of United States In ibis the first of a series of dailv di palihes David Lawrence the famous Washington correspondent lifts tlie veil on tlie fundamentals winch will lie discussed at tlie torn- ing Conference on Aimamriil Dum LBrNcr Copyright 191 by the Columbia Evening Missomun WvsmNcTON lot 31 To tlie average man or woman thinking about the winlers coal liill or household affairs the big Conference in Washington next wetk mav seem to convey an impression of things academic and far afield something for the high brows in Washing ton to worry over Cut the inference is the biggest thing that ha happened since the war It touches even famil nut only in the United Stales but throughout the world It li3 a rather official sounding tide- Conference on Limitation of Armament id discussion of Far Eastern and Pacific lrnhlems But its real purpose its real job int expressed by tlui wonls at all Indeed what does Tar Eastern problems mean Who except the experts follow the details of commercial inlriguj in the rar fcastr What dues limitation of armament mean Olf hand you would say stop- liint exnenditure but talk to a naval exjiert an he wdl tell you it means kcping practical the same sze navy that rach nation has now without additional ships and the first thing you know you are in tlie midst of a technical dis cussiun in which it is pointed out that absolute disarmament is unthinkable because a olice force is needed for domestic safet and lliat reduction of armament and limitation of armament means two distinct things as will be explained hereafter Theres also an inside story of liow the nfeminTanie to be called It throws a good deal of light on whats going to happen This will be told in another dispatch The Paris Conference merely drew up a treat to end the war It couldnt possibly do everything The whole social and economic fabric of countries both neutral and belligerent had been torn to pieces What Paris failed to do toward reconstructing the world the Washington confer nce will attempt The viewpoint of laris was to get peace established quickly Tiie passion of haste lias disappeared All the nations meet now in a calmer and more quiet atmosphere The meeting was called to limit armament and talk over Far Eastern questions but the mission of the Washington Conference is one of healing It is to be a conference of reconstruction out of which should come not merely en umlerManding as to the size of armies and navies but a 1 letter spirit toward the preservation of peace and a readjustment of financial burdens so that world trade ma he revived and wheels of industry mav hum once more 1ltllBIIUS DEFIMTLLY RELATED No matter which way one turns the problems under which the world is strug gling seem to have a definite relationship to each other France resents the talk that she is maintaining a large standing arm merely because her rs want jobs and her militaristic spirit is on edge She savs she keeps that larni liecaue nobody else will offer an army to protect her against a German invasion Hut the Germans are disarmed you will sav To that France answers iGermaii has not et paid her war bill as me man on me sireeis in rrance and he will remind ou of the millions that are dead and the millions that live on manned and crippled and he will ask what our plan is to insure agairUt another invasion or what your idea is of how the German sliall be forced to Lloy his bill A turn over to inglanu the man on lithe street there knows the British fleet saved him from death Except for that i fleet the food suppl of England would Iuve gone In the bottom at the whim of the suLmarine Twice in a century lire fleet lias saved the Briton He hates to part with it and will not lightly agree 10 stop llUlllllllg Then look at Japan Millions and St millions people squeezed together on i few islands strucslinc for an outlet They look toward China with its wealthy firesnurces Who shall stand in the way IB of their development But the big Rpdupt llie I nitril Slate Great Brit aain llalv France and the rest refuse Jjto allow China to be despoiled The overseas trade of each country can not ill jeopardm by jllowing Japan a mon JvOpol in the Far East 7i Tlie man on the street in Great Blit Sain France and Japan makes public opinion Collectively his power talks should the man on the street in the -Hailed States go to war with Japan to UTt China President Roosevelt once i the German Ambassador be didnt TtJ1TS lhiuk so The Far East is too far away But why should America carry the burden alone All Far Eastern problems heretofore have been seitled a coalition of powers nothing hi formal as an alliance but an effective combination of countries having vital interests to protect rwcnoA mcst be removed The object of the comine conference therefore is to draw up rules and regu lations for the benavior of all nations in the rar East an effort to establish equality of commercial opportunity Indeed it goes deeper tliau that Sources of friction must be removed otherwise there will be a war in the Far East the next decade And America lias had one lesson in bow she can be drawn into a maelstrom from which at first she seemed to be thousands of miles distant But aside from Far Eastern questions comes a larger matter bringing the nations of Europe and America into some kind of an understanding about the fu ture Shall tlie reparations question be allowed to drift with France keeping a big aimy to enforce her wish America wants Europe to pay back the ten billion dollars borrowed during the war It cant be paid until Germany begins paying England and France The United States lias a material interest in seeing Germany make good her pledges Assuming the good faith of Germany she will not be restored by a policy of starvation and strangulation England told France that only to arouse the ire of the French In this America stands close to the British view You cant make a man staggering under a load carry it better by whipping him too The United Stales wants to help Woodrow Wilson proposed one formula the league of nations It was rejected by the American senate as being too in tricate Warren Harding has proposed another formula international co-opera tion He doesnt think a rigid institu tion like tlie league of nations is essen tial though he believes the present league is going to be of immense help in keep- ing the European nations together lle hopes it will live for that purpose and succeed even though be is unwilling at present to favor American membership ATIOS TO CO OPERVTE But just the same international cooperation not isolation is the fundamental in President Hardings policy At the Washington Conference America will come back into the family of Allied and Associated powers and take up anew the thread of European questions which do affect Americas economic welfare Reparations balanced budgets payment of war debts refinancing war loans readjustment of the whole financial situation this and ways and means of bringing nations into periodic conference hereafter either through the Supreme Council or informal meetings of foreign ministers and ambassadors are to be talked over in an

