
the law, the requirements with refer
ence to the matter Of tuition are as fol-
lows: For pupils living in a locality
where the school has been abandoned
pay per capita cost must be paid for at.
tending another school Pupils living
within reasonable reach Of school but
who come to town mercy for benefit of
the town school, must pay per capita
cost. All High School students coming
from without the district must pay per
capita cost. But in cases where pupils
living in one school district where there
is school, and attend school in another
district because Of lesser distance they
shall be required to pay the tuition that
the two boards may agree upon.
Per capita cost means the total cost of
running the school in the district for
the preceding year, divided by the
total enrolment for the same year.
The law covering this matter is rather
confusing and quite number Of super.
intendents and school boards are strong.
ly of the opinion that the law needs
fixing.
State Supt, Shaw, who was present at
Thursday's meeting, is doing his best to
help make the law clear to the school

BLACK HILLS BOOSTER
Meeting at Rapid City, November 9th, of
Vital Importance to All Black
Hills Towns.

At a meeting held in Rapid City on
November 8, 1921, at which several
Hills towns were represented, plans
were laid for the organization Of a Black
Hills booster organization The name
adopted by the organization is The
Greater Black Hills Association. The
plan outlined is for a combined effort of
the entire Black Hills district to adver-
tise the Black Hills and make the slogan
go to the Black Hills household
phrase in the homes of as many poten.
tial tourists as possible A united
effort will be established and plans for
the organization Of the entire Hills were
discussed.
The tentative plan will be for the
election Of chairman for each town,
elected or appointed by his Commercial
Club. The chairman will have a COM
mittee Of two in bis town working with
him, and who will be qualified dele
gates to the meetings of the association
Dr. Jackson, Of Rapid City, was elect.
ed temporary president for the purpose
of calling an organization meeting
which will be held in Rapid City on
Friday, November Is. Mr. Welles
Crawford, Of Rapid City, will assist Dr.
Jackson as temporary secretary. At
this meeting fnaI organization will be
completed and ways and means Of pro
ceeding effectively will be thoroughly
discussed
The first aim of The organization will
be the promotion Of the best interests Of
the Black Hills as whole without re-
ference to any particular locality or
town in the Hills Hitherto there has
been too much spasmodic effort to ad
yertise particular town or locality, and
by reason of lack of funds and a failure
to present the Hills as a total
such efforts have usually resulted in
failure.
The idea is a splendid one and should
be given fair and thorough tryout and
the hearty cooperation Of all Of the in
teresis III the Hills. ihe pOtentialties
Of the Hills as tourist center have
been in a measure most gratiBiugy
demonstrated during the past two years,
and well organized and sensible cam
pagn Of advertising will assuredly bear
fruit
Hot Springs, Hill City, Nisland, Belle
tourche, Rapid City and Custer were
represented at the meeting. From Gus
ter the men present were 5. f. Ainslie,
w f. Hanley, M. A. Willis and II. X.
Hanley. The meeting followed imme-
diately upon one previously called re-
lative to the North Star Gulf to Alaska

Springs to Custer and thence north
through the Hills and an ont through
