The appropriations of the five great
powers for military and naval pur-
poses In the year 1920 alone reached
q total Of $1e,4422 PSI, 1O1, a sum only
about $2,OO0,O00.OO0 more than the
total for the whole fourteen years be-
fore the war. y ~
. It all comes down to this 80 far as
you are concerned:
Every morning when you 60 to
work. or when you stay at home sick
on a working day, or even II you
are out Of a job, 1t has been arranged
for you to pay your fair share out
Of what you earn or should earn, Of
yer 100000 a day for the support
OF the army and navy. That Is the
estimate for the fiscal year 1902
over 100000 a day. I have General
Pershing's word for 1t. Yod viii have
to pay 1t. Five million dollars every
working day is a pile Of money to
spend for insurance against attack.
And Of course that Is not all the
cost. What Is the big ideaf What do
you think about it? You viii have to
pay the bill. Do you think about It
at all? General Pershing does. This
is what he thinks:
"As we consider the causes of the
World war and comprehend its hor
rors, every thinking man and woman
must feel that measures should be
taken to prevent another such cal
amity. One step In that direction
would be to reduce expenditures for
armament. Our own estimates for
naval and military purposes contem-
plate an appropriation for the fiscal
year 1922 of over 100000 for every
working day In the year. 1t Is q
gloomy prospect that the nations plan
expenditures greater than ever before
In peacetimes. II, ZIa.
at would appear that recen ex-
periences should be enough TO con-
vince everybody Of the danger Of q
renewal OF this competition. But one
nation cannot reduce ornaments I'M
less all do. It Is time that enlightened
people everywhere should undertake
to reach some rational agreement
which would not only relieve the
world Of Its heavy financial burden
but which In itself would 90 far to-
ward the prevention OF war. We are

should be unwilling to consent in

Otherwise, may we not seriously ask

ROBBERS ESCAPE AFTER

About IL o'clock Friday night the

parcel post package and box. which
upon being opened was found to con

mail of great value was on the train

After going through the mail car the
two men appeared at the door cf the

brief survey, decided not to hold up
tie passengers. 1t is believed that the
bandits were local men and when they
saw that Judge F. d. Lame was one

tn" attempt for fear of recognition by
th. jrtte.
The hold-up delayed the train for
about twenty minttes and when the
men had finished tker work warned
the train crew to wait another half
hour before leaving. This delay gave
the robbers time to make their get.
