"Ah," the little man exclaimed, after
a moments exertion, now I've got
you"
"And we've got you!" shouted one
OF the newspaper men as the Raiiies
OF the White House turned. Then the
surprised reporters found themselves
looking straight into the tortoise
trimmed optics of none other than New
ton ID. Baker himself.
"Well, boys" he said, "you've got
me and I will confess" as he held up
the brass plate bearing the inscription: :
Newton d. Baker, Secretary Of
War; March o, 1916"
You may call 1t lifting the loot II
you WILL" continued the secretary, "but
l want this plate as souvenir Of my
stewardship"
For mitigating circumstances the
secretary took the reporters about the
room and showed them how he had
been preceded by other light-fngered
cabinet officers. Plates were missing
from the chairs of the secretaries of
state, commerce, and interior and the
attorney general.
"All those fellows beat me to it,"
the secretary said.

Admiral r. Il. Coontz. chief of naval
operations, previously had told the
house naval committee that within
three months the Navy department
would bomb large warship from the
air in the open sea in an effort to test
the theory advanced by Brigadler Gen
eral Mitchell of the army air service
that airplanes had made capital naval
vessels useless.
Representative Mondell of Wyoming,
Republican floor leader, who preceded
Admiral Coontz, warned the commit
tee that unless expenditures for mill
tary establishments were cut some
larger nations would be driven into
bankruptcy.
The United States should take the
lead in disarmament he said, adding:
'If an agreement Is not reached for
the limitation of ornaments and war
like expenditures In the near future
the fault will be that of America; as
in former days the fault was that of
Germany"

as Europe Reduces Normal
Requirements.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-While ex-
pressing dispproval of the Norris bill to
create a one hundred million dollar COR
poration to aid in farm exports, Secre-
tary Hoover told a Senate committee to-
day that the Administration recognized
the serious economic plight of American
farmers and was engaged in "mobiliZing
private banking credits to prevent the
forced liquidation of farm commodities,
particularly cotton and sugar.
Let us first attempt" he said, "to
prevent forced liquidation OF these COM
modities by mobilizing private capital.
as has been done already the cattle
industry, and then If We fail there will
be time enough to get the Government
to take up the burden directly"
Pointing out that the United States
had sent to Europe "a billion dollars
worth of foodstuff in the last eleven
months" Mr.. Hoover said 1t was evil
dent that the governments and peoples
there find money for foods" but con-
ceded that the situation as to cotton was
worse, because they tend to reduce
their normal requirements of textiles"

Chairman Norris referred to the Ad-
ministration bill whicn Congress has
been asked to pass empowering general
steps to fund all of the war debts which
the United States holds.
"The object Of that bill is to get these
loans in some sort of shape for
handling" Mr.. Hoover said, and when
pressed for a statement as to whether
the Treasury intended to permit ex-
change Of German reparations securities,
he said:
well, it is quite possible that the
Treasury could get better securities by
exchanging some of the securities of
new nations for German bonds
England owes four billions" Senator
Norris said. do you mean to say we
would be asked to take German bonds
against this debt and that they would
be better?"
NO." Mr.. Hoover responded. IT said
