OVER THERE AND OVER HERE
Salvation Army Worthy of Support
Anywhere.

Over there, on the fighting front
when the boys went back to the first
relief zone, as they dragged along, the
first bit of cheer they met was Saliva :
ton Army doughnuts.. Away UP, un-
der fire. in the real trenches, or in what
was left Of q house knocked to pieces
by German shells, the Salvationlsts
made and distributed doughnuts and
home made" pies.
How they. got there, no one knew
How they found places TO set up their
kitchens, no one knew. They were in
forbidden territory. No one but the
army was permitted to be there. But
somehow they got there. Where they
came from, who brought them, how
they got their materials, has not been
told. They just suddenly appeared
and always where they were most
needed.
If you want to feel the. jolt of Il
healthy fist, just say something slight
ing to a duughbOy about what the Sal
vation Army did in France. If you want
to hear English language 'as she is
spoke" with volubility and emphasis
merely intimate to one who saw SER
vice at the front that Salvationist
ever did anything that was not exactly
the right thing over there, or anywhere
Yet what they did in France is just
what they have always done here at
home, and are doing. They pick the
worse Jobs, the toughest places and
the points of danger Did you ever see
in the old days, demure. splendid
Salvation lassie with her poke-bonnet
and her tamborine. walk into a BAR
room and hear the coins jingle in the
tamburine as she passed it from one to
the other who were collected there? II
you did not you were never there. Nor
was this Just in the respectable
saloons. but also in the worst of them
They did not go there just for the
money. 1t was a part OF the saliva
ton campaign. The sight Of the lassie
gave many a tough heart jar and
many a man who had not thought OF
home for years, had the home picture
revived Many one. too, remembered
that there was place he could go and
be welcomed, when too low down to be
received anywhere else. Many q one
has sought that place and performed
his elf-respect and lost manhood.
Can the Salvation Army be repaid
for what it has done and is doing? II
does not ask to be repaid 1t asks nc
reward. 1t does not ask a Victory
Medal nor a Distinguished Service
Medal. 1t only asks support to carry
on. It only asks money to go on with
its work. For Washington this budget
is $50, 600. TO get this amount there
must be several contributions of $1,000
each, others OF $500 and so down, while
there is ample assurance that thous'
ands will give their mites. Will those
who can. give the larger amounts
Surely they will. Wealth does no

WOULD HALT WARSHIP
CONSTRUCTION AT ONCE
Representative Britten Anxious to
Save $4,000, 900 Month as
Result of Parley,

Proposal that all work and expendi-
lures on the nine battleships and six
battle cruisers now under various
stages of construction should be at
once stopped is made by Representa-
tive Fred A. Britten of Illinois, a
member of the naval affairs commit
tee, in a resolution introduced yes

In emphasizing that these ships
would be scrapped If the conference
on limitation of ornaments adopts
the United States plan for naval dis
armament, Representative Britten
said:
"After attending today's conference
and hearing the representatives OF
Great Britain, Japan, France and
Italy express practically unanimous
approval Of the Harding-Hughes pro-
gram for first-line fighting ship re-
tention by their respective govern
ments. it was evident that a con-
siderable saving to the Treasury
might be made by stopping all ex-
penditures on flrst-line ships under

MONTEVIDEO, November 16.-El
Dia, the official organ and property
of Jose Battle y Ordonez, former
president of Uruguay, on comment

Washington says: president Hard

things In the true American fashion,
going to the root of the matter with

have given great example to the
European nations since, despite being
only one step from becoming the first
naval power of the world, the United
States had not hesitated to propose
the reduction of her own navy.
'This action,is all the moro strik-
ing in view of the fact that in a case

for the former would be beyond

AIRCRAFT LEFT OUT
. Of NAVY PROGRAM

. The development and construction
of aircraft is not interfered with in
any way by the plan for the limita-
ton Of naval armaments presented
by the United States IL was pointed
out at the Navy Department yesterday.
There are several reasons for this
the principal one being because of
the great similarity between the mill
tary and naval airplanes and those
for commercial and governmental
purposes. such as the delivery of the
malls.
The airplane, however, is not re-
garded as a weapon of offensive war
fare when 1t comes to the Limitation
Of naval armament by Great Britain,
Japan and the United States. To be
effective in an offensive war be-
tween two Of these nations, it would
be necessary to have plenty Of air
plane carriers, so-called - vessels
equipped especially as mother ships
for these aircraft. The American
plan does not limit the number of air
craft carriers that each navy may
have.
The airplane is regarded. so far as
the three powers concerned in the
plan for Limitation of naval arma-
ment, as defensive weapon entirely.
So the United States, Great Britain
and Japan would be at liberty to
continue with the DEVELOPMENT of
aircraft at will under the proposed
plan.

The young man who translated
Admiral Kato's speech created q
most favorable impression. His

were of a high order. His words
rang out amid intense silence. AS
at the previous session. the really
wonderful ability shown in extern
poraneous translations by Prof.
Camerlynck, who served as inter-
prefer for the French delegation,
caused buzz Of comment. The
pauses entailed by these transla-
tions proved a boon to the news
paper men. especially those on
afternoon papers.
Before the conference. and as the
distinguished personages were
driving up to Memorial Continental
Hall, party bearing a banner an
nouncing that they were world

in front of the building. Other
banners carried. had emblazoned on
them "demandt' made by the pa
raiders on the various countries

Most of these demands dealt with
amnesty to political prisoners.
