Is a Local Question.

1t is difficult TO appreciate the
intensity OF feeling IN Europe upon
this subject. It is likewise hard
TO appreciate the multiplicity Of
detail that would need to be COW
ersd in an argument that would
set a standard for armament.
For instance, II might be sug-
gested that all the nations Of the
world be allowed TO maintain their
present relative degree OF pre-
paredness for war. II so. should
the standard OF a navy's strength
be the number Of its battieships

to engage the attention OF
this Congress and the in
terest Of an awakened country.
Thousands OF well-meaning
dreamers are counting lastly on
an international naval holiday"
and ultimately on disarmament
and universal peace.
There is no sound or suhstan-
tial foundation for such q dream.
So far the Car Of Russia, hold
ing power Of the call, has not an
voked the third Hague peace con-
ference for 1918. His whole stti-
tude plainly reveals the disincii-
nation on the part OF the great
powers for practical progressive
movements m the great plans OF
peace.
Unwilling to DisarTn.
The limitations Of armament
and the naval holiday" can only
be seriously considered when the
Triple Alliance-Germany. Aus
tria and Italy-together with the
other great powers like France
and Russia, consent to discuss 4
at a. Hague conference, This they
have not vet done.
The suggestion that the United
States. in advance of an interna-
tional agreement, Stop upbuilding
our navy, and thus leave national
defense and American policies al
the mercy of any unexpected foe.
should never receive serious con-
sideration.
The first peace conference at The
Hague. in 1899. discussed the lin
itation Of armament, but that dis
cussion had but one result IN q
refusal on the part OF European
nations to put It on the program
Of the second conference. IN 1907
The United States made the
f1rSt proposal for calling the sec
ond conference, but the point was
raised that the Gar Of Russia
had called the first conference
and would be offended II the priv
ilege of calling the second were
denied him Upon these repre-
sensations the United States
made the mistake Of yielding. and
the matter Of arranging the pro-
gram went entirely out OF her
hands
Preliminary notes were submit
ted to all the nations suggesting
possible subjects to be discussed.
1t could not be expected that
Russia, opposing a discussion Of
the limitations Of armament,
would urge II upon other nations.
A number of powerful nations OF
Europe soon made il evident that
even had the United States made
up the tentative program, limita-
ton of armament could never
have found a place among the
questions to be considered.
A number OF the powerful ma
tons went so far as to state fat
ly that If the limitation OF arma-
ment were to be discussed they
would retire from the conference.
The Emperor Of Germany, polite
in other things, almost brusaue-
ly repealed Mr.. Roosevelt's sug-
gestion Of disarmament AS II
was desirable that all the i'm
portant nations should be mem
bers OF the conference, the limi-
tation OF armament was. Of
necessity, relegated to the back
ground.

a clean breast of everything in order
to be paroled in eleven months.
This afternoon Bertsche will con-
fine himself only to the operations of
the clairvoyants. Later he will take
up the pockpockets and tell how,
through the generous use of money,
he squared the case of the gang led
by the notorious Eddie Jackson, king
of the dips.
Hoyne has given an intimation that
several high members of a former
administration are facing serious
trouble as result of Bertsche's con-
fession.

Ryan also confessed before the grand

The nutmeg is the kernel of the
fruit of several species of trees
growing wild in Asia, Africa and
America. The cultivated nutmeg
tree is from fifty to seventy-fve
feet high ard produces fruit for
sixty years. The fruit is of the
size and appearance of a roundish
pear, yellow in color. The feshy
part of the fruit is rather hard and
resembles candied citron. Within

The bola, consisting of tgo or
three heavy balls of lead or stone
attached to a thong six or eight
feet long, serves to hamper the
movements of the bird, for the
balls twine about the part which
the bola strikes regardless of
whether it be the legs, neck OF

hunters to overhaul and dispatch
the bird.
At the approach of danger the
