The war was over, even though it might be weeks or months or pears, as it has been, before the articles of peace were signed. Of course the greatest happiness, the greatest jubilation, flowed from JhOM whose nearest and dearest were in France or on the high seas. No matter how profoundly others rejoic ed, there qould be no joy and thanks giving equal to that of fathers and . mothers and the wives and children of the fighting men. Yet even those whose heaita were filled with'grati tude at the termination of the threat to the lives of their nearest gave thanks not for that alone. Every where there was rejoicing for the overthrow of the doctrines to which the German nation had been educated and to which it had desparately clung. The idea that the state was sovereign, above all moral law, and controlled’ by no moral sense; that its aggran dizement at the expense of othe state and at the expense of the individua was its duty and indeed the soli purpose qf its existence; that its power must grow through militar; conquest, and that the state holding such doctrine must ultimately absorl to itself all power and must rule th* world—that idea struck at the funds meental concept of liberty. Thi world that tip' Germans proposed t< possess would have been an intolera blq world. Every country would hav, been placed and kept under the harsl rule of the German. There woul* have been but one chosen race, thi German. There would have been bu one prescribed language, the German The whole world would have been se to grovelling and toiling for the All Highest German. A world that ex hibited the German emperor as its supreme monarch, the consummate flower of civilization—that was the world which the German had in mind to create and which he very nearly did create. From a fate both terrible and contemptible, the world has been saved; and there was no one in all the civilized nations of the earth who on November 11, three yean ago, did not celebrate that salvation. For all the motives, ideals, and aspirations teat in the desperate struggle sustained tee Actions that have won the victory were those teat men ever since the Dark Ages have recognized and cultivated as the noblest; they are those teat the di vine spark in man kindled; they are those that .have raised men above the W1U I over the world the bruti would have prevailed over the spir ual.

ARMS CONFERENCE By David P. St Clair Washington, Nov. 8.—How ii . the arma conference to oleai away the can eg of war and limi '■ armaments? America ia now expected W ' answer that question, to solvi the hardest problem ever pui , before the hnman race. I The foreign delegates arriving . in Washington have brooght nc , definite proposal here for the so lotion of the problem, so we er< told. They have come' here b learn of the men who have in. itiated the conference how th( conference is to find one, if poe sible. They have come in th< spirit of men who have advanced a plan which the men back ol the Washington conference have rejected. "Yon Wonld not have onr plan, but we are ready to accept youre If it seems as good as oars, oi better. We have suffered far more than yon have. We know a great deal more about- the actual horrors of war than yon do. We greatly need your help and will accept it on almost any terms yon may offer.” One has only to read into the words of the delegates arriving here to divine that that is the true spirit in which they ap proach they conference. The world has come to sit at the feet of the most powerful and appar ently the most fortunate nation on the face of the earth to learn from it how to save the world and all its work from complete extinction. jmo nation in history ever as sumed such moral responsibility as America now t£kea upon her self in this conference, because this conference is the outcome of America’s rejection of the league of nations by a 7,000,000 majority at ttye “solemn referendum.” Yet in the face of this staggering re sponsibility, the President said a few weeks ago thut if the con ference were a failure, the United States would be least affected by it. In other words, this country could, more than any other ,country, ignore the failure. That Is sure to be the plea set up. if failure is seen to be inevitable. In this conference President Harding will j have to meet a moral acid test that none of his predecessors ever had to under go. There are other men more responsible for the conditions that made the conference a neces sity, but by virtue of his power ful office he ought to be able to do more than any human being to bring success %q the confer- 1 snce. No.one doubts bis desire 1 to do so, for the achievement would immortalize him to a de- 1 gree such as few men haVe been 1 mmortalized. * % * But does the President, does ( the Secretary of 8ute, do any of 1 •he American delegates and ad- 1 yferg-fJij mi uwiy-vhnaiwe i what the failure of this confer ence would morally mean to this ' eonntryf When the President 1 umonnced his purpose of calling the conference four months ago, there had met in London repre- 1 tentative* of the British and ' Japanese governments to con- i lider the extension of the Anglo- ! Japanese alliance. If the alliance 1 s not extended, it will lapse next 1 mmmer. The calling of the arms < ionference was homed to fore- 1 itall the extension, for in the lontinoance of the Anglo Jap nese alliance is seen the seeds if certain war between the United States and Japan in the Pacific. ! 