WHENCE THE AMMUNITION?

Whence has the ammunition come with which the Chinese armies are fighting? Guns in quantities are not made in China, and the powers made a pledge at the Washington Arms conference not to permit the shipment of any more arms into China until the competing armies there had been disbanded.
 A special dispatch to the Chicago Tribune brought the information that vast quantities of arms and am- intuition are stored in Shanghai and other points in China, and that they had accumulated after the powers had made the Washington pledge.
 The dispatch states that an in- vestigation showed that the arms embargo of the Washington confer ence had been thoroughly disregard ed, and that smuggling of war ma terial had been so common that the Chinese generals have been able tc secure all the arms they need.
 It would appear that the powers made very little effort to stop the smuggling.

MERIT BROUGHT HONOR

General Pershing rose in the a1ec- tions of the nation and officials through merit. His service in the army was not spectacular but it was good service, we'll rendered ana pupctiIiousIy performed. He was chosen to head the A E. F. ln France on the strength of his record and fulfilled the confidence placed in him by the government and its people.
 The general has been a military hero in the minds of his countrymeh ever since the great conflict; yet knowledge of the admiration m which he was held never for mo- ment turned him from the paths or modestv. He did not seek to capi- talize his popularity in the poiltioa' field.
 When given command of the American forces he applied the quiet. unobtrusive efficiency with which his name had been identified nraviolsly. It is said one of the chief reasons for giving him the coRna@l was his excellent record

at the head of the American punitive expedition into Mexico. At that time he was given explicik orders by the commander-in-chief, President Wil- son, as to what the army was ex- pected to do in Mexico and especially what 1t was expected not to do. Like the first class military man that he is, General Pershing followed the Wilson policy to the letter. He took care not to complicate the grave sit- uation but kept his forces 100 per cent efficient and followed the lines laid down for him in masterly fashion.
 When he arrived In France at the head of the A. E, F. he did not punctuate his arrival with a fanfare of trumpets. He advised the allied high command that the Americans would Ne ready to win at a certain time, and when that time arrived they contributed the thrust toward victory that he had promised. His tactical suggestions were of extreme value. His suggestion that the allied command >be unified was a potent reason for consummating that im- portant change under Foch. General Pershing did not suggest however, that the command be unified under himself as the commanding general. as many an ambitious military man would have done under the circum- stances, but insisted that he wanted to command the Americans only and would act under the high command as directed.
 General Pershing's hold upon the popular mind has been strong, but somewhat different than the popu- larity of some other notable military and naval heroes. This is partly due to the fact that he has not sought the spotlight. His prestige as a great military commander rests upon his record of accomplishment and has not been utilized to command politi- cal prestige, and he discouraged all efforts along those lines.
 The general goes into private life honored by the government and the people whom he served so valiantly and we'll for AZ years.

 suckers have been placed on windshields to advertise campaigns fairs and drives generally. Is 1t possible that MT.

 She smiled at him across the aisle of the car, and presently he crossed over and seated himself beside her.

 She giggled hysterically and nodded her head. Visions of an auto ride with the handsome young man at her side. quite upset her.

CUT FRENCH BUDGET
1925 Figures to Be Kept at 30 Bill lion Francs, All Covered From Tax Revenue.

Paris, Sept. 15.-The French budget for 1925 is to be kept down to 30, 900, 900, ,OOO francs, all of which will be covered by revenue from permanent taxes, Premier Herriot is resolved, according to Excelsior. The Premier this week is continuing his task of pruning the budget items down to requisite proportions.
 It is evident, says Excelsior, that 1t is impossible to balance the budget. Furthermore, if the major- ity requires of the government im- mediate fulfillment of its electoral pledges almost S,O00,000,00O francs will be added to the expenditures.
 It remains to be seen, the news paper adds, whether the majority will have the courage to support the wise policy of rebuilding our finan- cial framework" which is the phrase dear to the premier.
 Excelsior also understands that the government intends to use the money paid by Germany in 1926 to begin a sinking fund for the national debt, both internal and external.
