The presi dent was positive ln committing the united fata tea to a policy "less of arms,' ment and none of war." Secretary Hughes worked up to his climax, using words Increasingly defi ntte and emphatic until he announced the program proposed by the United States, namely: The discontinuance of all battleship construction for 10 years.

Wells of the Washington. county Business Men s association pre sided at the meeting, as it was this or ganization which called the 'meeting for a discussion of the future policies of the dairymen of the county.

The Carnation peor 'pie have a 1250,000 condensary in this city. . . , "What shaii the dairymen do in or der to operate at a profit and build up the milk herds of the district?" This question. Wells said, was the sole reason for calling a conference of the business men and . dairymen. . Many questioned the attitude of the associ ation of business men and asked whether they were for the condenser or for the dairymen's league. : Many said they had old or reduced their herds as a con sequence of the tangled situation.

The Hugfies climax came In a whirl of enthualasm from the galleries, where members of congress and distinguished men and women were gathered. There was no mistaking the response.