MISSOURI MONDAY OCTOBER 31 1921 LAST EDITION Elves Ghosts Goblins and Black Cats Will Hold Sway Tonight Tills is the night of Halloween When all the witches may be seen Some are short and some are lean And some are as tall as a castor bean Tonight is the time for the walking of the spirits in all forms witches elves ghosts goblins wood nymphs black cats and all the weird and fearful creatures that the imagination of man from ages back has invented Dancing in the shadows lurking in the bushes haunting every nook and cranny of the house these supernatural beings claim this one night as their own when all mortals must beware if they wish no ill to befall them Halloween is a relic of pagan times In the Roman Catholic calendar it is All Hallows Eve the vigil before All Saints Day November 1 Its customs come down in the folk lore of the people from the days of the Druid priest before the Romans brought Giristianily to Eng land In the minds of the people all over Great Britain in the old davs the night was filled with supernatural influ encesa time for the universal walking of spirits both of the visible and the visible world Popular belief ascribes tu children born on Halloween the possession of certain mysteriuus faculties such as that uf perceiving and holding converse supernatural beings It was also believnd that by the use of certain charms or rites mortals could bring about the occurrence of wished for events There was always a Uniformity in the customs followed in different parts of Great Britain on Halloween night One of the most essential features of the customs of all districts was the use uf nuts and apples in the rites and ceremonies of the night In fact so large a part did the nuts play that in the north of England the night was called Nutcrack Night Nuts and apples were used especially to find out about the outcome of love affairs In Ireland one of the most popular customs was to place thru nuts on the bars of the open grate in which a fire was burning Each nut was named for a lover If a nut should crack or jump the person for whom it was named was unfaithful If it blazed or burned stead- INQUIRING REPORTER Are you in jaior of 1oitnuuterGen end Hays suggestion of hanging a man for robbing the mail he asks lite persons ricked i A Ferguson druggist I think it ought to be stopped and if they have to resort to hanging hang em Stephenon insurance agent The taking of human life legally should be resorted to only in extreme caes if at all As to whether hanging or electrocution acts as a deterrent is a debatable question Deep thinking men and women who have given thought and study to the subject are found on both sides of the question Gentry lawyer Most mail robbers are professional criminals anil I believe that hanging should be the penalty for a second offense Belshaw director of the Elks play All Aboard No Im not in favor of hanging I believe tilteen years of hard labor would be much more ef fective Heath Tavern Drug Shop I am not in favor of hanging because I believe that many of the mail rubbers are boys who have been reading too many cheap novels In England if a man is sentenced to fifteen or twenty years for a crime he serves the full time or if he is sentenced to hang he hangs If there were not so many reprieves and pardons in this country and if a robber got a good long sentence on the rock pile I believe a great deal of mail robbery would be stopped MAN FALLS FROM BALCONY Brown Was Unhurt After an Unusual Accident in Theater William Brown 11 North Eighth street superintendent of the working force of the new Boone County Hospital fell from the balcony of the Columbia Theater to the main floor a few minutes after 7 oclock Friday night and was unhurt Briskly Mr Brown entered the theater and went up the staircase trying to secure a front seat He stumbled and fell over the rail in front of the balcony With a struggling effort he grabbed with one hand the lamps on the wall in front of the balcony but the lamps being too fragile to sustain his weight gave way and he fell into the seats beluw which were then unoccupied He was assisted from the theater hy one of his companions Saturday he was again at his job giving directions to the workers under bim in the new hospital building He was unhurt beyond a deep scratch on his face near the left eye cut during his fall by some projecting point of a chair on the main floor Marriage License Is Issued A marriage license was issued Saturday afternoon to Jesse Barger of Columbia and Miss Millie Wainscolt of Halls ville Baby Girl Arrives at Wright Home A baby girl arrived at the home of Mr and Mrs Roy Wright 602 North William street Saturday She has been named Betty Lou ily he was faithful to the person making the trial Another custom still much in vogue for Halloween parties was to place several apples in a tub of water and let each pxrson duck for one The apples had to be picked up with the teeth and the use of the hands was never allowed In Scotland a favorite custom was that cf pulling kailstocks or stocks of wort The young people went into the dark garden each pulling up a stalk of colcwort They then returned to the house to examine their stalks Upon whether the stalk was straight or crook ed depended the character of the future husband or wife and the amount of dirt sticking to the roots denoted the fortune or dowry In Perthshire Scotland a custom was prevalent of making huge bonfires in every village around which the inhabitants gathered until it had burned itself out When the fire was gone the ashes were collected in a circle and in the center was placed a stone for every person of the several families interested If any stone was injured or removed from its place before morning the person whom it was supposed to represent was fev and would not live more than twelve months from that day The next morning the people received the consecrated ashes from the Druid priests the virtues of which were supposed to last a year It was the custom in papal times in England to ring bells on All Hallows Eve for all Christian souls but when King Henry VIII abolished the Catholic religion there he issued an order forbidding the ringing of beils or the keeping of the vigil on All Hallows Eve Queen Elizabeth also forbade these customs as superstitious practice Today Halloween has lost its supernatural character The atmosphere of another world filled with dancing spirits and grewsome goblins no longer prevails In its plate we find only the imitation of that spirit largely grown into the custom of playing pranks often more crude than interesting But still wmc of the old customs remain and some of the old legends told each Halloween night remind us of the time of our ancestors when the witches really
