DEPLORES ALL
 TALK OF WAR

Tokio, July 19-Ex-speaker Saburo Shimada of the House of Representa- tiVes who, because of his oratorlcaI powers, is often called by Japanese the Wendell Phillips of Japan. is contributing a series of articles to the Nichinichi Shimbun on relations with the United States in which he dep1ores and decries talk of war. Ehe distinguished parliamentarian holds that if the situation between the two countries is studied from broad sportsmanlike manner such talk will become meaningless.
 He says: Possibly there are no Japanese who seriously think that Japan is able to attack America across the Pacific as there will be no Americans who dream of an Ameri- can invasion of Japan. Some think that the immigration question will probably furnish a casus belH be- tween Japan and the United States while others are of the opinion that the scramble for rights and interests will lead the two countries to war. These questions are not of such a nature as to be solved by an appeal to arms. American misunderstood ings about Japan may be dispelled

Charges Draw
 Daniels Fire

Washington. July 1s-Charges made by the Senate Naval Affairs commit tee, which investigated the Daniels Sims controversy, that a ''self-defen- sive n-aggression and non-helpful policy was adopted by the Wilson administration in it's conduct of the navy early in the war, drew fire to- day from Josephus Daniels, former Secretary of the Navy.
 Daniels in his Raleigh newspaper. printed today a lengthy editorial at tack:ng attempts to rob the navy of it's secure place in history, at temps born of piQue or politics.
 ''The reports and statements were made before any personal disappoint- ments in the navy or desire for poll tical advantage affected the opinions of fafr-minded men in and out of the navy. They were made in the stress of war without bias or parti- sanship or prejudice. They com pletely refute the later attempts to rob the navy of it's secure place in history. attempts born of pique or politics which have sought to distort the true story of naval achievement in the most critical period of the world history

THREE-PLANE
 NAVY TO PREVAIL
on the Sea, Under the Sea and Above the Sea must Be Developed If Naval Supremacy Is To Be Maintained.

Washington: July 19-The three plane navy-the navy on the sea, be- low the surface and in the air-is go- ing to be the navy of the future.
 This is the very decided impression that remains after the first of the aerial bombing tests which the Navy is conducting off the Virginia Capes.
 Official reports on the bombing will not be completed for some time yet. These reports must be digested by the Navy General Board. When the General Board has taken the reports considered them in connection with reports of other tests and develop ments by other nations recommenda- tions will be made for the future naval policy of the United States
 Despite the fact that no official in thoughts running through the minds of the members of the General Board, it is a very safe prediction that the three-plane Navy is going to be the Navy of the future. This prediction is based on the comment of the officers of the fleet, the men who are at sea and the men who will do the fighting if war comes. Their theories are the theories which go to make up the re- ports upon which are based the final conclusions of the General Board. The Navy is not convinced that the

But while the Navy ridicules Mitchell and smiles at his statements the Navy is insisting upon a large air-force, for 1t is con- vinced that air-forces are going to be a potent factor in future naval war fare. No one in the Navy believes | that naval battles can be fought in the air alone, but neither does any one believe that surface craft can put up a good fight against an enemy, strong in the air, without a strong supporting aerial force,

Pidgeon Going to
 South Sea Isles

Los Angeles, Cal, July 19-Harry Pidgeon who single-handed sailed a 34-foot yawl from Los Angeles har- Dor to Honolulu and back last sum- mer is preparing his craft for a voyage to the South Sea Islands, B. 900 miles southwest of here He plans to set sail for the Marquesas within the next month or so.
 Pidgeon is an amateur mariner. Without previous experience, he built his boat himself He got his plan from the 25-foot yawI "'Seabird' in which Thomas Fleming Day made a trip across the Atlantic 12 years ago, but made his own boat nine feet longer.
 When he had finished his ship building last summer, he obtained a sextant and picked up a little naviga- tion- Then he set sail alone and made Honolulu in 26 days after a fairly rough trip. He also sailed the boat home, but took a shipmate along to give him a better opportunity to sleep.
 Pidseon plans to take supplies and water sufficient for two or three months,to carry him through the dol drums in the South Pacific. A sea anchor will furnish valuable part of his equipment for use in heavy weather and when he sleeps.