'be President’s hand was forced ! or he did not intend to call the onference till a year hence. England wanted the alliance rith Japan extended, because he fears a possible hostile Jap mese might drop a bomb in leething India and blow up the British Empire. Japan wanted . .he alliance extended because America had refused to join the league of nations and ratify the ' Versailles treaty. Nothing has so widened the breach between America and Japan as the action i of the Republican Senate on Woodrow Wilson’s work at Paris. When England saw America make a counter move against the extension of the Anglo-Japanese alliance, with the calling of the conference to limit armaments, she called a halt. Then there began a definite move in England for an Anglo American alliance. This movement bad reached such dimensions by the aid of props ganda that the Harding govern ment last week instructed George Harvey, tbe American am bass ador, to warn tbe English people that an alliance with Ametie, was unthinkable. Daring the last few months American propaganda channels have*been working over time to make impossible the renewal of the Anglo-Japanse alliance. Two months ago Lord Nortbcliffe. the firebrand of British journalists, called on SecretaryHnghee and then set oat for Japan as an active agent to undermine Japans hope of retaining England as an ally. So offensive had he made himself lit Toldo that he was re fused an official reception. The campaign in England against the renewal of the alli ance and the known hostility in America to the alliance have greatly angered the Japanese military party and it is said that this feeling is responsible for the assassination of the Japanese prime minister, Hara, whose in fluence was largely responsible for Japan’s participation in the Washington conference- Japans it is believed, is approaching a great political and moral crisis and the failure to renew the alli ance with England hail been a contributing Cause. The failure of the conference may be prognosticated soon after it meets, but its success cannot ■ be known even on the day it ad journs, for the Harding idea U that the nationa that enter int( agreement that may be reachec by the conference shall not b< i bound. It is free co-operatior • that he asks for. Wilson and th* , other men at the Paris peace conference argaed that the peo , plea of the nations had noi i reached the stage of develop i ment where the Harding idea was practical. They pat force behind law. Harding believes i the law will be obeyed without force. His conference is the con ference of moral suasion and is \ based on the innate virtue of the human heart. In the meantime, the United States Navy Depart ment has projected a huge build ing program for the years imme diately beyond 19*24 This pro gram is simply a matter of safety in case the conference fails to accomplish its purpose. If the Harding idea works, the nations will prove that we are nearer to realizing universal brotherhood than any of us had dreamed. Uuvding of Tablet in Memory of Dr. James E. Brooks The District Niirae and Relief Com* mlttee of Greensboro, appreciating the pioneer work of Dr. James E. Brooks in the fight against tuberculoeis in North Carolina, presented a memorial “tablet to the North Carolina Sanatorium, which was placed on the wall fronting the main entrance The unveiling cere monies were held Saturday afternoon, [ November 5, in the presence of^he staff and patients and a goodly number of personal friends of Dr. Brooks from Greensboro and elsewhere. Dr. L. JB. McBrayer, superintendent of the sanatorium, In accepting the tab said: “Dr. Brooks was a pioneer In sanatorium work in North Carolina. He went before the General Assembly In 1907 at his own expense, spending the greater part of two months with this assembly, anh secured the small appropriation of *15,000 for the pur chase of landStnd erection of buildings to be known as the North Carolina Sanatorium for the Treatment of Tu berculosis "Or. J. fi. Gordon, of Guilford county, was cbairmafi of the appropriation com mittee in the House at that session and collaborated with Dr. Brooks in secur ing this first small appropriation. Dr. Gordon was made a member and chair man of the first board of directors of the sanatorium and Dr. Brooks was elected by thlt board superintendent of the sanatorium and took op his duties Immediately. “These two men had mnch to do with ■he selection of the site on which the •anatorlum now stands and it is agreed >y everyone, both nftdical and lay, who 'iaits the sanatorium that a better site o®ld not have been selected In this or my other state. •*I» was under Dr. Brooks* regime hat many of the buildings now being *ed at the sanatorium were erected ad the prevent management, mindful f the foundation work, both physically , ad baths public mind, that Dr. Brooks Lad Ane for our people^named the lam nUdM •k&tad by Dr. Brocks Brooka* laU. This building was unfortunately testified by fire, caused by a defective lue, some four years ago. T’a ^ “We are prone to be unmindful of the milder* of our civilization la North Jaroiina, particularly the foundation •ullders, and it is with the deepest rstitude that the saaatorinm accepts bia token of appreciation and love of be life and work of Dr. Brooks by bis ome people of Greeuboro and Guilford punty.

The election ins dul; held and the bonds voted h> a small majority. The writer votef against the issuance of these bonds, hecaus the advocates were wedded to tli project of boring wells for a wate supply. The State Geologist ha. pronounced absolutely against tb possibility of getting a water auppl by deep, wells. After an mnsitinj campaign,in which great xeabw.th out knowledge had been worked u| for the project,*tbe bonds carried At the. same time Mr. Edwards wa elected mayor of the town. He a once proceeded to finish the wells a the present town hall, built a-smal brick reeervoir, laid a few hgndrei feet of 8 and 4 inch water main connected np a few fire hydrants installed a small boiler, deep wel stem- pnmp, small duplex stean pump, and built the tank now owner d>T the S. A. L. Railway. This was the water system planned and bnili by Mr. Edwards. After the completion of this work he retired from the office of mayor in' the winter of 1899-1900, and he had no further connection with the water system of the town. % When the administration that projected, planned and baifltthe water system that the town n<flji has came into power in May, 1901, they round the wells' abandoned, the water of Little Buffalo creek turned into the reeerroir and nsed as a water supply, a bonded debt of $10, 000 and a floating debt of mure than $10,000, a' part of which had been reduced to judgment by the Latta Martin Pump Co.' All that could in any way be used in building the permanent system was hot worth ] more than fire thousand ($6,000) iollara, and eould hare beendupli Jated for less than that sum. These facts are all matters of rec wrd and cannot be gainsaid or denied.

