action, for reasons that are obvious.
But the mepe fact that people do
not like war does not sufficiently
explain the existence of anti-mili-
tarism. Undue adherence or fear OF
war. however. supplies the soil to
which the seeds of anti-militarism
may be sowA. Many political leaders
and writer's accomplish this by per-
sonifying the evils of war In the
men trained to fight In war (the
officers of the army and navy and
making them appear to be the insti.
gators Of war.
It 10 not difficult to do this. DO.
cause army and navy officers are
forced. even In times Of peace, con-
tinually to call the people from their
peaceful dreams to the necessity Of
prparing for war: and . proper de-
sire to prepare for war b easily
made to appear ~ . brutal desire to
engage In war.
The most conspicuous single case
was that Of Field Marshal Roberts.
For several years before the world
war broke out. though he was nearly
eighty years old. he made the most
strenuous exertions to get England
prepared to meet the attack Of Ger
many. which he and all other mill.
tary and naval leaders plainly saw
advancing. His reward was that
despite the inestimable services he
had rendered to England) he YVES
held up almost to obloquy by Eng
lish women and other anti.militar.
lists.
1t Is admitted now that II his
warnings had been needed. England.
France and the United States would
have been prepared for the war, and
would not now be sunk in the de-
plorable financial and economic con.
dition In which they really are.
In our own country we can see
that great progress in anti-militar.
ism has taken place in even the
short period since the armistice was
signed. 1t would be an exaggera-
ton to say that there Is a latent feel
ing Of antagonism toward our men
who actually fought in Europe ind
returned to US; but that there Is
such a feeling in the minds Of some
people there can be no doubt. Tn,
recent attack by Senator Watson,
not only on the army in general. but
on even the officers who were the
witnesses before the Senate Com
mittee. Is but one instance among
many.
Doubtless. one cause Of this is the
wholly natural attitude of those sol.
diers who returned to us from
France. They saved the United
States from humiliation. II not more;
and yet they have been so neglected
since that thousands Of them feel bit
terly about 1t. and denounce tho in
gratitude Of the Republic.

Second. Proposition.

When the delegates heard from the
country. Mr.. Hughes presented re-
vised proposition as to submarines.
It was that Great Britain and the
United States should cut of about
one-third of their submarines and
Japan. Italy and France should keep
the number they now have. That
was a step toward the only right
attitude. but q very little one. Com
plete destruction and agreement to
build no new ones Ia the only posi-
ton an enlightened nation should
take.
have already, in these articles,
pointed out that II Is far more i'm
portant to limit land forces than
naval strength. We await that re-
duction as an important test Of
securing real reduction of war
agencies. II all the navies Of the
world were sunk. the great menace
Of war would remain in large stand.
Ing armies. more costly and more
dangerous to world peace than all
the navies built since the days OF
Nelson and John Paul Jones.
The difficulty of specific control
Of poison gas emphasizes the i'm.
portance Of international agree
ments to prevent it's use. It Ii
urged that no rulea ran f,,Jlv rro
tect the nations from the surrep-
ttious use Of the chemicals which

1t Is also true. to less extent. Of all

ment Any nation, ready to regard
its honorable agreement as q scrap
Of paper, can 60 back on any re-
duction Of armament to which II
asserts. But any conference to
make war more difficult that fhils
to do everything possible to outlaw
poison gas Of every character has
failed at the crucial point, perhaps
the most important one.
The world wishes the result Of the
conference to insure peace and will
welcome every gesture and every
step looking toward international
agreement to remove the causes of
war and reduce the instruments
which tend to bring on war or make

The location Of the stimulating liquid

fldential matter by a ruling of Surrogate
John p. Cohalan before whom the case

Hattie Goldstein, widow of Bernard
Goldstein sought the removal of Louis
Goldstein as coexecutor of the estate on
the charge that she had been unable to
obtain any satisfactory information con-
corning the disposition of the liquor.
This motion was withdrawn after some
of the differences had been smoothed
out and Mrs. Smiths attorney had been
promised an inventory of the liquor and
its location. Mrs. Smith alleged that H.

