QUICK ACTION ON
 DISARMAMENT IS
 URGED BY BORAH
Issues Sharp Statement Fol- lowing Roots Suggestion That Conference Be De-
 layed After March 4
By Associated Press

Washington. January 22.--A suggestion of Eiihu Root, former Secretary of State, that world conference on disarmament be delayed until after the inaugura tion of President -elect Harding brought a sharp statement from Senator Borah, re- publican, Idaho. author of a pending resolution asking the President to mt tiate negotiations looking to a reduction of naval building by the United States. Great Britain and Japan.
 Delay is one of the methods peculiarly adopted to killing any programme of dis armament" said Senator Borah, adding that he regretted exceedingly that Mir
 Root should throw his great influence against the progress that Is being made
 Tt may be possible said the senator. "and presume 1t is probable, that they can stop the passage of this resolution, but they cannot stop the movement
 Mir. Roots suggestion was contained in a letter read today before the House naval committee by Chairman Butler. He said he felt strongly that steps should be taken promptly after the new admin istration is established to bring about s general agreement on disarmament, but that the precise methods of procedure , ought not to be determined until after MT. Harding and his Secretary of State have had an opportunity to inform themselves and to reach conclusions as to the way which affords the best pros- pect of success."
 DIFFICULT SUBJECT
 The former Secretary of Sttae also said he did not feel like hasarding an opinion'' as to what reply other govern A. lwt. l. octl lrs,f fer the American government that repro sentatives be appointed to disarmament conference He declared that the suh- ject was especially difficult because of the disturbed conditions of eastern Europe and because too many nations have special approximations of danger against which they wish to guard" Senator Dorun said in his statement that if the suggestion for delay mad felt very much like deferring, but he added that he doubted if Mir HardinE would wish to say that he wants delay | in this matter until he can inform h'm- 1 self as to conditions with which I have no doubt he is entirely familiar" "'I doubt aiso," Senator Borah said. I'll Mir. Harding would wish to say that n' Is going to appoint Secretary of State l who Is not entirely familiar with the sit uation. so far as the underlying prsnci- 1 ples are concerned
 The Idaho senator added that if MT.
 Root or others would suggest some al tsrnative plan which would expedite. and not delay. disarmAlnent. ha would sup, !, port 1t gladly.
 Senator Borah said the treaty of Yer saiiles had what amounted to pledge 1 for disarmament. but that two yeArB after ! its drafting ''the most stupendous pro grammes for armaments ever known I have been initiated by at least four o1 the great allied and associated powers

 County onicers are frank to say they believe she was kidnapped. Neither of the two will say. All have been taken to the Jones county poorhouse at ElIisvilIe.
 The physical condition of the babe, who stares with wide eyes at unaccust0med sights and shrtnks as an animal might from the kindly hands of we'll meaning persons, has led the authorities to believe she has not been with her strange "guardinnso very long. Plump, apparently we'll nourished and attractive, the little one dofs not seem to have undergone any of the hardshfps which have scared those in whose company she was found in the woods near the village of Lux. High water drove them from their accustomed haunts near the river.
 WIFE IS "TRAPPED"

 This thought was ehared by tho depart Ing Russians and many of the hundreds who showered them with kisses and crief of "comrade" as they stepped off Amer ican soil.
 "Ambassador' Martens, just befort sailing. said his absence would be only temporary and would be wondered ai in the near future, when the United States and soviet Russia get together or friendly terms"
 He expressed no satisfaction in leaving the country. which for more than two years disdained to recognize him off cially and then ordered him to depart But he insisted 1t would be only little while until he or some other "ambas sador" would come to America from soviet Russia.
