Made Up Mind Quickly.

Representative Kelly of Michigan
asked the secretary when he first came
to the conclusion that America should
have navy second to none in the
world.
II came to that conclusion when the
war broke out" was the reply. I'm
til that time believed that the work
ing people who suffer most from wars.
and bankers and business men who
pay for wars, should be considered be-
fore the militarists. But when | real
lied that the militarists of another ma
ton might plunge the world into war
at their will, / realized that | was
wrong. Unless we have navy which
can lick any other navy in the world.
we may as we'll have none"
The secretary submitted TO the COM
mittee a report showing the present
comparative strengths OF the large nav
les of the world. Great Britain has
in operation or building 61 battleships,

ers, s light cruisers, 90 destroyers,

The clause to provide for Interrupt

sary after the peace conference Sec
rotary Daniels proposed as follows:
eff, at any time, the construction au-
thorized by this act shall have been
contracted for, there have been estab-
lished, with the cooperation of the
United States of America, an interna-
tional tribunal or tribunals competent
to secure peaceful determination of all
international disputes and which shall
render unnecessary the maintenance of

gagements made In the establishment

president of the United States"
Concentration now upon the con-
struction of capital ships was urged
by Secretary Daniels, who pointed ont
that in combating the submarine men-
ance the navy has acquired an excess
of small craft.
He told the committee that the sign
ing of the armistice led him to defer
trip to Europe planned for this
month.

TAFT ANSWERS CRITICS
BY Ex.pREsIDEnT WIN. Il. TAFT.

OF course we cannot hope to make
the great changes such as the League
of Nations will bring about without
opposition. Fortunately, the war has
taught us the great advantages of In.
ternational cooperation. 1t was only
by good team work that the free lib
erty-loving nations were able to whip
Germany.
The treaty which the United States
Senate is debating obligates the mem
bers of the proposed League to protect
one another against attack from ene-
mics outside their own boundaries
bent upon conquest. Although this
agreement (Article X of the Covenant)
is vital to any arrangement which
seeks to prevent war, 1t has been at
tackled OH the ground that 1t would
draw the United States into wars in
various parts of the world and force
us to send our boys to fight in quar-
rels which did not concern us.
We should remember, however, that
the main purpose of Article X is
to frighten nations tempted to wars of
conquest from yielding TO the tempta-
ton, by the certainty that they will
be crushed If they begin such war by
a universal boycott and union of
forces Of the world against them. If
big war breaks out again, the United
States will be forced to take part in
1t whether we have League Of Ma
tions or not. We tried hard enough
to keep out of the war with Germany
but found we couldnt.
A little war contrary to the League
rules could be handled by the powers
close at hand. Certainly it would not
be necessary to send American troops
to suppress an uprising in the Bal
kans when prompt action by the armies
of Italy or some other nearby power
full nation could suppress the fracas
before American troops could even
get started-

Toledo, Ohio, June 26.--Jess Will
hard and Jack Dempsey tonight en-
tered the home stretch of their train
ing grind in preparation for their
heavyweight contest here July 4.
Willard announced that he would
continue to work as he has been do
ing for the last week, boxing from
eight to ten rounds daily and taking
three or four rounds of shadow box
ing an exercises to strengthen his
abdomcnal muscles. The champion is
pleased with his condition and is coli
dent that he will be in the best shape
of his career when he climbs through
the ropes to face his youthful challen-
ger.
Before boxing ten rounds at his
Maumec Bay camp today, Willard
hoped on the scales and balanced
the beam at 243 IA pounds, which is
six and a quarter pounds below the
weight he made for his championship

Walters Decline
to Receive Tips;
Prefer Percent

Correspondence Of Associated Press
Rome, May 15.-Rome walters re-
fuse to accept tips from patrons. Tips
are vigorously suppressed and moth
ing can induce the walters to violate
the practice. Their insistence on
keeping to the regulations,
however, is not motivated by
any altruistic tendencies for one
of the Rome waters fourteen points"
is that 20 percent must be added to
the total of the bill for service.
An American, one Of the latest ar
rivals in Rome, who is attached to the
American embassy here, was paying
his bill recently when, on leaving
tip of 80 cents for the waiter, he was
astonished to find the waiter handing
the money back to him. The Ameri-
can Immediately concluded that the
tip was not considered sufficient and
that it was therefore scorned. He
was reaching into his pocket to rein
force his gratuity when someone
speaking English told him Of the
Rome rule.
Herewith he pocketed the tip and
walked out.
Large posters have been placed in
the restaurants and tea-rooms here
announcing the action of the walters.
On the whole, the practice seems to
have satisfied the patrons, who feel
that they have, at last, been spared
the annoyance of the inevitably dis
gruntled waiter.
