Mail Trains Carry Marines as
Guards.

Marines guarded Milwaukee road
trains, Nos. 81 and So, which passed
through Milwaukee westbound at
10:45 and 1925 p. M, Thursday.
This is in accordance with the order
of Postmaster General Hays that ma
rines be used to guard mail in trans
it as the result Of robberies
Each truck carrying mail to and
from these trains carried two armed
guards. The driver was armed also.
While the drivers have been armed
for several months, this is believed to
be the first time that guards have
been. carried. The men were local
postofice employees.
Eventually, it is believed, marines
will be used to guard the trucks, and
also will be stationed at the post
Office. David Evans, chief clerk Of
the railway mail service office in Mil
waukee, will attend a conference
Monday in St. Paul, at which chief
clerks from middle west will discuss
methods of using the marines to
guard the mails at post offices and on
trucks and trains.

BRITISH PREMIER
CABLES APPROVAL
Lloyd George O. KS Hughes Plan
for Farley Program.
BALF0UR ACCEPTS PROPOSAL
out Puts Great Stress on Allowing So
"any ubmarines-Declares Some
Provision Must Be Made to
Keep Experts at Work.

+ washington, Nov. 15-In his big
speech on limitation of armament Mr..
bal1our not only accepted what Mr..
hughes proposed, but went still fur
thef He put great stress On the un-
wisdom of allowing as many sub
marines 10 the naval powers as Mr..
Hughes allowed, and suggested in that
direction lies a chance for drastic fur
Their reduction.
David Lloyd George cabled to Mr..
Balfour his specific approval of the
American proposal as outlined by Sec
rotary of State Hughes.
MIR. Baafour does not write his
speeches. Just as he always has done
III the house of commons, so here he
let the exact words take care Of them
selves.
Must Keep Men at Work
1t is now definitely announced that
the British argument, as expounded by
Mr.. Balfour, holds that, while the ma
val policy is heartily accepted, the
method of replacement should be so
changed as to keep plants and expert
Workmen employed. One high official
put it thus:
What would happen if newspapers
suddenly decided that no linotypes
were to be constructed for ten years ?
Would not the makers of these ma
chimes be forced to go into other lines
of industry, and would they not be re-
luctant to return and perhaps, if they
did return, be less efficient?"
The question of control also was
raised by the British experts. Under
the Hughes plan ships lost by "act of
God' or accident may be replaced, but
it is deemed necessary to devise safe
guards in this connection. 1t should
not be possible for any naval authority
10 'encourage" accidental destruction
of it's units in order to replace, them
with ships embodying new ideas.
Australia Is PerpIexed.
In the British view the size of the
French navy is vital factor of STRAIT
egg in European waters, and Lord Lee
of Fareham, the first lord of the adj
miralty, urges the determination at the
earliest possible moment of the
strength Of the French navy.
No resentment is felt at British
headquarters here at the proposed
elimination of specifically named CAPT
tai ships from the grand fleet. Austria
liza, however, regards with mixed feel
tngs plan which would deprive her
of one of her only two first line battle
ships, and may be expected to fight for
the retention of her existing Pacific
strength.

SKEPTICISM IN GERMANY
Disarmament Program Surprises Ber-
lin, but They Are "From
Missouri" Say Officials.

Berlin, Nov. 15.-Germany's skepti-
cism regarding world disarmament is
as yet mistaken by the Hughes plan.
The Washington proposals are both
the sensation and the feature of the
entire German press. The far-reach-
ing nature and the worked out details
surprised all Germany.
Completely disarmed herself, and
now often the victim of brow-beating
and bullying of other military powers,
Germany welcomes even partial dis
armament by others.
This by no means, however, lessons
the skepticism as to President Harding
and Secretary Hughes being able to
force the American plans through. In
government circles as well as in the
former arn.y and navy, the expression
of leading men is something equivalent
to:
