WAR PROMOTER FIND PLENTY OF
 ARMS EUROPE

1 PARIS, Jan. 5.-The fact tbat there 1 is still large underground trade in
 munitions of war throughout Europe
 has been disclosed through the re- cent charges of British newspapers
 that the French government had sup
 piled the Turkish Nationalist army
 with the wherewith-a to defeat the Greeks, and possibly to defeat the British in the vicinity of Constantin- ople.
 Information reaching Paris is be- | lieved to disprove this broadcast statement against the French. On the contrary, it is affirmed that no small part of the Turkish military supplies was obtained in London, through a firm partly British, and certainly with no Turk sympathies. When 1smet Pasha, head of the Turkish peace delegation at Lausanne and organizer of the main Turkish army, was in Paris lately he said: My war materials were obtained from American, British, Italian, French, Greek and Russian sources; /; I played no favorites.
 Much of it came from the Greeks themselves" Ismet Pasha continued. q waited until I had a good supply on hand, collected by agents operating in Europe. I did not waste any of my supplies until I was ready for a gen. eral drive against the Greeks in Au- gust. Like the American officers at Bunker Hill, I instructed my artillery and infantry officers to wait until they saw the whites of the eyes of the enemy, and then to shoot. When the Greeks began to retreat, we got the very large stores they had col lected We are grateful to them for some very fine field guns, made in England.
 There does not seem to be much sentiment in this business of furnish ing munitions to countries anxious to fight each other The dealers will sell to all corners so long as cash is paid on delivery There is firm op- erating in Holland that will sell any kind of gun in any quantity, and de- liver it on the high seas if ports are lacking. Firms in London will do the same. Trieste, at the head of the Adriatic, has become notorious as place to buy war munitions. There are other agents for war goods locat- ed in Alexandria, in Constantinople, in various places in the Balkans, and i'll Paris.

LAUSANNE IS JEALOUSRUMP
 CONVENTIONS

LAUSANNE, Jan. 5.-In ancient times Lausanne was a series of vineyards scattered along the jagged foothills overlooking Lake Lemen The vineyards have given way to immense resort hotels and boarding schools, among which winding roads loop the loop, and cog railways afford transportation to folks who are in a hurry.
 Delegates to the Lausanne Confer ence have discovered that whenever one wants to go anywhere in Lau- same, one starts in the opposite di- rection and is liable to recross his path several times before arriving at his destination. There is no such thing as straight street line in Lausanne. Things which are not curved are angular. Even the bridges which span the numerous ravines are ssldom straight. Streets, chruches, houses and parks are scattered over the irregular heights in helter-skelter manner which gives the city great charm, but is maddeing to newspaper correspon. dents and delegates who lack the mountain climbing ability of a chois and find it necessary to visit the scattered delegations and conference centers.
 Lausanne chief business center is located about half way up the mountainside and adjoins the Casino, where the opening session of the conference was held. The Turkish and French delegations live at the Palace Hotel which is on the same

COLOR OF SOUTH LIFE IS FAST
 DISAPPEARING

HONOLULU, Jan. 5.-The glamOr, romance and adventure of the South Seas are disappearing before the spread of modern methods of industry, education and living, according to j. F. G. Stokes, ethnologist attached to the Bishop Museum here, who has returned from two year tour of the Austral islands in connection with the museums endeavor to establish the origin of the Polynesian race.
 Even Rapa the pin dot island which became famous as place where the men were fed by women and lolled around listlessly on a stretch of coral strand under shade giving palm trees-is beginning to show the marks of civilization, despite the fact that the ratio of inhabitants continues to approximate four women to one man, Stokes said.
 There are only 23 taxpayers-meh between Iu6 ages ol II eiiN w
 island. The rest of the 236 inhabitants are women, young boys and old men
 "All the work except the fishing IS done by the women, who are comedy sturdy, exceedingly tall, muscular ana hospitable," Sokes said. "The wom' an who first drew attention to Rapa through stories that the women 1eu the men, apparently visited the island during a festival, when the women fed the men in fun The women now aver do perform all agricultural work

level with the Casino. Also the main telegraph office is on this level. But the Americans, British and Italians live on the lake shore, near the Hotel du Chateau, where the meetings of commissions are held. This is probably half a mile from the Casino, as the crow flies, but the winding roadways run the taxicab meters up to two miles, and no stranger can find his way without a guide. The Greek, Russian, Bull garian and other minor delegations are scattered at different levels be- tween the heart of the city and the shoreline. Many of their hotels are far from cog railways and tram lines. Consequently Alpine stocks and hob nailed boots are in great demand among newspaper men who must keep in touch with the far-flung delegations.
 New delegations are being dis CoFeIeu diHlOSl udliy III ocClQutu hotels tucked into mountain groves at resorts miles from Lausanne. Mon- treux, Territet, Vevey and other re- sort towns along the lakeshore within 20 miles of Lausanne are the seats of all sorts of would-be delegations from Egypt, Arabia, Mesopotamia and other distant lands which are holding trump conventions and for. warding protests to the general secratariat which never get publicity.
 Lausanne is in gread dread of all these rival meetings. There is con- stant fear that some other point on the lake may manage to capture a treaty signing, and rob Lausanne of the right to attach it's name to whatever documents may be agreed upon in the conference. Rapollo's capture of the treaty between the Geremans and the Russians at Ge- noa is fresh in the mind of the loyal citizens of Lausanne.

PERSHING'S STRONG ARGUMENT

No more persuasive argument for greater attention to the training of Americans ill mili- tarv matters, with incidental gains of incal- culable value to the individuals trained and the general body of citizenship, has been made than that General Pershing gave at recent luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce at St. Louis
 What weight it will have, however,, is an- otEer metter. General Pershing pictured our habitual indifference in peace time. It has been so always. Washington had unframed, unfitted men in the Revolution. His letters about them in appeals to the Continental Con- gress, show how badly handicapped he was. Nothing but Providence enabled the colonists to win their independence.
 Never has a war found us with even the foundation of preparedness. Notwithstanding the belated preachment of President Wilson, after he had criticised Humorous people" in his message of December, 1914, no actual preparation was made As result, we eX- pended during the brief period of that war Federal Government from Washington's time more money than had been dsbursed by the down through Wilson's first Administration The resultant loss of life, ascribable by eN- Derts to the same cause, IS an everlasting shame.
 Even this lesson and the burden of debt that we and our children must pay do not arouse us We have seen the little army men whittlng the army down beyond the lrrednc- ihlr minimum set by men who have made life stuGv of our country's actual needs, and we have afterwards heard them brag about lt.
 Nc. matter how many times the horse IS stolen, Uncle Sam steadily refuses to lock the stable.
 Our mobile force is less than one soldier for every 2.OOO people, Yet there are pacifists who talk of militarism! This is only one-fifth the relative military strength which set Mir Bryan and his shallow followers into cru satie against mlitarism in 1900.
 Our slipshod methods have cost us infinitely more. in men as well as in money, than sane preparedness.
 Is it onr national cgotsm that makes Us believe that we can raise and equlp men be- tvcer the setting and the rising of the sun? That should have been iolted out of us in the last great war. We could not if we wanted, become .Jin@oes, for we had neither the ships nor t e men for modern warfare, although we did get the money, wasted by the billions be- cause of lack of knowledge of its proper spending.
 Every lobbv-rder, every citizen who wishes more Federal expenditures for fussy bureaus tn G0 work that never should be entrusted 10 State or Nation, will join the pacific chorus in fiuhtino the recommendations Secretary of War Weeks urged in his annual report recent ly and General Pershng emphasized in such mastprly manner in his St. Louis speech.
