WILSON HAS
new GRIP ON
DEMO PARTY
Lawrence Says He'll Pick
1924 Presidential
Candidate.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
Washington, D. c., Nov. 13.-
Woodrow Wilson, health permitting
and he's getting better every day
will have a decisive influence in
the selection of the Democratic
nominee for the presidency in 1894.
The demonstration before the
Wilson home. the first lengthy
speech from the ex-president since
he was stricken in the autumn OF
1919 and his readiness to discuss
public issues once more in letters
to prominent Democrats are plainly
a sequel to the election Of last
week.
Nothing has contributed more to
the rejuvenation Of Woodrow Will
sons spirit. nothing has proved so
effective a tonic to his health than
the election returns which, differ as
one may about their meaning. were
interpreted by Mr.. Wilson, at any
rate, as the swinging Of the pen
dulum back in his direction. Too
exhausted to undertake again the
arduous tasks Of a presidential
candidacy, Mr.. Wilson cares far
more about the vindication Of the
principles which he championed-
and this will affect the choice Of q
candidate more than personal wish
or favor. .,,-..-.-

Jefferson or Jackson or some Of the
figures Of a century ago had stepped
forward out Of the portals Of an
other world to bring back word
OF caution to a new generation
Cheering there was-and no one
can doubt its sincerity-but it was
not the fanatical outburst Of q po-
litical or campaign crowd. 1t was
the response Of . crowd that was
too awe-struck, TOO surprised to
cheer continuously. For moment
the feeble figure with head bowed
and hands clasping tightly sup
porting cane moved q step or two
and many a throat caught lump.
But a second later, with his feet
firmly fixed in position, so to speak,
the head was lifted, the cane was
loosely hung by its crook in an up
per breast pocket Of the overcoat,

| its greeting over the heads of sew
eral thousand men and women
packed tightly in the narrow thor

day. The death toll will probably
be at least 1000, it is. estimated,
and the property loss will run into
the millions, as several towns were
almost entirely wiped out and
heavy damage to buildings and
communication lines, and particu-
larly ships along the 1.400 miles Of
coast affected by the huge waves
has resulted from the violent up

property damages and distress
wrought by the catastrophal dis
turbances has not yet been learned,
except in a general way, as many
communication lines, both over
land and under water, were put
out Of operation.

Giant Tidal Wave.
: The tidal wave which followed
the earthquakes indicated a gigan-
tic disturbance beneath the Pa
cific. The waters first were drawn
away from shore, far below the low
tide mark, and then they came

NAVY CURB TREATY
BEFORE THE PARLEY
Pact Entered Into by the
Great Powers Submitted
by Secretary Hughes.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN

The naval limitation treaty. the first
pact of it's kind in the history of the
world ever entered into by great pow
ers, was laid before the Washington
conference today by Secretary Hughes.
The assent of the five powers sign
ing the treaty was signal to sup
porters of the movement for limita-
ton of armament that the first great
step had been taken. 1t is their hope
that the success of the new treaty
will lead to it's perpetuation far be-
yond the fifteen-year limit set in the
treaty itself. 1t is their hope that
eventually there will be limitation of
all kinds of naval craft and of land
armament.
The naval treaty is the fruit of the
program laid down by Secretary
Hughes at the opening of the Wash
ineton conference November Pa
program that caused the world to
gasp with astonishment at it's bold
ness.
Limits Capital Ship Tonnage.
The treaty limits the tonnage of
capital ships and of aircraft carriers
which in the future may be held by
the powers signing the agreement.
1t does not limit the total tonnage of
cruisers and other auxiliary craft. An
agreement on this important matter
was prevented by the conflicting
views of France and the other pow
ers as to the submarine tonnage
which should be allowed them.
The naval treaty, however, which is
signed by the United States. Great
Britain, France, Italy and Japan, fixes
limit to the tonnage of the great
battleships. the vessels which today
cost in the neighborhood of s4O.-
| 100000 to build. 1t fixes the limit to
the essentially offensive naval craft.
1t fixes a limit to the aircraft car
capital ships Of the future.
Total capital ship replacement
tonnage of each of the contracting
powers as fixed by the treaty is as
follows:
United States, $4,000 tons; British
Empire, $4,000 tons; France, 175,O0O
tons; Italy, 175,000 tons; Japan. 315,-
900 tons.
Moreover, it is provided that no
capital ships exceeding $4,000 tons
shall be acquired or constructed by
any of the contracting powers No
capital ship of the powers shall carry
a gun with caliber in excess of six
teen inches So much for the battle
ships and battle cruisers.
Clause ON Aircraft Carriers.
The total tonnage for aircraft car
riers of each of the contracting
powers is fixed as follows:
United States, $4,000 tons: British
Empire, $4,000 tons; France, $4,000
