B0RAH WINS FIGHT
ON DISARMAMENT
PRECEDENT REQUESTED TO CALL
NAVAL DISARMAMENT CON-
FERENCE.
PRESIDENT HAD OBJECTED
Senator POindextsr Supported Amend
msnt and Withheld Parliamentary
Point Of Order After Its Die
eusslons For Adoption.

Washington-SenatOr Borah Of Idaho
and those associated with him in the
Senate on questions Of naval policy
virtually won their fight for incorpor-
alton in the $500, 100000 naval appro-
priation bill Of the Borah amendment
requesting the president to call ma
val disarmament conference OF the
United States, Great Britain and
Japan.
Senator Poindexter, republican, of
Washington, in charge Of the naval
bill, and other administration leaders
suddenly and Unexpectedly came to
the support Of the amendment and
leaders generally joined in predictions
of adoption OF the disarmament pro-
posal.
Although Senator Poindexter and
other republican leaders said they had
not heard further from President Har-
ding regarding his attitude toward the
Borah proposal, there were reports
that both by letter and telephone the
president had been in communication
with republican leaders.
Both in senate debate and in for.
NAL statement for the press, Senator
Poindexter announced his intention to
vote for the Borah amendment and
also to withhold parliamentary point
of order against 1t which would have
required a two-thirds vote for its
adoption.
After this announcement Senator
Curtis, republican whip, passed the
word among republicans to vote as they
desired on the Borah provision. Sen
ator Lodge Of Massachusetts,, the re-
publican leader, said he would vote
for the amendment and that he ex-
pected general republican support
the changes in the situation occa-
stoned considerable surprise and, to
Senator Borah, much qualification. Al
ter q conference with the president
Senator Poindexter announced recent.
ly that the president preferred not to
have the Borah amendment adopted,
while Senator Hale, republican, Maine,
who accompanied Senator Poindexter,
also had said that he understood that
the president regarded 1t as "unneces.
Sary." 4.
Despite the developments in the dis
armament controversy, no progress
was made on the bill Senators King,
democrat, Utah, and LaFollette, re-
publican, Wisconsin, again spoke at
length in criticism of the appropria.
tion programme, but tomorrow it was
expected that the senate would get
down to disposition of many amerd.
ments proposed by the naval commit
tee. The virtual agreement on the
disarmament provision, 1t was said,
would not affect the fight for and
against the committee increases over
the measure as passed by the house,

GAINED AND LOST FORTUNES
Enallah Dandies Played for hIOh
Stakes In the Latter Part Of
Eighteenth Century.

Almack's was one Of the famous old
gambling clubs Of London. 1t was at
Its height In the latter part of the
Eighteenth century, and the play there
was enormous. 1t was not uncommon
for the losses in a single night to
amount to upwards of 100000.
The young men, handles all, who in
tended to play set about the matter
with a great deal of ceremony. They
wore straw hats with wide brlms,
flower and ribbon trimmed; the brims
intended to keep the light from their
eyes, and that the spectators might
not see their emotions they often wore
masks. They also often took of their
rufies and silk or satin coats and wore
in their place rough great-coat or
else wound leather bands about their
arms to protect the delicate lace and
hues Of their coats from the soil Of the
table.
AT each players side was a small
table that held their tea, wine cakes
and rolls of rouleaus or chips. Most
OF the players wore long curls, eye
glasses mounted on long sticks, were
perfumed, powdered and painted like
court ladies, and some Of them even
affected a mlncing ladyllke walk. But
those who made the error Of thinking
them ladylike in their fighting ability
made a mistake that often cost life,
for the gay young sparks would draw
swords at the drop Of hat and meet
death with q laugh.

HARDING Will

government to find out how the
allies viewed the matter and the
attitude OF the great powers is one
Of expectancy and hope that Amer
lea will find it possible to attach
her signature to the Versailles
treaty even though . number OF
reservations or notifications may
be made. The French, for instance,
place great weight Upon the moral
value of Americas signature to the
Versailles pact because of the ef-
feet such q move would have upon
Germany where hope still fingers
that the United States will part

Another reason for using the
Versailles pact instead Of q new
treaty has to do with preserving
!! Americas status in the Supreme
Council. That organization was
formed during the war and re-
NAMED as q league of visitors.
President Harding feels that the
Supreme Council can be used a.
vehicle for many important things.
He has already Availed himself OF
the machinery Of the Supreme
Council to canvass sentiment with
respect to disarmament. II Amer

she would no longer have Z valid
claim to membership in that Su.
