DISARMAMENT AND REGULATION In bidding our delegation to the London naval parley farewell Mr. Hoover asks us to be patient with the progress of the conference, which he thinks would do very well to ac complish anything in less than three or lour months. The country must also bear in mind that the chief objective of the parley is the regulation of war ves sels lather than immediate disarma ment. The Washington conference of 1921 contented itself with the regu lation of capital ships. The London conference will attempt to add cruis ers, destroyers and submarines to the category of regulated craft. The most encouraging feature of the conference to begin in London this month is that after nine years' experience with the regulation of capital ships the naval powers of the world should be disposed to extend the same regula tion to lesser war vessels. Mr. Hoover says the conference begins in a line atmosphere of international good will, and in that respect it has an advantage over the Washington con ference. If the Washington confer ence, which was tar trom enjoying an atmosphere at the outset, could regu late major war craft, the London con ference should be able more easily to do something about the as yet un regulated lesser war craft. Mr. Hoover says this is the most important of international confer ences in a great many years, as it probably is also the most impoitant for years to come. That is true in the respect that what can be done about little fighting ships has never been formally discussed among na tions. It probably presents difficul ties not. encountered by the Wash ington conference. That is, the -t-.i ratio to which Great Britain, the United States and Japan agreed in 1921 was not a matter in which eith er the French or the Italians, both regulated by the same conference at 1.75, were greatly interested. Their interest is in their own territorial waters and the Mediterranean, and in those waters the lesser fighting craft are necessarily more important than they are on the open seas. Both France and Italy therefore assume a stature at London which they did not enjoy at Washington, and to satisfy either is going to be one of the chief difficulties of the conference. As for the conference itself, its significance to civilization could hard ly be exaggerated. The President points out that "the importance and gravity of the occasion have been recognized by dispatch to london of the leading men of every country." Indeed, the conference approximates a focus of the best intelligence of our time upon earth's profoundest prob lem. The cost of war, and the cost of those great armaments which al! the nations maintain in fear of one another, runs into a staggering total. The economist cannot help contem plating the things in human better ment which might he accomplished with all that wealth. Mr. Hoover himself has expressed this thought in telling tu that 72 cents of every dollar we pay the Government goes for war. Such a gathering as that now assembling at London is the nearest approach history has known to that international society which Aristide Iiriand, whom Ramsay Mac Donald has characterized as having a "passion for peace," has said is the jonly foundation upon which real ! amity can ever be built. It gets the nui in, nun tin iig ioi.t -1 i - ions, its dreams and its aspirations, around the council table. Only in that intimate relationship can trust conquer distrust, as within that limit ed circle alone can wisdom at last dis possess folly. Mr. Hoover says the nations par ticipating in the conference have the will to bring about an end to com petition in construction of naval arms and so lessen the burden of these great armaments upon themselves. If they persist in that will they cannot disappoint him, however great the difficulty and however tedious the way. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. , :o: SLIM PICKING FOE THE BIRDS Plattsmouth and vicinity now are host to many species of birds, which enliven the wintry scene. These birds are able to withstand the cold, and ordinarily their foragings yield enough food to sustain them. But snow and sleet, particularly the lat ter, cut off the food supply and are likely to takq a heavy toll of feather ed life. A sleet storm covers the ground and coats trees and bushes so the birds cannot get their usual food supply. A few crumbs and scraps from the table, scattered in the back yard, will bring relief at a time when, in the words of the lamented Briggs, "a feller needs a friend." Birds of many 6pecies will gather to such a feast, and watching them as they feed will well repay one for the slight trouble. Let's feed the birds. NOISE AND YET MORE NOISE Each step in human progress has increased the world's output of noise uniy the occasional roar or a mam moth and the sigh of ancient winds disturbed the primordial calm until man came along and began chipping flints, beating drums and shouting tribal chants. Gunpowder brought new efficiency to the hunt and the battle, attaining its perfection in deep-throated artillery which can re duce the stoutest nerves to quaver ing shell shock. The industrial revo lution introduced the crash and clangor of machinery to pastoral landscapes. Dray horses jolted over cobblestones until the motor truck thundered along and drowned out their clamor. Man s first ventures aloft were in noiseless gas balloons, but now the air is given over to the plane with its familiar reverber ations. Radio is another great mile stone, and adds its din to the general cacophony. The motion picture takes a stride forward with sound effects, making the film theater altogether useless for the whispered confidences of lovers. The jarring riveter supplants the patient stonemason, the limited ex press roars where poney express hoofs were thudded, the piinting press sings a thunderous symphony un known in the copyist's day. All items of progress, thes; each swept on the stage with a shrieking crescendo of new noises. Now, when our prophets tell us that new mechanical marvels are to come, the world can only hope that nerves and ear drums will stand the strain of progress. Cards are supposed to be a form of amusement, but after a bad session at the bridge table with his wife, you can't make a man believe they are anything but a casus belli.

King & Haggart, Attorneys for the Plaintiff. REVERSING AN OLD THEORY Our courts of law, in the machin ery they have set up to for trial cf accused persons, operate on the old, established theory that it is better that two guilty men should e-vape than that one innocent man should be convicted. Extensive safeguards, accordingly, are thiown about every man who in tried for any crime. It might be a good thing if we could tip off our liquor patrols to thM old theory. If it applies to the trial of suspected criminals, it ought to apply to the caching of them, alo. And letting fly with a machine gun on the mere suspicion that a man a hundred yards away is a law-breaker hardly seems like the best possible way of-puttlr.g It into effect. :o: Rum runners dragging clecls. cov ered with white sheet?, have been ghost-walking" across the ice of the Detroit river.
