e The i © Twentieth Century Limited Laugh With Us— Not At Us— (& o Wouldn’t Stand for It Dear Twentieth Century: Now that| Armistice day has been celebrated| this year, it seems to me that Armi- stice day should have been in July or August so that more out-of-door celebrations could be staged. What do you think?—I. Gotta Cold. Seeing that you brought this to our attention, we would like to say that the Forces wanted to have Armistice day in July, but the Germans wouldn’t stand for it. —Had No Thought for Weather— Well Lit Up Even a one-eyed man could have seen that more than the street lights were lit up Armistice night. —And Longer— Signs of the Times When you see a marricd woman buying a $400 fur coat in a city store it is another ‘sign of a hard winter. —TFor Her Husband— Roll Call | One of the alleged thrills of the| alleged good old days is gone from the printing shop.

Although the majority of the fauy did not look fot Brodd to finish the bout, he stuck and put up his best all the time, McDonald weighed in at 145 and Brodd at 142. The fight was clean throughout, the more ex- perienced fighter escaping with only|. a few minor wallops. Tommy Tibbetts of this city won the -first preliminary over Tommy Hannon of St. Paul, although the boys were well matched at the start. The Bemidji boy took every round and in the fifth the referee tock Hannon from the ring to prevent a knockout. Tibbetts floored the St. Paul boy free- ly and in every way gave him a drub- bing. This match was 'scheduled for six two-minute rounds. Tibbetts weighed in at 134 and Hannon at 129 %. Hannon ‘put up & losing fight and was game to the fihish. Chub Frost and Harry Peterson of this city staged a four-round curtain raiser, which was mostly a slugfest. Both stuck it out for the full four two-minute rounds, although they were fast tiring. The first, second and fourth rounds were draws, while a number of fans seem to thing that Frost had a slight shade over Peter- son in the third, To the majority the match seemed a draw. Jimmy Potts of Minneapolis, for- mer fighter and now operating Potts’|, Gymnasium in Minneapolis, refereed all the matches and his work met with hearty favor. He was on the job every minute, requiring the fighters to put up clean scraps and, believing in action, he accomplished this.

OBSERVANCE OF ARMISTICE DAY GOES. OVER BIG HERE (Continued from Page 1) The three local theaters drew a large share of the crowd for the special miatiniees, while the boxing match was fairly well attended. Over 200 ex- service men were treated to a free ‘“chow” at the Civic and Commerce association rooms, and in addition a large number of former service men failed to register at the Elks club rooms and attend the supper. Activities began at the new armory about 8 o’clock with & carhival and dance. By 9:30 the building was jammed and ddncing proved to be the most popular, pastime. Everywhere the crowds appeared to be enjoying them- selves, and all together it is evident that the celebration was successful. Local merchants, for the most part, observed the closing hours requested by the association’s trade committee, and also-decorated their stores ana business places for the occasion. The Juvenile band, besides taking a major part in the parade, played ex- ceptionally well at the ceremonials and also at the opening of the car- nival in the evening.

With the cumulative energy of gener- atlons of temperate-zone-born ances- tors in our veéins, we may maintain our standards of push and speed in the tropics for a time, but that is no reason why we should expect people who have been reared under less favor- able climatic conditions to live up to them. Indeed, it is highly advisable to leave all of our preconceived stand- ards at home. Latin Americans hdve been long subjected to climatic and other influences which have of neces- sity profoundly affected them both bodily and -mentally. We must ré- member also that, racially, we are as far apart as were the Conquistadores from the Pilgrim fathers. Let us therefore accept as a fact that our habits of thought are funda- mentally different and give to history, tradition, environment, and heredity their share of praise and of blame for existing conditions.—National Geo- graphic Magazine, First Aid to Cupid. | Heretofore clotheslines have served two purposes, Obviously, their most frequent use has been to hang clothes ony, Their more important service, from a social standpoint, has been thié breaking of falls of persons who A*lippen to. tumble out of windows.

