British and French in Clash

1t is true there is good deal Of
| feeling between the British and the
French, and between the Italians and
j the French. Both these nations feel
more resentment over Mr.. Briand's S
speech than either of them has pub
I licly uttered. There was gossip with
in the conference room to the effect
/ that when the Italian chief delegate
replied 10 Mr.. Brands speech. it had
/ been his intention to do some plain
1 talking. But any bellicose intentions
I he may have had were made impos-
siblc by the generosity of the speech
| in which Mr.. Balfour replied Mr..
Balfour was undoubtedly using the
arts of diplomacy. and if he had ex-
presse dthe true feelings of the Brit
ish he would have talked with some
zest.
Nevertheless Mr.. Balfour and the
others who are really dominant in
conference understand the situation
and are willing to let the reduction
in the size of Frances military es-
tablishment wait, Great Britair's
feeling about France is not solely di-
rected toward the size Of her army
but in a larger degree at her attitude
about economic matters on the con-
tinent of Europe. AS between France
and Italy. however, there is real feel
ing about the size of their respective
armies. Everybody believes. how
ever, that sooner of later France and
Italy will get together on this sub
iect and hold a little" bush league"
conference of their own. AS an econ
ornic matter neither of these two
nations can continue to bear the
burden of an unduly heavy military
establishment Time and the potent
influence of taxation will take care
of that
A good deal of the spirit of pessi-
mism entertained by some persons
here may arise from the fact that
many of those who are recording the
events of the conference for the pub
lie are pretty hard worked. III. G.

BRANDS SPEECH
CONTINUED from Page One)

surtaxes had been written by BRAND
to the French Chamber of Deputies,
and if the Chamber of Deputies had
done what our Congress did. namely.
refused to follow Harding's leader
ship, then Harding, if he were the
Premier of France, would have gone
out of office automatically and the
leader of the opposition would have
taken his place.
Most of the foreign delegates to
the conference who followed this epi-
sode in Congress were puzzled to un-
derstand how it was that the day af-
ter that episode Mr.. Harding was still
in the White House. BRAND in his
speech. on Tuesday had to avoid saw
ing anything that might have caused
the present exiCencies Of French
politics to vote him out of office be-
fore he left America. That speech
was what American politicians call "a
leave to address the House" speech,
or "a leave to print" speech. 1t was
designed as many speeches in Con-
gress are designed. not to affect pend
ing legislation. but to be read by the
voters back home.
The other members of the confer
ence understood Mr.. Brands position
perfectly and as politicians. sympath-
iZed with it. They were entirely will
ing to let his take a position which
was practically a refusal to submit to
limitation of armament on land.
Brands Speech Prearranged
The concession that led Mr.. BRAND
to make the speech he did is a sign
of the success of the conference, not
of its failure.
France. expected BRAND to get
something big out of the conference
She expected him to bring home a
guarantee of support from Great
Britain and the United States. 1t
did not take BRAND long to learn
that he could not get that. Since he
had to go home empty handed, the
conference was quite willing he
should be permitted to make the
speech he did. That was all carefully
arranged before hand.
It is true that the limitation of land
armament is officially on the confer
ence agenda. But the men who are
dominant in the conference always
regarded it as a minor subject. and
are not much disturbed by the fact
that nothing is to be done about it.
The two main subjects of the confer
ence, the limitation or armament on
the sea and problems of the Far East,
are progressing with speed and
degree of satisfaction that, literally,
nobody anticipated.
Mr.. Hughes in his speeches and
discussions always shows uncon-
sciously what he regards the main
purpose of the conference.
Whenever Mr.. Hughes gets around,
as he does with a frequency which !
is in itself significant. to saying that
offensive war on the sea must be
made impossible he puts an en-
phasis on the words which reveal !
completely what he conceives the
main purpose to be. That purpose is
already achieved. All the discussion
is about details, and no one of these !
details will be settled in the end in
any such way as to jeopardize the
main purpose.

During the months Of May and June
contagious disease were reported as
follows;
Scarlet fever, 6; measles, 3; pneu.
monia, q; chicken pox, 2, and tuber
culosis 2.
Sixty houses, with total of 10j
cases, were quarantined for smallpox,
all Of which have been released with
the exception of three.
or the los cases, IS occurred in
children, one of whom had ever been
vaccinateG.
or the 20 cases occurring in adults
elderly patients had been yaccinate1
great many years ago.
In several of the families quaran
tined some of the children had pre-
viously been vaceinated, and none Of
these contracted the disease, while
practically all of the unvaccinated
ones did.
Prior to the outbreak of the cpl.
demic less than per cent of the chill
dren of school age had been vacci-
mated. Following the outbreak ap.
proximately 1900 persons, mostly chi,

severe.
Three warrants were served by the
health department for violation of
sanitary regulations and in each in
stance fines and costs were assessed.
On account Of the unusually hot
weather extra precautions should be
taken in the disposal of garbage, and
