Earlier in the day the governors

AT the suggestion of Governor Mil

to discuss with their respective con-
gressional delegations the question of
reimbursement by the federal gov

which suffered heavy loss by discon-
tinuance OF student army training

The man who stands as the repre-
sentative of the foremost democracy
Nf the world goes to Europe not that
he may march down the Champs Ely
see, not that he may receive the plau-
dts of the French multitudes. But he
goes to Europe as the champion Of
American Ideals because he wants to
see that out of this war comes some
thing worth while. He would have
been derelct he would have been
false to his own conscience and false
to our ideas Of him if he had not stood

those institutions which we hope to
SEQ spread around tho world

renresents not the ambitions of Na-

London Doc 1S.--Disclosures con-
corning the extent of the drug traffic
in London which were made at the
inquest into the death of Billie Carle-
ton, popular actress, had sensa-
tional sequel today when the police
arrested Lo Ping You, Il Chinese, and
his English wife.
At the inquest a witness, a con-
fessed drug addict told how drugs,
such as cocaine and heroin, had been
bought in quantities in the West end,
and he testified about visits to Lon
don's Chinatown to smoke opium and
to arrange for doping parties" in
West end apartments.
Lo Ping You was charged with hav-
ing opium without authority and the
charge against his wife was that she
had supplied opium to Billie Carleton,
Counsel for the prosecution said the
woman's house had been an opium
den for some time Opium accesso-
ries were found there.
He said Il further charge would
probably be made against the accused
of supplying opium at NO. 10 Dover
street. Lo Ping You is said by the
police to have been a party to dis
gusting orgy in his place, which be-
gan Saturday night and lasted into
Sunday afternoon.
II try my best to stop" said the
accused who appears to be of higher
stamp than the average resident of
Chinatown. He pleaded guilty to the
charge against him. The magistrate
remarked that he seemed to be very
young to be a victim of the opium
habit.
"He started when he was ! / years
old" the police inspector said, when
| showed him his pipe which | had
found, he tried to snatch away the
tiny scrap of opium that remained in
it." Both of the accused were re-

are needed.

plan, saying il would break down the
present system of obtaining officers

get commissions without going

required number Only 500 officers

5000 as soon as the temporary COM
missions are revoked over eight
years would elapse before the re-
quired number could be obtained.

peace conference is ended and we see
how things stand?" he asked ut
may be that all navies except one
controlled by all the movers Will be
done away with. In that event, money
we spend now would he wasted"
Captain Laning replied that might
be advisable if other nations looked
at It in the same light. but if they
continued their expansions it would
be foolhardy for the United states to
sit back and allow them to get a big
lead.
''As Admiral Badger said, a second
rate navy is almost as bad as none at
ALL" he said.
A letter from Secretary Daniels
recommending that the increased pay
of enlisted men be made permanent
was read into the record by Chair
man Padgett.
