BEATTY DECLARES
BRITAIN Is READY
TOCUT ARMAMENT
Says World Has Learned
Danger of Too Much
Preparedness.

England will gladly accept a. fea-
sible proposition to reduce her
navy and other armaments in order
TO avoid recurrence Of the sacrifices
ePtailed during the late war. Earl
Beatty. admiral Of the British navy,
told the officers of the Sixth Battle
Squadron at their banquet given
in his honor at Rauscher's last
night
This is the first unofficial an
nouncement indicative OF the atti-
tude to be taken by the British
delegates during the arms confer
ence.
Have Learned the Cost.
1T has often been said to me,
and I believe TO you: I can't in
agine.a naval officer that could be
in favor of reducing a navy. II
would be like cutting his own
throat but you and I have seen
something Of the cost and sacrifice
these armaments entail" said the
admiral. We feel, you and I, that
anything that can be done to pre-
clude the possibility Of a recurrence
of those great sacrifices is gong
to be a happiness rot only to our<
selves and our countries, but to the
whole world-to our children and to
their children's children.
Il can say this is the happiest
moment thatI I have spent in some
time. 1t takes me back 10 the days
when you and ! were engaged in
a great cause" Beatty continued.
since I've come to the United
States have seen nothing but hos
pitality-eloquent hospitality, which
has furnished me with an under
standing of that which ] saw in
the dark days we spent together.
Never So Far From Sea.
During my travels in the United
-States-and have travelled consid-
srably II have been taken away
from the sea farther than / have
ever been before. This, strangely,
did not depress me, because al
ways had my comrades with me-

toward Adml. Rodman.
when your great President ex-
pressed himself in words that will
be flashed all over the world today
II gave not only a feeling OF graft
fication to your country and mine,
but a feeling Of eontentment to all
the world. II indicated that those
glorious sacrifices that took place
during the late war shall not be
repeated.
Admiral Beatty spoke very ten

in the North Sea- These men," he
said with emphasis, must not have

Chaufeur's Love
For Dead King
Causes Suicide

ATHENS, Dec. S1.-Death failed
to break the bond between king and
commoner, it was revealed today at
an inquest over the body Of Deme-
trius Fugalas, chauffeur to former
King Alexander.
Alexander was an enthusiastic
motorist and Fugalas was his in
separable companion. He was al
ways at the kings side as the
royal driver pushed his roaring
automobile over the Grecian hills.
Their friendship grew as they
worked together. They took long
drives at night.
The king lay dying. Physicians,
nurses and courtiers were waved
aside while Alexander called for
Fugalas. The ch- heur never re-
vealed what was said In that last
conference, but at the kings death
he attached himself to Mile. Manos,
AexRnder's morganatic wife. II
become known he had been assigned
to watch over her.
There finally came the return Of
King Constantine with wild mobs
singing and shouting over the new
ruler. Fugalas grieved that an
other had the honors which should
have been AleXander's.
As triumphant crowds sang Con-
stantIne's Eagle Song" FuEalas
took his own life.
I'm going 70 join my king" he
shouted as he turned a revolver on
himself.
