OTHERS ARE MORE SKEPTICAL | Politicians in Washington Believe the Predict That the Debate Will Be' F_.onq. By EDWARD B. CLARK tock of the results of the conference lon the limitation of armament and: ar East problems. Supporters of the! dministration say more hassbeen ac- mplished than was thought possible. pponents of angthing like treaties’ ith foreign countries, unless they be erely trade treaties, declare that the |accomplishment has been little or nothing. Take your choice. | Sofi:_etmng bas been accomplished, Mhowever, and this much is admitted even by those who looked at the gath- ering at first with hostile eyes, but of icourse in saying this exception must e made to those opponents mentioned ‘above who do-not believe in what they icall treaty entanglements. One of the accomplishments has been a treaty \which, if ratified, as presumably .it iwill be, will send a good many fairly tine ships of the American navy and ‘some fairly fine ships of other navies {to the discard. { There will be a curtailment of the mavy building programs of the nations and thi§ will save the people of the igreater countries of the world a con- isiderable amount of money. This is a specitic case of accomplishment. There are other promising things, but of course whether the promise will be fulfilled or not depends upon the fu- fture faith of ‘the nations entering into ithe agreements. Progress With the Far East, A great deal has been done in the jway of trying to straighten out Far Iastern troubles. The Japanese pro- fess satistaction with what has been done and the Chinese are not wholly ireluctant to say that they have se- ‘cured some things they hoped to se- lcure, while failing to secure some lthings that they think' they should fhave secured. | Poison gas is to be inhibited as a weapon of warfare by agreement. (Most people look upon.this agreement as one of the major accomplishments of the conference, but those who know say that it is one of the minor accom- Iplishments and that perhaps it will prove to be no accomplishment at all. The politicians in Washington gen- erally seem to believe that the senate will ratify the treaties which have been drawn.by the delegates to the conference from the various coun- tries. It will take a two-thirds’ ma- jority in the senate to ratify the treaties, but the administration lead- ers say that the required majority can be secured in the case of every treaty; but they admit that there will be a loug drawn-out debate before the end of accomplishment is reached, The leading politiclans of both great political parties today are won- dering whether the results of the con- ference properly can be made an issue in the congressional election campaign 'which will open in the early summer. 1t is said that the Republicans are willing to put the results before the people as a mark of administration ac- complishment and to urge the return of a Republican majority to congress largely on the strength of the advance toward peace in the gvorld which they say has come because of the great in- ternational meeting called together by ithe President of the United States. H Democratic Course Uncertain, The Democrats as yet have not imade up their minds whether it would be wise to combat the conference re- sults in toto. The truth seems to be that a good many Democratic leaders believe that inasmuch a8 something has been accomplished, it will be un- 'wise to go into the campaigning field to speak from platforms of opposition. The feeling generally in both-political parties seems to be that the people of |the country, irrespective of thelr party affiliations, think that anything which is done, no matter by which party, and which looks toward peace, IS some- 'thing to be commended. =Therefore it may be that even if the Republicans ipress the conference results as a cam- aign issue, the Democrats will not do lmuch opposing, and by their reticence this matter they probably expect to l::nke it in a sense useless for the Re- Ipubucnns to keep hammering away at it. When the debate in the senate |opens on the treaties it will be found that some Democrats and some Re- ipublicans will stand together in oppo- isition. Therefore, so far as the fight ion the treaties is concerned, there can lbe no contention that the opposition is in the senate for treaties as they are Shannon only a few months before |§'crry engaged the enemy, but Law- |rence’s last injunction to his men al- Senate Will Ratify the Treaties but: ‘Washungton,—Washington is taking ) {composed of men of one political party | .| tormulated. |7~ Naval Academy Worth a Visit. :| Under the terms of the naval ; other nations, whld freaty with the United States senate will be psked to ratify, a great many of pur ships of war are destined for the .| berap heap. Some of these ships have won a place for themselves in the records of the country and others have not, but none of them perhaps Is so enshrined in the hearts of Amer- Jeans as are some of the old ships which once carried the flag to vic- tory. . Recently the fact has been published fhat only a comparatively small num- ber of the middies who will graduate | from Aunnapolis in 1922 will be al- owed to enter the sea service. It plso has been said that those who are given their diplomas and who are to be turned back into civil life will pdd just so much to the “preparedness personnel” of the Ameérican people. [Che young sailors who enter the serv-. lce and those who do not will carry through life, however, the memories of the old academy and of all its tra- flitions and reminders of past deeds: of American ships and American pailors. . g It 1s well worth while for Americans to visit the Naval academy, for there they will get something of that spirit of devotion which the graduates of the institution have always shown to thelr country. Within the walls of the academy grounds stands the beautiful chapel within which rests fhe body of John Paul Jones, who was the nirst captain of the American navy flying the Stars and Stripes to cause. an enemy ship to strike its colors. John Paul Jones, by general consent, the American Navy. Many Victories, Few Defeats. At Annapolis are gathered the trophies of the sea and there are many of them, for the defeats of ships of the American navy were S0 few that a llne or two of history’s pages is sufficient to record them. In the grounds of the academy are monu- ments to the sailor officers who gave up their lives in battle with the foe, or with the elements which respect the flag and sailors of no nation. Historlans troubie themselves little with the details of such trifiing things as the disposal of the spoils of war, save those which have value In hard cash. The worth of a trophy in sentiment is a matter of small con- cern to ¥he chronicler of deeds. h : At the Naval academy may be seen | Perry’s pennant which flew from his | Ragship, the Lawrence, at the battle of Lake Erie. It is a red ensign with e words of Captain Lawrence em- roidered on it in white letters—words that ever since have been the rallying ery of the American navy, “Don't give p the ship.”. Captain Lawrence had | The flag of the British brig Boxer, was in the truest sense the Father of | /| McDonough at the battle of Laka | | stockings in the Bois de Boulogne. ready had become the American sall- or's watchword. 'The Lake Erie flag {is in an almost perfect state of | preservation, l: They may not say much about it {at the Naval academy but the effect of the defeat of the Chesapeake by the Shannon—one of the few defeats ,of the American navy—is felt in the Bervice to this day. i Name Chesapeake Not Liked. { Eighteen years ago the Navy depart- iment buflt a splendid full-rigged ship for the practice cruises of the ‘Annapolis midshipmen and at the Jaunching 1t was christened Chesa- peake. It was turned over to the |'academy authoritles and then there was much muttering among the old pailors. The name Chesapeake was | connected with defeat and no matter how brave was the fight that its crew made, the ship had struck its colors to the foe and the name was as- sociated with disaster. There was ) another christening and the Chesapeake became the Severn—a fitting name— for the Severn river flows by the academy walls, h Captaln Blythe commanding, captured | Py the American brig Enterprise oft the coast of Maine, is in the keeping | of the Naval academy. Captain Bur- | \rows, the American commander, was | killed in the very hour of his victory. | INear the Boxer trophy are the flags of five of the British vessels tured by Perry at the battle of Lake Erie, fthe Lady Prevost, the Hunter, the | [Little Belt, the Chippewa and the De- troit. With the Erie flags are those ! pt the Confidence, the Beresford, the Chubb and the Linnett—British ves- sels sunk or taken by Commander ' Champlain. Charles Stewart, the American grandfather of the one-time Irish Jeader, Charles Stewart Parnell, made ossible the addition of two flag! trophies to the Annapolis collection. | Stewart captured two British men-of- war, the Cyane and the Levant, which he fought near the Madeira islands. When Silk Hose Were First Worn. It appears that Henry II, when pre- | paring for the marriage of his sister ' in 1559, first had the idea or silk hose, and that at that epoch-making event was the first to wear knitted silk stockings. “A -hundred years later one Hindres established a factory for This was the first factory in France. It was a success from the start, and when it recelved a protection from the ministers it became a gold mine. Tn 1686 the venture was turned into a company. From it arose the soclety: ot stocking makers.

