WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY

Washington, Feb. 6.-Extreme dan
ger to the nation exists IN the tehta-
tive plan of members OF Congress 10
make material reduction IN the
personnel of the navy, according 10
high naval officers VINO are compe-
tent to Judge the situation. Inc!
fear, and present strong arguments
to prove their conclusions. that
Congress may take wrong view OF
the arms conference and It's reduc-
tions as a reason for reducing the
authorized personnel of the navy TO
an extent whereby the shops author
ized under the five-Power naval
treaty cou.d not be manned.
Figures to prove the conclusions OF
the naval officers are not LOOKING.
The navy now has about 10000 en-
listed men and a few more than 6,0OU
officers, including the various staff as
we'll as line officers. This number is
not. in the judgment OF naval eX>
perts. sufficient to man efficiently
the f force of ships authorized under
the naval treaty.
The general staff of the navy is
now at work figuring on the mini
mum number Of men to man the
ships authorized in the treaty and
although definite figures have not
been compiled, the experts already
have enough data to know that in
the neighborheod Of 10000 officers
and men will be required.
To President Harding today fell
the honor of closing the conference
on the Limitation of Armaments and
Pacific and Far Eastern questions
which he so auspiciously started.
After the delegates formally affixed
their signatures to the various treat
les the President thanked them on
behalf of the government of the
United States and urged them, as
representatives of their nations, on
to further acts to bring about the
gradual limitation of the armaments
of the world to point where often
sive warfare will be impossible.
Having by choice occupied a back
seat since the beginning Of the con
ference, the President assented to
the request that he deliver the fare
we'll address to the delegates and
congratulated them on the work in
behalf of peace which they accom-
plished.
While the conference has not &C.
complished everything it started III
to DO, nevertheless, unbiased observ-
ers must admit that it has been
fruitful of an immense amount OF
success from every standpoint. Not
ony have the nations entered into a
solemn pact to reduce their navies
and relieve the world and weary tax
payers of the nations involved Of the
enormous expense and war threat of
naval armament, but they have
reached just and fair solution OF
the questions of the Far East. each
of which contained the menace of
war
A supplement TO the four-Pacific
treaty designed to remove the home
land Of Japan from the scope OF the
treaty has been adopted By the Arms
Conference. The United States.
Great Britain, Japan and France
have agreed to the supplement and it
will be incorporated in the treaty
when it is sent to the Senate for rat
ificaton. This supplement is expect
ed to remove many of the objections
to the four-Power treaty and will
make certain its ratification. it is
believed. The supplement comes as a
result Of statement made by Pres

I Notice That----

clan please let me know If she is i'm
proving? I'm sure she was very weak
for the gentleman with her had much
difficulty holding her up. And | felt
sorry for him because I know his right
arm was fatigued.
A theater man was with me on the
same car and he said that in the thea
ters they called such cases bench
lounEenitis'' and that it was almost
an epidemic among the young couples
in Pueblo and the only sure cure was
plenty of light and company. But
there was plenty of light on the stree,
car and plenty OF company so I think
his cure Is all bunk as far as the street
cars arc concerned.
Tho disease, | have noticed, has been
more prevalent in Pueblo since the
traction company raised the car fare
to six cents. SO 1 think the only way
to cure 1t will be to reduce the fare
to the pre-war level Of five cents.

quis of Curzon and Mr.. Harvey In
dulged in eulosies of Mr.. Balfour.

diction that the United States senate
was as certain to ratify the various
treaties as the British parliament was
to sanction them.
'As a result OF the Pacific pact,

occasion so moving and so difficuit
to do justice to as this welcome. Tho
for the moment he appeared In the
forefront of the picture he pointed
QUE that the part of any lndlVidua'
was but a small matter in dealing with
issues so great as We're handled at
Washington. The Washington con-
ference. Mr. Balfour declared. was OF
unmixed benefit to mankind. One or
two things he hoped, had been ac-
complished but the greatest satlsfac-
tion was that nothing bad been done
which carried the evil seed OF future
misfortunes lie did not agrcc with
the only suggestion of criticism OF the
conference he had heard-that the
results were nimical to the League

Tho league could not have done
what the Washington conference did,
he exclaimed emphatically amid
cheers ''rhc world Is in such condi-
tion that all machinery and every IN
strumont upon which we can lay our
hands are needed to raise it to its pre-
war level"
Neither could Washington accomp-
lish in his opinion the work OF the

not yet been discovered.
