enceHis Own Gratification Beyond Capacity of Expres

in Human Progress Claims No New Conceptions of Peace,
But First Actual Accomplishment Toward Reducing Chance
" of War No National Surrender Involved. '
WASHINGTON. Feb. 6. By. Aaso-f
elated I'rens.l The hiatory making
conference on the limitation of arma
ments and Far Kantern questions came
to it end today with, the signing of
treaties and a farewell address by
President Harding.
In the great assembly hall of the
baiiKhters of the American Revolution
where all of its. open sessions have
been held, the delegates of the nations
assembled, marched- In turn to a space
near the. great -Kreen baize table and
affixed their signatures to the agree
ments and treaties which are all parts
of the structure to lift from a war
worn world the burden of excessive
naval armaments, to promote the
peace of the Pacific, to give a new
bill of rights to China and to remove
Irom the east particularly the clouds
of war. -
Applause Prolonged -
And as each delegation affixed their
signatures as plenipotentiaries pledg
ing the honor of" their respective na
tions to the good faith' of the settle
ments agreed upon, the great audience
expressed the hopes of the world In Its
loud prolonged applause. At the con
clusion of ' the ' ceremony' of 'signing
President Harding delivered his ad-
dreas formally closing the conference,
fas he formerly had opened It a little
more than 12 weeks ago.' - ,
The president, '.as ' he "read" slowly
from his manuscript, frequently was
halted by bursts of applause. He fin
ished speaking at 11:10 o'clock and
then delegates and spectators bowed
their heads as a benediction was pro
nounced. There was long applause
when President Harding digressed to
say: '' : ' '
'"While the settlement of the Far
Eastern question' was not of direct
import to the United States we rejoice
in common with the world that under
standing has been reached.'"
-As the president named the Amer
ican delegates and thanked them tit
their services to the nation, there was
applause at the mention of each name.
There was more applause when the
president thanked the advisory com
mittee for Its services. '
' At the conclusion of the president's
address the entire party-stood and
applauded while the executive took his
seat. As the applause died away the
Rev. William S. Abernethy of Calvary
Haptist church stepped forward and
pronounced the benediction.
' "May It be in the heart of every
nation and every man," he- beseeched,
"to hasten the bringing of the era of
good will."
The prayer ended. Secretary Hughes
rapiK'd his gavel and announced "the.
conference is adjourned sine die."

MISS. GOVERNOR FOR SEDUCING GIR
SAYS PRES'T
Nearly three montha ago It waa my
privilege to utter to you slncerest
words of welcome" to- the capital of
our republic, to suggest the spirit h
which you .were Invited and to Inti
mate the atmosphere In which jrpi
were asked to-confer. In a very gen
eral way perhaps, I ventured (to
press a hope for the thing toward
which our aspirations M ua. - Today
It Is my greater privilege and evqa
greater pleasure, to come - to mak
acknowledgement. It is one of - tM
supreme coniensations of life to con
template a worth-while accomplish
nient. , , '..-,'
It cannot be other than' seemly fas'
me, as the only choice of government
so circumstanced to be able to addres
the conference, to speak congratula
tions and to offer the thanks of our
nation; perhaps I dare .volunteer 4a
utter them for the world. My own
gratfication' is beyond my cnrUy to
express. . . . . ' '
A Great Achievtmant ! .' r
This conference has wrought a truly
great achievement- It Is hazardous
sometimes to speak .-in superlative
and 1 will be restrained. 'But l' wIU
say. with every confidence that' tlm
j faith plighted .here today.' kept' ia na-

Stripped to the simplest fact, what
is the spectacle which has Inspired a
new hope' for the world,, gathered
about this' table nine great nations 'of
the earth not all, to .be . sure, ' but
those jnost directly . concerned with
the problems. at hand have .met. and
have conferred on questions of great
imiort and common conqern.'oa prob
lems menacing their peaceful relation
ship, on burdens, threatening 'a com
mon peril. In the, re'veallng light of
the public opinion of the' world, with
out surrender of sovereignty, without
Impaired nationality or.itfended.na
tlonal pride, a solution has been found
in unanimity and today's adjournment
is marked by rejoicing the things
accomplished. If the. .world has hun
gered for new assurance,; it may. feast
at the banquet which the conferfccij
has spread.. ' '. . , , .'. '
People Gratified.
I am sure the people of "the , United
States are supremely gratified and yet
there is scant appreciation, how mar
velously you have wrought. .When the
days were .dragging an agreements
were delayed, when - there, were ob
stacles within and hindrances without,
few- stopped to realize that here was a
conference of sovereign powers where
only unanimous agreement could be
made the rule. Majorities .could not
decide without Impugning national
rights. There were no victors to com
mand, no vanquished to yield. All had
voluntarily to agree in translating the
conscience of our civilization and glyo
concrete expression to world opinion.
And you have agreed lit spite of all
difficulties and the . agreements are
proclaimed to the world. No new stan
dards ot national honor have 1 been
sought but the indictments of national
dishonor have been drawn and tha
