MOORE HAS SPECIAL WEEK OF READING Book week which was observed this week in many parts of the country held an important place in the reading classes of Joseph Moore school during the past week. Books or stories which the children especially wanted to read were read in the class rooms. Afterwards, they told or acted out the story they liked best. Thes ebooks and stories were to be the subject of the entertainment which the pupils of the school planned to give in the ParentTeachers' meeting of the school, in the chapel beginning at 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon, Nov. 18. The children's part of the program for the afternoon follows: Pantomine Kindergarten Goody Two Shoes First grade Events from Robinson Ctusoe... Second grade Pilgrim Stories Third and Fourth grades "Just David," a Review Fifth grade A Book Quiz Sixth grade News of the Week The next problem to come before the Washington conference is the question of the rights of China and Japan. This is the biggest of the Far East problems. Ulster, the northern of Ireland will not agree to Premier Llloyd George's plans to make peace with the revolutionary Irish, the Sinn Feiners. Two delegations of former service men have called on President Harding and have asked that all prisoners who were made such because they were against the war, should be set free at once. President Harding gave formal announcement this week of the fact that war is over between Germany and the United States. This is tho final step in the long series of discussions and formalities which it was necessary to take before peace could really be declared. In a simple, though dramatic way, Mr. Hughes, secretary of state, in the United States cabinet told the 2,100 people who had come together for the armament conference Saturday morning, Nov. 12. definite plans for reducing the navies of the nations. The plan calls for a 10-year holiday in the building of battleships and immediate destruction of 66 ships which are now In use or are being built. It is thought that with slight changes, Great Britain and Japan w ill agree to the plan.
