FARMERS TO PETITION

Word from the Farm Bureau Of
flee states that they have received
petitions for Disarmament. Each
Farm Bureau Co-operator will be
supplied with petition and will So
licit the people in his school district.
The petition will be sent to Presi-
dent Harding and will be the senti-
ment of the middle west farmers re-
garding disarmament.
A review of our national debt will
prove TO the public the necessity OF
disarmament. In 1921 our national
budget is approximately $4,000, 000,-
600, of which over 80 per cent is for
past or future wars. The combined
appropriations for army and navy
have grown from 1915, 100000 in
1914 to 73S,000,000 in 1921. For
1922 further increases are propos-
ed. The drain upon the resources
of the nation, coming as it does
three years after the war, is an
alarming and disheartening thing.
1t holds back the restoration of nor
NAL conditions, which is convincing
proof OF the absolute necessity of
disarmament.
In times past our battleships
ranged the seas alone. Then came
destroyers and submarines to ac-
company them. Now, comes await
ors with areial fleets to attack or
guard the ships. We all know that
the inventive genius of mankind is
strained to the utmost in national
competition TO excel in laboratory
secrets in order that disease and
torture may march side by side in
millions of fighting men. Exhaust
ed and depleted. the world cannot
sustain policy Of competitive arm
aments.

Naual Committee
 of French Senate
 Wants Submarines
By Associated I rcss

Paris, November 1.-The naval committee of the Senate passed a res- olution today advocating an increase in the number of submarines suffi- cient to insure the security of Frances coast line. The adoption of the resolution followed a long debate which was precipitated largely by Mir Balfour's advocacy at Washing ton of a further reduction of the 90.- 900 tons permitted under the plan of Mir Hughes.
 Vicompte De Kerguezec, the chair man, urged an amendment favoring the construction of 24 additional sub marines, but the members of the committee advocated a more general decision, leaving the actual number to be built to later discussion.
 The Hughes plan Is heartily in- dorsed. but in French naval circles it Is declared that France needs a powerful submarine fleet and max mum of 90,000 does not seem excess sive for nations weak in other branches of naval defense.
 The French press also lays stress on the necessity of France main talning an adequate submarine force, and the Journal Des Debats says that while Premier Briand has not yet judged it opportune to reply to MT. Balfour on this point, 1t is hoped in France that he will do so without great delay. The paper says that the fact that Germany made abusive use of submarines does not imply that submarines cannot be utilized in con formity with the laws of war and humanity.

CHINA OFFERS ID
 MAKE PUBLIC HER
 SECRET TREATIES
Nation Wants to Determine Scope and Validity of Her Commitments - Would
 Expose Diplomacy
B. Associated Press

Washington, November 17.-Chi- mas proposal that all her commit ments with other nations, and even individuals, be made public for de- termination of their scope and valid ity, threatens to open a pandora's box with countless contributions to the exposure of secret diplomacy. One view point is that China's en- agreements are in such a muddle that it would be extremely difficult to make a complete statement.
 One explanation of the difficulty is that the foreign offices of various countries have not published in full the correspondence between them selves and their diplomatic represen- tatives abroad. While bolshevik pub- , lication of secret documents arranged by the. old Russian government Helped diplomacy, 1t is said, not enough has been done in that respect to make 1t possible to obtain an exact idea of Chinas eontractual obligations.
 Some agreements are said to be known only to the parties signing them or to their allies. It is said that in some cases China has committed herself in writing or in informal con- versations which never have been re- corded. They sometimes have been made public when a party claiming a privileged interest thought the time was favorable. It IS well recognized in diplomatic circles that the Chinese state has often been pound by Chi nese officials who have acted purely on their own initiative.
 Another element recognized by diplomats as contradicting the situa- tion Is the relation os the most fa- vored nation treatment to China, which now finds herself so surround ed and hedged in by commitments

When Taken With Iron in Convenient Tablet Form.

Everyone is now familiar with the splendid results brought about by yeast in treating such skin troubles as pimples, boils. black-heads. etc.
 But there were thousands of peo- pie who couldn't eat common baking yeast due to It's disagreeable taste. So it remained to certain prominent scientists to find a way in which yeast could be taken in pleasant and convenient tablet form. The result of their research Is Ironized Yeast. which Is now the approved vitamlne tonic treatment.
 People everywhere arc now taking Ironized Yeast and the results re- ported are almost unbelievable Not only is Ironized Yeast fine for clear ing up the complexion it brings equally remarkable results in treat ing thinness, low vitality. nervous ness, weakness, poor appetite and other symptoms of rundown condi- ton. Even after the first few days people say they notice decidedly ben eficial effects from Ironized Yeast.

ANT[BEER BILL
 COMES UP TODAY
Indication is That Few Votes Will be Recorded Against
By Associated Press

Washington. November i7-The
 anti-beer bill will come before Athe
 Senate tomorrow on the question of
 mises between the two houses. The
 conference report has been accepted
 by the House. and there was every
 indication tonight that fewer than
 q dozen votes would be recorded against final passage In the Senate, although a desperate fight has been waged for several months against the bIli.
 The proximity of the vote, which
 was agreed upon for tomorrow by
 unanimous consent last month, was
 apparent when the subject of beer bubbled forth in the discussion in the
 Ford Newberry contest.
 Senator Stanley. democrat. Ken lucky one of the leaders in the fight against the bill, launched an
 attack and asserted that the Senate
 was attempting to organize itself into pharmaceutical association with only doctor in it's membership, Tomorrow's session will begin an hour earlier than the usual noon
 meeting under the agreement which calls for the vote to be taken at F
 o'clock. Some Senate leaders pro- posed tonight that after the beer bill was disposed of the Senate should adjourn until Monday, but no under standing was reached.
 The anti-beer bill was designed to
 block the leak in the prohibition dyke disclosed by the ruling of for
 mer Attorney General Palmer, that,
 under the Volstead act, the govern ment was without authority to limit
 medical prescription of beer and | light wines.

