TALK OF IMPENDING WAR IS CONDEMNED BY WOOD | Governor GenerQl of Philippines in Armistice Day Talk Discusses American Views. By the Associated Press. ‘ MANILA, November 11 (delayed).— Torrential rains marred observance of Armistice day in Manila. Parades; were abandoned and scheduled open- alr ceremonies were held indoors. Gov. Gen. Wood delivered se eral addresses. In one, to world war veterans, the governor declared: ‘There is too much talk about im- pending war. “l know the sentiment in the United States,” he said, “and I have | traveled sufficiently in the orient to be able to say the desire for war is as | remote here as in the United State: Referring to recent events, Gov. Wood said: “1 wish to disillusion you from the dream of entire and perma- nent disarmament. The world will see soldiers for a long time and it is necessary to fit ourselves for condi- tions as they exist.” While declining to say anything definite regarding milltary plans for the Philippine Islands, he pointed out | that it is “our duty to prepare th Filipinos in order that they may be ready to play their part in defenge of their country.” HOWARD PRESENTS FOGH WITH DEGRE In an impressive setting on the campus of Howard University, Ferdi- nand Foch, marshal of France, late yesterday afternoon received the de- gTee of doctor of laws from President J. Stanley Durkee of the university. while scores of veterans of colored regiments who had served under the French military leader in the world war stood at atte ntion. In tribute to the 400,050 colored sol- diers who were enrolled in the Ameri- can Army during the war, Claude W. Blackmon, formerly of the 868th In- fantry, a student at Howard Univer- sity, read a euiogy _of Marshal Foch, -xplaining the part American colored soldiers took in the world struggle under his leadership. Dr. Durkee Lauds Foch. “Eleven millions of colored Ameri- oans voice their welcome and offer thoir devoted thanks to you for your t achl vement and your great Dr_Durkee sald, in presenting Marshal Foch with the degree. Dr. Durkee's address and others were translated into French by an inter. pretcr. At Howard University, Dr. Durkee said, the movement to establish a t-aining camp for colored officers dur- ing the war was born and there was established at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, a camp with a quota of 1,250 men. Howard University was given over as a training camp and 1,788 colored men went to war from the institution. Marshal Fock Replies. Replying to Dr. Durkee, Marshal Foch said: “I find it very easy to express my sentiments of gratitude for the cordial reception accorded me when I recollect the commendable and in- dispensable service rendered by the colored troops upon the soil of France. 1 knew well that Howard University contributed largely in the war. I knew also that through the love and energy of this great institu- tion of learning as manifested for France the soldiers actuated by these impulses gloriously fought in France, Ithough our green sod now cov- ers the hones of many of your beloved comrades, France shall not forget the magnificent efforts of Howa-d Uni- versity, and the ~ostly sarrifice made by the colored soldiers and the shedding of their blood upon the aitar of free- dom shall mark an important epoch in the history of human action. I can assure you that the French people are lavishing both love and ca~e upon the tombs of American soldiers whose bodies are now in France.” Trivited by Dr. Scott. Marshai Foch made the visit to Howard University at the request of Dr. Emme:t J. Scott, secretary-tr:as- urer of the unive-sity. He was In. troduced by Justice Stanton J. Peelle, president of the board of ftrustees.! Muslc was furnished by the choir of the university. Among those on the platform were Col. James A. Drain, District com- mander of the American Legion, representing the entertainment com- mittee of the leglon; Dr. F. W. Ballou, superintendent of schools, and ‘the en. tire faculty of the Howard University. e e | BOMB SCARE DENIED. Closing of Capitol Dome Expflined as Precautionary Measure. Sudden closing to visitors this after- noon of the dome of the Capitol sent a “bomb-scare” rumor throughout the big building. Investigation brought the statement from Maj. Abbott, chief of the Capitol police force, that the dome was closed by him today as a “precautionary measure.’ Maj. Abbott said further that the dome was closed to visitors during the war and that he thought that with g0 many strangers in the clty it should again be closed.

