PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 16.-Roy

Herman Irderlied. of Phoenix, who

the desperado. Inderlied was alone in
the mail car, which was attached to an
sAtchison, Topeka & Santa Fe train
in the station due to depart for Los
Angeles. Ten minutes before the time
of departure Gardner, masked and car
rying a pistol, entered the car unob-

Japan to Build
Schools With
Arms Savings
Business Men, Believing Ma
val Reduction Assured,
Plan to Devote Money
to Social Betterment

TOXIC, Nov. 16 (By The Associated
Press) evidence of optimism
and the prevalent tendency to regard
the slash in naval armament as an
accomplished fact, is to be found in
the discussion now being indulged in
regarding the economic effect of re-
leasing tremendous revenue, which
could be made available for the de-
velopment of education, industry and
trade. Thus far the Japanese govern
ment authorities have maintained ab-
solute silence concerning the Wash
ington proposals, except for general
expressions of admiration for Amer
ica's sincerity and of hope for the sue
cess of the conference.
Nevertheless, business men and bank
ers, on the supposition that Admiral
Kato's acceptance of the proposals in
principle is conclusive, have begun to
plan for new Japan. The first place
in their consideration is given to edu-
cation. More and better schools of the
primary, middle and high grades are
visualized, with consequent relief from
the deprivation Of the children of
proper facilities for education. The
development of industry and the sys-
tematic betterment of social conditions
occupy high place in their estimation
of the benefits to be derived from the
application of some of the money saved
by the proposed limitation of arma-
ment.
Toyoji Wada, managing director of
the Fuji Spinning Company and special
member of the Toxic Chamber of Com
merce, finds pleasant note in the Jap
anese accord with the Hughes sugges-
tions-that there will be at least
200,000,000 yen to devote to peaceful
pursuits, with armament restrictions
accomplished.

for help. Marine guards in a nearby
mail car rushed to his aid.
When Gardner was taken to the
county Jail he gave his name as R. P
Nelson, of Chicago, and warned the
Sheriff that he intended to escape.
He admitted his identity to-day when
confronted with descriptions sent out
at the time of his last escape. He will
be sent to Leavenworth, Kan, to finish
serving sentences hanging over him
when he escaped.
At the prison to-day Gardner held his
hand out to Inderlied and said:
"You haven't got any hard feelings
have you?"
Give got wife and child at home,'
lnderlied replied
$50 have ], !" responded the prisoner
"and if you had had gun last night
your wife would have been a widow To-
day. ! never hurt an unarmed man
But next time gun is stuck against
you, you put up your hands--it might
not be Roy Gardner behind the gun"
1t was announced that Interlied
would receive a reward of $1,000 fol
Gardner's capture. Of this $4,000 is the
standing reward offered for the capture
of any person attempting to rob the
mails and $4,000 is special reward
offered for Gardner's capture.

Harding Names Dresel
AS Charge to Germany
Action Believed to Indicate No
Ambassador Will Be Ap-
pointed at Present

WASHINGTON, Nov 16,-Ellis Log
ing Dresel, of Boston, was nominated
to-day by President Harding to be
Charge d'Affaires to Germany. Mr.
Dresel has been American Commits
sioner to Germany and is now in Ber-
lin.
The nomination of Mr.. Dresel was
said in official circles to mean that
probably no ambassador would be sent
by the United States to Berlin for a
time at least. 1t is considered quite
probable that Germany will be repre-
sented likewise in Washington fol
some time.
Mr.. Dresel is regarded highly by
Administration officials, who point out
as one of his achievements the ne
gotiation of the treaty of peace be
tween the United States and Germany
He is a lawyer and lived in Germany
number of years. He was visiting in
Berlin in 1914 when the World Wal
broke out, and because of his wide ex-
perience was of great assistance te
Americans who became stranded ir
Germany.
New-York tribune., 1921-11-17

