know from their own experience the agonies
of the battlefield and the suffering of women
and children in the homeland. Iwant to believe
that their understanding of the c~ruelties and
hardships of war, and their love of their w
people, will never permit them within this gen
Grafton again to plunge the Western World into
armed conflict-for war brings no victories,
but only death and mutilation and restitution
and personal sorrow.
1--WE close this Conference of 1899 with malice
toward none, with good will toward all, and we
ask for peace, not bowed by fear, but with the
simple courage of the soldier who stands ready
to give life gladly that others may know the
joy of living"

Naval Reseryists
Preparing for
Summer Cruisinq
Training Vessel Is
Being OverhouIed
At Navy Yard

When the first signs Of spring ap-
pear. members of the Naval Re-
serve begin to think OF the water
and cruises down the Potomac and
out to sea, and ships to 60 on. Work
was started last week on overhaul
ing and putting in the best OF con-
dition the training launch which
has served as means Of instruction
during the week ends of the summer.
That is the bird in the hand which
the Reservists are looking forward
to now, and they are going at the
preparations with q vim, although
they are expecting almost any time
to have here another training YES
sci, which is fitting out at the
Charleston Is. CO. Navy Yard. They
had hoped to have the ship here
before this, In view of the fact that
work was started on her last fall,
but they are still waiting, but while
doing this marking time they are
going to make the best of the pres
ent training facilities so as to get
in as many week ends Of training as
possible.
Furthermore, their interest was
increased in preparing the launch
for training purposes because they
have been informed that she will
remain here as an additional train
ing vessel even after the larger YES
sci arrives. With the two boats
here, the Reservists will be able to
have a small flotilla Of their own,
and when both go out they can
engage in a little battle formation
maneuvering on their own account,
designating one of the vessels nag
