BRIEFLY TOLD STORY
OF ARMS CONFERENCE

given to Japan. Representatives.
of the United States and Great
Britain sit with the negotiators
of. the two far eastern powers,
but merely as observers.
Developments from the beginninj
Of the conferepce up to today ar,
briefly as follows:
The Washington conference. UP
to date. has considered q proposal
of Secretary Of State Hughes for
, limitation Of naval armament by
the United States, Japan and Great
Britain. which calls for ten-year
naval building holiday and would
fix the ratio of the three navies at
$3.50. the "3" representing Japan's
naval strength.
The Japanese have suggested
the ratio be fixed at 10-10-7. The
conference is now awaiting word
from the Toxic government be-
fore proceeding further with re-
gard to naval armament.
Proposals for an agreement on
the far east by the United States,
Great Britain, Japan and possibly
France, have been cabled to Lon
don and Toxic and are being con-
sidered by the American delegates
to the conference.
The conference has adopted the
so-ealled Root principles with re-
aufa to the attitude of the pow
ers toward China, four in number,
afirnning their intention to deal
fairly by China.
The conference has practically
shelved the question Of limitation
of land armament because Of the
stand taken by Premier BRAND of
France that his country cannot at
this time make any great reduc-
ton in its armies, due to the
German and Russian menace.
Japanese and Chinese delegates
are meeting in the presence Of
representatives of the United
States and Great Britain ON the
question of Shantung, which the
Japanese occupy in part, having

W0ULDPUT STATUE
ON ORIGINAL SITE
Plea by S. A. R. for Return
of Lincoln Memorial to
Courthouse Square.

Restoration of the Lincoln statue,
which was removed from the court
house square several years ago. was
urged today by a committee repre-
senting the Sons of the American
Revolution, who conferred with Rep
resedstive Edward King of Illinois,
father of the measure before the
House to put this statue back on its
orieinA site.
The committee consisted of Admi-
raj George w. Baird, who personally
contributed for the erection of the
statue: Rev. William Curtis White,
representing the first Episcopal par
ish of the District: Fred owen, fo-
forty-four years connected with the
office of public buildings and grounds
bin Washington: David Lynn and
Charles z. Fairman. architects.
Guarantee Of Expense.
The committee stated that descend
ants of the original contributors
TO the Lincoln statue fund stood
ready to meet the expenses for a
new pedestal and re-erection of the
memorial through private subscrip-
tions.
They also urged that Elliott Woods,
architect Of the Capitol. be appointed
chairman of a commission to draw up
nIans for new base for the statue
and estimate the cost of replacing it,
Mr. Woods had charge of remodelins
the courthouse, and it was in process
of this work that the Lincoln statue
was removed.
Mr.. Fairman. who is in charge OF
the art work in the Capitol, speaking
painst the removal of the old statue,
quotes from Proverbs in saying, Re
move not the ancient landmark which
our fathers have set" Mr.. Fairman
said. give hundred members of the
sons of the American Revolution liv-
ing in the District desire the statue
re-erected as an act OF simple Justice
II is as important to preserve the art
of 1865 as it is to preserve the art OF
1921
Views of Admiral Baird.
Admiral Baird pointed out that
the Lincoln statue belonged to the
people of Washington. I and my
folks contributed to it's erection and
have an equity in it today. To allow
its desecration sets a precedent for
the removal of landmarks and
s.atues rich in sentiment, throughout
the entire country. Congress should
a, ,otect the inherent rights of the
~, ,nmonwealth in all matters of SEN
tnuental value.
Rapresentative King said he expects
b;s iii for the restoration of the
srat,Se to come to vote in the House

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Raising the
pay of members of the house from $500
to $4,000 a year, but imposing a system
Of penalties ranging from $500 to SO for
every day absent during session, is pro-
posed by Representative Kissel of New
York in bill introduced yesterday. lie
asks that the house decree that unless a
member is given unanimous consent to be
absent he shall receive no pay for any
week during which he fails to attend every
session.
In the event a member fails to answer
80 roll calls in any one session Mr.. kissel
would authorize the speaker to declare his
seat vacant. He also would insure the
attendance of every member at the open
ing and closing of each days session by
having the roll called before converting
and before adjourning.
The bill provides that member would
have deducted from his pay $500 for each
day absent during a J0-day session, $3.50
for each day in To-day session. and $40
for each day absent during a 200-day ses-
sion To insure the fines being paid Rep
resentative Kissel would allow the con
/ gressmen only 500 a month. At the end
of the year they would get the balance
less the deductions for being absent.
! The house has been much troubled lately

Yesterday it was forced to give up after
a long delay. during which clerks tried

High Cost of Living
Coming Down

One of the most prominent commodi-
ties in the high cost of living, that is
lower in price is that of food, which IS a
blessing to the majority of people, as
they viii soon be able to afford better
meals, but what good is a fine meal if
you suffer from Indigestion and stomach
troubles You can easily be relieved of
these disorders and keep your stomach
and digestive organs healthy by taking
SEVEN BARKS, natures remedy OF
roots and herbs.
The stomach is where digestion begins,
but the most important work IS done by
the bowels, liver and kidneys-failure of
these to act efficiently allows the whole
body to be poisoned and if neglected will
lead to serious trouble. But if yOH will
take from 10 to % drops of SEVEN
BARKS in a little water after meals, you
can eat and enjoy your favorite food with
out fear of serious results.
Stomach disorders if neglected lead to
kidney and bladder troubles, if you are
compelled to arise from your slumber
once or twice during the night, have dark
rings around the eyes, feet or legs swell,
palpitatiOn of the heart, it proves your
kidneys are affected. SEVEN BARkS
will relieve you and keep you well. Ask
your druggist for it. Price 60 cents
