United States Is Expected to Outline
Proposals for Armament Conference

10 Washington convinced by what they nave
heard that the people Of the United States want
the minimum Of armament. regardless OF "nat
other nations are willing to consent TO IN the
way of Limitation?
1t is pointed out that the only organized
propa eanda in the United States which has made
itself felt is in behalf of vast measure OF
limitation disarmament" in fact. preferably
the world over. The other side of the question
has no means of expression. save and beyond
the official utterances Of President Harding ana
Secretary Hughes that disarmament is
chimera.
The point is, will the foreigners think that
the official opinion has a backing among the
people, or is the utterance Of the other SIDE tne
real voice?
When the delegates assemble they Will soon
find the American delegation to be unit IN
support of the stand taken by President Hard
ing and Secretary Of State Hughes Then they
will look about them and find present IN WASH
Ineton an aggressive. organized movement IN
sisting upon going further than oncial con-
viction deems possible. Omcfals OF the
government profoundly hope that the practcai
results which they think are possible as an out
come of the conference will not be nullined oy
the expressions of those who hope for more
than the officials know can be obtained
Reports from abroad are that the impress
sion prevails in England and France that the
conference will be a long ng-drawn-out affair. The
same belief Is held in some important quarters
here The date for the meeting draws rapidly
nearer, now only three weeks away, and some
of the questions relating to the Pacific and the
far east which 1t had been hoped would be set
tied in advance are still In deadlock. The work
will doubtless be subdivided so that consideration
of these can go along coincidently with arrna-
ment Limitation in committees. 1t is regarded
as possible that the decisions reached in COM
mittees can be counted upon as acceptable to
the conference. that the process OF ar1rma-
tion by the main body will be simplified, but. at
best the prospect Is for tedious consideration
in the formative stage.

The administration is relieved that the Ger
man. Austrian and Hungarian peace treaties are
out of the way well in advance of the conven-
ing of the conference. The next steps In secur-
ing the effects of peace will be the exchange
of ratificxtions, the proclamation. the appoint
ment of ambassadors and resumption Of diplo-
matte relations, with the setting up of con-
sulates and all the paraphernalia Of commercial
relations. The Department of State is now at
work on these phases.

for imperial Germany before the
war, treaties are nothing but bits
Of paper. and Poland would trans
form one of the territories Of
Europe which have most speedily
progressed into q miserable field
Of ruins. and desolation. Adven-
turers such as Korfanty may
spread violence and terror under
the protection of the troops. but
they cannot work a mine or put in
motion a single one of the colos-
sal electric plants Of Upper Silesia.

If this army were to be used

be justifiable, because nobody be-
lieves in the good intentions of

any case it would be question. of

army is aimed especially against

But Poland has an army five OF
six times more numerous, and Ger
many's foes have now under arms,
collectively, more men than before

Poland represents in the most
typical manner the alteration and
degeneracy of war ideas. She is
being driven straight to ruin by
an equally intense hatred for the
two most numerous peoples of Eu-
rope, the Russian and the German.
Her only safety would lie in
loyal and friendly entente with
Germany to develop all her re-
sources, which she cannot exploit

bling piecemeal to ruin, day by
day, while dreaming dreams OF
empire. She has a population OF
whom have been unjustly assigned
to her, and she has visions and
cravings after greatness. Who can
make her aware Of her mistake. or
harness her rampant dream?
From a financial point Of view,
Poland Is practically dead. The
majority Of her citizens aim only
at becoming state employees in
order to live and batten on the
state, which has no resource left
but to print paper money. keeping
the presses going day and night.
Agricultural and mining production
is in state Of absolute decay;
. every form of activity SHOWS ind,-
cations of decline. Everywhere
money is spent more freely and
work rendered more sparInsIy.
Despite these disastrous condi-
tions, Poland is now maintaining
an army numerically equal to the
armies of Great Britain and Italy
put together.
From a numerical point Of view
the Polish army holds second place
in Europe, coming Immediately
after France. Instead of seeking
to pacify and organize the terri
tories for the most part wrongly
handed over to her by the peace
treaty, Poland obstinately asserts

When one reaches the place
where one can say-perhaps with
a little catch of the breath as
the memory of loves thrills
come back-"If love were only
all" one has reached a place where
the stream of married life flows
smoother.
But a girl does not stop to
analyze during the first years of
marriage. She only knows she
is uncomfortable and unhappy,
She unconsciously blames her
husband for not understanding

She has not yet learned that

monty known as "a run down

preston: 1T is highly esteemed
in loss of appetite during conya-
lescence from acute diseases"
There are certain other elements
in Tanlac which, because of their
influence upon the appetite. di-
gestion, assimilation and elimi-
nation, improve the nutrition and
vital activity of the tissues and
more important organs of the
body, and produce that state of
general tonicity which is called
health.
The United States Dispensa-
tory makes the following com
ment regarding another ingredi-
ent: ut may be used in all cases
of pure debility OF the digestive
organs or where a general tonic
impression is required. Dyspepsia,
atomic gout, hysteria and inter
mittent fever are among the
many affections in which it has
proven useful"
There are certain other iugre-
dients described in the Dispensa-
tory and in other standard med
zeal text books as having a bene-
ficial action upon the organs of
secretion, whose proper function
ing results in the publication of
the blood streams passing thru
them. In this manner objection
able and poisonous ingredients of
the blood are removed ana the
entire system invigorated and vi
talized.
Tanlac was designed primarily
for the correction Of disorders OF
the stomach, liver and bowels. At
the same time. however. it is
powerful rec0nstruCtive tonic and
body builder, for it naturally fol-
lows that any medicine that brines
about proper assimilation of the
food and a thorough elimination
