ington, and if, as | trust,
there in a spirit not merely

alton to convert the President
aspiration into a practical W
agreement. the war will not
been fought in vain.
$50 far as ! am concerned,
here I speak not only as the resi-
sible head of the British Adnlra ~
but as one Of the official delegates,
I come in the spirit Of quiet confidence
that the results Of this Conference
will be such as amply to justify Pres
ident Harding's far seeing initiative;
and, personally, | am not prepared
even to contemplate the possibilities
of failure. To do so would be to as
sumo that the world was afflicted
with an incurable insanity and could
not be restrained from suicide.
THE greatest needs of mankind to-
dav and for the future, are peace ana
relief from the burdens of war which
peace ought to bring. No one recog-
nizes that more clearly and fully than
the British Government and people,
ard none has given greater proofs OF
sincerely in the pursuit of these hlgh
objects. BY their bold and, so far
lonely lead in reduction Of naval arm.
aments: BY their frank acceptance OF
the principal of equality with Amer
lea in the matter of naval strength,
as also BY their present policy of con-
ciliation and concession in Ireland,
thew have made it clear to the world
that they not only seek peace but en-
sue it.
at is the same spirit of practical
cndeavor that the British delegates
come to Washington, resolved that
short of compromising the safety OF
the empire or sea-security upon
which it's very existence depends, a
BETRAYAL of our ancient heritage OF
which they could never be guilty
they will go to almost any length to
meet the other great naval powers
in a mutual and proportionate effort

The names of four Democrats of
prominence appear in the list of the
membership which is to comprise the
advisory committee of the conference
on the limitation Of ornaments. Gov
ernor John NJ. Parker, halls from
Louisiana, and although he has held
Progressive ideas from time to time,
along with those of the late Prcsi
dent Roosevelt, he is once more back
in the Democratic fold. Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, has always been
classed as a Democrat and during the
last Wilson campaign advised all his
followers to vote the Democratic
ticket. Willard Salisbury is a former
Democratic Senator from Delaware.
while Charles S. Barrett, who halls
from Georgia, is president of the
Farmers Union. Naturally, a vast
majority of the members of this ad-
visory committee are members of the
party in power.
/ In response to recent inquiries con-
cerning the probable sale of steel YES
sells belonging to the Shipping Board
arrangements are being made by the
trustees of the Fleet CORPORATION to
advertise in the next few days ten OF
twelve of the freight vessels of To-
600 ton types Included in the lot will
be four hulls built in China. These
vessels will be chosen from the pick
of the fleet and if offers are at all
reasonable there is little doubt that
the sale will be made Before they go
on the market the ships will be ap-
praised by the American Bureau of
Shipping. The sale will be by private
competitive bids.

1t is expected that the question of
giving a bonus to the men who
fought in the World War will be one
of the principal issues in the nexs
Congressional campaign. Senator
Reed, of Missouri, put the Repub"
licans on the run when he proposed
that the soldier bonus should be paid
through continuation Of the excess
profit tax Senator Simmons, of North
Carolina is now ready to propose that
the soldier bonus be paid out of the
interest to be received from the for
egn debt. On the railroad refund
ing bill, the Democrats are preparing
to charge that the Republicans were
quite willing to pay money to the rail
roads but exceedingly unwilling to
pay bonuses to the defenders of the
nation.

WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY
(From Our Special Correspondent.

Washington, Nov. 2.--During his
visit to Washington on Monday, T.
Lee Trinkle, who is to be the next
Governor of Virginia, took occasion
to cali upon Mrs. Woodrow Wilson,
wife of the former president. When
the present Mrs. Wilson was a school
girl in Virginia, she and the Democra-
tic candidate for Governor, were
warm, personal friends. MIR. Trinkle.
therefore, thought it would be only
an act Of courtesy to pay his respects
to his longtime friend and acqualnt-
ance and he journeyed to the Wilson
home on S st. Mrs. Wilson and Mr..
Trinkle spent a few moments chat
ting about the old days and talking
about many of the good times they
had had together, recalling some OF
the old acquaintances both had known
before either had ever come into pub
lie light. Mrs. Wilson expressed her
great pleasure at renewing the ac-
uuaintance of her old chum and Mr..
Trinkle declared he never spent a
more profitable few minutes in all
his life. Under the advice of his ply
sician, the former President was not
able to greet the Democratic Cub
ernatorial candidate but sent his
warmest regards and best wishes Tor
success through his wife.
