ARMY R-EDUO1oN.

Senator Borah approaches the subject Of dfsarmA-
ment, or reduction of armament which amounts to the
same thing. from the standpoint Of the practical man Of
affairs rather thar; that of the visionary. Under the
amendment which he presented, the president IL request
ed to invite Great Britain and Japan to join with the Unit
ed States in negotiations looking toward reduction in naval
armament. He opposed the suggestion that other nations
with army as we'll rs navy reduction. s
There are always. those who, in the pursuit Of what
is generally admitted to be desirable, impair the prospects,
of progress by including too much in their demands. This,
in the opinion of Senator Berth. is the case with the pro-
posal for the inclusion of naval and military reduction in
the same resolution. Both proposals are in the interest
of peace. But the modification of naval programs is q
specific thing the intent of which is clear, and the effect
of which is parent; and there is strong prospects that this
particular thing can be done, and done almost immedi-
ately.
Army reduction is . different thing, and the mention
of it brings up at once a multitude of unsettled questions
and & whole procession of obstacles. What prospect is
there that France. for instance, will bind herself to any
military reduction just at this time, when she Is still
blesding from the wounds of, the great war and the con-
ditions on the European continent are still SO unsettled !?
Self representation is the first law of nature, and the french
self preservation demands that they have at their COM
mand an army commensurate in size and equipment with
the risks which they must run. 81
ST. Senator Borah maintains that its effort is centered
specifically on naval reduction, that it can be accomplish
ed, and that if,too much ground 10 covered now, nothing
whatever will be accomplished. Both positions seem to
kbea corset. The world needs general disarmament. But
a beginning must be made somewhere, and a good place
to begin is with the navies Of the three great naval powers.
With that reduction an accomplished fact the whole pro-
gram Of reduction will stand \ much better chance.

p. o. Sleuths Fail
to Locate Missing
$4,000 at New Haven

New Haven. Conn. Aug. 2S-A
$4,000 robbery in the post office
came to light today when it was
learned that two post Office inspect
ors from Boston have been here a
month investigating the disappear
ance of the currency on July l. The
money was in a package made up of
twenty, fifty and one hundred dol
lar bills The package was one of
three taken to the New Haven of
flee by a bank messenger who OBJ
tanned three receipts at the registry
window.
Two packages reached their des-
tinations, but the $4,000 parcel, con-
signed to the National City Bank Of
New York from the Broadway Bank
and Trust Company of this city,
failed to reach the New York insti-
tuition. An official of the Broadway
Bank and Trust Company said today
that the package was insured and the
insurance company has paid $4,000
to the local bank.
1t was learned that the mail pouch
in which the package was supposed
to have been shipped to New York
contained the same number of
packages when it reached New
York post office as it did when it
left the local post office. Insurance
company investigators are of the
opinion that another registered pack
age was substituted for the currency
parcel in the pouch. No arrests have
been made.

permanent settlement in New Eng
land was recalled today in the dedi-
cation of the little chapel of Our
Lady of Holy Hope. The chapel, re-
modelled from an ancient structure.
stands on the site of Fort Pentagoet

history of French, English, Acadian
and Dutch occupations of the terri
tory. According to Bishop Louis F..
Walsh of Portland who off1ciated,
Holy Mas was offered by a jesuit
missionary on the peninsula now
known as Castine as early as 1911.

priests from Penobscot valley towns
and from Quebec, while Indians in
native costumes, direct descendants
of the warriors of the Abenaqui and

GOMPERS MOVES FOR
LABOR'S VOICE AT
DISARMAMENT MEET

Atlantic City, y. j., Aug. 2S-Sam-
uel Gompers, tonight made public
his appeal to the labor movements
of the nations that are to participate
in the forthcoming disarmament
conference in Washington to prevail
upon their respective governments
to have labor represented upon their
delegations
The proposal to discuss means of
tightening the tremendous burden Of
armament" said President Gompers
in a statement accompanying the
correspondence, is one which inter
ests the working people above
others From them came the first
protests against enormous armament.
The hope is repeated that the
forthcoming conference in Washing
ton may be attended by the highest
possible degree Of success. The la
Dor movement in the United States
will. in whatsoever way it may be
possible, make every endeavor to be
helpful to the cause of disarmament
but only through the opportunity to
exercise a voice within the confer
cncc itself can it make available its
full volume of counsel and CO.
operation
Mr.. Gompers also made public cor
respondence with the Hhite House
in which he urged President Hard
ing to appoint one or more repre-
sentatives of labor on the American
commission.
President Harding in replying to
Mr.. Gompers thanked him for the
American Federation of La boris sup
port and said he would give consid
GRAFTON to the recommendation that
& labor representative be appointed
to the American delegation which he
characterized as d very practical
suggestion
Mr., Gompers statement SAID that
President Harding at "a conference
with him, had also expressed him
self as being favorably impressed
with this suggestion"

He added that after his men had

were in civilian clothes and it was
difficult to distinguish them in the
