found in the staten ent-"The time to
begin to save is the day you begin
to work"
One of the great needs Of America

Countless millions are sleeping lazily

AS a means of stimulating the saw.

mer American representative on
the supreme war council at Paris.
"The nation that would come to
such a conference and refuse to
agree to any proposition looking to
disarmament or at least reduction
of it's military establishment" said
General Bliss, could be written
down as the next Germany and the
United States could make its plans
accordingly"
General Bliss preceded before the
committee, Secretay Daniels who
appeared again to give the commit
tee detailed information regarding
the relative naval strength of the
great powers. The former chief of
staff of the army said his associa-
ton with the high military repre-
sentatives of the other powers at
Paris had confirmed his belief that
all of the great nations of the world
were ready to. talk disarmament
seriously.
"Our present form of civilization
cannot stand the great strain OF
military preparation much longer"
General Bliss declared. "The world
war was a terrific strain on the
civilization. The next war will be
very muchc worse. Fear is the basis
of war preparation. This is a busi-
ness proposition and we should de-
temine whether there is any real
basis for the refusal of these great
military and naval programs.
1t would not be necessary to have
all the nations of the world repre-
sented at the suggested conference,
the general said, if the United
States, Great Britain, France, Japan
and Italy reached an agreement The
smaller nations would willingly ac-
cede to any proposal put forward in
good faith by these five great pow
ers, he declared.
General Bliss said that he had dis
cussed disarmament 'in a general
way and incident to other matters,
with Marshal Foch and high British
military leaders.
"Did you ever talk it over, with
any of Japan's or Italy's officials?"
asked Chairman Butter.
"I believe I did with Italian rep
resentatives" was the reply. "Of
course the subject only came up at
that time incidentally"
