It la ours te make the most of them. A world staggering with debt needs Its burden lifted. Humanity, which has been shocked by wanton de-struc-iens, would minimize the agencies of that destruction.

The audience and some of the dele gations came te their feet applauding when Mr. Harding declared America wanted "less of nrmament nnd none of war" and wanted te work te that end. The President concluded at 10:5n o'clock and departed from the hall. As the lresldent went Hughes announced that French and KngllBh languages would be used. The President's speech, he said, had been printed In both. The notables began arriving seen after 10 o'clock te hear the opening atl ilrew of President Harding. The gal leries allotted te the representatives of official ami diplomatic life the world ever contained many notable figures of present -day hlstet . The meeting hall wns 11 picture full of color as the delegations ami spec tators began te gather. In the center of the big room was the Conference table, shaped ns a nqtiarc I', its top covered v.

This time it Is louder and lnnser. All tin- elelegiitcs sitting nt the green square- tables rise.

The applaue begins again as Secre tary Hughes announces : -'(lentlenien, the' President of the I'nited States." I notice that the Japanese anil e. in- total of tens of splendid fighting ships that will bci serappe ellf.all the iiiiIIeiih accept his plan, the high -water murk of applause Is reached. A man sitting near me, whom I den t knew, but I fancy he Is a Congress man, or rnnybc only en official of the Heuse .remark with a grin: "There, ehirn 'cm, Is something for them te chow chew cm" ' , There Is one line thing about this opening session as I leek back at it at be distance of half an hour. t Is that there Is net a delegate present who does net leave the hall with the definite con viction that there Is one nation In earnest about this limitation of arma ment, and It is the United Stales of America.