Mented Feellng Appears. The Ohio senator went into many lcgal phases of the situation, saying in this connection that he chose to accept the views of the late Chief Justice White, who in a minority opinion had argued that the laws under which Mr. Newberry was con- victed were constitutional. He could not believe, he added, that charges made against Mr. Newberry had been unfounded. As the debate progressed, feeling appeared more and more heated and ‘here were many and widely di- vergent expressiol as to the moral as well as legal rights to be consi ed. Chairman Spencer of the elections committee brought vehement denials from several senators when he de: clared that nearly all senators had smployed paid workers on election day in their own campaigns. Opened by Spencer. The debate last niknt was opened by Chairman Spencer of the pri leges and elections committee, who supported the report of the major- ity calling for the seating of Senato: Newberry, and in general defended the senator and his 1918 campaign. In concluding his address Senator Spencer suggested that Senator Pom- erene, democrat, of Ohio, represent- ing the minority views of the com- mittee, proceed with a statement. but the latter declined, saving that he was indisnosed 1 would not speah at the night session. As the mign. sion wore on through quorum calls and a cross fire of political debate, Senator Har- rison, democrat, Misslssippi, who pre- viously had charged the republicans with attempting to force through the resolution for seating Mr. Newberry when the armament conference was occupying the public attention, took the floor and began to read the ma jority and minority committee re ports, The documents total some 2,000 pages, and other democrats said they were ready to take up the reading in relays, if necessary. Deny Harrison Charges. Senator Spencer and other republi- cans denfed that they were attempt- ing to force the resolution through, as Mr. Harrison had charged, and safd they were ready to vote. But Mr. Harrison and Senators Walsh of Mon- tana and Swanson of Virginia then began an attack in which they accused the republicans of secking a night sesslon in revenge for the refusal, through the objection of Senator Watson, democrat, Georgia, earlier in the day, for a unanimous consent agreement to vote on the resolution December 2. Mr. Swanson declared the action of the republicans in calling a night ses- sion was “high handed” and that a time would come for repentance. Mr. Harrison inquired whether the repub- licans desired, “as you did on the night of the passage of the tax bill, to gather in the cloakroom and sing through the night session.” Senator Spencer in the course of his address said he admitted that the money spent in the Newberry cam- paign was too much, but he contended that the Michigan senator had vio- lated no law. Senator Stanley, democrat, Ken- tucky, interjected to say that the campaign.“was a race between a tin lizzie and g golden chariot.” EXPULSION OF NEWBERRY IS URGED IN MICHIGAN Committee of Forty-Eight Branch Condemns “Excessive Use of Money in Campaign.” By the Associated Press.

EAST IS DETERMINED | (Continued from First Page.) unnecessar, If a way can be worked out to awaken China to a sense of her national strength and to assure her of the sympathetic interest of all the powers in her effort toward national development, some of the delegates believe the real purpose of thg discussion here will have been accomplished. Known to have the moral support of the United States, the Chinese principles, at least so far as the! stand for actual practice of the open- door policy and for abolishment of “mpheres of Influence”_in the far east | also are declared on the highest au- thority to have the support of Great Britain, Japan Ready to Ald. Japan would heartily subecribe to many of the points presented by China, it was stated by spokesmen for her delegations, but other points raised doubtful questions which might be answered only, after mature | consideration. Chief among the lat- ter they regarded the proposal that the powers conclude no treaties af- fecting China without consulting her, the Jupanese considering that this might directly affect the Anglo-.lau—i anese alliance. It was declared to be the British view, however, that the alliance was not directly involved in the Chinese! proposal, although it may later be! drawn into the discussions. As directly affecting their individ- ual national interest: the Japanese also appear to attach great import- ance to the proposal that all existing commitments relating to China should be “examined with a view t defermining their scope and validity. The Chinese proposal was favorably commented upon by both the French and Italian delegations as forming a sultable basis for discussion of the Whole far eastern question. although lacking definiteness except as to principle.
