SENATOR LADD'S PREDICTION
Representative Sinclair of North Da.
kota Also Cricised the Present
Monetary System.

Washington. - Failure Of present
day financial and credit systems to
meet the needs Of the people is threat
ening the destruction of the fundamen-
tai American industry, agriculture,
Senator Ladd, of North Dakota, de-
clared in opening the conference called
by him to seek legislative relief from
the situation. Senator Ladd described
his proposed federal loan bureau as
one method of relief, asserting that
through it the government would re-
sumo its proper function Of issuing
money and Of providing credit to all
the people on terms Of equality.
Estimating that loss to "all in
dustrial classes" during the last few
years Of SS billions Of dollars, with an
equal loss in purchasing power, had re-
suited from Debated value of farm pro-
ducts, he declared that this could be
traced to the "non-functioning of cap
ital' held by few great corporations.
The federal loan bureau bill pro-
posed to advance credits to farmers
on warehouse receipts, on city real es-
tate up to so per cent Of its value, on
farms to 60 per cent and farm i'm
provements to 40 per cent.
Representative James H. Sinclair, OF
North Dakota, also criticised the pres
ent monetary system, declaring the
federal reserve board was controlled
absolutely by bankers for the benefit
Of bankers"

TROUBLE BREWING
THROUGH FRANCE
HER PROPOSAL TO BUILD TEN
CAPITAL SHIPS STRIKES THE
CONFERENCE DUMB.
IN DISACCORO WITH THEORY
Strong inclination In American and
British Circles Not to Take tho
Proposition Seriously.

on.-Announcement by the
British spokesman that France has
asked before the naval subcommittee
of Is for authority in agreement with
the other four naval powers to build
ten 35,000-ton capital ships struck the
arms conference with stunning force
The proposal was wholly out Of &C
cord with theories on which the naval
confrees have proceeded up to this
time that there was a strong inclina
ton in British and American circles
not to take it seriously. The feeling
was said to rest in part on what Pre-
mier BRAND said at the second plen
ary session in regard to the American
proposals for naval limitation.
Mr.. Brands reference to "princi'
pies" was construed at the time as
acceptance for France of the four prin'
ciples laid down by Mr. Hughes in his
proposals.
Paragraph A of the four principles
stated was as follows.
"The elimination of all capital ship
building programs, either actual OF
projected"
Paragraph B reads:
"That regard should be had to the
existing naval strength Of the confer
ring powers"
In view Of these plain statements OF
the purpose Of the conference, and ap'
parent French agreement in those pur'
poses. officials Of delegations other
than the French have been wholly at
loss to account for Frances desire now
to add ten 35,000-ton "postJutland
ships to her navy by 1885.
The proposal was believed in some
quarters to be trading proposition
to accomplish some other purpose not
clearly discernable except to the
French.

MONEY VOTED FOR
RUSSIAN RELIEF
BILL PASSED AUTHORIZING AN
EXPENDITURE OF TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS.
TWO SOLID HOURS OF DEBATE
Opponents of Measure Claim That
CONDITIONS of Distress Also Pre-
vail In This Country.

Washington.-A bill authorizing the
President to expend s20,OO0,0OO out OF
the funds of the United States Grain
corporation for relief of the distressed
and starving people Of Russia was
passed by the house, ia to 81.
Opponents of the measure fought 1t
to the last and, forced roll call on
the ground that the vote as announced
did not include quorum Of the house
The roll call resulted 1S1 to. II and
the bill now goes to the senate.
In wrangling over the measure the
house attempted to chop it to pieces
with amendments. The first actual
test was an amendment by Represen-
tative Bankhead (democrat) OF Ala
bama to reduce the amount from $20,'
600, 900 to S10,OOO,0O0, which was de-
feated 7S to 60.
There had been two solid hours Of
debate, during WHICH food of elo-
quence was let loose on the arguments
that the starving Russian children,
regardless of the bolshevik ruin that
had brought about their distress,
should have their cry for bread
silenced with American food, when a
new fight was started over proposals
to tear the bill to pieces.
Protesting against the use Of funds
for the people of any foreign nation,
Chairman Madden Of the appropria-
tions committee declared it was not
easy to vote a tax on the backs Of the
American people and cry at the same
time for economy.
There are conditions Of distress in
this country which would appall con-
gress IL I dared relate them," Mr..
Madden shouted, adding that informa-
ton to this effect had been laid before
him confdentially.
"But cannot see my way clear to
vote money out Of the treasury" said
the chairman, when 1t Is not to be
used to relieve the distress Of the
people we were sent here to serve
When the time came to receive
amendments, more than a score OF
members, jumping to their feet, de-
manded recognition. In the midst OF
the food of them, Representative
Good;koontz republican, Of West Vir-
ginia stepped forward with a new
proposal which would direct the
President to spend $40. 100000 for re-
lieving distress among the Starving
hungry and unemployed citizens Of
the United States" 1t was howled out
on a point Of order, but the West Vir-
ginia republican stood his ground
my amendment may not come with
in the tales of the house." Mr.. Goody-
koontz declared above the din, "but 1t
at least has the merit Of coming with
in the constitution Of the United
States"

.DEsERTERS MUST NOT ESCAPE
Report Shows That Reported Deser'
tions From Regular Army In tls-
cal Year Totalied 1858.

Washington. - Energetic pursuit
and punishment of the more than 1OO'-
900 men who evaded the draft during
the world war Is urgently recommend
ed by Major General Harris, adjutant
general Of the army, in his report
made public by the secretary OF war.
To bring those guilty to trial, he rec
ommends that congress appropriate
$3.50, 900 to pay rewards OF 500 Tor
each draft deserter delivered to the
military authorities.
at is imperative" he declares, that
the government exhibit the greatest
possible energy in pursuing these men
and in Furnishing all who are found
guilty. If the government permit these
desers to escape the punishment pro-
vided for their offense, consequences
of the gravest import will certainly
ensue.
"Inaction Of this sort would tend to
set a premium on evasion Of military
service with the inevitable result that,
should another national emergency
arise and another selective draft be
put in operation, the number OF men
attempting to evade the performance
of military duty will mount to a figure
so large as to emperil the nation
through interfering very seriously
with the rapid building up Of an emer-
gency army"
General Harris says the publication
of the Stacker lists" by the newspa-
pers proved highly useful for the
purpose of Strengthening out the rec
ords Of a number of non-willful de-
serters whose names were included
therein, despite all the care and effort
expended in an attempt to include
none but those of willful deserters."
He shows that less than one-half OF
one per cent of the names published
have been found to be those OF non
willful deserters and says these have
been removed from the lists.
General Harris report shows that
reported desertions from the regular
army in the fiscal year ended last
June 30, totalled 1853, or 4.57 per
cent, the largest percentage since 1909,
and nearly four times as great as that
in the preceding fiscal year. He says
the marked increase probably can be
accounted for "by the fact that the
vast majority Of the deserters were
new recruits who found the army dis
cipline more irksome than they had
anticipated"

leads to two thoughts.
When first I met you and came to
admire you as fighters, cheerful, sub

leader, General Pershing, the days
were dark indeed Yet you smiled
then as you fought and your cheer
fulness and bravery helped much to
bring us victory and peace.
when next l met you, 1t was in
your country. The alarms OF war
were over. You were engaged ac-
lively in those pursuits Of peace
which the so essential to happiness
and prosperity-hard work. I have
come to love all Americans for their
spirit of diligence, for their generous