 General Dawes didn't wait to ask bureau chiefs about the advisabi1ity of an inventory of Government stocks stocks that must be converted into cash, as one way to cut down the tax burden.
 He shot ont an order that the thing had to be done and put a limit on the time in which the job must be accom- plished.

He put 9 crimp on that sort of waste by com pening every responsible official inn mediately to return to the general supply committee all equipment not now being used efficiently. Instead of letting lots of materials and sup plies go eventually into junk from into cash. This will be done as soon as the Government inventory is com pieted,

MEMBERSHIP OF G. A. R. IS
 NOW 93,155

Indianapolis, Ind. July 1e-When the Grand Army of the Republic holds its annual reunion this year, more than 10000 of the Civil War Veterans 1920 will be counted among the miss ing as the ranks have been depleted to this extent through the last year.
 The total membership of the G. A. R today is 93,1 while it's member hip in 1920 was 1o3, ,25S.
 The total membership is scattered among 4,454 posts in every state. Ohio, with 1O,241, has the largest membership, with Pennsylvania sec ond with 9,122; New York, third. s. 795; Illinois, fourth, 6,S6S; Indiana, fifth, 5,949; Massachusetts, sixth. 5,356. No other states have 5000 or more members.
 valued at s2,075,027, including real estate worth $S02,841.
 Members in the old confederate states total approximately 2,200.
 The G. A. R. was organized in Illinois in the spring of 1866. Who tradition rather than record, says the report made to the national encacmp- ment in 1869 by N. F. Chipman, then adjutant general of the national or ganization-
 There can be no doubt that the late Colonel B. F. Stephenson, of Decatur, H., was one of the prime movers" says Chipman'S report Be ing recognized as such, he organized the first post at Dakota, IIl.''
 By July 1866 there were 40 posts in Illinois, representatives of which met in convention and organized the state department. Stephenson was by common consent the provisional com mander-in-chief, and posts were or ganized in other states, resulting in the first national encampment belng held at Indianapolis, Nov- 20, 1866. After the Indianapolis convention, Chipman records that posts seem to have sprung up as if by magic in all parts of the North" but he adds there was no record of progress. Ten states were represented at the Inol- annapolis encampment, 21 states in 1867; A in 1868; 37 in 1869, having 2,05O posts
 At the 1869 encampment a mutual life insurance scheme was proposed, it being said then that the G. A R. lad 24O,OOO members In 1867, it has been said that the state departments s4claimed to represent a constituency of over 100000" But there is no authentic record of the number for the early years, the insurance propos- al containing an estimate, 1t IS regarded as the number of union sol diers living in the jurisdiction of the state departments represented at the convention. For instance, the adjut- ant generals report at the 1870 en- campment, when there were 39 de- partments, says it is absolutely inn possible for me to furnish anything like a correct report of the present mem mbership."
 In 1890, however, reports taken as authentic state that the membership was 4os,4ss, the highest mark record ed. From 1878 to 1890, the growth was rapid, being rom 12,00o to S5,00O annually. Since 1890. the decline has been constant, except for a 5000 gain in 1906 said to be due to prosp pects of favorable pension legislation. Sub sequent enrolment figures from the time the G. A. R. reached its zenith to the present time follow:

Berlin, July 19-"Spectacular me- thods in burglary are all right for the movies, but after this I am gO- ing to stick to the safe and sane old fashioned second-story man ruleS," sighed Max Arndt after his attempt to rob an express train by an amateur Houdini trunk act landed him in jail.
 Max and Paul Arndt, Burglars, Ltd, conceived the idea of Max per hitting himself to be locked into a good-sized wardrobe trunk, accompa- nied by a full set of burglars tools. Brother Paul then shipped Max from the Berlin railroad station to Span dau. It was agreed that during the trip Max was to step out and open the trunk, step out and rob the other trunks in the express car.

which, In war time, was where

The result Is that the beautiful

Look at that old tape measure
