U. 8. TO TAKE PART IN
NAVAL POLICY CONFERENCE

Washington, Sept. 1S.-Dispatches
received here to-day from Europe
disclose the fact that conference is
to be held in Paris early in October
at which naval matters of an un-
stated nature are to be taken up by
representatives of the Allied Gov
ernments. According to lea Nazion-
ale, an Italian paper usually well in
formed, the United States is to par
ticipate in the discussion.
Officials here would not comment
upon the report further than to say
that no political conference was in
prospect.
The extent of American participa-
ton in the deliberations probably
would be limited. Since the United
States is not at war with Austria,
Vice Admiral Sims, commanding the
American naval forces in European
waters, probably would not take part
in discussion of measures to sup
port the Italian drive with naval OPP
erations in which British and French
ships might participate.
There is the possibility. however
that means to curb the operations CT
Austrian and German submarines
and open another route to France by
way of the Mediterranean for Amer
lean troops or supply ships may he
in contemplation. In that event the
United States might participate in
any joint action of the Allies to clear
the Mediterranean of hostile subma-
rines, regardless of whether the
U-boats were German or Austrian.

direct control of the Premier and
Commander-in-Ch for better CO.
operation in the work of the reor-
ganization OF the army.
Rumors of the proposed removal
of the seat of government to Moscow
are denied in official circles, where II
is pointed out that no political or
military reason for such removal ex-
lists.
The probable action of the Prem
Ter and his associates in the case of
Gen. Kaledines excited interest also.
The General yesterday offered his
resignation as Hetman of the Don
Cossacks. A government statement
declares Gen. Kaledines announced
he had no intention of starting a
counter revolution and was ready TO
come to Mohilev to explain his &C
tions.
Premier Kerensky, in a proclama-
ton issued yesterday, appealed to the
population and to the men of the
army and navy to be calm, to trust
the Government and to continue TO
fight the enemy.
Preparations continue for the
Democratic Congress proposed to be
held in Petrograd on September 10,
old style (September 23).
The Democratic Congress referred
to is probably the one proposed by
the Petrograd Council of Soldiers
and Workmen's Deputies, according
to dispatches of September Is, when
the council announced it had decid-
ed to convoke Immediately general
conference of representatives of the
whole organized democracy.

SEPT. 26 FIRST
BOND DELIVERY
RESERVE BANKS TO DIsTRIB-
UTE BONDS TO MORE THAN
S,7OO,OOO.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-Delivery
of Liberty Bonds to subscribers, Sec
rotary McAdoo announced tonight,
will begin September 26. The twelve
Federal Reserve Banks will distrib-
ute the issue. Considering the prob
able retention by many subscribers
of interim certificates, already issued,
officials estimate that the work Of
distribution will require several
weeks.
| The huge issue is larger in the
number of bonds required than first
reports, based on more than 4,000,-
900 individual subscriptions, indicat-
ed. The number of coupon bonds,
Secretary McAdoo announced to-
night, is estimated by Federal Re-
serve Banks as in excess of $780,
900 pieces, of which more than T.
OOO, 900 are of the $50 and 500 de-
nomination.
In announcing the date for the
commencement of deliveries, Secre-
tary McAdoo repeated his suggestion
that holders of interim certificates
would find it to their advantage in
many instances to hold the certifi-
Gates, instead of exchanging them for
bonds, until Congress dispose of the
bill authorizing 4 per cent interest
rate on the next offering.
Urged To Aid Government.
sit is apparent" read Secretary
McAdoo's statement, that If pend
ing legislation should be enacted and
bonds should be issued bearing inter-
est at higher rate than 8 " per cent
per annum and exempt from the nor
NAL income tax, in view of the result
ing privilege of conversion, the de-
mand for definite az per cent Lib
erty Bonds, particularly those of the
small denominations, would be great
/ ly reduced.
at is apparent also that much of
the demand for bonds of small de-
nominations comes through employ
ers and others who have subscribed
for bonds for their employers and
customers under arrangements al
lowing the latter to make payment In
installments over an extended per-
iod and therefore the immediate de-
| livery.
employers, banks, trust compan-
les and others are urged to aid In
relieving the Government and the
subscribers whom they represent or
the troubles and expense incident to
the delivery of great numbers OF
bonds in small denominations at
this time, particularly in cases where
subscribers have not made payment
in full for their bonds, by accept
ing and procuding the acceptance in
the first instance Of bonds Of the
largest denominations possible, and
of registered bonds rather than cou-
pom bonds in case of large subscrip-
tions, and by retaining or procuring
the retention of the full-paid inter-
! i'm certificates until Congress shall
have acted in the matter of pending
! legislation and the rate OF interest
to be borne by any new bonds res
pect to their exemption from taxa
ton and other matters shall have
been determined.

thousand automobiles in Havana
have been forced into retirement by
the action OF retail gasoline dealers

When Life Is Sweet.

