Washington. Feb. 1.?The Amur an government was represented ::oday by Secretary Kellogg as willing to sign a treaty with all the "world powers to prohibit*the use of submarines for any purpose. The lead fo the state department dis1 -dosed this position in a letter to fhairman Porter of the house- foreign affairs committee, which today discussed at some length the forthcoming resolution proposing the abolition of the undersea craft. The secLctary emphasized, however, that while tbo Washington eove-nment was ready to sign such an agreement. it would be impossible for one country to abolish submarines and leave other nations free to operate and kiiiid ihem. The resolution, which the secretary indorsed, would provide that the United States ^continue to use efforts- to bring about the discontinuance of this type of vessel."* Havana, Feb. 4. -A series of international principles proclaimed by the United States as forming t hebasis of its policy in the western hemisphere were criticized, attacked and denounced at the Pan-American conference today by delegates of a half score- countries. The attack, which has been brewing ever since a report on the fundamental rights and duties of nations, prepared bv hv id - * - ? . .v-.vv.-i. c?a rem. was published Thursday as soon as Chas. K. Hughes, head of the American delegation. had finished a speech giving the Mouvtna report the full and unconditional support of the American government.

London, Feb. 3?All the glory that goes to great soldiers in their death was Earl Haig*s today as the British Empire reverently gave him its last saTttte. Pomp of military mourning was merged with simple homage of many thousand plain mer, and women who have tasted the bitterness as well as the victory of war as the great funeral cortege wound slowly through London at noon today, pausing only for a brief service at the ancient abbev of T&ggfmSrws ter before the field marshal's body was sent back to its native Scotland There it lay at midnight tonight in St. Giles cathedral in Edinburgh, and there, near Bemorsyde, it. will be buried,, far off the beaten trail, even as ohce the body of a great American soldier was interred in the countrywide at Mount Vernon. England would have laid Haig to rest in the Parish church of the empire, St. Paul's cathedral, beside the great duke?-Wellington?beside the bodies of Nelson, of Roberts, of Wolseley and other military heroes of British history, but it was Haig's wish to be buried among his ancestors in Caledonia. ; THIS WEEK By ARTHUR BRISBANE More Battleships ; 21 American Nations | The First Airplane j A Great Bear Fighter , The government proposes to Spend ! $].2ih00lhi70b every year for twenty years on battleships of different kinds, including: fast, necessary cruisers. This means a total investment of tw?> billion five hundred and j eighty million dollars in new ships.

It ought to stay I here in the Smithsonian Institute. The Smithsonian Institute .should have Lmdburgh's trans-Atlantic machine also, and the government j should pay Lindburgh enough for it to make him independent for lire. If Lmdbuvgh got $1.00h,000 for that i plane, he would get less than one | per cent of what this country owes him. The Spirit of St. Louis, de' Spite all Lindburgh's grpod care, must he getting old and Worn, and a brand new machine, best and safest the world can produce, should take its place. Human beings as a whole, like individuals, do only one thing really well.
