WHEN A WOMAN TELLS

CHAPTER Lxxv-John and Lila Are United.

Y ship must BE-: enlarged in proper

or ship must BE- enlarged in proper
ton.
Battleship costs have increased In q
disproportionate scale to the tonnage.
Naval construction is not simply a
question, Of proportionate expansion.
A 35,O00.ton battleship costs more
than twice as much as q 17,600.ton
ship. Thus in proposing an estab-
lished limit Of size the American dele
CATION has moved definitely in the d.
rection Of an immense economic say
ing.
Size competition has been asfactor
in war provocation. Just prior to the
great war England and Germany were
engaged in a hattie Of naval designers,
which kept the people Of those two
countries keyed up to the expectation
that eventually, perhaps soon. the
rival masterpieces OF. construction
would meet in battie. -
It may be that the limit proposed
in the Hughea plan 10 too high. that
S5,000-ton ships are larger than neces-
sary for purposes Of pacific defense.
But that is a question for later con.
sideration. The important point for
the present IN that this plan carries
the limitation principle to the point
where immense savings can be effect
ed in the matter of naval design and
the insurance against war increased
by checking the tonnage race. ...

Surprising!

Women often do the most surpris.
ing things. 1t is. because Of the sur.
prises they spring on man that he
cannot understand them at all. New
women--college women-seem given
to eccentricities. Here comes in the
news a plan Of college women to
economize by renovating last winters
hats for wear this season. Women
have been known to practice strict
economy in the buying, Of groceries
and to lay down hard rules in economy
for their husbands. and some women
have carried to a fine art the making
over Of dresses, but when q woman es-
says economy in hats the rhe'wotld
stands astounded! In the home eco
nomics division of a western untser.
sity the women, are putting to use
recipes for reblanching white felt
hats, cleaning velvet hats, renovating
beaver hats, reshaping all kinds OF
hats, freshening and . Frightening
feathers and artificial flowers, work
ing up yarn into hat trimmings and
making tassels out Of odds and ends
at home; Very surprising!

Plain Talk.

Thy naval proposals of the United
States: are publicly approved through
out the world. They are really ap-
prosaed by the vast majority of the
people of the United States and the
mass sentiment Of other countries ap-
proves. The great surprise was that
at the, outset of the conference a di-
rect and definite proposal, embodying
the rather vague hopes and desires Of
the,-AHerican people should be laid
down bluntly as working basis. 1t
''called" all those interests" which
might want much talk and little do"
1t was surprise in that the Amer
icaI public is incredulous toward Of
fcsat conferences. We have known
few such conferences that turned out
other. than "resolves" and reports and
did other than postpone hope. Secre-
taryt Hughes knows this, and he
struck the popular thought more
strongly and squarely than any other
public man has done in a long time
WREN he said in effect: I'VE can no
lof1ger content ourselves with investi-
cations. with statistics, with reports,
with the circumlocation of inquiry.

known. The time has come, and this

and Interesting terms, the conference
has taken on a greater importance be-
cause Of them. Tha meeting did not
lack for importance before. but since
the Secretary's speech more attention
than ever centers In 'armaments and
the far east and the Pacific problems.
NJ. BRAND came to America for only
a brief stay. Wilt this change In the
aspect Of things affect his plans7
France has not the same or as much
concern about the conference as Great
Britain, but still is not without con.
siderable concern, and NJ. BRAND is
here as the French premier supported
by q vote Of confidence cast by the
chamber Of deputies almost on the eve
Of his departure from home.

The Latest About Clemenceau.

The gossip about M. Clemenceau
his present occupation and purposes
is very contradictory.
One story has it that he is on the
eve Of re.entering journalism, at the
head Of a paper Of his own. Another
story has 1t that he has written his
last article for the daily press
He Is desirous Of re.entering par.
liamentary life. He has taken per.
manent leave Of that life-has had
enough Of the gentle art" Of over
turning ministries, and in turn OF
having ministries Of his own upset.
He is writing history Of the war
and particularly that part of the great
struggle in which as the premier OF
France he participated. On the con-
trary he will leave that topic to others
His war record he thinks will, bear
examination, and he has no desire to
explain or interpret any portion Of it.
. The latest story has it that NJ
Clemenceau Is engaged in, writing q
book which is to cover the leading per
formances OF hts long life as Journal
ist, as literary man and as legislator
Three years will be necessary to com
plets the work, and II he should die
before its completion the manuscrip,
left behind is to be destroyed.
Let us hope this latest story is true
NJ. Clemenceau, being an octogenariar
whose versatility has led him far in
several directions. has had a varied sx
perience. and IL so inclined now has
an absorbing story to tell. A great
many books are pouring from the
press, but such a book from him would
take a place among the best sellers
anywhere, everywhere, IN England
and America as well as in France.

