NATIONS ARE ASKED
TO REDUCE NAVIES
Scrapping of Capital Warships
and Ten-Year Halt in build
ing Is Proposed.
Washington, D C .— More drastic
and far-reaching than th«- most ardent
advocate of disarmament dared hope
were the American proposals laid lev
fore the arms conference at Its flrat
session by Secretary Hughes.
A ten-year naval holiday Is the pro
posal, and the United States, Oreat
Britain and Japan shall scrap 66 capi
tal ships aggregating 1,878,043 tons.
Within three months after the con
clusion of sn agreement, the United
States would have 18 capital ships.
Great llrltaln 22 and Japan 10. Ton
nage of the three nations, respe ctively,
would be 500,650, 604,460 and 299,700
Might Replace Ships.
Ships when 20 years old might be
replaced arid the replacement scheme
Is 500,000 tons for the United States,
600.000 tons for Great Britain and
300.000 tons for Japan
No replace
ments could exceed 36.000 tons
The United States would scrap 30
capita! hip», aggregating 943,740 tons;
Gre-it Britain 19. aggregating 683,376
tons, and Japan 17. aggregating «18.-
928 tons
The figures Include old shlpH to be
scrapped, ships building or for which
material haa been assembled
The American proposal, concrete
and detailed, fell on the opening mom
ents of the great conference like a
bombshell
Foreign delegates were
stun lied
Conference Atmosphere Cordial.
Seldom has n conference of nations
assembled in an atmosphere of greater
cordiality than that which enveloped
the opening session of the armament
conference.
From the moment Secretary Hughes
called the conference to order until
the Inst delegate had departed the
deference everywhere apparent was a
notable feature. Kvpn the astonish
nv*nt of delegates and spectators at
the naval reduction proposal of the
American government failed to halt
the exchange of courtesies or develop
any manifestation of doubt that the
negotiations would be crowned with
success.
A. J Balfour, head of the British
delegation, was the first among for
eign delegates to strike the general
note of harmony.
He received prolonged applause
when he proposed that as nn extra
ordinary tribute to Secretary Hughes
and the United States the secretary of
state act as chairman hy common con
sent and without a formal election.
The galleries helped the spirit of
good feeling along by calling for one
after another of the distinguished dele
gates until every head of a visiting
delegation had spoken.
After Hughes called the conference
to order prayer was offered by the
president's pastor, the Rev. W. S.
Ahernothy o f Calvary Baptist church.
Immediately at the conclusion of the
prayer President Harding rose and
began delivery of his address.
Mr. Harding road his speech slowly
and deliberately from small printed
pnges which he held In the hollow of
his left hand. With his right he punc
tuated his statements with driving
g*'sture.
MATTER OF LUCK

Odd Ways by Which Property

Distribution Loft to Whim of Card*
— Will Written on Shirt C u ff-
Found In Books.
“The Pack of Cards Case” was re
ferred to lu Justice Rurgiuve La-ane's
court the other week and It Is one of
the most remarkable of what may be
termed haphazard bequests, a writer
In London Answers observes.
The
testatrix, suffering from a paralytic
stroke, had a pack o f cards dealt to
her by her solicitor bearing the names
o f her relatives.
On another pack
were details of her various properties.
The solicitor “ dealt" her a card with
the name of a person, and she played
to It a card with an Item of her estate
on It. The solicitor gathered the trick,
ar»d the trick was done; but whether
everybody was satisfied that they were
lucky at cards Ls another matter.
A man who was found In a dying
condition, having met with gun acci
dent while «ait shooting alone, had
written his last will and testament oo
hts shirt cuff with a fountain pen. It
was duly signed and as Its provisions
were very simple and Its Intention ob
viously sincere. It passed muster with
out any difficulty.
Shipwrecked sailors have made their
wills upon the most strange things—
tmipty meat-tins, the soles o f their
boots, a handkerchief—anything they
could lay their hands on at the last
moment.
The great Russian novelist, Tolstoy,
wrote his wlU on the stump o f a tree.
In this remarkable document ls the
following passage; “ Bury roe where I
die. I f In town, then In the cheapest
«•oflln, the chApest cemetery, like a
[►tinper. No flowers, no wreaths, no
speeches, without priests or liturgy If
possible."
Book collectors occasionally come
across strange finds. On one of the
bookstalls by the side o f the Heine a
Issik-lover found two pag«-s o f an old
volume stuck together.
He open«*]
them carefully and found three hank-
nottoi for 1 .ntm frsnes *-uch ; also a note
which read as follow s:
“ Friend, whoever thou art, he lega
tee without remorse o f this little for
tune. It Is all my pen has brought
me In 50 years. May the muses be
more favorable to thee, for thou art
surely a man o f letters.” Then fol
lowed the writer's Initials and the
date.
But the most haphazard will on rec
ord was the one which said: “ I own
71 pairs of trousers. It ls my desire
that they be sold by public auction,
nnd that the product of their sale be
distributed among the deserving poor.
They must be sold to the highest bid
ders, bot no one must be allowed to
purchase two pairs.”
The 71 pairs o f pants were knocked
down to as many bidders, and the
proceeds hand«*] over to the parochial
authorities for distribution.
A few
«lays after th<> sale one o f the buyers
took It Into his head to examine his
purchase more carefully, and he found
stitched s«*curely In the waistband a
small canvas bag containing t«*n $100
note«.
The tidings of this amazing discov
ery spread like wildfire, and each
fortunate p«ss«*ss<>r o f the dead man’s
pnnts was rejoiced to find his closer
investigation rewarded by a sum equiv
alent to £200.

Silence Tense During Keynote.
There was thn tensest silence as the
president pronounr«>d the keynote of
the conference as follows:
“ The United States welcomes yon
with unselfish hands. W e harbor no
fears; we havo no sordid ends to
serve; we suspect no enemy: we con
template or apprehend no conquest.
Content with what we have, we seek
nothing that Is another's. W e only
wish to do with you that finer, nobler
thing which no nation can do alone.
W e wish to sit with you at the table
of International understanding and
good will. In good conscience we are
eager to meet you frankly and Invite
and offer co-operation. The world de-
manda a sober contemplation o f the
existing order and the realization that
there can be no cure without sacrifice,
not by one o f us, hut by all o f us. 1
do not mean surrendered rights or
narrowed freedom, or denied nsplra-
th>ns. or Ignored national necessities.
Our republic would no more ask for
these than It would give. No pride
need be humbled, no nationality sub
merged. but I would have a mergence
of minds committing all of us to less
preparation for war and more enjoy
ment of fortunate peace.”
The audience and some of the dele
gations came to their feet applauding
when Mr Harding d**clared America
wanted "less of armament nnd none
of war,” and wanted to work to that
end.
