wholly unnecessary censorship
This extreme of meddIing reform
is undcmocratic because it interferes
with ono Of the greatest,t one of the
simplest, one of the most wholesome
and most beneficial forms Of enter
tainment of the whole mass Of the
people.
1t is un-Amorican because il seeks
to establish an autocratic body Of
limited numbers and limited intelli-
gence with the power TO dictate to
the American people what their taste
in such simple pleasures must be and
what the limits and character Of their
enjoyment shall be.
1t is un-American because it sets
up a body protesting superiority in
wisdom, in morality, in judgment
above that Of the whole people, and
authorizes this body despotically to
control, to limit, to modify, or even
to suppress the most popular form Of
public enjoyment without the knowl-
edge of the public, and without any
opportunity for the public TO express
it's own opinion os to what it wants
or what it docs not want.

and providing for an army of an aver
age strength of 175,OOO men instead
of 10000 voted by the house for the
next fiscal year was passed tonight

The big army budget went through
in record time of less than three hours,
opposition to the army increase ap-
preparation and the increase of S31-
100000 made over the house bill fail
ing to materialize. Immediately after
passage of thea army bill, Senator

moved to take up the navy appropria-
tion bill, the last of the appropriation

drew his motion when it was an

by General Pershing, providing for
promotion to the grade Of lieutenant
general of Major Generals Hunter Lig-
gett and Robert l.. Bullard, who com
manded field armies overseas. Chair
man Wadsworth of the military COM
mittee offered the amendment, stating
that the war record of the two officers
justified this recognition. The senate
provisions increasing the size of the
regular army to 175,O00 went through
with a rush after the senate had
adopted an amendment by Senator
Borah limiting army expenditures to
the total carried in the senate bill and
operating to bar any deficiency ap-
propriations later.

lar army and another amendment in

Next Secretary of the Navy Be

Ready for Battle.
FAyORS BIG-GUN SHIPS
Continuation of Present Naval
Program Will Be Policy of
Administration.
(ey The Associated Press).

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Feb. 26.-Ed-
win DENLY, gunner's mate in Simpsons s
fleet, and sergeant of marines in the
world war, formally accepted the port
folio of navy in the next cabinet today
with a pledge to maintain the naval
fighting machine "at the highest peak of
power ready to battle at any notice..
AS his assistant he will have Theodore
Roosevelt son OF the former president,
and he will begin his administration un-
der a policy that it calls for adherence
to the present naval building program
until such time as the nations may be
brought into definite agreement for the
reduction of armaments. Continuation
of the capital construction program for
the present was announced formally as
an administration policy by President
elect Harding at the same time that he
made known definitely the final designa-
tion of Mr.. DENLY as secretary of the
navy and of Mr.. Roosevelt as assistant
secretary. He already has communicate
ed his wishes to leaders in congress.
Although he came into the cabinet
lineup at the last minute as uarl5
horse selection, Mr.. DENLY brings to
the secretaryship an unusual background
of naval experience. Besides having been
an enlisted man in war time in both the
navy and the marine corps, he has
served as a member of the house naval
committee and has gained through close
contact a knowledge of conditions be-
yond the insular possessions in the Pa
cific, where more than once the Wash
ington government has cast question:
ing eye.
In response to questions about naval
policies of the present administration,
the secretary to-be only smiled and
shook his head. He did take OCCASION
however, to declare his unqualified ap-
proval of the anti-wine ruling of Sec
rotary Daniels, adding that he believed
most of the officers of the navy nov rec
ognizeG the wisdom of the famous order
For Mr.. Daniels he expressed the
highest regard and one of his FIRST acts
as secretary-designate was to send a
telegram TO the present navy iepa ;ment
head thanking him for past courtesies.,

PARIS, Feb. 26.-The council of the
league of nations switched back to-
day to the program of the first day
and heard DIR. Alphonse Durant, the
Swiss minister to France, on his coun-
try's refusal of the right of way to
the leagues international army across
Switzerland. Dr. Durant based his ar
gument on Swiss neutrality
Leon Bourgeois, president of the
council, replying, expressed deep re-
gret that before refusing, the Swiss
government had not conferred with
the council. 1t would have been
found, he said that conditions were
such that a negative reply was un-
necessary.
NJ. Bourgeois then reverted to the
request of the free city of Danzig for
authorization to manufacture $4,000
rifles for the Peruvian government
The council approved the recommen-
dation of Viscount Ishii, Japan, that
the request be refused.
The council also approved the terms
of a. communique intended to clear
up rumors that the reply to the
American note on mandates had been
referred to Mr. Balfour. The general
terms of the reply, it swas explained
had been considered in the council, but
Mr. Balfour had been asked to make
a draft only because hre was more fa-
miliar with the subject than the other
members. This draft, when completed
will be discussed again by the coun-
Gil, probably on Monday. The COM
munique reads:
I'm order to set at rest certain ru-
mors as to the reply of the council to

may be stated that the council has not

took place several days ago when 1t
was decided that the general lines