NEWbERRY MATTER
 GIVEN HEARING
Pomerene Says Republicans Do Not Want to Hear
 Truth
By Associated Press

Washington, November 17.--The democratic attack on the proposal to declare Truman H. Newberry the duly contest launched by Henry Ford, his opponent in the 1918 election, was opened in the Senate today by sena- tor Pomerene of Ohio. ranking dem ocrat on the privilege and elections committee. In a four-hour speech the Ohio senator assailed republican methods and republican senators. de- claring they planned to deny the Ford claims by political rather than judi cial decision.
 MT. Pomerene did not complete his speech. giving way to other senators who wanted to discuss the anti-beer bill, which is to come up for a vote tomorrow. It is uncertain tonight when he would conclude his speech.
 The Ohio senator at times called att tention to the many empty seats on the republican side. adding once that T guess the republican senators do not care to be told the truth" The privileges and elections committee. he declared. had blocked every effort he had made to have MT. Newberry himself come before it.
 You would not have had to ask me to come before the committee if was testing the case" MT, Pomerene shouted. Y would have broken into that committee with q sledge hammer if could not have gotten in any other way"
 He also discussed the testimony of witnesses before the committee in an attempt to show that they had not told the whole story and that the committees had reported the resolu- ton to deny the Ford claims without gathering all the evidence available. The heated contests of yesterday were evident throughout today. Chairman Spencer of the privileges and elections committee interrupted many times to demand exvplanAtfor of statements made by the Ohio sem ator, and these interruptions usually led to acrimonious exchanges in which several senators participated.

WAR IMPOSSIBLE F J. 5. PROPOSAL
 ADOPTED AT MEET
Japan Could Not Send Fleet to United States Nor Could This Country Attack
 the Japanese
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-Herald,
 800 Davidson Building

Washington, November 17.-(Spe- cial.)- If the American proposal re- garding dismantling of the navies O: the world is adopted, war between the United States and Japan VIII De impossible.
 A member of the Ar erican delega- ton cited this fact today as an Illus tration of the offensive ineffective ness of defensive" naVies. He point ed out that Japan could not send its fleet to the United States because the fleet of the United States would be stronger; and the United States could not send it's fleet to Japan unless il concluded to leave its extensive coasts unprotected.
 And Great Britain, on account O. it's extensive dominion, could no, send it's fleet anywhere without un- covering some of it's important ter ritory to possible attack.
 sPoiiticar" Satisfaction
 While politics have been adjourned in connection with the conference there Is noticeable ''political' satis- faction on the part of republicans in Congress because of the promised success of the conference.
 And democrats have already taken steps to prove, if 1t be necessary. that not only are they responsible for the conference, but that their sugges- ton of a naval recess on the part ot the United States, pending the out come of the conference was defeated by massed republican votes In tn Senate.
 May 27 when the Senate was con sidering the naval bill. with it's un- precedented programme, Senator Pomerene asked for a suspension of the rules to the end that his resolu- ton declaring a naval recess for six months might be put to immediate vote. It was supported by every democrat and several of the pro gressive republicans. It was opposed and defeated by the administration republican forces.
 Reprinted in Record
 The Congressional Record of Marc1 27, bearing on this controversy and vote, has, on motion of Senator liar rison of Mississippi, been reprinted in the Record.
 There will be formal reference in the Record within a short while to the manner in which the Borah reso :. lution converting the conference was put across. T. 2 resolution, fy ad fninislldtioH fePuplicdHs, was ueicaes . ed in committee. When 1t was brought to the floor, democrats rallied to the support of the progress sives, and the President. apprised of It's pending success, withdrew objeo- tions which he had formerly ex- pressed to some of his leaders.
 Determined resistance on the part of democrats and 100 progressive re. publieans in the House prevented the substitution of the Porter ''apolo- getic" resolution for the direct and forecful Borah resolution.

KATO WILL ASK FOR HIGHER BATTLESH|P TONNAGE RATIO
Japan Also Wants a Type of Vessel of Defense Charac- ter Due to Geographical
 Position
By Associated Press

Washington. November IT.-Ad- miral Baron Kato. head of the Japa- nese delegation to the armament con- ference, announced today that Japan would ask modification of the Amer ican naval limitation programme which would permit Japan to main tain a general tonnage slightly greater than so per cent" of that of each of the other two powers. Japan would also ask, Baron Kato said. for'the right to maintain "a type of vessel of strictly defense character" with tonnage approximating that maintained by the other two powers.
 statement issued by Baron kato said:
 Because of her geographical posi- ton, Japan deems it only fair at tho present time that the other interested countries should agree that she should maintain a proportion in gen. eral tonnage slightly greater than 60 per cent, and, in type of vessel of strictly defensive character, she might desire even to approximate tfat of the greater navies."
 Baron Kato's statement was issued at conference with newspaper cor respondents, but he would not give details as to the notifications his delegation would submit, saying this was for the conference to discuss. It was assumed generally, however, that the slightly greater general tonnage the Japanese desired would include the battleship Mutsu, prob ably, just commissioned, and that the type of defense vessel referred to was a light cruiser suitable for polic- ing the waters of the Japanese coast
 The Mutsu is of some 3S,000 tons. armed with 16-inch rifles. She Is comparable to the American Mary land class and according to Secretary Hughes proposal each nation would retain but one ship of this class. The British has no battleship, of this type.
