that the world might know the end of military domination.
 But while we pay the fullest measure of honor to these dead he- roes, we must turn the major portion of our endeavors today to the living, not only to the cripples, but to edu- cate the coming generation that such cruel war may never again be known, the beginning of another years effort to make the world better place in which to live"
 Aid for Disabled Men
 Claude D. Jones spoke for 10 min utes on the subject of the disabled veterans of the World war. He said in part:
 'The situation today turns always to economies; it bears us on today as never before. Facts are more eio- quent than words. While we were spending $33,000, 100000 as the cost of the war, what were these service men spending? Many lie in graves today and many are wrecked in health and body. We cannot measure the cost of war in dollars and cents. Of the 100000 disabled ex-service men, 10000 are receiving monthly install ment from the government. There are 633, ,000 carrying government in
  claims being considered.
 There are 29,000 disabled ex-serv- ice men in hospitals, the cost last year for disqualification work being { 52 100000. The government board considering the merit of these cases is most liberal. Even though in many cases the man did not receive his disability in the line of service yet they consider that to educate him and prepare him to take his place as useful member of society is a bene- fit to the country at large.
 "One hundred thousand are taking vocational education. Six thousand have been rehabilitated, increasing their earning capacity of S1,100 per year before the war to $1,400 at the present time. It is a fine thing for the government as well as for the men. They are not making loafers, but men of gainful employment. The United States is caring for the dis abled ex-Service men in a splendid manner"
 Nations Military Power
 The present military power and policy of the United States was the subject of brief talk by Howard l.. Peek. He outlined the act of con- gress providing for the military force " tional guard and organized reserve. The whole system, he declared, is based on voluntary service. MT. Peek gave as his opinion that mili- tary system that puts the whole bur den of preparation for war on few is not right. Until the nations of the world absorb the principles of Rotary, declared MT. Peek, it is req sonable to suppose that wars will continue. He gave it as wise pre- cept: "In time of peace prepare for war" He also stated as a most equitable solution, compulsory mili- | tary education between certain ages. | The speaker closed by declaring | that Rotary has a large mission fin l the world.
 The conference in Washington on ] limitation of armament was the subject of a brief talk by Mel Fickas. ! He review the various problems of | the five big nations whose represent | atives are at the conference and | showed with what ease, any headway l toward an agreement of any kind could be blocked. However, he de- clared that if the representatives ap- proach the conference in a business | like manner they could come to an agreement to halt for a time in the mad race or WarSnlp DulldinS. His address was an interesting one and was closely followed by the Ro- | tarians.
