ASK PRES, COOLIDGE
TO CALL ANOTHER
ARMS CONFERENCE

| Washington, Jan. 81 - President
Coolidge is authorized and requested
to call a second arms conference I'M
der an amendment to the naval APP
preparation bill approved today by
the senate without either discussion
or a record vote before that measure
was passed
At the same time. Senator Nickel
| lar. Democrat, Tennessee, offered a
resolution requesting the president
to inform the senate if the last arms
conference treaty limiting the navies
! of the great powers was violated by
! Great Britain in the construction of
the Rodney and the Nelson, which
! have been described in the senate as
combination battleships and aircraft
carriers. The resolution went over
under the rules. but Senator Nickel
Lar said he would press for early &C
! ton on it.
The amendment relating to a sec
! ond arms conference, which would
deal with both land and naval forces.
was sponsored by Senator King,
Democrat. Utah. and accepted with
on. opposition by Chairman Hale OF
the naval committee.
While President Coolidge has indi-
Gated that he favored a second con-
ference. administration officials have
, made it plain that he did not consider
the time appropriate. For that rea-
son administration senators had been
opposed to the King amendment.
While no formal explanation was
given. it was understood that these
senators offered no resistance to the
proposal in the hope of eXpediting
passage of the bill. They had been
informed that unless the amend
ment was written into the measure
there would be a protracted fight
from the Democratic side.
A similar proposal relating only to
sea forces. however. was incorporat-
ed in the last annual naval supply
bill but the house did not include it
! in the pending measure and it is the
expectation of some senators, at
least. that the King amendment will
be eliminated when the. bill is con-
sidered by house and senate con-
fereeS.

been suspected but never proved.

In the gallery further small tomb

"A myriad Of men are bern; they
labor ana sweat ana struggle Tor
bread; they squsbbls ana scold and

crseps upon them; inarmtties follow;
ahames and humiliations bring down
their prides and their vanitiss. Those
they love ara takso from them, and
the Joy Of life 10 turned to aching
grief The burden Of pain, care, mis-
cry, grows heavier year By year. At
length ambition Is dead; pride IL dead;
vanity is dead; longing for release is
in their place. 1t comes at last-the
only imprisoned gift earth ever had
for them-and they vanish from
world where they were OF no conse-
Quence; where they achieved nothing;
where they were mistake and fall
ure and a foolishness; where they
have left no sign that they have ex-
isted--a world which will lament them
for day and forget them forever.
Then another myriad takes their place,
and copies all they did, and goes along
the same protitless road, and vanishes
a. they vanished-to make room FOR
another and another and million
