FRANCE CANNOT
REDUCE HER ARMY
BRAND Cheered as He Pictured
Country's Danger
GREAT ORATOR AND ACTOR
Secretary Of State Hughes Reports
Progress Toward Realization OF
Plan For Reduction OF
Navies.

Washington.-The third plenary ses.
sion Of the Conference on the Limita.
ton of Armament was called to order
In Continental Hall at 11:01 A. M.
Monday.
After brief speech by Secretary of
State Hughes, chairman of the Con-
ference, in which he said there was
nothing definite to report as regards
naval ornaments or Far East ques-
lions, but that "our expectations in
both are being realized" Premier
Aristide BRAND of France took the
door and, in a speech which was re-
peatedly interrupted by cheering, de-
slared that France, menaced by hos
tile Germany, was unable at present to
reduce her army; that IAN atmosphere
of peace" must first be established.
After his dramatic speech the queN-
tion was referred to committee, where
1t may remain indefinitely, but he re-
ceived at least something of the moral
support he asked for.
A second outstanding feature of the
day was the signing Of the first definite
agreement Of the Conference, by which
all the eight powers participating bind
themselves to respect the territorial
and administrative integrity of China
and afford her free opportunity for de-
velopment Four principles to this ef-
feet were enunciated.
1t was announced that the British
delegates hope that solution of the
Pacific problem will lead to abandon
ment Of the Anglo-Japanese alliance
by producing tripartite agreement,
with the United States participating,
Great Britain's firm stand with the
United States on the five-five-three
naval program caused Japan to waver,
and, after a conference between Sec
rotary Hughes, Mr.. Balfour and Ad-
miral Kato, 1t was stated that progress
had been made on this point.

U. S. TO GIVE SUPPORT
TO CHINESE.

Washington.-The United States
will support heartily much Of
China's plan for settling Far East
ern problems.
This applies particularly to the
open door," to points nine and
ten, which provide for an arrange
ment for peaceful settlemnt of
international disputes in the Far
East" and for reconvening the Far
East Conference from time to time
for determination Of common
policies"
Secretary of State Hughes has
let the Conference know that
America is heartily for the open
door" Great Britain's delegation
shares this view, too.

IRISH SITUATION RESTS.
Negotiations Suspended Pending Con
vention In Liverpool.

London.-All negotiations connected
with the Irish question were expected
to remain suspended until the result
Of the Unionist party convention in
Liverpool is known.
Should the "die-hard" element in the
party dominate, thus pledging the or
ganization automatically to oppose any
concessions to Sim Fem. it was re-
garded as certain that Premier Lloyd
George aud his ministry would be
forced to carry out his threat to re-
sign. There was every indication,
however, that the more liberal ele.
ment would dominate the convention.

chance to send things to be sold. Master Fitz--
warren was getting the Unicorn ready for an
eesher voyage. He called all his servants in
and asked them what they wanted to send.
Dick came with the others, but he had nothing
to send. When it came his time to speak up
he saids
II have nothing in the world but my cat"
"Send that" said the master
Dick felt very sad to send the cat, because
she had become great pet. But finally with
tears m his eyes, he gave her to the captain of
the ship.
After this things did not go well with Dick
for while. He missed his pet and the SER
wants became more cruel to him than ever.
He was so lonely and sad that he decided to
run away.
On the way out Of London he stopped to
New-York tribune., 1921-05-01

look back. And as he stood there the chimes
rang out from Bow Bells. Dick listened and it
seemed that they said to him:
Turn agaia, tuym again, Whittinaton.
Three times Lord Mayor of London"
The bells said this over and over. or Dick
thought they did. He resolved that he would
not be discouraged, and really did turn back
to his masters house.
Now, while Dick was so unhappy. his cat
was having some real adventures. The Uni
corn was captured by pirates, who took every
thing away from the captain and set him and
his men afioat in an open boat The captain
carried Dicks big cat with him. It was the
only thing saved Of the ships cargo.
After adventuring about in the boat the
captain and his men landed on foreign shore.
After many days they found an old friend Of
the captain, man whose life he had once
saved. This man was now q mighty ruler In
the land.
He welcomed the captain and took him to
his palace. Imagine the captains surprise
when ne arrived there to find the place COM
petely overrun with mice. They bothered tho
people Of the house while they ate their meals.
They ran about when guests of the ruler were
trying to talk. And they made SO much noise
at night that one could Sleep
\ can get rid Of these for you," said the
captain.
II you do, will give you anything you
ask" said the ruler.
So the captain brought In Dicks cat. She
made one leap, and began killing mice right
and left. The ruler and his guests looked or,
in amazement.
The great man was so pleased that he kept
his promise. He had the pirates captured and
the ship restored to the captain. Then he
paid the captain thousands of dollars in money
and pearls for the cat.
So when the captain returned to London the
money he brought made Dick rich man.
Years later, Richard Wilmington becama

lures saw no reason why they should make
way for him. They played about his bed and
made so much racket that he could not sleep.
At last Dick decided he would buy cat.
Some one had given him penny. He went
to look for cat, and at one of the gates Of the
city he saw an old woman with great black
cat. He told her he wanted to buy a cat, but
that he could not pay more than penny for it.
The old woman was not inclined to sell at first,
but finally she felt so sorry for the boy that
she gave him the cat and took the penny in
exchange.
Then Dick took the cat home to his attic,
and you may be sure he was not bothered with
rats any more.
Now, Il was the custom In those days, when

BABY PUTS

WONDER what they think I am, these
i people who are continually fussing around
me? They claim to have some degree Of
affection for me, which they show in various
odd ways, but in the matter of clothing they
seem wholly Indifferent to womans needs.
Indeed, they seem to forget that am wom-
an; and that fashions mean as much to me as
to any other woman, young or old. What do
they mean by keeping me in this absurdly long
dress when everybody, themselves included,
is wearing the sensible short skirt?
"To-day they held me in front of window
and said. Baby, see pity treeT and Baby. sec

they had provided me was su s-zrSRlously