upon Cnls polnC has been verified by
the events of the second plenary
session of the conference.
With studious yet dramatic spon-
taneity Mr.. Balfour, in his graceful
manner, has placed on record the pro-
found satisfaction with which Great
Britain has greeted the American pro-
posal; satisfaction as evident as if
the surprising Scheme" as the British
plenipotentiary repeatedly called it,
were matter of previous agreement.
Admiral Kato, with sailor-like direct
ness and conciseness, reinforced the
jubilant assurance of his ally in words
the purpose of which cannot be mis-
understood. France and Italy courte-
ously and cheerfully united in the
chorus of appreciation, and it is now
certain that some limit is to be set to
the naval armament of the world.
Greater Step Than Expected
This great achievement adds i'm
mensely to the prestige of President
Harding and Secretary Hughes. 1t is,
OF course, far from disarmament, for
the three great navies will still be
formidable fighting machines, but it is
q longer step in that direction than had
been expected. 1t is, in fact, so long a
step that Europe is astonished and
puzzled by it; astonished because
armed nations in Europe have no in
tention to reduce their armaments, and
puzzled because they do not compre-
hend the motives of the United States.
Whatever may be thought of the ad-
herence to armament as the best
method Of obtaining security, it is i'm
possible to reproach these nations with
being illogical. Universal experience
is on their side. M. BRAND, for ex-
ample, will have an easy task in per-
suading the American people that it
would be national suicide for France
to lay down her arms in the present
state OF Europe, whatever the cost of
maintaining her army may be.
The reasonable pre-condition of
diminishing armed force is the re-
moval of the probability of conflict. 1t
may. of course, be said that if the
relative strength of possible con-
testants remains the same when re-
duced, reduction is not unreasonable.
1t has the evident advantage of saw
ing expense. and, at time when this
is an imperative economy, may be in
itself sufficient reason for reduction.
But if this were the only reason it
would afford no ground for surprise or
admiration.
All the nobility and splendor of a
great national effort arise from the OBJ
ject for which they are put forth; that
is, the policy to which it is related. If
it is aggression. that is, of course, not
commendable. 1t is simply defense, it
implies that one is confronted by a
real enemy. If it is for the purpose of
leadership in ameliorating the condi-
tion Of the world, then the abdication
of power without such amelioration is
remuneration of leadership. And leader
ship should never be renounced until
its end is achieved.
All this conducts US to the inquiry,

WASHINGTON, Nov. .1e.-There
were many flowers in Mr.. Balfour's ad
dress on Monday and a little stone
The flowers were all for the shoulders
Of Secretary Hughes and the little
stone was for the garden of Premier
BRAND. 1t was wrapped up in the fol
lowing sentence:
"a question has not been touched
which every man coming from Europe
must feel to be question of immense
md almost paramount interest; I mean
the heavy burden in land armaments
That is left on one side to be dealt
with by other schemes and in other
ways"
A sweet note of reproach was notice
able in Mr.. Balfour's voice when he
threw his stone. He seemed to say:
"Are we goingNto be alone to mount
on the stage? Will these nations hav-
ing large armies remain in the orchas-
ira stalls?"
Naturally. Premier BRAND picked up
the stone at once. Not only did he de-
clare that he was ready tc climb on the
stage, Dut he wanted TO CllmD on IL as
soon as possible and have big show
and get large audience.
The performance will take place at
the end of the present week or the be-
ginning of next week. 1t will be grand
performance. May say that it will be
a useful performance?
The astounding thing for man com
ing from Europe-except perhaps fol
the suave Mr.. Balfour-s that two sc
different things as the limitation OF
naval armaments and the limitation OF
land armaments may be confused and
put together in the same basket.
Why is the limitation of naval arma-
ments a possible thing? Because there
are only three great naval powers, and
these three great powers are now as
sembled in the Memorial Hall in Wash.
ington. Moreover, these three great
powers are-at least nominally-or
friendly terms. Above all, they are
honorable nations. If they agree to.
gether the whole question Of naval
rivalry among them will be settled
ana there is not the slightest doubt
that each of them will observe the
agreement and stick to its word. But
where in Washington are the *,reat
military powers? Is Germany there
Is Russia there? And, if they are not
