SUBSTITUTE FOR
BORAH MEASURE
New Disarmament Resolution
by Chairman Porter Or
dered Before House.
HAS APPROVAL OF PRESIDENT
6roadens the Scope of the Senate
Amendment to Naval Bill--In-
cludes Disarmament on Land
as Well as on Sea.

Washington, June S.-The house for
eign affairs committee reported out the
Porter disarmament resolution, despite
warnings from senate disarmament
advocates that adoption of the Porter
proposal would tie up naval appro-
priation Indefinitely.
The Porter resolution has the ap-
proyal of President Harding and was
Endorsed by the Republican leaders of
the house before it was presented.
1t broadens the scope of the Borah
disarmament amendment added to the
naval bill in the senate by including
disarmament on land as well as on sea
and by including all big armament ma
tons in the proposed conference.
The Porter resolution is opposed by
Senator Borak and his associates in
the disarmament group on the ground
that it is not a definite step toward
reduction of ornaments. Under the
provisions of the house measure con-
gresS would not direct or authorize
the President to call an international
conference on the subject, but simply
would concur" in any move he might
make toward international disarma-
ment.
Democratic members of the foreign
affairs committee at a meeting APP
proved the principles of the Porter
resolution by voting for substitute
offered by Representative Flood of
Virginia, ranking Democratic member
of the committee. The Flood substi-
tute went further than the Porter
proposal, however, by directing the
President to call a disarmament con-
ference"
The text of the Porter resolution as
reported by the committee follows:
Resolved, by the senate and house of
representatives of the United States
of America in congress assembled
that the congress hereby expresses its
full concurrence in the declaration Of
the President in his address to con-
gress on April II, 1921, that we are
ready to cooperate with other nations
to approximate disarmament, but
merest prudence forbids that we dis
arm Alone and further fully concurs
in his declared purpose and intention
to call an international conference to
consider the limitation of ornaments
with view to lessen materially the
burden of expenditures and the men
ace Of war; and that for the expenses
preliminary to and in connection with
the holding of such conference the
sum of 100000. to be expended I'M
der the direction of the President, is
hereby appropriated"

state 1t is getting to be common
practice to sentence minor offenders
to a term of saving, and in Syracuse
last year $1,000 was invested in this
way in War Savings stamps, all later
returned to the men or used to help
their families. At Niagara Falls, when
David Broderlck was placed on proba-
ton six months ago and ordered to
give the probation officer S12 a week
for War Savings stamps he COM
planned bitterly. At the end of six

to bring $40 a week to continue his

Milwaukee, "MedieInaI" Water.

The city Of Milwaukee has been
greatly bothered with a peculiar taste
In Its drinking water. The water is
obtained from the lake and is chlorin-
ated before distribution. At first 1t
was thought that the chlorine produced
the taste, but series Of tests proved
that this was not the source of con-
tamination. There seems to be some
connection between the intensity Of
the taste and the direction of the
wind, and finally the source Of trouble
was located in a couple OF plants, one
three miles away and the other eight
miles away, which were producing coal
tar products.
