HARDING SIGNS
NAVY BUDGE
BILL
Proposal for Calling New Par.
ley on Arms Included
in Draft.

President Harding today signed
the naval appropriation bill, In
corporated in which was q request
from Congress that he take steps
toward the calling Of a new world
armament conference to restrict
submarines and aircraft, which
were not touched by the Washing
ton conference.
The President signed the bill In
his study in the mansion without
comment. 1t is known, however,
he believes the present time not
propitious for the calling of such
a conference, and consequently no
steps in the direction asked are
probable In the near future.
Refusal Of France and Italy thus
far to ratify the Washington con-
ference treaties and the chaotic
state Of Europe are the reasons as
signed by administrator leaders for
not deeming another arms confer
ence practicable at this time.
The navy bill carries an appropri-
alton Of z$294, ass, 52S for the main
tenance Of the navy for the coming
fiscal year. This is $347, AT less
than the budget estimate and $103,.
055 more than for the current IFS
cal year.
The President also signed de-
ficiency appropriation bill carrying
$79, 900, 900.

Music BY Navy Band
Will Feature Hero
Medal Ceremonies
BY WILLIAM MOORE.

No event, no matter how Inn
portant In itself, would be COM
plete without the injection of a
musical program.
This is particularly true today
In Washington, where music has
gained such firm hold on the af-
fections Of the people that 1t will
never be removed from its exalted
pedestal.
It is, therefore, highly appro.
pirate that music be given an Inn
portant part in the program The
Washington Times Is arranging In
honor Of its hero policemen and fire
men.
musical side Of the program will be
the concert to be given by tho
famous Navy Band, under the de
rection Of Bandmaster Charles
Benter.
Nearly everyone in Washington
has heard Mr. Benter's band of
trained musicians, either in concert
or during some civic or military pro.
cession ''up the Avenue"
Praised by Critics.
Mr.. Benter has built up from the
talent drawn from the unsteady.
inclined biuejackets stationed at the
Nations Capital band which has
been lavishly praised by eminent
critics. 1t IL a versatile musical
organization. its repertoire including
the most difficult selections as well
as the purely military, but highly
stirring, band marches,
Mr.. Benter himself IL a musician
who has devoted many years of
study to his art. He directs with
facility and vigor, and brings out
every bit of music from the various
Instruments.
Singing Arranged,
The program. however, will not
be confined exclusively to band
music. 1t Is expected that Robert
Lawrence, director of the Com
munity Music Association, whose
Sunday night concerts at Central
High School Community Center are
the talk of the city, will put on"
a song fest in which everybody
will participate,
Mr., Lawrence has the happy
faculty of making people sing.
When he stands in front of large
gathering and calls into play his win
some smile and urges everybody to
''whoop it up," staid business and
professional men and women drop
their reserve like a hot potato and
join Justify in the singing of some
simple folk song,
Lawrence probably will suggest
to Mr., Benter the names of several
first-ciass Vocalists who will assist
in making the musical end of the
program distinct success.