II IS not the walking merely, II is

the spiritual and bodily condition in
which you can find entertainment and
eNhilar0tion In SO simple and natural a
pastimc. You are eligible to any good
fortune when you are In the condition

water taste sweet TO you, how much
else will taste sweet! When The exer-
else Of your limbs affords you pleas-
ure, and the play OF your sense upon
the various objects and shows Of ma
ture quiCkens and stimulates your splr-
Il, your relation to the world and to
yourself is what il should be-simple
and direct and wholesome. The mood
in which you set out on Il spring or
autumn ramhle or a sturdy winter
walk, and your greedy feet have to
be restrained from deyouring the dis
tances too fast, Is the mood In which
your best thoughts and impulses come
TO you, or In which you might embark
upon any noble and heroic enterprise.
Life Is sweet In such moods, the uni
verse is complete, and there Is no fail

SMASH THE FOOD GRABBERs.

The people Of this country allow pri
vate greed and spectators profits to
rule the entire business of handling,
transporting and distributing the sus-
tenance Of the people, and then tell
food rioters they are very naughty
people and ought toe be ashamed OF
themselves.
With IA superabundance of rood, with
wealth inconceivable, with money piled
up here until mankind is aghast, mil
lions of people are forced to go with
empty bellies. We as a nation do
nothing to check or limit the explota-
ton of the people We see that with
corporation we can have cheap food
and the producer can have a living re-
turn for hia toll; we reject co-opera-
ton and cling to the system of waste
and want.
Other nations have learned that the
national food supplies are the first sub
ject Of national concern Ours refuses
absolutely to gather anything from
their stern experiences.
Nobody doubts that this government
could and would take quick, drastic
and effective action to relieve the gen.
ersl situation if this was war time
But this is the same as war time
war between greedy profit grabbers
and the masses Of the people that face
starvation for the lack of food Will
which warehouses are crammed anC
elevators are fairly bursting.

was engrossed in examining the inside
Of watch and did not notice her. She
was tlustered and timid and sat down
on bench to recover her composure.
The position offered was odd, and per-
haps the jeweler wanted a male as

did not make out Nellie, but went up

Don't Pity the Poor Boy, Rather Pity
the Rich One.

Uncle Joe Cannon is now over SO
years Of age and is yet one of the
leaders in the House Of Representa-
tives. In a recent interview printed in
the Physical Culture Magazine Uncle
Joe was asked to what he contributed
his health and vigor as we'll as the in
fiuance he had acquired in the nation.
He answered by quoting the late
Henry Ward Beecher who said that
we should be most thankful that we
have had not a God-fearing but a God
loving and manknd-ioying ances-
try" In a word, - said Uncle Joe,
"Beecher had expressed his belief that
much that we are comes as a result of
ancestry"
"And so you may say for me that
the boy who is blessed with good an
cestors has proper and profound
foundation upon which to build sue
cessfu career. Much misplaced and
wholly unwarranted sympathy is given
to the poor boy who from necessity
early formed habits in life which en-
abed him to care for himself and prob
ably care for helpless or aged parents
as we'll rs for dependent younger sis
tiers and brothers, while the sons of
rich parents, who never earned dol
lar in their life, and inherited their
fortunes from their ancestors, as a
rule, cumber the ground and generally
succeed in dissipating the fortunes
which they inherit"

THE SABBATH DAY.

A proper Observance of the Sabbath
Day was once theme of popular dis
cussion. For all that the anti-Sabbath
forces have gained ground and today
our Sabbaths are far more secular
than then. The following exhortation
from such popular weekly as Leslie's
is not only refreshing but timely:
1--WE believe with Speaker Champ
Clark that the world is growing better,
but let US not lose our respect for the
Sabbath. a cherished American tradi-
ton. History proves such respect to
be national safeguard 1t stands for
stability. No nation that has had rev
erence for Gods day has ever persisted.
A disregard for this rs a day of rest,
of quiet and Of worship carries with it
a train Of license into the whole moral
life Of the people Unless it be differ
ent from other days, it bellies it's name
and no longer justies its existence.
'Strong influences have been at work
to make the American Sunday day
for amusements and recreation, leav-
ing little time for rest and less for
worship. We do not believe the best
judgment of the American people will
ever support the change of this holy
day to a holiday
