CHINESE SEEK ID
 DISBAND MILITARY
Minister Of Justice Named as
 Chiei Advocate

Picking, July 7.-Dr. Wang Chung
 hui, Minister Of Justice. who was a
 delegate to the Washington confer
 ence, has been chosen by Chinese
 merchants, students and others to
 urge the disbanding of China's vast armies. Dr. Wang said he believes the greatest obstacle to a prosperous China is the existence of large mili- tary class.
 The powers included as part of the official record of the Armament Linn itation Conference at Washington a suggestion that China abolish her armies" said Dr. Wang in an inter- view today. T am convinced that they were giving us warning that not more foreign aid may be expected until we get rid of militarism. It is estimated that 1,5oo,ooo soldiers are supported by the Chinese people and that these soldiers absorb half the nations revenue. Viewed from its economic aspects alone China is handicapped so long as these soldiers are withheld from industry. To convince the Chin- ese people of the gravity of the prob lem I have translated and am dis tributing widely the speech delivered by Sir Robert Borden, the delegate from Canada at the Washington Con- ference. Sir Roberts speech warned that we cannot continue to hold the sympathy of the world unless we re- duce our armies to the actual needs of defense"
 pr. Wang's views are reflected in the Chinese press. Recently the edi- tors and publishers of various Chin csc papers held a public demonstra- ton against the existence of large Chinese armies. AS an indication of the drain on the national resources it was stated that the various military leaders owe the railroad administra- tion o,000,oo0 for transporting trops since the overthrow the Manchu dynasty.

TOO MUCH RUBBER
 STOCK IN MARKET
Colonial Secretary Reports Hard
 Times May Follow

London, July 7.-The rubber in dustry in British colonies and protecto- rates has hard times ahead of 1t. That is the opinion expressed by the committee appointed by the Colonial secretary to investigate the situation.
 The committee has just made it's re- port. It says the total world stocks of crude rubber at the beginning of the year were estimated at 310,000 tons. That was much more than the world required. Therefore it advises Win ston Churchill. the colonial secretary, to contemplate with grave concern the position of the industry in Brit ish colonies and protectorates unless steps are taken to reduce stocks and further to prevent over production of rubber so long as the potential normal production continues to be substantial ly in excess of consumption" The committee adds it is of the opinion that consumption is not likely to over take production for some years.
 There is no doubt" the commit tee goes on to say, that much can be done in the direction of stimulat-
 Ing new and extended uses of rub ber." But they may not help much for the committee takes cate to add
 This cannot in itself provide an i'm mediate solution of the problem, since much time must necessarily elapse be- ore any new and extended uses of -ubber can become sufficiently opera i've to bring about materially in creased consumption. Further it should be realized that improved methods of manufacturing rubber products. such as tires, undoubtedly oroong the life of the article and con- equently curtail the demand for raw 
 Tn the matter of the compulsory re- friction of the production of raw rub ger, the committee says the Dutch government, whose lands also produce much rubber, will have to be con- ulted.

VIEWING WITH A

The alleged prevalence of crime and immortality is causing
lot of good people a great deal of anxiety of late and widespread
attention has been called to it together with learned essays upon
the probable cause and psychological reasons therefor. Notwith-
standing the fact that crimes of every cahber are daily dished up
in the newspapers of the land under screaming headlines, it is
pretty safe to assume that in reality the percentage of criminals
is about what is has been and likely always will be. With the ending
of the great conflict at arms, the newspaper man was confronted
with the necessity of making sensational headlines During the
war there was nothing to it. The readers interest was secured
in advance and the makeup mans job a snecure. Everything in
the way of headlines was readymade and the first page of every
newspaper was overcrowded with real news.
Since those easy times for the writing men it has been vastly
different and crime has practically been the only source of sem
sation with which to emblazon the front page. A six line story of
a piker holdup of war times is now stretched into a two column
of messy details which serve to fill up the paper and prove
nothing in the way of criminal statistics. So far as eur knowledge
goes there does not appear to besany noticeable increase in the
criminal court registers, nor does the population of our jals and
penitentiaries appear to be gaining to any alarming extent. For
the major offenses there is shown a decrease in fact, according to
the census reports from most states, and also in minor offenses
the exception of beetlegging, which of course is a most nat
condition.
This old world may be slipping a little in places but there is
cause for any acute alarm at the present time.
BY the way, what has become of the Cooperators Congress
used to meet every spring in Great Falls? We are really
beginning to miss the eloquence of Dunn-Wheeler & Co.

popularity of the automobile which makes the open air and travel
a luxurious proceeding with all the advantages that outdoor
life has to offer. However, it isn't everybody that can afford
even the cheapest of cars, but nevertheless they are not barred
from the great out doors, nor are they forbidden a great deal of
pleasure that can be d derived in the open air.
Walking is old fashioned and a slow means of covering ground
in these days, but at that. it is one of the very best of exercises
and entered into IN the spirit of spring and a reawakening world,
an exquisite pleasure can be extracted from a days outing on your
own good feet. Tramp it up hill and down, through the woods and
over the fields, across the creeks and down the willow-lined
streams. Observe the budding trees and springing grass, the early
opening wild flowers, the independent gopher and numbering
grounding turning In the mouth of their burrows to take another
look with sharp eyes at the unwelcome intruder. See the changes
in things animate and inanimate. A day or even an hour or two
spent thus will bring to mind a thousand half-forgotten Incidents
of other days and years that will bring laughter and perhaps tears.
values of lie's passing days will appear.
You will also get an appetite that will bring real enjoyment
for a substantial meal You win accumulate a blister or two on
unaccustomed feet, but the old arm chair viii be all the more well
come, and finally you viii have something pleasant to think about,
for you will be aware with first hand evidence that the promise of
spring is about to be fulfilled.
