terprise and national prosperity, the president says. is the enormous ex- pense of rival armaments.
 .sAvoidable or extrayagant eX- Ipense of this nature" the powers are told, lis not only without eco Inomic Justification, but is a con- stant menace to the peace of the world rather than an assurance or it's preservation.
 The president emphasizes that there seems to be no ground for lhalting such expenditures unless the powers can agree upon "stalsiac- tory basis" for their limitation and in his opinion the time is now oppor- tune for them to approach the SUD- ject directly and ill conference" :" In this connection the president makes it clear that not only the question of naval ornaments should
 be considered, but that relief of ex- penditures of all other ornaments should be discussed. In addition to this. the invitation says:
 Tt may also be found advisable to formulate proposals by which. in the interest Of humanity, the use Of new agencies of warfare may be suitably controlled"
 Although none of the agencies of warfare are mentioned in the inVi- tation, il refers, of course, to the aGvisability of the nations of the world reaching an agreement to con- trol the use Of poison gases and oth- er brutal agencies developed in the great war. Whether the use of the submarine ill warfare will come under this category was not dis cussed in officials quarters, but in lhe opinion Of some of those inter ested in the outcome of the confer ence, the operations of the submarine undoubtedly will be discussed and proposals for an agreement as to the uses of this tremendously undesira Dle instrumentality in warfare may be suggested.

DEMPSEY
 TELLS OF
 AMBITIONS
Prize Fighter Enjoying Rest
 in California; Intends to
 Retire Without Losing Ti-

By CHARLES F. HUGHES
(IuternationaI News service>


 Los Angeles, Aug. 12.-Enjoying himself hugely, Jack Dempsey, cham pion heavyweight pugilist of the world, recently spent 8 season of recreation here and in the immediate vicinity. In an interview given to international News Service, the champion said:
 "I journeyed West to escape the heat and crowds of the East. like the mountains, also the sea, and do not know where one could get a better combination of both" If Dempsey's identity were con cealed and he should be thrown in a gathering of society leaders of any community it is probable that not one out of hundred persons would consider that he makes his living in prize ring. At least that is the opinion of quite d few of Dempseys California admirers.
 Dempsey has q few pet ambi- tions." SIS lie terms them.
 
 10 be as happy as money and his devotion can make her. Second, he wants to be champion as long as he feels his physical con dition and skill entitle him to that honor
 Third, he wants to retire unde- feated.
 Fourth, he wants eventually to settle down to business career where he "can he of useful service to mankind and reach out a help ing hand to struggling young fel- lows"
 The champion emphasized that he wants to give the public the greatest consideration at all times and will fight any worthy aspirant, except eolored man, and will fight just as often as the public demands
 T am not going to balk at meet ing anyone Jack Kearns may choose for me to fight" said Dempsey "Kearns won't send me against black man. And Kearns is not going to send me against some fel- low who would not give me a good battle. The public won't stand for matches with straw men
 Judging from the present out look I expect to be champion for years. Bat l am going to give the rising generation of boxers plenty of opportunities at the title. If any of them can beat me, well and good. But, believe me, if right liv- ing and honest desire to be in fine condition at all times have any thing to do with it, l am going to keep the old crown on my head for many day.
 If the public should insist would be willing 10 meet Carpenter again. But l do not feel it would be a good match from boX-office standpoint. l regard Carpenter as a fine fellow, good boxer and a game fighter. But down in his heart l believe he feels he could never beat me. Tn my own heart

RIGHT TO LOVE
 CARRIES THE
 RIGHT TO JILI
Question Raised by London Newspapers Following Statement Of Judge in Breach of Promise Case.
By NEWTON c. PARkE (iuterparjonaJ News CerVIcep

l lnternationaI News oervicel London, Aug. 12.----fias man the right to jilt girl whom he is en- gagged to marry?
 The question has been raised l by London newspapers following q 1 statement made by Justice McCofdie in breach of promise case at Birmingham.
 Tt is my conclusion" said the 1 justice, that more than half the divorcees. are caused because the parties were not really in love. In
 many cases they discovered that fact before the marriage took place. 4 girl has right to jilt man but q man often goes ahead with the marriage. fearing breach of promise proceedings.
 Tine Marchioness Townshend said she thought any honest man would | tell his fiancee that lie had ceased to love her, regardless of the risk
 of breach of promise sui,.
 '"rhe remarkable thing is that so many girls fail to realize that the men to whom they are engaged no l longer love them,>t sine added. Miss Genevieve Ward. English
 actress. said that all engaged girl should be glad to get rid of man who has transferred his affections to another without thinking of 1,ro,ch oc ,1ron,ica guite
 1 The Daily Mail, canvassing num- her of practical business girls, re- ports that they prefer to have their 1 fiances tell them the truth before the trip to the altar. They are generally opposed to breach of prom 1 ise actions, but believe that a girl who has spent a lot of money for a wedding outfit should be reim- bursed by jilting fiance.
 ''The right 10 love carries with it the right to jilt," announces one writer. 'If man or woman finds that the early attraction is passing it is therefore their bounden duty to break off The day may arrive when damages will be awarded, not for correcting a very human mis- take on the threshold of disast CT bur for failing to correct it. There
 ought to be way of avoiding these disasters without undue penalty.
 For there is nothing quite so hope less as a loyeieSs marriage"
 A well-known English judge, writ ing in the Evening Standard, upholds mans right to jilt
 Where a man has seduced a girl then an action is very proper thine." writes this judge. 'But that a man can be sued merely be-
 cause, having genuinely fallen in l love he genuinely falls out again, is ridiculous. In the absence of more serious features, woman should not be able to get damages merely because man changes his mind.
 q have known cases where the suing of the writ when the fiance has said: I would rather marry you than face courts like this, Yes, and I have known cases where the girl has accepted the offer. 4 good start for connubial bliss!
 'I do not want to convey the inn pression, however, that there are not thoroughly serious and justified cases. In addition to the class to which 1 have referred there is that in which q man heartlessly keeps the girl hanging about for years ten, fifteen, or maybe more-until she loses chance of marrying anyone else When man behaves as badly as that it is clearly right that he
 should have to make compensation "
