DISARMAMENT MOVE
Votes by 212 to Is Against Move
to Wait on Presidents Ac-
tion With Allies.

In passing the naval appropriation
bill, carrying s396,o0u,OOo. by a vote
of 212 to IS yesterday, the House at
the same time gave an emphatic deci-
sion against Il disarmament amend
ment offered by Representative Con-
molly. This provided that no part Of
the appropriation for warShip build
ing should be expended until the
President had called an International
disarmament conference.
Persisting in the efforts the friends
Of disarmament Limitation repeatedly
proposed the same amendment in vari-
Gus forms.
Efforts by Representative Byrnes of
South Carolina, democrat, to bring
out the real cause of the delay in
hearings on the Rogers disarmament
resolution before the foreign affairs
committee and to get on record the
views of the Harding administration
aroused a storm of debate.
Representative Flood, Virginia,
ranking democrat on the foreign af-
fairs committee, took exception to the
statement of Representative Mondell,
Wyoming, republican leader, that the
House was willing to trust the COM
mittee in all matters affecting foreign
policy. Mr. Flood declared the repub-
lican leadership did not trust it last
session, when it failed to permit con-
sideration of the Brooks disarm anne n [
resolution, reported out. by the com
mittee. E ~
At the end Of the discussion the
members still were unadvised as To
why the committee had delayed con-
sideratiOn of a measure which would
give the President specific authority
to call a, conference.

for their skins, writes the London

variety the flesh of squirrels and
badgers is offered. 1t seems that these
novelties are prepared for the table
with varied sauces.
The project of police is disturbed at
the idea of people eating the flesh Of
foxes and polecatS, and he has found
it necessary to issue a circular, in
which he points out that they run q
grave danger, since some of the ami
mails may have been DESTROYED by poi
son. After this, it is not expected
that there will be big trade in the

Grams of the World war. the board of

ito prove whether American Legion

The Rotary organization has in

1.-THE $4,000 American business and
professional men who form the SOU
Rotary clubs of the United States,
have started out to gather the actual
facts in their respective communities
with regard to the manner in which
the United States government is
handling the cases Of disabled ex-sol-
diers," Mr.. Perry stated in letter to
F. W. Galbraith, Jr., commander of
the Legion.
1.-THE Rotarians have been shocked
by the disclosures made by the Ameri:
can Legion regarding the circum-
stances surrounding the rehabilitation
of Uncle Sans disabled ex-service
men. Each Rotary club is appointing
a special committee to investigate
conditions in its community and re-
port to the club. Every club will then
report to the headquarters office of
Rotary in Chicago. The result will be
that from 800 communities in every
part of the United States will come
evidence of business ard professional
men to prove to the American people
whether or not the American Legion
reports are based on hysteria or upon
actual facts so revolving and heart
rending as to cause the whole Ameri-
can people to rise in their might and
do justice to the men who sacrificed
themselves for their country"

welcome the Rotary investigation.