Huge sums of money also prob- ably would be saved by the principal naval powers, under such a plan, for instance in the case of the United States, the current naval appropria- tion bill authorized about one hundred million dollars to continue the 1916 naval program. Great Britain, the United ‘States and Japan would be the principal powers affected by the stispension agreement. The first pow- er has just authorizéd the construc- tion of four great battle cruisers, the United States is building nine battle- ships and six battle cruisers, and Japan seven battleships and eight bat- tle ctuisers. Some of the American and "JapaneSe 'ships dre ready for launchiig. o i While the American government has some definite ideas about the de- tails about how the navies should be limited, such as the number of ships of one power, much of this work is expected to be drawn into the con- ference to be threshed out by ex- perts. By A. L. Bradford, (United Press Staft Correspondent) Washington, Nov. 12.—The great powers of the world met here foday to win a victory of peace. The hopes of many peoples are cen- tered and the security of the future péace of the world largely depend on this meeting — the long-heralded | Washington Conference on Limita- tion of Armament and Far Eastern Questions. The conference _opened in Conti- nental Memorial Hall of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, a magnificent edificc erected in com- memoration of another great cause, 'with President Harding to deliver the main address of the day. i World famous statesmen assembled in the conference chamber—Hughes and Root of America; Balfour of Britain; Briand and Vivian of France, and Kato, head of the Imperial NnvyI of Japan. Among the distinguished military advisors in this assemblage are Mar- shal. Foch, supreme generalissimo of the victorious allied armies; General John J. Pershing, Earl Beatty, hero tof Jutland and, commander of hte Grand Fleet of 'Britain, and General Diaz of Italy. This group of famous men were “|and when it'is deemed advisable, wood of the American policies in the conference. It is understood to be agreed that the United States will try and secure these two main things in the conference: 1. An effective agreement among the powers for a limitation of arma- ‘ment. 2. Ah “Open Door” treaty among the powers for the Far East. The Aperican délegation has ready || a concrete plan for an sgreement for limitation of naval present to the conference. will be taken up as the necessity arises The principal powers in the confer- ence are the United States, Great Britain, Japan, France and Italy. Not long ago, these five nations, un- der the title of “The Allied and As- sociated Powers,” were partners in another great enterprise—the win- ning of the World war. Victorious in | that, they now rule the world: They have decided to exert their present| great power to prevent a new plunge by the world down the precipice of| | ‘war. Four lesser nations are also repre- sented in the international conclave. These are China, the Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal. They have been invited to take pm‘ti in the discussions which will be held in the conference in an effort to settle the Far Eastern situation, because of their interests in that part of the world. About China will undoubted- ly revolve the greater part of the dis- cussions of Far Eastern questions. Yesterday, on the third anniversary | of the ending of the great war, an unknown American soldier was laid | to rest to the accompaniment of the| highest honors in the power of this| nation to give, and the homage that America and the world paid seemed to be in the spirit of hope that the! horror of the World war will not be' repeated. The great trust imposed in the! world statesmen gathered here for the .conference, therefor, has been vividly impressed on them and their governments. | The task of the Washington con- ference is one in which the powers of the world have made repeated fail-| ures. | The powers failed to reach an; agreement for disarmament or a Xim-i itation of armament in the first Hague| Peace Conference of 1899, when the | United States refused to have any-| thing to do with this movement, and | at the second Hague Peace Confer- ence of 1907, when this government took the initiative in pressing this| plan for peace, just as it is doing now. | All nations and diplomats admit the benefits that will accrue to man- kind if the conference is successful— the relief’ that will come from the staggering burdens of taxation if the nations agree to refrain from or to restrict to a minimum the sinking of millions of dollars in the present fev- erish race to build more battleships, and cruisers, always bigger and more powerful; and the relief from inter- national tension, for with nations continually augmenting their war ma- chines, their militarists become more and more impatient to test out their playthings. i But, under present plans, the Wash- ington conference will get down to the fundamental causes of the main- tenance by the powers of huge arma- armaments to | §| ] 0 the ¢ The ques- | | tion of limitation of land armament || Buying With the Assurance ) You’re Right!

The seats around the table were taken by the main delegates " of ‘the principal powers in the conference, and those at 'the ends of the tablé: by represen- tativs of countries having a lesser part 'in the conference. There is great respect for rank. Grouped behind their principal dele- gates at the table sap the seéveral hun-| dred advisors, with stuffed brief cases. The task of this ' confercnce is great. It is to remove danger of an- other war in the Far East and halt the frantic building f battleships that cost $50,000,000 each, and check increasing armies. i Hughes opened the conference. He| stated the purposes, ehiphasized its| importance, and, after welcoming the delegates ‘to Washington, announced President Harding. -* i The American goverfiment is thor-| ougthly prepared with its plan for the| conferetice. * During the four months | which have elapsed since the first def- | inite steps were taken to call the con-| ference, a small’army of experts has| been diligently working at the State,|plenipotentiaries have been arriving tors, which also are potential causes of a new war. This effort is to be made in the dis- cussion of Pacific and Far Eastern questions in the conference. To the Pacific and Far East has shifted the clash of iitérests of the world pow- ers, dnd, consequently, it is in these far-reaching areas where there lies the danger of a new war. The conference is expected to pro- ceed first with the discussions of Pa- cific and Far Eastern problems, for it is the belief of the United States {government that the possibility of an effectual agreement for limitation of armament largely hinges on a settle- Iment of the Far Eastern question. Much of the preliminary work on the limitation of armament ques- tion is expected to be carried on by the negotiators concurrently with the consideration of Far Eastern ques- tions, so, as the situation in the Pa- cific and Far East clears up, the con- ference can immediately proceed to try and reach an agreement on limi- tation of armament.
