GIVES CANCER MORTALITY.
DR.. Wood Shows Rise in Death Rate as
Age Advances.

NEW YORK, Nov, Figures show
ing the spread of cancer were offered
Yesterday BY DIR. Francis Carter Wood,
director of the Columbia University Insti-
tute of Cancer Research, in an address
at the university as one of the speakers
of national cancer week.
For example, he said, between the
ages of - and 10 years, only about one
person in 100000 dies of cancer, between
20 and 24, only about one person in ZOO
coo, between the ages of % and 81 one
man in 10000 and one woman in 1000
dies of the disease, and so, the rate rising
until between the ages Of 90 and % one
man in 200 and one woman In 100 dies OF
the disease. Thus, after the age of 40
cancer becomes in women the most impor-
tant cause of death, while in men it is
second only to the diseases which are
grouped together as chronic heart dis
ease.
'People do not come to a surgeon
early enough. not only because they are
ignorant of the symptoms of cancer, but
occasionally also because they have lis
tened to quacks and so spent time taking
GERS treated with pastes to drive them
medicines or Serums or having their can
out. and have lost valuable days or
weeks"

INTERNATIONAL
COURT
Americans Decide On Program for Con-
ference On Limitation of
ArnaTnentS

WASHINGTON, Nov. AT their
most important session thus far the
American delegates to the conference on
limitation of ornaments reached a deci-
sion yesterday on the main objective or
the United States government.
While nothing was made public ofti-
cially, it was learned that the idea OF a
voluntary association of nations, with an
international court of justice, would be
proposed as the basic principle of the re
lationShip among nations, through when
an international understanding might be
reached that would make possible a re
-duction of expenditures for armies and
navies.
The plan is the antithesis of the league
of nations covenant evolved at the Pans
conference. No super-gOvernment would
he created. and force would not be the
underlying principle of the new associa-
ton. 1t would not have a central coun-
ell with international officers, but would
rest upon regularly negotiated treaties
among the nations.
No compulsory features are to be sug-
gested. The decisions of the world court,
as it Will be proposed, would be carried
out only as the result of the force OF pub
lie opinion.
At the same time the American dele
gates reached a tentative decision on a
plan for the limitation of ornaments,
based upon the principle of percentage
reduction OF expenditures lot dIIuIco anu
navies,. as compared with expenditures
for other governmental activities.
The definite detectives of the confer
ence. it is realized, will have to be OBJ
tanned before the more far-reachinS re-
suits can be considered. 1t will be nee
essary to consider and determine how the
nations shall adjust themselves to the
Far Eastern problem.
1t will be necessary to reach an agree
ment on the open door policy IN the Far
East and everywhere which the United
States is advocating. 1t will be necessary
to pass Judgment upon China and deter
mine the attitude the Occidental nations
shall assume to that great portion OF the
worlds population and to the aggressive
tendencies of Japan. =,
Another definite agreement which vail
have to be reached viii be choice OF posi-
tions Great Britain will take whether
it shall renew the Anglo-Japanese al
lance or whether it shall elect to assist
in reaching a working agreement among
the English speaking nations OF the
world.
The most persistent plan is that ma
tions be limited to spending Tor an army
and a navy a sum within Il specified per
centage of the total national eXpendI-
lures. That is, the nations would be
forbidden under the agreement from
spending more than any set portion OF
their national budgets for this purpose.
The sums might be for example, IL
per cent of the total national outlay or
may be even IT. per cent. But they could
spent it in any way they might see mt,
for army or navy.

DENY wATsON's CHARGES.
High Army Officials Say No Soldiers
Were Hanged Without Trial.

WASHINGION, Nov. 2-High officers
Of the army who served in France last
night resented the charges made on the
floor of the senate yesterday by Senator
Watson of Georgia, and vigorously de-
MED his allegation that Il white Ameri-

without trial or due process of law.
They denied that any American soldier
had been hanged in France without trial,
denied that any American soldier had
been hanged for any military offense
whatever, and stated that the few
American soldiers that were hanged
were hanged for non-military offenses.

night that so far as the War Depart-
ment is aware only 10 American sol
dlers were executed in France by hang

by the farmers and others who were not

WASHINGTON, Nov. >. Approx
mately one in each 80 adult residents of

AT the time of the armistice the ratio
was one adult in every II. The change
in the ratio represents the extent TO

means a saving to the public totalling

At the time of the armistice more than
100000 persons were receiving regular

Approximately 100000 men and
