FRIENDSHIP is
ONLY CUREFOR
FEAR AND GREED
Armament Reduction VIII
Progress in Ratio With
will to Peace
ALLIED LOAN QUESTION
ny WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.

Rv WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.
WASHINGTON, Dec. THE postpone
ment Of the question of land armament
gives time for the consideration OF the
PROPOSALS made with a view to aiding IN
the reduction of armies.
While local conditions Will necessarily
plav a large part in determining the
action taken by each nation much VIII
denend upon general principles that VIII
apply to all alike.
In other words, the average reductioh
possible will be as large in proportion
as the will to peace" which to use sec
retary Hughes language takes the place
of the Will to war. Anything therefore
which will increase the sense OF security
will decrease the army estimates just as
any suggestion of future wars will tehd
to increase the army estimates.
UNITED STATES IN
POSITION TO LEAD.
Friendship is the only thing that can
be substituted for both fear and greco
and the United States is the only Nation
that is In a position to contribute lareeiy
toward the re-establishment OF friend
shin. As long as the United States de
mands from the allies the repayment Oh
ten billion dollars lo0ned the aIlles VIII
feel justified in collecting this amount
from the enemy nations. Even II pay
ment to the United States Is postponed
payment from enemy nations Will De e&-
pected. Thus the United States may con
tr,bute 10 the condition that win prevent
the ACCOMPLISHMENT or the IrlehusniP
necessary to world peace to cancel the
debt in favor of the allies would not
produce the desired results.

and result in the expenditure OF the
or,orrt in preparation for another war.
France iustifies the retention OF the
arms on the ground that Germany con-
tamnlates aggression. Whether this Is
true or false can be determined by an
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES is so far as prepare
+ton for aggression is concerned. But
reopening of the war depends more upon
the spirit Of unfriendliness than upon
actual preparations.
THE LEADING
QUESTION.
The great question is whether the
spirit Of friendship can be restored, Tor
without this ali-peace plans are futile.
Can the United States use this indebted
ness to restablfsh real friendship be-
tween the nations at war;
Can reconciliation be affected by an
equitable distribution Of the ten billion
among the European nations, allies and
enemies? II so cannot the L. s. AFFORD
to use a debt Of doubtful value to pur-
chase a benefit OF incalculable value?
If such a use Of the debt generated a
world disposition towards peace the
United States viii soon save more than
ten billion by the reductions which It viii
make possible In Army and Navy appro-
priations. The alternative course may
cost the U. S. many times the debt. not
to speak Of the loss Of an opportunity
for supreme service to the world.-Copy-

authorities, when asked about the cat
stealing incident offered the following
explanation;
They needed cats for the new course
Large numbers OF stray cats had been
observed roaming the bottoms and dumps
to the west and north OF the Long and
city hospitals. The bottoms were full
OF cats, IN fact There ought not to be
any objection from any one II these cats
were obtained, so they cast around for
some small Logs to catch them. They
instructed the boys TO get the cats In
the bottoms and offered 81 each as re-
ward. But the cats were Wild. so wild
that the boys could not catch many Of
them and so the boys. apparently spurred
on by that dollar reward, got the cats
wherever they could. The college did
not want anyl ody's pet cat, however.
and all that were brought in were care
fully scrutinized. If theJ looked like pets
they were refused and the boys instructed
to take them back.

emulation that until the epidemic OF
rubies, which has been observed among
dogs In the city for several months, is
cleared up that no more dogs taken to
the city pound shall be given out 20 new
owners. DR.. Craig said that IN his mind
the rabies situation Is becoming serious
and that the plan Of killing all stray
dogs brought to the pound for period
OF five or six months would cure II. He
said this plan was successfully used dur
ing the former administration OF Mayor
Samuel Lewis shank.

COLORED PRISONER
MAKES HIS ESCAPE
BY use OF SLEDCE

A negro named John Bush. who was
found guilty in police court Friday
of pilfering. decided Friday night not
to impose on the city's hospitality any
longer, and left without saying good
bye. He has not been reapprehended.
A sledge belonging to the fire depart
ment and piece of pipe were found
in his cell. and it is supposed that
these were the weapons with which
he forced the bars of the window.
How the articles got in his cell is a
mystery. He was strange negro in
this community, and may have felt
homesick.

