foated calmly by with a solitary
mackerel-duck as passenger. The
sun rose higher and higher. and
the southwest wind sent the salt

girl, run clean over buoy and get
his propeller hopelessly' entangled
in the rope attached to it. Even
then there might have been some
hope that Mr.. Cupid might not have

not the fisherman's knife broken

with the same practical, common
sense methods of friendship. Their
regard for each other must neces-
sarily increase or diminish. The
propeller released. they avoided
each others eyes. Certainly they
were putting up u brave little fight
with Dan Cupid.
The fisherman spoke for the first

The War Lobbyist.

II 10 alleged there are men In Washington
lobbying to thwart enactment of any legislation
locking toward international disarmament and
the prevention Of future wars. These individ-
uals are reported to represent large interests in
this country that are engaged in the manufac
ture Of war materials. This announcement will
not occasion any surprise to most Americans,
for it is merely reiteration of charge that
was freely made previous to the recent World
war.
The League Of Nations is to hold meeting
to discuss disarmament. The United States
has been invited to send . delegate to the con-
ference. Senator Borah is heading a campaign
in congress to the end that the United States
have representation in the league meeting. He
reports that he Is receiving thousands Of let
tiers from all sections of the country urging
that America join in any movement that will
curtail war preparations not only as an eco
nomical measure but as encouragement Of
future warfare
Possibility of the United States joining with
the other great powers in limitation Of arma-
ments has aroused the material interests. They
see in possible curtailment Of fighting prepare
tons a loss of fabulous profits that they reaped
during the World war. They doubtless are all
men who like to be known as patriotic Ameri-
cans. and il they were accused Of mercenary
| motives in connection with the role they are
playing today in Washington of course they
would be highly incensed. When another war
came they would all offer their services to the
( government at 81 per year in sa!ary-and de-
vote their time to promoting sales Of mate
rails in the manufacture Of which they were
personally interested.
| Sentiment in the United States is for peace
And being for peace, the people are not in ia
vor of the government entering upon a wild
expenditure of funds In the upbuilding of its
army and navy. The people want the country
to be in position to take care of itself in the
event Of trouble, but they are not DESTROYS Of
America sparring with other nations, one egg
ing the other towards greater armament plans
For almost fifty years Germany was en-
gagged in building its army and navy. Ger
many had grown so powerful as a fighting
l force that the kaiser imagined he could con
quer the remainder Of the world. Had he no
been possessed by that obsession the recen
war would never have taken place.
No serious minded American wants to Sc,
his country without an army and navy. Blu
he does expect to see his country indicate
willingness to act in concert with other power
that are striving to avert a recurrence of sucl
war as the world is now recovering from.
The war lobbyist ought to be banished from
Washington. And before he is banished h
ought to be exposed, together with all o.her
who are interested in the hellish propasand,
that he is spreading.