A Check on Naval Monsters,

The American plan of naval arma-
nrsnt limitation includes one feature
that has been somewhat obscured in
the enthusiasm with which the pro-
posal was received. but which de-
serves particular consideration. One
Of the. items in Secretary Hughes
project Is that no capital ship of more
than $4,000 tons displacement shall
hereafter be constructed. Thus the
Limitation runs not only to the point
Of numbers Of ships but their size.
During recent years-in fact, for q
good many years. race in naval
ahipbuilding has been in progress.
Each power has sought to reach q
higher point in tonnage and gunpower
than that scored by any. other, The
naval, monsters Of thirty years ago
are now small craft compared with
the superdreadnaughts and battle
cruisers Of today. There il apparently
no physical limit to the enlargement
Of the: fighting unit. NavA engineers
and designers will not admit that the
laws Of stress put q barrier upoa the
safe dimensions Of steel construction.
This competition for larger ships Of
war is due to the prevailing belief
that the larger the vessel the more
Formidable. This Is due to the increase
Of gun ealilers, and tnasrnuch as
Iength and weight OF gun increase

The Red Cross Roll Call.

The annual roll CALI of the Amer
lean Red Cross, which opened on
Armistice day and is scheduled to con-
tinue until Thanksgiving. is well
timed. The minds and the hearts Of
America are filled with memories Of
the war. Events, crowding fast one
upon the other, have given the lie to
the assertion that here we have been
swift to forget the tragic lesson Of
yesterday. And it is natural that, as
America thinks Of those terrific days
and Of their effect upon the future,
our thoughts should include the Amer.
lean Red Cross. ."
The history Of the war service Of
those who, under an insignia which
has become the worldwide symbol for
succor rendered in pity and under
standing and friendship. demands no
rehearsal. The memory thereof is still
fresh. The truths which today de-
mand the attention of the nation are
other than those which concern the
Red Cross and the war. They deal
with the achievements Of the organi.
zation since the return Of the Ameri-
can armies from overseas. For it is
upon this basis. rather than upon the
capitalization Of its war record, that
the support Of the public for the fu-
ture must be sought. And with its
record for the past year in its hands
the Red Cross justly sounds its roll
call for the year which is ahead with
pride and confidence.
That record establishes the fact that
during each month Of the year in
question the Red Cross has been in
touch with an average Of 12s,215 ex-
service men and their families. 1t
shows that today the organization Is
providing service costing $10,000,000
a year to veterans of the war; that
1,163 nurses have been furnished the
public health service; that SOC, ,445
children have been inspected for phys
ical defects and means Of their cor
rection recommended; that 100000
has been contributed to the starving
children. Of Europe and 100000 gar
ments made for distribution among
them; that $500, 900 in relief has been
sent to famine-stricken China, assist
ance rendered in seventy disasters in
the United States and $50 health cen
ters established throughout the coun-
try. s. 49, - =.
That record is the recommendation
Of the American Red Gross for the
continued support Of the nation.
Dedicated to 1.-The service Of those who
suffer-" the organization is no less
splendidly equipped for the needs of
today and tomorrow than it was for
those Of the yesterdays in which its
workers won the heartfelt gratitude
of America for war services faithfully
and heroicany performed. Washing
tonians. together with their fellow
citizens throughout the country, can
not but make hearty response as the
roll is called.

A. University of Citizenship.

President Harding yesterday per-
formed a valuable public service when,
in his speech at the ceremony Of lay
ing the corner stone Of the National
Victory Memorial, he directed the at
tention Of the American people to g.
view Of George Washington not made
the subject of close study. Taking as
hfs' st the will Of Washington. a
copy Of which was appropriately
placed in. the corner stone Of the build
ing that is to rise as a national tribute
TO him and to all who have since him
served in the wars of the United
States, the President in the brief
phEaseology that marks his public
utterances, asks consideration for
Washington on his personal and pri-
vate side, "a very model Of good eiti-
zenship." ..~''
One <of the chief provisions in the
will of.Washington was fund for the
endowment OF a university in Gen.
trail part Of the United States. Such a
university has not been created upon
tution bearing his name now thrives
at the capital. but without the aid Of
the funds left by the first President.
1t has remained, as the President
stated. yesterday, for the patriotic
women. and men to whom this victory
msmoriai now begun is due to make
possible an institution which expresses
Washington impeiling thought. The
purpose of this memorial is to provide
a. gathering place for Americans,
where American minds can meet in
fruitful exchanges Thus, as the
President suggests, this institution
located at. the National Capital may
become in its varied uses a veritable
university of American citizenship.
The victory memorial for which the
President yesterday bespoke the sup
port of the American people will be
the place where their representatives
will chiefly meet, to consider an in
finite variety of problems, to discuss
welfare. The city of Washington has
become the meeting place for all the
nRttmls,. hut unhappily it has yet to
be equipped with a proper assembly
building. Now, through this enter
prise, which the President yesterday
inadgdrated, it will have the means
to house thousands in assemblage. and
from week to week and year to year
these meetings will constitute in the
hest sense that university for the cul-
tiystion Of good citizenship which
Washington desired.
