q vouptuous woman slowly rising off his body.
In her half shut eyes strange light half triumph, half
contemplating VAMPIRE.
vampire is an animal that lives by sucking the blood
Of it's victims. Because of this picture have to

wrought in the life of that e
The picture has its message for many man in his

1t into just such an that our statesmen
dealists at Washington have been attempting to in
volve
What did the European and Japanese representatives
give in the diplomatic exchange that crysalzed into the
so-called Naval Disarmament, Pacific and Chinese
treatiesi
Well they gave up building bateshps that the whole
world knew they were too poor to construct anyway
They gave up territorial concessions in China which
they knew they could not long hold against the rising
national consciousness of China Finally their chief gift
was fine words fattery, caresses.
Well that's what they gave What did agree to
give them in returni We stopped the construction Of
real battleships
Ours about to leave the ways Englands Hood
type ships were only paper. We surrender naval
supremacy when had it in grasp-the sure pro-
lection of our shores. We agreed to Englands rules
limiting the of submarines in time
Rules which leading British naval authority says
nation will observe when its national existence is threat
ened.
We poor simple ideasts, would start in observ-

Do you remember the definition of words" given by
Talleyrand that model of all European diplomats

What else did they get of in Washington Money!
No. They already had money. Over eleven billion
dollars of it. All they wanted permission to keep it.
A certain number of wellAngliczed Americans say,
eyes let them keep it,
| European diplomats pleased with the Wash
ngton conference that they want another in Europe to
| talk Inter Allied Finance.
That means cancellation of debts
We cancel theirs. Nothing they cancel for u.s.
Ever think how strange it is that the European diplo
mats insist that they, gutted with the spoils OF war,
cannot pay INTEREST the eleven billion
they owe usi
| But they insist that poverty-stricken, dismembered
Germany can pay them INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL
on the thirtytwo billions they say she them. . @.
So she figures it belongs to her. She is nobodys fool
No wonder Lloyd George the British Premier, is enthu
siastc about the outcome of the Washington conference
When Mr. Balfour the head of the British Mission at
that conference returned to London the other day. tho
government gave him luncheon at which Premier Lloyd
George said:
| We are here To express our warm admiration for the
