- ISARMAMENT, that dream of paci-
fists for ages. which has often been
- discussed but never undertaken
seriously by any of the great nations of the
world, has now become the unfinished bust
ness" of the council and assembly of the
League of Nations in session at Geneva.
From present indications it will remain "un-
finished" indefinitely.
At a time in the worlds history when
every one of the dominant nations is spend
ing and planning to spend more money than
ever before for the maintenance of peace
time armies and navies, for fighting men
and fighting machines in the air, on the
earth, on the water and under the water, the
league council has appointed commission
to formulate plans for the reduction of all
armies and navies. 1t is bold and many
students of history believe a useless at
tempt.
The United States, although not MEM
Der of the league. has been invited to 'st
in" on the discussions of this commission
in Consultative" capacity. AS disarma-
ment is one Of the chief aims of the league
lueduslS, al dCiu Jest Ol the CONeHdHt 10 dI
hand.
Article VIII. Of the covenant declares that
all of the members realize that the main
tenance of peace requires the reduction of
rn.aments to the lowest point consistent
with national safety" and authorizes the
creation of a commission to draw up plans
for such reduction for the consideration and
action of the several Governments 1t then
includes the following important provision:
after these plans have been adopted by
the several Governments the limits of arma-
ments therein fixed shall not be exceeded
without the concurrence of the council"
The United States probably never will be-
unless the covenant is materially altered.
One of the principal reasons why this coun-
try has not Joined the league is that it is
determined to preserve it's independence of
action in all vital things, especially in mat
tiers of national defence. This country has
been pioneer in the preaching of the doc
trine of disarmament as the first step in
bringing about a more peaceful condition of
affairs in this turbulent world. But until
President Wilson evolved in his fertile brain
the idea of the present league covenant
there had been no thought in this country of
any disarmament except by mutual agree
ment between nations acting individuals.

sidering the preliminary phases of the mat
ter. He was on leave of absence but all
army officers are required by the army regu-
lations to make reports to the Secretary of
War concerning any matters of Importance
to the nation which may occur under their
noses. Presumably Col Churchill knew what
was going on in Geneva when he went there
II was while he was there that the council
of the league courteously voted to invite
the United States to send representative to
sit on the leagues permanent military, naval
and aerial commission, which Is to have
charge of the disarmament matter, regard
less of the fact that this country is not
member of the league and bids fair to stay
out of II indefinitely
There IL not bit of doubt In the minds
of any of the leading men in the Senate and
House of Representatives in Washington or
OF the officials of the Wilson Cabinet and
those men who are close to President elect
Harding, that the United States will joyfully,
meet the other nations of the world more
than half way on any practical proposition
for mutual disarmament.
Col. Churchill may have a great deal TO
tell the new Administration when he comes
back to Washington as to the sincerity OF
the other great Powers in their plans of this
character. and the probable result of the
disarmament gestures of Great Britain.
France. japan and Italy.
The commission, upon which the United
States is given an opportunity to be repre-
scented, although a non-member of the
league. is provided for in the following
article of the league covenant:
article IX.--A permanent commission
shall be constituted to advise the council
on the execution of the provisions of
Articles I. and VII. and on military and
naval questions generally"

Warning by General NiveHe
About the Activity of Japan

Optmists who have been searching for
signs OF returning peace sanity In the
human race as a whole have to confess that
they arc hard pressed TO keep their faith
mistaken. The newspapers every day are
full Of accounts Of wars and rumors OF more
wars Military and scientific men in every
country are bending their efforts 10 invent
more deadly weapons Of warfare. The spirit
of quarrelsomeness is rife all over the globe

This, of course, leaves out of considera-
ton the more serious situations along the
Bolshevik- Polish frontier. where desperate
fighting is likely to break out again any
moment and is probably only prevented tenn
porarily by the severe winter weather. to
be renewed in the spring with redoubled
ferocty.
Fighting between the Poles and Lithu-
anians is on the verge of breaking out any
day. The French have their hands full in
Asia Minor, and the British their military
problems in Mesopotamia and India.
There is scarcely a nation. great or small
except those under the protecting wing of
Uncle Sam i'm the Western Hemisphere,
which is not under arms. either actually en-
gagged in fighting or expecting TO have to
fight momentarily.
There are internal troubles or threats Of
internal troubles. in many nations. In China
there is sporadic civil war: the Italians are
having their internal troubles Mexico is for
the present quiet throughout most Of ITS
area. but there is no assurance that 1t will
continue so; there is at least quiescent civil
war in Germany. Greece. Austria, Tripoli
and Morocco.
Great Britain faces her most serious in
ternal disturbance Of modern times in her
civil strife with the Irish people. Whatever
name may be applied to IT, civil war is
actually in progress in the British Empire.
Thus It will be seen that the Disarmament
Commission Of the League Of Nations has
its task cut out for IT, If it accomplishes
anything more than talk the practical world
will be much surprised-and, Of course. very
much pleased. Meantime the feeling seems
TO be growing among the diplomatic and
military students in the United States that
the present ills of the world. growing out OF
the greatest Of all wars. cannot be cured by
the panacea Of the League of Nations GER
tainly not as It Is now constituted nor any
other purely artificial machinery. but must
work themselves out to the end and grad
ually give way before a return of what some
modern psychologists have called nor
malCy.'

All About Me
By Jim Corbett, Universal Star

Though my interest right
now is in the motion pictures,

heart for the days when I was
fighting in in squared circle.
Now adays, when my name is
mentioned, a person will say:
ooh I know who you mean, Jim
Corbett the movie star" or
course that is quite a compli-
ment, but still like to be re-
membered for what did in the
ring. Those were the days
when l was struggling, and now
| like to look back at them.
But this story is not about
the ring, it is about the screen
and me. But all the same I
invite those who daily dig their
noses into the sporting pages
to read this brief outline of my
career on stage and screen.

ny other successes.

NAVY LIBRARY WORTH VISIT
Apartment in States, War and Navy
Building at Washington Should
Appeal to Tourists.

The navy library, in the state, war
and navy building, is lovely place to
soak up atmosphere. Like the build.
ing itself, it is thirty-three years old
When it was built England, France,
Spain and Italy presented the marbles
of porphyry, sienna and malachite with
which the walls are paneled. Mexico
sent the pieces of onyx which encrust
the gallery. The round stone over the
door came from the ruins of POmpeii.
The cOnnoisseur in marble who visits
Washington will enjoy call here.
III the center of the large room, lined
with shelves of weighty tones on ma.
val matters, there is large and i'm
portant green-topped table. Around
this table sat the strategic board OF
the Spanish-Amerlcan war. Here also
the naval advisory board for the great
war made their secret plans and ex-
periments. Edison, Maxim, Miller and
many others conferred over it, with
the windows carefully darkened and a
guard before the door.
There Is quaint side to the library,
too. A little white-haired lady can be
seen any time, fitting about the
shelves of dark, heavy books, or cut
ting and passing busily in her corner
by the window. This is Miss Mason.
daughter of a former secretary of the
navy. She has been in the library
90 years. If you happen in near noon
she may give you cup of tea on one
corner of her desk.
And Of all charming places to have
an unexpected cup of tea, with a
sweet little hdy, this quiet nook
49, hooks is recommended.
