Presider a | Harding today asked the senate 1 3 give approval to the arms conferenc treaties in order that America's prt 2 fessed desire to rid the world of wo - n.ay not become "a hollow mockery." "If we can not join in making el i fcctive these covenants for peace," h r oaid, "and stamp this conference wit > America's approval, we shall discred . the influence of the republic, rende iuture efforts futile and unlikely, an write discouragement where today th world is ready to acclaim new hope. Delivering his message in persoi : in a voice and manner that betokene cieep emotion the president was ar swered repeatedly by applause froi i floor and galleries. He asked that ral lfication be given without delay an i before he left the cnpitol senate mo I chinery was set in motion to haste , a vote. Five principal treaties nnd two sup i plemcntal agreements, the fruition o 12 weeks of negotiation just conclude here, were in the bundle of interna tion covenants taken to the senat chamber by Mr. Harding. They pro pose, in short, a limitation on navi armament, a new bill of rights fo China and a four power concord t preserve peace in the Pacific. All of these agreements, said th president, are related portions of th effort "to put an end to contradictions to remove ambiguities, and establis clear understandings." None of them, he nsserted, "com mits the American government to an kind of alliance, entanglement or ir volvment." After the address was complete both Republican and Democratic lead ers predicted that the treaties woul be ratified without long debate and b substantial majorities. Only one, th four power Pacific pact, is threatene now with organized opposition and it opponents have not yet demonstrate how large a vote they can comman against the strength of party leader on both sides of the chamber.

GOVERNMENT MOVES > IN ARMS LIMITATION > Washington, Feb. 10. ? Additional steps had been taken by the Washt ington government even before pre1 gentation of the naval limitation and supplementary treaties to the senate > today by President Harding to make immediately effective, so far as the United States is concerned, some provisions of those agreements, includ? ing the status quo understanding as to Pacific fortifications. t War department orders have direct. ed th* diversion of an assignment of ! 14 three-inch anti-aircraft guns built ' for the Manila fortifications. They are en route from San Francisco on 1 the transport Wheaton and will be unloaded at Honolulu. At the same ' time, orders assigning an air service heavy bombardment squadron, now i assembled at Mather field, California, to the Philippines were rescinded. These orders followed earlier ac, tion by the navy department stopping the shipment of a large assign, ment of mines to Manila and also the , order to suspend work on all new 1 capital ships scheduled for scrapping when the limitation treaty has been , ratified. Another special board was created today by the department headi ed by Rear Admiral McElroy, to de; termine whether the dreadnought West Virginia, under construction at i Newport. Va., or the dreadnought , Washington, building at Camden, N. .1.. should be retained with the dreadnought Colorado, also building at Camden, to make up the two postJutland ships to be included in the American fleet as an equivalent for Japan's retention of the battleship Mutsu of about the same type. Under the terms of the treaty none of these steps is required at this time, as both the naval limitations and the status quo agreement are effective only on formal exchange and deposit i of treaty ratifications by the five signatory powers. The Washington government apparently has adopted a pol, icy of going beyond the strict letter of the treaty, however, and evidenc, ing in advance by specific acts its in, tention tp live up to the full spirit under eontpnlpraTWI^^l^^WNW^^^P with specific island fortifications which will further emphnsize this atntude. bodyTn river i remains mystery Miami, Fla., Feb. 11.?Mystery still surrounds the finding of a dismem' bored body of a man in the river here.

MUSCLE SHOALS NOT ACTIVE SOON Washington, Feb. 10.?Delays estimated from six months to a year or more probably will be encountered by government officials before they are in a position to turn over the nitrate plant power stations and water dams at Muscle Shoals, Ala., to Henry Ford, should his proposed contract for their purchase and lease for a period of 100 years bo accepted. Despite the most expeditious action by congress, in the event it authorizes the war secretary to accept the contract, it was estimated todny by members of the house military committee attending hearings on the Ford offer that such a delay was apparently inescapable. Questions were raised at the hearing today by members, which in the opinion of some with long experience 'n such mntters, would be necessary to bo solved by the court, irrespective of congressional action unless the Ford offer was rejected. These involved the delivery of clear titles Mr. Ford of government owned properties connected with the Muscle Shoals project but which are located on lands privately owned and whose owners claims they have otnioos to* the pruchase of the buildings whi< h they intend to exercise. It was the general opinion of some committee members after hearing the testimony of Col. John Hull, acting judge advocate general of the army, that the government may be compelled to institute proceedings before it obtains the necessary titles to th?* lands for Mr. Ford and in doing this meet opposition from the owners, who would perhaps test their rights in the courts. Colonel Hull said it was his opinion that the contractual obligations were "non-enforceable" and "null and void" and could not be successfully presented either by the Alabama Power company representatives or officials of the Air Nitrates corporation, both cf whom claim optional privileges and have informed Secretary Weeks that they intend to exercise them before the Muscle Shoals properties are disposed of to private concerns. The large and enthusiastic meeting of the Union Amusement company was held in thflC^bms of the Chamber of Commerce^Vn February 8th.
