BRITISH To GET
ARMS REPORT
BY International News Service

LONDON, July 22.--The cabinet
will meet at 2:s0 this afternoon to
hear reports on the tri-partite naval
disarmament conference from the
Hon. w. C. Bridgeman and Viscount
Cecil.
This cabinet session may be vital
to the success of the conference as
it is understood that the question of
whether Great Britain will make
concessions on the caliber of guns on
small cruisers will be raised.
The problem of cruiser armament
is now the most important one before
the conference and unless the Brit
ish Cabinet agrees to some measure
of compromise. the conference may
face a real crisis.

SCIENCE MAKES
. NEW RELIGION

NEW YORK. July 22.-Dr. Henry
Emerson Fosdick. pastor Of Park
Avenue Baptist Church, talked to
the Columbia University summer
session on the new science and the
old religion.
The new science, he said. was
forcing religion ito deal with new
ideas in the theoretical realm and
with new powers in the practical
realm" 1t was, DIR. Fosdick said,
driving religion into a new view
of the world, instead of "the old
world view, utterly outgrown for
all intelligent minds"
The entire Bible, DR.. Fosdick said,
tells stories Of men living on a
stationary earth, with skies and
light above and place for the
dead underneath, he said, we think
OF a world today that is vast be-
yond comprehension; no longer is
Bishop Usher's chronology that the
world was created precisely in. the
year 4004 B. c., taken seriously.
Even the Westminster Confession,
latest of the classic Protestant
creeds, was drawn before Newton
described the doctrine of gravita.
biOAts AhSAS was IuS pAODlCAtAS hS
said, to bring the old spiritual val
ues under the new framework.
1.-THE turmoil resulting from this
problem is obvious, both inside
many personal lives and in the
frantic endeavors of some states to
hold up by law the progress Of the
new science. In spite of all he
wilderment and difficulty, the
problem, however, will be solved.
Religion springs from deep roots
in the human heart. 1t can never
be eradicated, we never can believe
that the spiritual values OF good.
ness. truth. beauty and love are
the accidental results Of dynamic
dirt going it blind"
Not only does the new science
put it up to religion to take hold
Of new ideas, but to handle new
powers as well. Every new power
discovered has its possibilities for
good or evil and man is spiritually
strong enough to handle them, &C.
cording to DR.. Fosdick and "the
future il very bright indeed"
Personally" he said, II expect
to see in the next generation a
powerful revival Of interest in re-
ligion. The soul OF man will yet
measure up to this twofoId task
which science has presented to It
and viii handle both the new ideas
and the new powers TO such good
effect that mankind will find itself
facing an era more full of promise
than our fathers ever knew"

PAYING FOR CAMP SERVICE

Methods of conducting tourit camps come in for
discussion at this time of year. great many cities
and towns in all parts of the country have such
camps of this sort located in the open country. They
vary IN type from open space among trees elab
orately equipped sites with running water lights,
stoves and other conveniences.
One question in regard to camps which is still
tied is the advlsabty of ntainng them free or
charging nominal fee for their use. Another i'm
portant question involves the length of time any tour
lists may remain.
There seems to be growing opinion that it is wise to
charge little for camp service. 1t seems to be hu-
nature to have respect for a thing that is
paid for. There are fewer abuses Of camp privileges

THE HAGUE OPIUM AGREEMENT

A number of years before the unsuccessful opium
conferences at Geneva in 19245 there had been an
ternational meeting at The Hague and an agreement
upon certain procedure Article of that agreement
to which the United States party, pledged the
slgners Ito limit the manufacture, sale and use Of
morphine cocaine and their respective salts medical
and legitimate only
The United States has done good deal toward
carrying out that plan. But complete of its
work is made impossible by the failure of other coun
tries to do their part Our government believes that
My small part of the drugs manufactured here is
diverted to illicit channels yet the situation remains
very bad because of the difficulty Of keeping out
smugged narcotic drugs readily obtained for that
trade IN other countries
Rather shrewdy, but quite politely this government
addresses diplomatic note to all other nations sigma
tory to The Hague opium convention in 1912 tell
ing them of its efforts of the difficulties has
encountered and Of the outside influences beyond its
control 1t asks if the other governments won't also
make frank statement of the existing situation in
their countries, telling what they have done and what
they willing to do asking suggestions as to
whether they think there is anything more that we
can do.
The conferences at Geneva failed. Here is real
agreement which excellent in itself though never
carried out. Why not, says Uncle Sam, make Of
this old agreement right to correct Of the
obvious evils of the narcotic drug trade? Then
maybe, other steps can be taken later

A CHANGE APPEARS NEEDED

TO the layman at least it is difficult to understand
the law which in executes man, who though
involved in murder, is not the actual murderer, in
other Furnishes actual murderers with prison
terms Incredibly short and in still other permits
the actual nurderers to go scot free
The statement is prompted by the execution last
week of one Arnold, at Folsom prison. He of
of three involved in robbery which resulted in the
killing of Japanese woman. The actual murderer
committed suicide the next day. thereby escaping the
gallows.
His two companions caught, convicted and
sentenced to be hanged. Arnold paid the supreme
penalty last Friday. His companion, Sayer, is to be
executed this coming Friday. Testimony at the trial
showed that not only Arnold innocent of firing
any shot, he remained seated in automobile while
his two companions entered store to rob it.
We hold brief for Arnold. Our argument is not
necessarily that he punished too severely,
though it does appear in that light but that other Grim
lnals, more guilty than he not sufficiently
punished.
In county we had in the past two years, at
least two where actual murderers escapted with
prison sentences. One of them double
