AMERICA BACKED BY WEALTH CAN DEMAND
 LIMIT ARMAMENT

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4.-Backed by ts great wealth and resources, and with on established naval building program. the United States will be in ! position at the close of the Europ aan war to call an international con erence for limitation of armament Secretary Daniels declared today be- lore the House Naval Committee.
 "If these nations know that we are -ich enough. and big enough. and pre- pared to build more dreadnaughts .han anybody else. 1t will give us a stronger voice" he said.
 "I agree with you there" said Rep resentative Butler. whose questions had brought out the secretary's state ment, "but as to one point. I would wait until then, and if they refused )ur suggestion and kept on building | would borrow hundreds of millions of dollars and build 25 ships in four years"
 Where would you build themT' asked Secretary Daniels.
 q would devote every facility in the country to 1t" said Representative Butler.
 Pressing the Secretary for any spe- ciflc reason for increasing the navy Immediately. Representative Butler asked if he had any knowledge Of impending danger he had not reval q.
 'we cannot be indifferent in the present world madness for war" the Secretary said. q do not believe the European nations are building to at lack us. but 1t is possible. If we wait t takes three years to build battle ship, and they are building now"
 Secretary Daniels told the Housr Naval Committee he favored leglsla ion to compel naval officers to de. vote their lives to the government in stead of being actually required to serve only eight years after gradua- ton from Annapolis.
 Tn hearing was on bill to in- crease the number of annual appoint ments to the naval academy.

OF FEMINISM
 IS FOUND
lsneclal Correspondencel

NEW YORK. Jan. 26.-Dr. Freder- ick A. Cook. who started some talk in the newspapers about tho north pole. has returned to his native Brook lyn home bringing fresh discoveries to a palpitating world.
 The doctor declares tho wild men of Borneo are not wild. and the doc tor ought to know, as he has been pastlming among them for several months. Instead, from his story they appear to have reached O high stage of development, in which the women do all the work.
 The doctor arrived on tho Norweg- lan-Amerlcan liner Kristianiafiord via Bergen. 'I have discovered" he an- nounced. "the wild men of Borneo. They are not wild.'
 q found them to be O race of tall, well.bunt folks of fair complexion. Their only unciyllized traits are head hunting and polygamy."
 To prove that the wild men are not wild at all the doctor went on to say that the women have taken things into their own hands in Borneo. IL is a Utopia of feminism. They have taken over the management of the tribal governments. as well as build ing the fires and putting out the cat. They refuse to let tho men do the work. A man is entitled to as many wives as he believes necessary to support him in comfort and the sta tion to which he has been accustom- ed
 "The men show hatred for their ene- mics" continued Brooklyn's greatest explorer "but they were very friend ly towards me. We had a lovely visit of seven months with them.
 'T have returned to the United States" he said, because there are five bills before Congress leading up to an investigation of my claims that I discovered the north pole. The in- vestigatlon will clear and vindicate me.
