CHILE GOES ON RECORD AS
OPPOSING ALL ARMAMENTS

SANTIAGO, Chile, Sept. 12-The
government of Chile has taken def
mite steps bring about inclusion of
the question of the limitation Of
naval and land ornaments through
out South America in the program
of the Pan-American conference to
be held in this city mex March.
Formal announcement has been
made to the committee on disarma-
ment of the League of Nations, at
Paris by Manuel Rivas Vicuna, the
Chilean delegate, to the effect that
Chile was proceeding to this end.
The Chilean foreign office in this
connection, calls attention again to
the agreement with Argentine made
20 years ago in which the limita-
ton of ornaments was a feature.
This convention set forth. among
other things, that in order to set at
rest any cause of disquietude or
suspicion, both Argentine and Chile
would desist from purchasing new
warships and would not accept war
ships already ordered; that both
would reduce existing naval forces
and not increase them for a period
Of five years without eighteen
months notice to the other party to
| the convention, and that neither
party would sell a warship to any
power having a pending question
with the other party.

SWEDISH BOYS NEED NOT
RUN AWAY To Be SEAMEN

STOCKHOLM, Sept. PA new
help to Swedish lads considering
their life occupation, and probably
a unique thing in the world, is the
system recently inaugurated where
by young men are allowed to try out
service in the Swedish Royal Navy
voluntarily and without being under
oath, in order to find u whether
they are called to the life of a naval
officer or not.
College men sixteen or seventeen
years of age who think they may
want to enter the navy after grad
uation go aboard battleships and
smaller naval craft as cadets under
Instruction. They mess with the
crew and work under the same con-
ditions as seaman, except that they
pay for their meals and may pick
UP their bags and go ashore for
good whenever they please. They
not only get a practical knowledge
but they may also post the watch,
serve as coXwains of the ships
boats, and in general test out their
abilities to command.
The battleship Queen Victoria,
the stationship Svea, and a number
IF smaller vessels are providing this
unusual opportunity for young men,
who may in the end discover that
they are better fitted to become
statesmen than naval officers, Thus
this vocational innovation is bene-
fetal to the navy as we'll as to the
youth, who is given a chance to
avoid making a mistake.

HUNGRY AMERICANS IN

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 12:-WHen
an enterprising American woman IN
Mexico City recently opened a Hole
in the WALL catering to the ex-
elusive tastes of homesick skaters
who tire of chiles and ~frijoles and
yearl for hotcakes and douGhnuts,
she started something. An epidemic
OF shops. restaurants and the Ike,
reminiscent of back home" has
broken out and the Americans are
showing their loyalty by patroh!H'nS
then. literally.
A stroll down MADEIRA avenue dis
closes a white-capped, w~hite-apron-

States.
1t remained. however, for several
San Franciscans to reap a rich mar
vest from homesick Americans.
They started a cantina and they
christened it "Dinty Moore's," and
to the eternal glory OF American
citizenship may it be said that they
have enlarged the place three times

PROHIBITION Law IS
DENOUNCED BY SILzER

METUCHEN, Sept. 12:-Judge
George S. Silzer. Democratic candi-
date for nomination for governor of
New Jersey, issued a statement to-
day in which he declared that edu-
cation and not prohibition was the
proper solution of the liquor prob
lem.
The statement said in part:
prohibition has resulted in
chaotic conditions. Prohibitions
worst result has been to make this
nation a whiskey drinking people.
The effective method of bringing
about so great a change in the
habits of a people is by education
and not by prohibition. Moral pro-
gress is made in the wills and con-
sciences of men, not by coersive
laws. Law follows, rather than pre-
cedes. Legislation often fails, edu-
cation never does.
Human nature is obstinate and
resists when told it must or must
not. Education is persuasive and
compelling
Judge Silzer repeated his stand,
declaring that light wine and beer
properly regulated would solve the
liquor problem.