ENDEAVORING TO
FIND OUT WHERE
LENA USED CASH
PostoGce Inspectors At Work On
Problem Of Where the
Shortage Went

West Palm Beach, Aug. 13. Post
Office inspectors w. b. Brannon and
A. N. McKew, who have been work
ing here for the past ten days in
connection with the robbery of the
local post office on July 26, left last
night for Orlando, where they will
again interview Miss Lena Clarke.
Miss Clarke. now being held in the
Orange county Jail on the charge of
murder of F. A. Miltimore, and who
has confessed to the robbery of the
local post office, is expected to tell
the inspectors in detail what disposi-
tion she made of the money repre-.
senting her shortage prior to the rob
berry. This was government money
and the agents are trying to establish
where it all went.
Inspector H. N. Graham stated last
night that he will be able to conclude
his work here today and be ready
to turn the office over to Postmaster
Calvin w. Campbell in good shape.
Inspector Graham in an interview
last night stated that he had traced
many lavish expenditures made by
Miss Clarke on trivial things, which
pointed to ner desire to become a
mind power. Books on the power of
the mind, the ouiji board, fortune tell
ing devices, spiritualist literature,
etc, have been found to bear out pre-
vous statements that Miss Clarke had
occupied her time in this way.
1t is also shown in the post Office
records of Miss Clarke that during
1920 and 1921 the manipulation of the
receipts of the office had been con-
tinuous and carefully planned until
the date of the robbery.
This fact, it is pointed out by the
shows conclusively that no
one else had anything to do with the
shortage except with her knowledge
and they are now tracing down the
of the money which
caused the deficiency covered by the
stolen money.

MEXICO WILL NOT
SIGN PACT PRIOR
TO RECOGNITION

Mexico City, Aug. 13.-President
Obregon still maintains his recently
announced policy relating to the Sc
curing of the present Mexican gov
ernment by the United States. The
foreign Office last night made public
a statement that there was no in
tention on the part of Mexico to sign
a treaty with America prior to recog-
hilton and that the whole attitude of
the government regarding this matter
had undergone no change
This statement was called foth by
statement attributed to Henry P.
Fletcher, American under secretary of
State, who was interviewed at Wash
ington on Thursday by representa-
tive of the newspaper FL Universal.
Mr.. Fletcher is understood to have
said that article 27 of the Mexican
constitution, which nationalizes de-
clared non-retroactive.
1T is idle to think of granting rec
ognition," Mr.. Fletcher is said to
have asserted eff Mexico is unwilling
to negotiate treaty of commerce
and trade. Washington does not in
send to make "a peremptory demand
for the payment of Mexico's foreign
Hebt or for the payment of damages.
The United States is not making an
exception in Mexico's case as the
same action is being demanded of
Germany and Greece"

ISSUED TODAY BY
THE WHITE HOUSE
Aim Is To Explain the
Administration Pro- :

That People May Know
President II ardin g's
Ideas

Washington, Aug. 13.-An official
statement explaining the administra-
ton tax revision program was issued
today at the White house. 1t declares
that the aim was to establish methods
that would raise the needed revenue
within reasonable certainty, make col
lections sure and inexpensive and pro-
perry adjust the burdens among
classes of all communities.
1t is felt that highly important pro-
gress has been made along these lines,
the statement says, adding:
"Thehe has been no effort to relieve
the rich of their share of the burdens.
but rather to insure that no class will
be left an avenue to escape from
these.
A casual analysis of the proposals

While the balance will be distributed
over The entire community, rich and
roor.
The reduction to 80 per cent of the
nigh asst income and surtax brackets is
expected by experts to produce actu-
ally more than do the present high
rates. The present rates prevent
transactions that would involved ap-
plication of the high rates and thus
keep taxes away from the government
Also. they drive money into the tax

with the excess profits taxes that

the intense speculation that followed
