DEMOCRATS FIRST FOR DISARMAMENT.

We have no wish to deprive Pres
ident Harding of any credit |"
which he MAY be entitled for the
movement he has started for Il con-
ference Of !hr principal Allied ma
lions to consider the question oi
disarmament. II is however but
fair to SAY that he waited until
many had we'll nigh lost patience
and until Congress. the Press
and the people mad clearly mani
Tested Il desire that he should act
withuu; further delay.
The crcdi, for initiating the
armament. Il movement which ante
dates the Versailles Peace Confer
cncc, belongs to the Democrats.
The first disarmament resolution
WAS introduced in The House in
1916 appended to the Naval appro-
HcnSley, Ucm.) OF Missouri. and
was in part rs follows:
Upon the conclusion Of the War
III Europe, or as soon thereafter is
ii may be done. the President OF
the United States is authorized to
invite all great Governments of the
world TO send representatives 10 Il
conference. which shall be charged
with the duty of suggesting an or
raniZation. court of arbitration, or
other body, to which disputed qur>-
lions between nations shall be re-
fcrrcd for adjudication and peace
full settlement. and TO consider the
question of disarmament and sub
init their recommendations 10 their
respective Governments fOI aD-
proNal.
\ practical plan for the reduction
of armamcntS WAS incorporated in
the covenant OF the League Of Ma
lions. i'll the preparation Of which
President Wilson paid Sucn Il con.
SpicuOuS part. This the Republican
Senate in lis folly and partisan pre-
udice rejected and ever since W,

Charge By French
To Be Investigated
By German Officials

Berlin, July 19.-(By the Associat-
ed Press)-The German government
will investigate the charge Of General
Lerond, French head Of the inter-Al-
lied commission in Upper SileHa, that
the German protective organizations
in Upper Silesia still are functioning,
constituting a danger to the Allied
authority, before replying to them, it
is declared.
The verbal protest Of M. Laurent,
the French ambassador to Germany,
to DR.. Rosen, the German foreign
minister, which carried a yelled
threat of French military action
against the German organizations in
Upper Slesia, unless they are prompr-
ly dissolved and disarmed. will be
passed without notice, the belief be-
ing entertained in official and unofi-
cial circles here that the French ac-
ton vas made without the knowledge
of Frances Allies and does not meet
with the approval OF Great Britain
and Italy.
The German newspaper interprets
the communications Of Ambassador
Laurent and General Lerond to mean
that the Silesian situation again is
acute and that the Poles are prepar-
ing for another inroad against the
Germans.

Senate Subcommittee Finds
Falslt With Investigation
&C Newport.

washington, July 1s.-Former Bee
rotary Daniels and former Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt OF the navy :
denounced for the methods used In
investigating the wartime scandal
among enlisted men ct the Newport
training station in the majority re-
port OF q senate subcommittee, made
public today.
The CHARGES made by clergymen OF
Newport, r. l., and the Providence
Journal the report says, have been
proved to the satisfaction OF the COM
Iaittee, |" and both the clergy and the
journal, says the report. deserve the
thanks of the people at large"
Issued Statement.
AT the same time today Mr.. Roose-
welt issued q statement declaring
Senator'S Ball OF Delaware and Keyes
of New Hampshire, the two Republic
cans who constitute the majority Of
the investigating committee, had is
"a hearing after promising to do so,
which Mr.. Roosevelt contended
shows a premeditated and unfair
purpose of seeking what they mis-
takenly believe to be q partisan po-
!itical advantage"
Senator King OF Utah, the Demo-
cratic member Of the investigating
committee. will file a minority report
later.
Most OF the details Of the Newport
scandal, as it is disclosed in the in
vestigation, are OF an u~nprintable ma
ture. The crux Of the majority re-
port charges Is that with the knowl-
edge OF Mr.. Daniels and Mr.. Roosevelt,
enlisted men Of the navy were i'm
properly used as participants in inn
moral practices for the purpose Of
securing evidence on which to dismiss
offenders from the navy.
Held Responsible.
Mr.. Roosevelt, under whose office
the Investigation was conducted, was
held by the majority to be morally
responsible" for the orders. The-And-
ings of a naval court martial which
investigated the scandal are intro
duced in the record for the first time.
It held the action Of Mr.. Roosevelt
unfortunate AND i'll advised" Secre-
tary Daniels disapproved the portion
OF the findings which condemned the
methods Of investigation, and on that
point the committee report today
says:
1.-The committee agrees that Frank
lin D. Roosevelt's action was not only
unfortunate and i'll advised but
most reprehensible and Mr.. Daniels
d~isapproval Of this opinion of the
court is to be severely condemned
Not the Supervisor.
Mr.. Roosevelt, in his statement,
said that at no time was the work Of
investigation supervised by himself
personally and that when in Septem-
Der. 1919. he and the acting chief of
the bureau Of navigation were in
formed hat members Of the investi-
eating squad had used highly Inn
proper and revolving methods in get
sent out that day to stop it."
1.-THE insinuations that I must have
known, that I supervised the oper-
atoms, that I was morally respOns-
ible," said Mr.. Roosevelt's state
ment, ARE nowhere supported by the
evidence directly or indirectly"

A TRIBUTE TO A

Everybody in town was at the flu. neral" said one of the service of bur. ial for Robert Reeves. The communi. ty is poorer for his passing.
 What was the reason for the great company of friends-the spontaneous tribute to his memory? He was not an old timer, he had no prominent place in business or political life. he was just one of the folks" The Sc. cret of it all is a very simple one. He had learned in his home-a ministers manse-the principles of Him whose birthday we celebrate. but whose teachings we so often forget.
 He learned to follow the simple creed: Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart. and thy neighbor as myself"
