ENGLAND DISCUSSES
DISARMAMENT IDEA
Prompted by Speech of Gov,
ernment Leader in House
of Commons.

LONDON, March H.-Despite the fact
that the speech of Sir Edward Grey, the
foreign secretary and government leader
in the house of commons, was made too
late to appear in the morning news
papers, the news of his advocacy of
international arbitration as a means of
settling disputes between countries and
the consequent disarmament of the ma
tiOns of the world, has spread all over
the city and is occasioning much COM
ment from every quarter
While the great majority OF people
consider Sir Edwards view a trfte too
UtOpian, still there is a general feeling
that this state of affairs may take place
in the future and that 1t will not be a
bad idea to start the movement now.
The foreign secretary's speech was
made during the discussion of the bill
TO increase the British navy In such a
manner that England will have thirty
dreadnOughts In 1914, to Germany S
twenty-one. Sir Grey commenced his
speech advocating International arbitra-
tion with a quotation from one of Presi-
dent Taft's recent speeches on the sub
jetc and alluded to Mr.. Taft's utterances
several times during his speech.

ON SILVER
SERVICE FOR UTAH
Presbyterian Ministers of
Washington Appeal
to Taft.
THE BLAST.

President Taft has before him a pro-
test, signed by the Presbyterian minis
ters of Washington, denOuncing the
proffer OF the silver service TO be given
by the State of Utah to the battleship
Of that name.
The protest was presented yesterday
following a meeting in the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church. The pc
tition IS one of many with which the
President has been presented since the
announcement that the service In de-
sign would be suggestive Of the Nor
mon faith.
The ministers declare that they will
nght the acceptance of the service TO
the end. The silver service is handsome,
and bears the likeness OF Brigham
Young. and OF the Mormon temple in
salt Lake City.
In denounCing the practice of Nor
mOnism, the ministers declared that
faith to be menace to the community,
4 blot upon the traditions of the United
states. and that It should not be rec
gnlzed.

FURNISHING OF /
HOUSE POSTPONED
Will Wait Another Year for
Reapportionment
Action.

Superintendent Elliott Woods. of the
Capitol, has decided to postpone the
contemplated refurnishfng Of the House
of Representatives chamber until March
4, 1913. He will do this on account Of
the extra session and because no re-
apportionment bill was passed last ses-
sion. and he does not know just what
number of members he VIII have to
make provision for.
The House will be refurnished in 1913,
no matter what Congress may do about
reapportionrnent. In the long interval
between March 4, 1913, and the Degin-
ming of the regular session in Decem-
ber of that year, there will be ample
time to make the improvements.
The old desks will be removed and
chairs, fitted with folding desks. viii be
Installed. The new seats will occupy
much less room than the pressnt desks.

Doctors in all parts of the country

most, as every victim complains of
lame back and urinary troubles which
should not be neglected, as these dam

He Calls on Her Mother
By STACY E. BAKER

Young Mr.. Butler-Freddy Butler,
as he was popularity known-stared
At the woman in keen surprise as she
cordially invited him In and placed
an easy chair at his disposal. Mrs.
Coyle was loquacious; as yet Freddy
had not uttered word.
Il knew you the moment saw
Tou." gabbled the motherly old wom-
an. Freddy had an appreciative eye
for her, despite her garrulousness.
She peered kindly at him from be-
hind old-fashioned. silver-bowed spec
tacies.
Yes, I knew you at once-but
aren't you pretty young for the job?"
Freddy surveyed her with reproach-
tul eyes. Also he flushed. 1t was
most embarrassing to have his tender
years flung in his face-especially
from the lips of the mother of the
girl he intended to marry.
Il don't think l am" he retorted
Stiff1y.
This woman. In spite of her anti
thetic appearance, was positively
coarse: different, with all the differ
snce possible. from Hope-sweet,
slim Hope, his brown-eyed brown
haired divinity.
1t had been a whim of Hopes that
he come to Swissvale alone and break
the news of their engagement to her
mother, whom he had never met,
while she remained In Pittsburg. 1t
was strange whim, but Hope was
girl of odd ideas and the personifi-
cation OF impulse.
Under the scrutinizing eyes of the
elderly woman, Freddy drew his boy
ish form more erect In the great
chair. and the red on his cheek
thickened
Pretty young" reiterated Hope
Coyle's mother. Pretty young for the
Job. The others before you were
older men; not that am criticizing
you. sir, but 1t seems to me that you
are-er-pretty young for the job
Freddy glared in amazement Hope
had told him that she had said not
