Tu WORLD POVERS SIGN TREATIS, BRINGING CONFERENCE TOEND (Continued from Ifirst Page) honor nations to of their respective the good faith of the settlements agreed upon the great audience ex- pressed the hopes of the world in its loud and prolonged applause. At the conclusion of the ceremony of signing, President Harding deliver- ed his address, formerly closing the conference as he formally had opened it a little more than 12 wecks ago. Harding's Address The address made by President Harding at the concluding session to- day of the arms conference follows: “Mr. Chairman and members of the conference: “Nearly three months ago my privilege to utter to you sincerest words of welcome to the capital of our republic, to suggest the spirit in which you were invited, and to inti- mate the atmosphere in which you were asked to confer. “In a very general way, perhaps, 1 ventured to express a things toward which led us. “Today it is my greater privilege, and cven greater pleasure to come to make acknowledgment. It is one of the supreme compensations of life to contemplate a worth while accom- plishment. Words of Satisfaction “It can not be other than seemly for me, as the only chief of govern- ment so circumstanced as to be able to address’ the conference, to speak congratulations and to offer the thanks of our nation, our people; per- haps I dare volunteer to utter them for the world. My own gratification is beyond my capacity to express. “This conference has wrought a truly great achievement. It is hazard- ous sometimes to speak in superlatives and T will be restrained, but I will say with every confidence that the faith plighted here today, kept in natzonal honor, will mark the beginning of a new and better epoch in human pro- gress. “stripped to the simplest fact, what is the spectacle which hag inspired a new hope for the world Gathered about this table nine great nations of the earth — not all, to be sure, but those most directly concerned with the problems at hand—have met and have conferred on questions of great import and common concern on proh- lems menacing their peaceful rela- tionship, on hurdens threatening a common peril. In the revealing light of the public opinion of the world, without surrender of sovereignt without impaired nationality or af- fronted national pride, a solution ha been found in unanimit nd today's adjournment is marked by*rejoicing in the things accomplished. If the world has hungered for new assur- ance it may feast at the banquet which the cénference has spread. Americans Pleased “I am sure the people of the United Stateg are supremely gratified and yet there is scant appreciation how marvelously you have wrought When the days were dragging and agreements were delayed, when there were obstacles within and hindrances without, few stopped to realize that here was a conference of sovereign powers where only unanimous agree- ment could he made the rule. Ma- jorities could not decide without im- pugning national rights. There were no victors to command, no vanquish- ed to yield. All had voluntarily to agree in translating the conscience of our civilization and give concrete ex- pression to world opinion. “And you have agreed in spite of all difficulties and the agrecments are proclaimed to the world. No new standards of national honor have been sought but the indlctments of national dishonor have been drawn and the world is ready to proclaim the odious- ness of perfidy or infamy, “It is not pretended that the pur- suit of peace and the limitations of armament are new conceits or that the conference is a new conception either in settlement of war or in writing the conscience of internation- al relationship. Indeed, it is not new to have met in the realization of war's supreme penalties. The Hague con- ventions are examples of the one, the conference of Vienna, of Berlin, of Versailles are outstanding instances of the others it was our aspirations The Hague Conventions *The Hague conventions were de freated by the antagonism of one strong power whose indisposition to cooperate and sustain led it to one of the supreme tragedies which have come to national eminence. Vienna and Berlin sought peace founded on the injustices of war and sowed the seeds of future conflict, and hatred was armed where conference was stified “Too often, heretofore, the decades following such gatherings have been marked by the difficult undoing of #hair decisions..

