taking an option on the famous ola
Bonney mining properties in that Sec

COOLIDGE MAY D1sAPPRovE

WASHINGTON, Sept. "a. - (AP) =
President Coolidge is disinclined to
consider the question of American par
ticipation in the arms limitation confer
ence proposed today in Geneva until it's
exact nature is clearly understood.
1t was emphasized at the White
House that the good wishes of the
president would be given to every effort
made in Geneva to reduce armament
and that he was anxious to give any
help in his power to that end. There
can be no question, however, that he
has been somewhat disappointed with
regard to the proceedings of the pre-
liminary arms commission, particularly
insofar as the expert committees of
that gathering have touched upon ma
val matters.
The Washington government has not
lost sight of the fact that representa-
tives of nations which have no navies
participated in these technical discus
sions and this point has been brought
out by the American delegates and 9TH
ers in the course of the expert commit
tee sessions. If the general conference
proposed today will include within the
discussion of purely naval questions the
of non-naval powers
there are grave doubts whether the
government will partici-
pate
1t was also made clear today at the
White House that in this connection
the Washington government would be
unlikely to regard such general con-
ference maintained substantial naval
1ri,,
about the results for which it is press
ing, and it seems probable the answer
to any invitation that may be received
to such a conference would be framed
in the light of this feeling.

The dignity of work,
Teach US to labor for this soil,
A duty meier to shirk.
Help US to see with eyes of faith,
Give US the patriots mood,
Help US to grasp ere it's too late,-
The things that are for good,
Remove from US all .selfishness,
All vain, all foolish pride,
Implant the germ of usefulness,

Remove, we ask, all party strife,
That tends to block the way,
Give US a calm a peaceful life,
Give US the light of day.
Illumine souls with heavens light,
Help US to see mistakes,
Help US to win the heroes fight,
To win the heroes stakes.