Statement by Thomas Do Witt Cuylsr, Chairman o* the Association of Railway Kxaoutlvoa an tha Situation. Folloetaf a meetlas ta Chicago. October 14, 1M1, of thu presidents of nearly ail the leading railroads in the country, Mr. Thomas DeWitt Cuylar. chairman of the Association of Kail way Executives, made the following statement: .... At a meeting of the Association of Railway Executives today it was de termined by the rnilroade of the United State* to seek to bring about > reduction in rates. And aa a means to that end jo seek a reduction "in the present railroad wegea which have compelled maiateaance of the present rates. An application will ha made imme diately to tha United Statee Railroad Labor Board for a reduction in wages of train service employee sufficient to remoTb-ult remainder of the Increases made bj the labor board's decision of July 10, 1110 (which would Involves further reduction of approximately 10 per cent) and for a reduction In the wages of all other classes of rail road labor to tha solar rate for such labor In several territories where the carriers operate. To Reduce Rates ae Wages Go Down. The foregoing act^fc la upon the - understanding that concurrently with such reduction in wages^the benefit of the reduction thus obtained shall, with the concurrence of the Inter state Commerce Commission, be pass ed on to the public in the reduction of existing railroad rates, except in so far as this reduction shall have been made in the meantime. The managements have decided upon this courhe in vi$w of their realisation of the fact thit^the wheels of Industrial activity have been closed down to a point whicfNbrings depression and dis tress to the entire public and that something must be done to start them again in operation. The situation which confront* the railroads is extremely critical. .The railroads in 1920 reallaed a net Tall war operatise income or about |tl, 000,000 apod a property Investment o'l over 119,000,000,000 and even this amount of 192,000.000 included bad mall'pay for prior year* received from the government of/ approximately 164,000,000. thus 'showing, when the operations ot that year alone are con sidered, an actual deficit before mat ing any allowance for either interns or dividends. . - | Hie year ended In serious dapres ! sion In all branches of industry and in marked reduction of the market de nana for and the prices of basic com modules, resulting la a very serious Sailing <S« la the volume of In this situation, a policy of the nost rigid economy and of postpon mg and cutting to the betas of the up keep of the properties was adopted by the railroads. This -was at the price of selecting and for the timt deferring work which most hereaftei and in the'neer future be done and paid tor. This is Illustrated by the feet that, as of.; September 16, i»21 over.14 per cent, or 374.431 in nnm per, of the freight cars of the carrlert were In bed order sad needing re Pblta, as against a normal of bad or der, of not mors than 1 go,000 as is further Illustrated by the deferred and Inadequate maintenance of other equipment and ef roadway and a true tart*. ~ *”* Mdar those conditions, nnd wltk this large bill charged nr ■•nlnnt the tutor*—which, mult noon b* provided for and paid If the car rleri are to perform successfully thalr transportation duties—ths re sult of operations for the first eight months of this year, ths latest avail able figures, has been at a rate Of net railway operating Income, before pro vldln, for interest or dtvWend” amounting to only *.g per cent pet annum on the valuation of the car rier properties made by the Inter state Commerce Commission in the recent fate case, an amount not ant nclant to pay the Interest on theii oaUtaoding bonds. ^ Roads Earning Far Below ReasenakIe Retung^ It la manifest, from this ahowlnx thnt Ota rata, of return of 5^T f per cent tor the frat two years aftei March 1, MM, fixed In the Transpor tatloa Act as a minimum reasonable return upon railroad Investment, hat not been even approximated, much lees reached; and that the presfin bigh rates accordingly are not due to any statutory gu«ranted' of earnings, for there la no such guarantee. In analysing' the .expenses which’ have largely brought about this sit uation,^ it becomes evident that hi far the largest contributing erase it the labor cost. . Today the railroads pay oat to la bor approximately co cents on the dol lar they receive for transportation services whereas In ISIS, 40 cent# on the dollar went to labor.

Thousands of Rates Already Reduoed. Indeed, during the past year there have been between four and five thou* Band individual reductions In freight rates. On some raUroada the reduc tions In rates have amounted -to more than the reductions In wages ao far madm and on many other raUroada the reductions In wages aUowed no net return on operations, hut merely pro vlded against the further accumula tion o( a deficit. The point Is dtlen made that agriou-4 tore and other* industries are also suffering the same immediate difficul ties as the railroads, why. therefore, do not 4he railroads take their medi cine like anybody elssT The ans wer lies In several facta: 1. The railroads were- not permit ted, aa were other ' Industries, to make charges during the years of pros parity, making possible the accumu lation of a surplus to tids them over the present extreme adversity. Ac cording to the reporta of the Inter state Commerce Commission, the rate »f return in property investment of the railroads of. tha.
