WAR SCARES DUE
TO CONTRACTORS
They Would Drag Country
Into Bankruptcy to Win
Their Ends

Washington, Dec. 17.-That war
scares are largely inspired by arna-
nent contractors who ultimately
would drag various countries into the
bankruptcy court was charged last
night by Francis W. Hirst, editor of
the London Economist, in an address
before the international conference of
the American society for judicial set
tlement OF international disputes.
He characterized as absurd the
purchase of dreadnoughts by Brazil
Ito protect itself against Argentina"
and declared that the rivalry between
Japan and the United States was
crushing the people of Japan under a
load OF taxes which armament eX-
penditures also were wrecking the
finances of Great Britain and Ger
many.
The supreme court of the United
States is analogous to the proposed
arbitral court was often cited in the
discussions of the conference.
Dean Charles Noble Gregory of
Iowa state university deprecated war.
He said aviation was new means of
destroying man by overhead attacks,
inland cities now being now more i'm
points.
The permanent court Of arbitral
justice, the purposes of which the So
ciety hopes ultimately to put into ef-
feet, received favorable and unfavor-
able treatment by various speakers of
the day.
Mr.. Hirst. English representative at
the conference, commented on the
danger of having the court too judi
cial," urging that diplomacy be ming
led with justice for the general satis-
faction Of all.
Mr.. Hirst read a letter from Lord
Loreburn, lord high chancellor OF
England. saying:
II need not tell you how deep and
sincere is my sympathy with any
movement to further the judicial set
tlement of international disputes. II

realized sooner or later. And when
it comes, the world will. with graft.
tude, remember the sustained efforts
of the American government in this
good cause, and will treasure them
among the loftiest endeavors of great
nations"
Referring to the analogy between
the supreme court Of the United
States and permanent court of ar.
bitral justice he said:
"The analogy between international
and national law is not, and never
can be complete. because one Of the
functions of International law must
be to adjust and reconcile, not tc
override conflicting systems. When
once a convention has been passed
the difficulty ends, and the convention
or statute can be strictly interpreted

Justice White is one of the greatest
baseball fans in the capital. He dear

sitting in box when stranger en-

enthusiast as the judge. They began
exchanging opinions regarding the
plays in true fan style.

er, what might yours be?"
White" replied the Judge, and with
this brief introduction they sat and
rooted and roasted like real sports.
Finally, in the last inning, when a
timely hit won the games, Jones
reached over and slapping his COM
panion on the shoulder, yelled:
White, that was a damned fine hit,
wasn't it?"
The Judge agreed that it was, and
they left the game without knowing
anything more about each other than
their last names. The following day,
Justice White was walking to the cap

volumes in front Of an old book store

1t was his friend Jones, and the

Justice Moody was also baseball

When John K. Tener first came t

New York, Dec. 17-With his body

A large and pompous person, wear
ing d high hat, long coat, yellow
spats and congenial sneer, for sew
eral days made himself obnoxious
around washington hotel a bit ago.
He announced he was from New
York, ragged the bellboys, jawed the
clerks, cussed the service, roared at
the food. complained about his room
and the elevator and the telephones
and the bar and everything else.
One afternoon he walked over to the
porter and said: "Here, you; I'm going
to quit this town and go back to New
York, where I can get some decent
service. l want you to buy me two
seats in parlor car on the o'clock
New York train. Get me two seats,
now, and meet me at the station with

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
A CURE FOR ALL

i
Not Patent Cure-Aii, Nor a Mod
crn Miracle, But Simply Ra-
tional Cure For Dyspepsia.
In these days of humbuggery and
deception, the manufacturers of pat
ent medicines, as a rule, seem to
think their medicines will not sell
unless they claim that it will cure
every disease under the sun. And
they never think of leaving out dys-
pepsia and stomach troubles. They
are sure to claim that their nostrum
Is absolutely certain to cure every dys
peptic and he need look no further.
In the face of these absurd claims
II is refreshing to note that the pro-
prietors of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets have refrained from making any
undue claims or false representations
regarding the merits of this most ex-
cellent remedy for dyspepsia and sto-
mach troubles. They make but one
claim for 1t, and that is, that for in
digestion and various stomach trout
bles Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is a
radical cure. They go further than
this, and any man or woman suf-
fering from indigestion, chronic or
nervous dyspepsia, who will give the
remedy q trial will find that nothing
is claimed that the facts will not full
ly sustain.
1t Is a modern discovery. composed
Of harmless ingredients acceptable to
the weakest or most delicate stomach.
It's great success in curing stomach
troubles is due to the fact that the
medical properties are such that it
will digest whatever wholesome food
is taken into the stomach, no matter
whether the stomach is in good work
ing order or not. IL rests the over
worked organ and replenishes the
body, the blood, the nerves, creating
n healthy appetite, giving refreshing
sleep and the blessing which always
accompany a good digstion and prop
cr assimilation of food.
In using Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
no dieting is required. Simply eat
plenty of wholesome food and take
these Tablets at each meal, thus as
slsting and resting the stoma ch
which rapidly regains its proper di-
gestive power, when the tablets will
be no longer required
Nervous Dyspepsia Is simply a con-
dition in which some portion or por-
tions of the nervous system are not
properly nourished. Good digestion
invigorates the nervous system and
every organ in the body.
Stuart's dyspepsia tablets are sold
by all druggists at 80 cents per pack
age.

Burma's Gilded Paeoda.

Rangoon, the principal city of Burma,
grew up around the sacred spot on
which is built the great Shoay Dagon
pagoda, one of its principal wonders.
"Rising TO q height OF $50 feet. its size
is greatly enhanced by the fact that II
stands on an eminence that is itself 1G6
feet above the level of the CITY," says
a writer "It is covered with pure
gold from base TO summit. and once IN
every generation this gold is complete
ly renewed by pCblic subscription. Yet
throughout the interval the process OF
regildlng goes on perpetually. Pious
people who seek in this way TO express
their veneration and TO add TO their
store of spiritual merit climb up daily
with little luttering packets of gold
leaf. which they fasten on some frac.
tion of its great surface. There is no
more picturesque sight offered by 1t

Its Purpose,

They stood In front of one of Wash
ington's leading furniture stores. The
windows were full OF beautifully in
laid pieces of furniture, such things as
are only within the reach of the rich
and are meant TO lend an additional
touch to the already perfectly appoint
ed home. Among them was an after
noon tea table. 1t was frail, dell
cately constructed piece on rollers and
brought to mind an artlstically gown
ed hostess serving tea to select CO.
terle. while the conversation dealt with
nothing more heavy than the latest
fiction and comic operas. With long
drawn out sigh the woman contem-
plated it. The man, following her
gaze, saw it and was unimpressed.
She fastened to explain.
"That there is tea table. It's just
grand TO use when you amt got no
