| IN FIGHTING FORCE
Gen. Pershing, Senator Lodge
and Gen. Harris DepIore
I House Action.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
BOSTON, April THE action of
Congress in proposing to reduce the
fighting force of the country was de-
plored last night by Gen. John j.
Pershing. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
and Maj. Gen. Harries, who spoke at
4 diner given by the Greater Boston
Chapters of the Military Order of
the World War
Senator Lodge, commenting on the
action of the House in cutting down
the naval personnel and reducing the
appropriations for the National Guard,
declared that It was the duty of the
country to keep the Navy under the
terms of the naval treaty ''in the
very highest condition of perfection"
The proposal to cut the Navy per-
sonnel to 5000 men. he said, would
mean going below what we agreed
to in the treaty"
Senator Lodge agreed with Maj.
Gen. Harries that the proposed Army
of $4,000 men was not enough for
"the ordinary police duty which the
Army of the United States has to per-
FORM
Gen. PershinE's Warning.
Gen. Pershing warned members of
the order that there is an absolute
dangerous to reduce
Maj. Gen. Harries. speaking as COM
mander of the order. said that the
proposed economies were largely the
result of reaction from the war.
we never think of the cost Of un-
preparedness" he said. I'VE probably
never will until we have suffered at
least one great disaster.
The real danger lies in combining
thoughtless and emotional desire
for peace, which can never be until
the revelation of St. John becomes an
established fact.
why must we always murderously
send unframed men to battle? We
have always done SO. Don't you
think We ought to give our men
fighting chance"
Discusses Arms Conference.
Senator Lodge. speaking of the re-
suits of the arms conference. said
that the nations Signatory to the ma
val treaty were left with strong ma
ries, "well balanced and entirely suf-
ficient for defense" The United
States. he added, remained ''in rela-
tion to the other nations in great
strength"

the United States at this juncture to

must live up to that agreement.

economies of the worst sort, and we
are likely to indulge in them if We

Turning to the Army Senator
Lodge declared that the Senate would
make stand ito try to keep the
American Army what it ought to be
under the conditions of peace.
1T is not promoting peace for the
United States to cut it's Army below

Evening star., 1922-04-07


In the troubled days following
the armistice. the nations Of the
earth sought some expedient to
remove the possibility of another
such destructive outbreak as that
Of 1914-18. Europe was In a tur-
moil as an aftermath Of the war.
Even more portentious, cloud Of
possible conflict hung over the Pa
cific, where a great people lay
shackled, and where fresh causes
of friction were rising monthly be-
tween the various powers having
material interests in the east.
In America, a critical electoral
campaign was fought on interna-
tional issues. Mr.. Harding, who
emerged as President, repeatedly
declared that he would make some
move to check the constant dnft
toward war in the Pacific, and to
in full blast among the leading
naval powers. After his inaugu.
ration, agitation in the Senate and
elsewhere prompted speedy meas
ures toward redemption Of these
pledges.
Great Britain. at the council Of
dominion premiers in June. 1921,
imperial policy rendered 1t neces-
sary to discontinue the alliance
with Japan (Which the United
States had always regarded with
distaste). Britain also felt that
continuation Of naval building
would be perilous to her financial
fabric. Hence, the leaders Of the
fntInd
that both internal and foreign pol.
icies of each rendered some sort OF
bold diplomatic step necessary.
America took the initiative. Pres
ident Harding and his advisors
concluded that readtustment OF
far eastern affairs. and q curb on
naval armamehts. which this would
stride toward realization of world
economic and political stability.
The President, therefore, in July.
1921. issued an invitation to Great
Britain. France, Italy, Japan.
China. Belgium, Holland and Por-
tugal to meet in Washington in
4, conference on the limitation Of ar
maments and far eastern anairs.
All eagerly accepted.
At the first session Of the confer
ence. which assembled in Wash
ington November IL. 1921, Mr..
Hughes, American Secretary OF
State. presented the startling
American program for drastic linn
itation of naval armament. This
program formed the basis of the
naval treaty which was finally
adopted by the conference. The
conference Immediately organized
itself and started consideration of
matters on the agenda. Proceed
ing with the utmost frankness, the
delegates exchanged views, sub
mitted proposals and reached deci-
sions. Intrigue and covert diplo-
macy were singularly absent. The
public was kept thoroughly in
formed on every angle of the pro-
ceedings. Affecting as they did
national considerations of the
highest Importance. negotiations
were often delicate, and on many
points protracted. But the spirit
of cooperation and determination
to succeed overcame every crisis,
and the structure of achievement
was gradually erected. On Feb
ruary S, 1922. after three months
of fruitful labor, the conference
adjourned sine die.
The work accomplished was tre-
mendous-more than any reasonable
man had dared predict. Agreement

Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Take Salts and Get Rid
 of Uric Acid

Rheuma tism IS no respecter of age. sex. color or rank. If not the most dangerous of human afflictiohs, it Is one Of the most painful. Those sub Ject to rheumatism should eat less meat. dress as warmly as possible, avoId any undue exposure and, above all drink lots of pure water.
 Rheumatism is caused by uric acid whicL Is generated in the bowels and absorbed n the blood It is the func- ton ot the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast 1t out In the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means af freeing the blood of this impurtty. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and slug gish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accommodating and circulating through the system eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism
 At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts; put tablespoon ful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for week. This Is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are fubjec, to rheumatism.-Adv.