GIRL WHO SUED BARON
ON WAY BACK TO PARIS
But Not Because Rothschild Is
There, Says LaWyer.

The mystery" of the so-called disap-
pearance of Mile. Marie Porquet about
the time of the filing of her suit against
Baron James Henri de Rothschild was
cleared up yesterday by the admission
of William NJ. K. Olcott OF her coun-
sci that the young Parisienne had sailed
the previous day for herphome.
Her sailing had not ben divulged at
the time, Mr.. Olcott said. because Mile.
Porquet had desired to remain in seclu-
sion and escape the interviewers and
photographers that she was certain
would be clustered at the pier.
There was nothing mysterious about
Mile. Porquet's departure for France"
said Mr.. Olcott. 1T was according to
prearranged plan to return as soon
as the suit had been filed. All the pa
pers and evidence have been left in
the possession of her lawyers and her
appearance will not be required here
until the suit Is brought to trial, which
may not be for a year"
The attorney wished it distinctly un-
derstood that his clients sailing had
nothing to do with the fact that the
young Baron de Rothschild was at pres
ent In Paris. She simply wanted to re-
turn to her family, he said. He added
that he had received radio message
Yesterday from the ship, but would not
reveal it's contents.

ACCORDION'S LIQUID NOTES

instrument Makers Trade Takes Jump, They Assert,
When His Products Play No Music at All
Still Found in Shop.

In the old days. when gin was not
synthetic and there were no player
pianos and monographs to drown the
romance of music, accordion players
the dilettante and the virtuoso alike
used to come from both the East Side
and the West Side to the shop OF John
Belizsky at 635 East Twelfth street
II was generally conceded then that John
Belizsky made the best accordions south
of Spuyten Duyvil. In the last few
years. however, the accordion has gone
the way of the straight razor. the han
som cab and the chaperon.
That is why Fifth Deputy Police Com
missioner Gillespie was surprised the
other morning when an anonymous let
Gordon players by day and by night could
be seen going into the shop of John Be-
lizsky. Was the accordion business in
for revival. or more likely was there
something fishy about the whole busi-
ness? Gillespie conferred with Inspector
Samuel Bolton of the special service
squad and askel him II he had any good
accordion players on his staff.
Inspector Belton brought his men be-
fore him and learned that Detective
Eddie Plagge. on his nights off, en-
tertained his neighbors In The Bronx
with such accordion music as they never
heard before. And Detective Charlie

Gordon well. also could yodel with con-
siderable proficiency.

married after a courtship of three weeks.
Recently she has been employed as an
instructor for women in aviation at
Mineola.
Living with Mrs. Catelano was her
mother, Nine. Lima Sarti, an opera sing
er. formerly connected with the La Scala
di Milano. Mrs. Sarti has been giving
vocal lessons at the house and 1t was
through this fact that evidence was OBJ
tanned for a search warrant.
The warrant had been issued by JUS
tice Donnelly in Supreme Court on evil
dence obtained by a policewoman who
posed as a musical student and took
four lessons from Mrs. Sarti. At the
final lesson she said she would bring her
sweetheart around the next night to pay
the bill. Detective De Lucca of Inspector
Bolan's staff called with the police
woman and paid for the lesson. They
said they got wine.
In the raid the police seized two hy-

tanning white powder. Two jugs OF
wine and another gallon of wine were
found in the house, as we'll as bottles
labelled as well known brands of whisky

followed numerous complaints from
neighbors that loud parties were held

was unable TO substantiate his state

use. She admitted giving the officer a

several accordions in the windows. A
dozen men. each carrying an accordion
under his arm, made their way to the
shop during the afternoon. They would
remain inside only a few minutes, and,
in response TO the detectives inquiries,
they said they had come to have Be-
lizslky made few repairs on their ac-
cordions.
After time Plagge and, Yost went

him one and he started playing
