BUILDING IN CAPITAL CITY Chief of the Militia Bureau of the War Department in Letter to Ad- Jutant Generals of States, Gives the Outline of His Proposal. | By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—Ifor the first time in the history of this government an ofticer of the National Guard is on duty as chier of the militia bureau of thé War department. This post always has been held by a regular army { ofticer, but under a change in the law ! a Nutional Guardsman holding a fine war record has been chosen for the place—Brig. Gen. George C. Rickards of Pennsylvania, Generai Rickurds has just” sent a | letter to the adjutant geperal of each state proposing the erection of a mem- orial building in the Capital City in memory and in appreciation of the services of the National Guardsmen of the nation, It seems likely that time there will be empl ington permanent memorials to men of all services who hav in course of ced in Wash- the ved | Nutional Guard memorial is a hew | proposition, but already the plan has received marks of sympathy and en- courngement from all parts of the country, General Rickards in his letter to the adjutant generals gives the plan, and the reasons for its carrying out, suc- cinet The letter ves the facts in the case and shows that it is a letter of personal conviction, General Rickards’ Suggestion. The communication to the adjutant | generals of the different states in part is as follows: { “From time immemorial it has been a proper and popular custom to erect monuments and buildings of one des- cription or another in commemoration of those individuals and organizations who have rendered conspicuwous service to community, state or nation. “Memori have been built to the zoldier, sailor, statesman, scientist and inventor; to the army and its units; to the navy and its the Red the Knigh umbus, the Salvation Army und others which have been identified with the great probleths of war. epoch has been productive of such mementos as {he present which has. been actuated ‘and jsccentuated by the World war and the ypart played in it by this nation. “For years the National Guard struggled on in the Tace of many dis- advantages, its oflxers and wen un- applauded in the@r efforts, making personal sacrifices without the hope or expectation of recommense, unless per- chance the emergency would arise | whereby their military teaching and | learnimg through these years of volun- tary service might he employed to the use and advantage of their nation.

Many of the meetings of the con- ference will be open to the press and | public, but as the hall in the Pan- American building which has been set aside for the use of the conference Is not by any means a large one, some strict attendance regulations will be | necessary. | An inslde limit of 2,000 ofticlal vis-| itors has been set by the authorities In estimating the attendance at the forthcoming conference on disarma- | ment. This estimate takes no cog- nition of what may be called extran- eous visitors. Newspaper men stationed in Wash- ington are making preparations to welcome and to look after the com- fort of some three hundred of their comrades who are expected to arrive here, perhaps properly enough, on or about All Saints day from the Old World and the New. If the conferees | decree that the conference is to be| conducted along the “open covenants openly arrived at” plan, the newspa- per men, resident and alien alone would fill the ball of confab. English and French to Be Used. The proceedings of the conferehce | are to be written and printed in two languages, Inglish and French. There | will be some correspondents in Wash- | ingion who speak neither of these Janguages, but they will get he news all the same, for that is a wvay they have. It is fully expected that every European country will be represented | by newspaper writers, and of course | Japan will have its writing represen- tatives on the spot. Recently in Washington there formed an organization which called the Overseas Writers' club. membership is composed present Washington who at one time or served (heir newspapers fields. It was this new! ganization which gav luncheon to Lord Northeliffe on h it to Wash- ington. It was the club’s first formal social funetion, The Staie department has been con- sulting members of the National Press | club, the Gridiron club, the Overseas Writers' club, and more directly than was all others, the members of the standing committee of correspondents. | The State department in a general | way will look after the comfort and | to some extent the amusement of all | the visitors from foreign countries, but it is to be the special duty and pleasure of the newspaper men to look after thelr colleagues. The quar- ters of the National Press club are | none too large, but of course every | visiting writer will be given a guest | card, and in addition he will be given | a temporary card admitting him to, the two press galleries of congress. | Don't Hope to Abolish War. | The instant that . the ment conference was proposed there | were evidences that the American people here, there and elsewhere, | following the iins of their u“n-i thinking thought” of 1914, 1915, 1916 and early 1917, were jumping to the ! comclusion that war for all time was | i te cease, that the United States soon is Its entirely of correspondents another have in foreign -formed or- and that powder, shell, dreadaoughts, gas and other weapons -and munitions ot warfare soon would be sent into the nether place of the forgotten. So it is that Washington today is | getting results in the way of reflex on President Harding's speech to flle‘ | members of the army war college in | | which he made the attempt specifically | to dispel the apparent false hopes of many of the American people that the coming disarmament conference might end war for all time. A It actually was necessary for men who understood the situation to write X of the seem- ing wides that the con- ference of the winter was certain’ to smooth the front of Mars and to keep it smuoth for all time. Officials point- ed out at,the time the fact that there is a wide difference between hope and | certainty.

Loose <vriting, of which many of us are guilty, is responsible for some of the misunderstanding concerning the scope of the coming conference. It is not to be a disarmament confer- ence, hut a conference on the subject of the limitation of armaments. There {is n difference between the two things whieh needs no explaining. ry government oflicial seemingly no! ishness will enter large- | [ty into the proceedings of the meet- | g between the representitives of the nations. It is pointed out today b, a student of the situation that the cuceess of the conference will depend inrgely upon the extent to which con- sience pla a part in it. No one apparently expects that as a first pro- cedure the representatives of each na- {ion will say, “Go as far as you like, twe will follow,” nor that the aces of intention will be pulled from the packs and placed face up on the table, [but the hope is that eventually con- i scfence will do its work and that not | only the aces but all the other cards | will be dealt separately with the backs down, There are no evidences today of overanxiety on the part of the Amer- {ican army and navy officers lest their occupations are to be gone after the conference agreements have been I signed, impressed and delivered. #) DALY PIONEER WANT ADS BRING RESILTS disarma- |{ would get rid of its army and navy, |!
