Of an unprovoked attack, dispatches TO

Both sets of dispatches were based
on statements elected from the ac'

by the Japanese government. The SEN

in agreement with the ante-mortem
story Of the affair by Lieut.. Langdon
In that the sentry was the first to fire.
The sentry, who previously had main
tanned that the American officer fired
first, also was reported as having told
the court of inquiry that he had dis.

cover rs per cent of the forest area,
the leaf timber 81 per cent, and the
mixed about 12.9 per cent. In Slova-

leaf forests prevail, forming about 81
per cent of the whole. and the needle

100000 acres charitable Institutions

100000 acres and the large estates,
held by private owners, cover $780,
600 acres. II must not be taken for
granted that the extensive Czechoslo-
yak forests were given over to the
use of the whole people. On the con-
trary, all the benefits to be derived
enured to the foreign nobility and the
wealthy owners, when the mere walk

HARDING SUPPORTS BIG NAVY
Views Of Presldent-elect on Word
wide Sentiment for Abandonment
of Armament Race Given.

Marion, 0hio.--A naval policy to
keep the United States one of the
strongest sea powers in the world un'
til binding disarmament agreement
can be reached was discussed at
conference here between President
elect Harding and Representative But
Ter OF Pennsylvania, chairman of the
house naval committee. Afterward
II was indicated that although final
decision must await developments the
present attitude of Senator Harding
pointed to a continuation during his
administration of the fleet construc-
ton program now in progress. Cou-
pied with this program, however,
would be a material curtailment in the
number OF civilian employees of the
navy department and various econ
omies in the land stations under navy
Jurisdiction.
Mr.. Harding long has favored an
efficient navy as the first line OF
American defense. and he is under
stood to feel that big navy policy
might be continued practically II steps
are taken to curtail the strength of
the army along the lines he approved
yesterday in conference with Chair
man Kahn of the house military COM
mittee.
He also strongly favors the reserve
system Cor both army and navy, and
is understood to have indicated to
Chairman Butler that an adequate
naval reserve should be considered
one Of the requisites to national de-
tense.
The. whole question OF the navy
hinges, however, on what progress
may be found possible in the move
ment for a general reduction of ar
mament throughout the world. Mr..
Butler who is inclined to place little
faith in the proposal, expects to de-
| yelop in committee hearings all the
information available on the probable
consequences of disarmament This
information he will turn over TO Mr..
Harding. A
81 am determined to know" said
the committee chairman in a state
ment what the other nations OF the
world sincerely desire in the way OF
an agreement to limit armament and
especially that of the sea-"
i
Mr. Butler called Mr.. Harding's at
tention to the provision of the naval
appropriation bili of 1916, requesting
the president to make canvass OF
world sentiment in regard to disar'
mament He recommended that the
new administration take advantage OF
this authorization and seek an ex'
change OF international opinion quite
separate from the plan for an asso'
citation OF nations.

REPUBLICANS BLOCK VOTE
Senator Lenroot Claims Bill Would
Help Only British lnterests-BiII
Now Before Senate.

acknowledgements by repub
lican senators prevented vote in the
senate on the bill proposing gov
eminent corporation to take over and
operate the nitrate plant at Muscle
Shoals, Ala A motion to recommit
the bill to the senate committee on
agriculture for redrafting was pend.
ing when the senate adjourned.
Senator Lenroot, republican, Wis
consin, who made the motion to re-
commit the bill, declared that 1t was
in no sense a farmers relief measure
and that its passage would benefit
only the Alabama Power Company,
which, he said, was corporation
owned by persons with Headquarters
in Montreal, Canada, and with British
interests the largest stockholders.
Senator Underwood, democrat, Ala.
bama, declared Senator Lenroots
charges were based on nothing but
theories" and denied that the Ala
bama Power Company would benefit
by the adoption Of the measure. Sup,
porters of the measure under SEN
ator Underwood's leadership, won a
preliminary skirmish earlier in the
afternoon in preventing adjournment
by a margin OF one vote. Senator
Underwood also put in an amendment
to the civil sundry appropriation bill
which came over from the house dur
ing the day to provide $10,OOO,OO0 for
carrying on the work of building the
Wilson dam at Muscle Shoals.
Denunciation of "rumors' OF cor
ruption" in connection with the ex-
penditures of moneys at Muscle
Shoals was made by Senator Williams,
democrat, Mississippi, during debate
on the bill. The Mississippi senator
said such charges should be investi-
gated and the guilty parties sent to
the penitentiary. Il am tired OF this
attacking the honor and yeracity of
men unless 1t be done with reason"
the Mississippi senator asserted.
"Of course there was enormous
waste and extravaganza during the
war;" he continued, "but there was
no corruption"
Retention and development of the
Muscle Shoals plant as part Of tn
national defense would help to pre-
vent wars, Senator Gronna, repub-
lican, North Dakota. declared, in sup.
port of the proposal.

CAN LIVE CHEApLY IN HAITI
Food Costs Little, and Tips for serv-
ices Rendered Are Hardly Worth
While Considering.

Labor and living are cheap in Haiti
There is a hotel in Port au Prince,
rated as the best, that charges only
81 day for a room and three square
meals.
True, the rooms are small, with the
ancient washbowl, and unlockable,
with concrete floors and rugless, but
they are clean and comfortable.
The same meals could not be OBJ
tanned anywhere In the United States
at double the price. Luncheon is a
regular dinner and dinner Is much Ike
an eight-cOurse feast.
They never serve less than two OF
three meats, when one, according to
the American habit, would be enough.
There is fruit In abundance in Haiti,
and boy standing on the front porch.
overlooking the sea, often picks the
breakfast oranges.
The favorite dish Is the chicken,
served 1856 days in the year without
the least variation. Nobody ever
wants to see a chicken after staying
three weeks In Haiti.
A Haitian boy, waiting faithfully
on a guest for q meals, beams his
delight when tipped 3 tyOurdes, which
is 90 cents. The maid. whose CHIEF
duty is to spread the mosquito net,
almost drops to her knees for the same
fee weekly. The boy who fetches the
water and fixes the shoes gladly slips
man extra towels for 3 gourdes q
week.
Laundry at American rates would
cost more than room and board in
Haiti, II there were laundries. There
Is much to go out from each room
daily to washerwOmen, and 1t comes
back spick and span at nominal cost
But Haiti has not reached the point
where It may bid for tourist travel
A man, stopping at the best hotel here
for the first time feels rather foolish
when he asks for room and bath and
is conducted to little house 90 feet
away, where he may get shower
It's hard life for women.
The best, however. is In sharp con-
trast with the worst, for the laborer
gets 20 cents a day, and thousands
of natives live only ON fruit that grows
wild everywhere, the year round, like
the roses.
