LONDON, November 1. — News- | papers of this city gave great prom- inence today to the address made last night before the Pilgrim Society by George Harvey, American ambassador to Great Britain. The address shared honors with the debate In the house of commons relative to the Irish ques- tion, and it received appreciative edi- torial notice. Ambassador Harvey's reference to the reduction of naval construction by America was con- sidered a matter of deep significance by commentators. “This eloquent fact” declared the London Times, in discussing Mr. Har- vey's statements relative to the cut- ting down of the building of war vessels, “is proof of sincerity which should be recognized, and an example which should be imitated where and when it is possible.” i The Morning Post called it a “val- uable guarantee of America’s good will,” while the Chronicle said the Whole speech was an “admirable ex- pression of the spirit of the American Deople regarding the approaching Conference in Washington.” Mr. Harvey's hopes for the success of the conference on the limitation of armaments were indorsed by every Sewspaper in London, which reiter- ated expressions of approval previ- ously made wheriever the conference has been under discussion. Col. Harvey’s Speech. Harvey heralded the coming conference as “an ordeal not of bat- tle, but of faith the underlying pur- Pose of which was not more a chal- Jenge to the league of nations than it was to the Monroe doctrin ‘Ambassador Harvey reviewed the action of the American Congress re- Specting the limitation of the Army and the reduction of naval appro- priations, which, he said, gave cont Slusive ovidence of the American gov- ernment's confidence in the outcome the conference. ©f e Sal question confronting the conference is not whether the nations of the earth can be brought into agreement upon all things, but Whether they can reach an under- standing with respect to anything, he said. “It is to be a great test, not of the sincerity of peoples, but of the capacity of existing governments to satisfy the universal longing for Col. the American Navy equal to that of any other power, and continued: Army Costs Heduced. “There was nb criticism of that prudent action then. That program was in process of execution in the] early part of the present year. Sud- denly “there came a change. The President announced his intenticn of calling a conference. Practically simultaneously, at the instigation of the President, Congress reduced the normal appropriation from $184,000,- 000 to $90,000,000, which, taking into account the increased costs of labor and materlals, represented barely 40 ver cent of the sum which ordinarily would be allotted. In consequence the present rate of naval construction is about 40 per cent of the normal” Furthermore, commented the hm- bassador, the stipulation of Con- Bress prevents, “in any event except war itself,” the beginning of the building of a single new warship of any type before July 1, 1922, The “deduction was unresistible, the speaker continued. . The President today,” he ‘eems to say by his acts that the way to disarm is to disarm. Even so, his clear vision is dimmed by no il- lusion.

He did not suppose that the evils moved like a tumor by the surgeon’s knife; the situation could not be dealt with rapidly. Sure Success Will Come, ! Mr. Balfour understood that Pre dent Harding took a truly statesman- like view that the world could be made enormously better, but that he did not believe every evil could be removed by the stroke of a wand. It they at Washington in that spirit, with firm determination not to sep- arate without having done somethi great for mankind, he was sure the would eventually be able to co gratulate themselves that the efforts which the President had started and which he hoped the President would guide, would be brought to a happy d fruitful conclusion.

