troubled diplomatic relations In

Idea Of the principles it meant to

The attitude Of the United
States is that the interest of this
government is not nearly so dl-
rect in the Far Eastern situation
5 it was in the question of arma-
nents. Both China and Japan ap-
peared to prefer to wait and ia
miliarize themselves with the at

aying down their views in detail.
Great Britain also had failed to
give any indication Of a willing

Police Officers also attempted to
identify the prisoner as Gardner
by a wound in the leg which he
was reported to have received
from the gun Of guard when he
escaped from Mcneil island. The
police were unable to find the
wound and the prisoner maintains
ed that none Of the shots fired by
the guards struck him.
Boarded Train in City.
Police this morning said that
while there was nothing of un-
usual value in the mail on board
the car attacked last night, local
bank planned to ship $4,000 from
here today, and they believed the
would-be robber had been tipped
off" to the shipment, but got the
wrong train.
The mail car attacked last night
was on Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe train No ITO. The robber
boarded the car 10 minutes before
the train was to leave for Los An
geles, and it is the theory Of local
officers that he intended to ride
to nearby station where they be-
iieve he had accomplices waiting
for him.
Clerk Disarlns Him.
Herman Inderlled Of Phoenix,
clerk In charge of the car, said he
was not looking when the would
be robber got into the car and
that the first he knew Of the 9TH
ers presence was when he felt
gun pressed against his body and
turned around to find a masked
man holding revolver against
him. Inderlied, who is six feet
two inches tall and weights about
215 pounds, struck his assailant,
took his gun away from him and
then sat on him while he waited
for officers to respond to his calls.
Then the bandit was taken to the
county Jail, where ne said he was
Il. P. Nelson OF Chicago"
Inderlied went out with his car
last night.
While Inderlied was holding his
prisoner, the latter said: well,
you've earned your $500 tonight"
referring to standing reward Of
fered to mail clerks for the can
ture OF mail bandits.
Marines But Block Away.
Another Sante Fe train was
standing on a track at the local
station just a few feet from No.
ITO and a Southern Pacific train
with two marine guards in the
mail car was at the Southern Pa
cific station a quarter OF a block
away when Inderlied was attack
ed.
Inderlied, who returned to
Phoenix today, was called TO the
police station TO identity the pris-
oner formally as his assailant. As
he approached the prisoner, the
latter held out his hand, and said:
."You haven't got any hard feel
ings, have you?"
I've got a wife and child at

adressee be given instead of merely
the initials. In addressing letter TO
building, it is also advisable to in
clude the name of the street upon
which the building is located, because
in every city there are so many build
ings bearing names with which the dis
tributors in the post office are I'M
familiar
AS further precaution, the post
office department suggests that the
address of the writer should be placed
at the top of every letter and re-
turn address should, be written or
printed in the upper left-hand corner
of every envelope placed in the mails.
Address Clearly
1t would also be a great boon to tho
post offices of every city if people
would take the trouble to write clear
ly and correctly instead of treating
envelopes as if they were scratch
pads. One letter day for each family
of five persons is the postal
record of the United States, and it is
estimated that one family in every
ten puts a badly addressed letter in
the mails every day. The time re-
quired by experts to decipher the
nations weird penmanship naturally
causes delay.
Now, during the Christmas season
especially, the cooperation of the pub
lie is requested in facilitating the ra
pid handling and movement of the
postal matter. Most people have been
considerable enough to do their Christ
mas shopping early this year, thus re
heving the strain on department
store employees and incidentally on
themselves, but they are not likely to
be so thoughtful of the overworked
postal clerks, who are always buried
in packages during the last few days
before the twenty-fifth. In this final
hectic period, delays and losses are
bound to occur.
The post office department has TAX.
en- laborious precautions to insure
the safe handling and delivery of the
mails. In addition to maintaining a
large staff for interpreting the mistak,
en- directions of the public, it has late
ly adopted elaborate measures to com.
bat theft Among these is the re
be finger printed. 1t is constant
ly establishing new regulations, new
systems and new records for cutting
down losses of mail from all causes
Accidents, of course, are inevitable
Bandits are still numerous. But g
much higher state of efficiency coulc
be reached, if the public would only
do its part.

Annual Navy Report

'In view of the circumstances that the navy
department is now in state of suspense, and
will be until the disarmament conference reaches
an agreement upon the naval strength of the
three great powers, Secretary Denbys annual
report is of necessity properly considered only in
relation to momentous events outside the depart
ment ITSELF says the Indianapolis News. THE
1922 appropriation suggested in the budget,
is 1912, 600 less than the 1921 outlay of
$3.50, 373, 1886 So, reduction of approximately
one-thrd. This figure is a fair measure of the
administrations estimate of the effect of the
success of the naval program offered to the arms
conference. On the other hand, the failure Of
the conference will mean not merely the con-
tinuation of the 1916 building program, but prob
ably an expensive supplementary program.
Secretary Denbys report shows that during
the nine months since he took charge of the de-
partment, the work of reducing the navy to a
peace basis has occupied much of the depart
ment's time Particular stress is laid upon its

economy program The New Orleans naval sta
ton, for instance, which was maintained at an
annual expense of about S1,000,000, was found
upon investigation to be doing little work that
could not be done as we'll elsewhere for the same
price, and it was closed. In the principal navy
yards there has been a general reduction in the
wages of civilian employees to conform to the
departments policy of paying wages in keeping
with the wages in civilian establishments. These
reductions were accomplished through the me-
dunn of a committee upon which the employees
had full representation, and there was, appar-
emily, little dissatisfaction with the reductions.
THE Atlantic and Pacific fleets are reported
to be in good order and we'll manned with trained
personnel, but there will be some interruption OF
training when the temporary officers retained
since the war are released with the lapse of their
commissions December 81. The department has
committed itself through the joint board to the
maximum possible development of aviation in
the navy This, of course, depends upon the de-
cision of the armament conference. The depart
ment is satisfied that its work in Haiti San
Domingo, Guam, Samoa and the Virgin islands
is so administered as to make for the best inter-
ests of the natives. Recruiting has reflected the
sluggish business conditions in the country, and
the navy has at times had to limit its appeal for
new men. The first report of Secretary DENLY 5
indicates that in view of the uncertain future of
the navy and its present reduction to peace
standing, the department is living up to the
standard that won praise for the navy during
the war"

ACCIDENTS At NIGHT

State officials and officials OF the
Hoosier State Auto association coop
Grating with them, are confident the
new headlight regulations will meet
with few violations after the public
understands what must be done and
the whyfore of the regulations.
The appalling increase in highway
accidents occurring at night has
brought forcibly to everyone's atten-
ton the absolute necessity for correct
illumination for motor vehicles. The
majority of night accidents are caused
by the use of high powered lights
throwing their beams for long dis
tances down the road and at the same
time up in the air, binding the oppos-
ing drivers.
This is terrific hazard to all driv-
ers because streets and highways
everywhere these times are ablaza
with lights of motor vehicles.