Anyone of them alone would have justified the conference, “You have written the first deliber- ate and effective expression of great powers, in the consciousness of peace, or war's utter futility, and challeng- ed the sanity of competitive prepara- tion for each other's destruction. “I once believed in armed prepar- edness. I advocated it, But I have come now to believe there is bitter preparedness in a public mind and a world opinion made ready to grant precisely as it exacts it. And justice is better served in conferences of peace than in conflicts at arms. “No intrigue, no offensive or de- fensive alliances, no involvements have wroght your agreements but reasoning with each other to common understanding has made new relation- ships among governments and peo- ples, new security for peace, and new opportunities for achievement and attending happiness. America's Thought. “When you first met, I told you of our America’s thought to seek less of armament and none of war; that we sought nothing which is another's and we were unafraid, but that we wished to join you in doing that finer and nobler thing which no nation can do alone, We rejoice in that accom- plishment. It may be that the naval holiday here contracted will expire with the treaties, but 1 do not believe it. Those of us who live another dec- ade are more likely to witness a growth of public opinion, strengthen- ed by the new experience, which will make nations more concerned with |living to the fulfillment of God's high intent than with agencies of warfare and destruction. Since this confer- cnce of nations has pointed with unanimity to the way of peace today, like conferences in the future, under lappropriate conditions and with aims Iboth well conceived and definite may illumine the highways and byways of human activity. Congratulations “Again, gentlemen of the | ence, congratulations and the !tude of the United States. To Delgium, to the British empire, to China, to France, to Italy, to Japan, to [the Netherlands, and to Portugal—I can wish no more than the same feel- ling which we experience, of honor- able and honored contribution to happy human advancement, and a new sense of security in the righteous pur- | suits of peace and all attending good | fortune. “And I.know our guests will par- gon me while 1 make grateful ac- knowledgment to the American dele- ration, to you, Mr. Secretary Hughes; to vou, Senator Lodge, to you, Sen- ator Underwood, to you Mr. Root; to all o fyou, for your able, splendid highly purposed and untiring endeav- ors in behalf of our government and confer- grati- .| onr people and to our excellent ad- visory mmittee which gave to you so dependable a reflex of. that Ameri- can public opinion which charts the course of this republic. “It is all so fine, so gratifying, so reassuring, so full of promise above the groans which come of excessive burdens not yet lifted, but now to be lightened above the discouragements of a world yet struggling to find it- self after surpgssing upheaval, there is the note of rejoicing, which is not alone ours or yours, or of all of us, but' comes from the hearts of men of all the world."” Conference Adjourns. As the applause had died aw; Rev. Abernethy stepped forward and pronounced the benediction. “May it be in the heart of every nation and every man’ he beseeched “to hasten the bringing of the era of good will." The prayer ended, Secre- tary Hughes rapped with his gavel and announced: “The conference is adjourned sine die.” REVOLT IN INDIA. Officials Killed and Their Bodies Burned. London, 1%b. 6.

Arthur Griffith, president of Dail Eireann, Michael Collins, head of the pro- visional government, and other Irish leaders, met Mr. Lloyd George and other members of the original British representatives on the Irish commit- tee of the cabinet. The conference lasted an hour and a half, but up te noon no intimation was given as to whether an agree- ment had been reached on the ques- tions discussed. The official state- ment regarding the meeting read as follows: “A meeting was held at No. 10 Downing street today between British and Irish representatives to agree upon the procedure for giving the treaty effect. The following were present.

INTERNATIONALE DISLIKED Once Famous Song is Now Becoming Unpopular in Russia—Pcople Walk Out on Singers. Moscow, Feb. 6.—The “internation- ale” is fast becoming a lost song in Russia. Nobody wants to sing it. Tt it never heard in the streets of Mos- cow, or in the towns of the provinces. When it is played by order in public gatherings, the crowds and audiences refuse to join in the singing. This was illustrated at the Grand Opera, recently, when IL.eon Trotzky, the War Minister, appeared with some friends in a box. The orchestra struck up the tune of the revolution and but a very few in the audience rose, out of respect. Lately Isadore Duncan, after a pub- lic performance of her dances, asked the audience to join her in singing the “Internationale.” This seemed a sig- nal for the audience to leave. Every- body began going out, as the orchestra played and Miss Duncan was left to sing alone. One of the reasons for the lack of enthusiasm for the song is that it has been sung too much. People are tired of it, here, just as British sol- diers get tired of “Tipperary. YOTERS MAY SHIFT Opportunity Presented During Next Few Days To Change From One Party To Another.

If to| this sum is added the country’s ex-| ternal and internal debt of 40,000,- 000,000 levas, a total of 107,000,000,- 000 levas is reached. (Nominally a Bulgarian leva would be worth about 19 cents). Nobody knows, even the Bulgars themselves, how this colossal sum| can be paid without wrecking the country and exhausting its resources. Under the Neuilly agreement the Bulgarians were to pay their first in- stalment of the $450,000,000 indem- nity in 1919, but up to the present they have lapsed in three instalments. Bulgarian government officials they can make the state solvent and pay all its obligations if the powers will waive the indemnity payments for a reasonable perfod of time. They in- sist they can make little progress so long as the reparations commission | holds the indemnity demand over their heads like Damocles’ sword. The countr, total outstanding paper money amounts to 8,250,000,000 levals, only one-third of which is cov- ered by gold reserve.