The band at the Army Musle School at Washington barracks will take a| leading part in the ceremonies attend- ing the burial of America’s unknown soldier at the Arlington national | cemetery Armistice day. That school | was recently transferred to Washing- | ton _barracks from Governors Island, | N. Y., where it was established sev eral yvears ago for the systematic training of band leaders and Arn musicians generally. The school band is now under th command of Bandmaster Franci Leigh, who was brought here frc his_ distant station in Honolulu, Hawaii, to prepare it for special serv- ice on Armistice day. He has organ- ized a band of more than a hundred picces and also a drum corps of fifty. The band has played at the recep tions at the Union station of various foreign delegations to the arms con- ference and distinguished military and naval visitors, and at several other_official functions. It has been selected by the War Department to play at the United States Capitol while the body of the unknown American hero lies in state in the rotunda, when it is placed on the artillery caisson on which it will he borne to its resting place at Ar- | ! i | | | I feot. present, in which he sald: “I shall «We Accept!” Premier Shouted. sh;re to the full the earnest hope and “iWe accep he almost shouted. [belief your gathering will express in the work to be done at the great con- ference at Washington, which 1 am hoping keenly to attend. For summon- ing it, the world owes President Hard- ing a' debt of sincerest gratitude and we shall do our utmost to insure iis ‘We accept gladly; we accept grate- fully. I do not need to read the tele- gram. It is all right; we will do everything in our power to make the conference a great success. “That is the pledge he gave and which he has kept to this evening, when, as we all regretfully realize his heart is heavy from apprehension that the performance of a more urgent duty may prevent him from affording at the beginning the helpfulness of the great and unexampled prestige which can be fully rendered only through the actual presence of 80 vivid a personality.” The ambassador told of the deliv- ery of the invitation to the confer- ence to Lord Curzon, the minister of foreign affairs, and the ambassador's call for the reply which had been draftéd with the conventional open- ing, “The British government con- firm their acceptance,” etc. “Lord Curzon,” said Col. Harvey, “read the answer and remarked, ‘This does not suffice’ Then he wrote in, ‘With the greatest satisfaction.” All Statesmen Delighted. “What Is true of those two heads of the British government,” the am- bassador went on, “is egually true of all Britich statesmen, irrespective of their political or partisan pro- clivities, ‘Ambassador Harvey said that when Lord Robert Cecil perceived in this conference no challenge to the league of nations he evinced “accurate dis- cernment,” and the ambassador echoed Lord Bryce's assertion that it was impossible to overrate the tervor and hope with which the con- terence was regarded in America and that America was not disposed to stand aloof from old world affairs. Viscount Grey was no less generous than he was just, the speaker con- tinued, when he declared his belief that the American government was absolutely sincere and stngle-minded and worthy of the absolute trust of all other nations. He quoted King George's message to President Hard- ing and the latter’s reply, and added: ¥Back of all their statesmen and publicists stand in wisiful hope the entire peoples of our common race. Japanese ‘ambassador, Baron , in the course of his remarks, t the delegates were going to ington not thinking only of the sis of their own countries, but the are of millions scattered through- out ‘the world; they were all thinking how to reconstruct’ an economic world and relleve the crushing burden of tax- ation under which all are suffering. As Washington ~was _receiving the _dele- gates with open arms, so, the delegates were going there with open hearta. Arthur J. Balfour, lord president of tha councll, said that the speeches of Ambassador Harvey and the Japanese ambassador created the feeling that the y revealed the spirit in which America and Japan were entering the conference was the same as that ani mating Great Britain, and he was con- fident it would be common spirit of all the nations participating in the con- ference. Balfour Expresses Regret. Mr. Balfour regretted that there was very little expectation that Premier “Qur own position is plain,” he continued. “America does not fear war. Why should she? Geograph cally she is self-contained and- self- supporting in all respects. “Her long coast lines are inade- quately protected. Some of her most splendid cities would appear as tempt- ing targets to the warriors of the geas. But the circumstances is rela- tively trivial. The greatest guns in the world could not create the havoc of an earthquake such as that from which San Franclsco rose llke a phoe- nix from its ashes, more resplendent than ever, in a bare score of months. Calls U. 8. “Unconquerable.” “It is a matter of most casual ob- gervation that we rebuild New York every thirty years. And back of the oities and the coast lines lies a great country which constitutes the real America with a registered total of more than 24,700,000 men between the ages of seventeen and forty-five ca- pable of bearing arms.

Y “The cpming conference, therefore, presages . no arbitrament of -~ the sword. It is an ordeal not of battle, but of faith.”” Discussing the argument in Con- gress whether the Army should com- prise 100,000 or 150,000 officers and men, Ambassador ey repeated the observation of a British states- man that “its only excess is in its mdanuon." He recalled the em- ‘kation of America during the war on a naval program designed to make Richelieu Pearls, quality Men’s Gold-Filled “Elgin” Open-face Ladies’ 14kt.