The idea caught on anti 'actories were established in Paris and Lyons.—Kansas City S If war gas never kills and seldom permanently disables, according to “General Fries, why all the fuss to pro- tect against it, and why all the army of disabled that came back from France? The claim of a high officer of the French army that 75,000 French sol- dlers were killed by their own artillery makes it appear that long and arduous training doesn't count for everything, after all. .

Population of Nearly Thirteen Million Is Decidedly Cosmopolitan in Its Character. Egypt Is a country exceeding in actunl extent France and Germany. Its area is some 424,000 square 1iles, but of this total more than 98 per cent Is desert land supporting enly & very scanty nomad population. The fmportant part of the country, con- sisting of the valley and delta of the Nile together witn the western oases, covers an area of 12,228 square miles, or a territory only a little larger than | Belgium. In addition, some 2,850 square miles comprise the surface of the Nile, marshes and lakes, while canals, roads and date plantations cover another 1,900 square miles, Egypt, therefore, is a small country with well-defined natural boundaries on three sides, namely, the Mediter- ranean on _the north, the Arabian desert and the Red sea on the east, and the Libyan desert on the west. To the south Egypt extends up to a point 25 miles north of Wadi Halfa, on the second cataract of the Nile. The present population of Egypt is 12,746,7 as compared with 11,287, 859 in 1907, with 9,734,405 in 1807. und with 6,831,181 in 1882, Of the total population 10,366,046 are Egyp- tians, 635,012 Bedoulins, 65,102 Nu- bians, and 221,130 foreigners made up as follows: Turks, 69,725: Greeks, 61,073; Italians, 34,026; British, 20, 653; French and Tunislans, 145013 Austro-Hungarians, 7,704; R 2.410; Germans, 1847: other peans, 2,116; and Persians, 1.3 A girl learns a lot at school.

Ruins of a Babylonlan city dating back 2,000 years before the Christlan era have been discovered at Koisa Nyek, Asia Minor. The city was named Burus; it seems to have been one of the earliest homes of feminism, i not, indeed, of woman's emancipa- tion. The ruins prove that the com- munity which lived there was partly military and partly commercial. Cunel. form inscriptions give many odd de tails of the organization of the city, which was governed by a prince and a prefect, assisted by a princess and a woman prefect, whose powers are | sntd to have been precisely equal to those of their male colleagues. Records of a regular postal delivery service have been found, the letters being written on baked tiles of a circular shape. References to an early form of the bank check system have been discovered, a bearer check being found which contains lnstructions to the ad- dressee to pay to the person named in it a stated sum. f [
