AMERICA JOINS FARLEY ON ARMS TRAFFIC

Secretary of State Hughes, on be- half of the American government, has accepted the invitation to par ticipate in the international confer- ence on traffic in arms, munitions and implements of war, which will be held in Geneva under the auspices Of the League of Nations in May, 1925. The American government complies with the general sentiment of the country and the world that no opportunity be lost to cooperate with other nations upon matters that will tend 10 cement the ties of brotherhood and eliminate possibin- ties Of future wars.
 Thus we find the American gov ernment participating In one Of the most important conferences Of the League; the administration favors adhesion to the World Court; we have unofficial observers at League conclaves; we originated the arms conference during the Harding ad- ministration and are willing to take part in or even originate another conference for further arms parley- ing if necessary. We are not only pacific in intention, are willing to CO., operate with other nations showing similar tendencies, and are friendly with the League Of Nations and it's aims.
 We have not yet occupied the empty chair that is waiting for us at the League gatherings, but VIC have at least one foot in the build 5vp

Instead become a senator, The issue Is not personalities about Holt, or the discredited Lusk committee of New York whose report went into oblivion.
 President Coolidge Is being regard od as one Of the worlds foremost proponents Of the World Court; Holt will back Coolidge in this greatest or endeayors, That Is some. thing decidedly in his favor, Bing- ham is supposed to be willing to back Coolidge In one thing or an- other but the very men who were selected 10 preach his election in the state were distinguished by their refusal to back the president upon important Issues
 This Is a Republican state, and Bingham for governor obtained popular plurality Of li0,00O. Should he be elected to the senate he will not have anything like that majority over Holt. The state is in a political Hproar over the machines methods and the campaign will do one great good it 1t tends 10 undermine the confidence and power of the Rora- back Inner guard. That this is be- lug achieved there can be no doubt.
 Holt has strengthened his position hy declaring he will be dominated hy no party or no persons if elected. In all respects he Is a thoroughly Independent candidate, owing al- legiance 10 no man or set of men. It IS utterly impossible for Bingham to say as much.
 The machine will be rebuked by polling smaller vote, Conditions be- Ing what they are this IS perhaps the most reasonable forecast that can be made.
 T. would be well it the rebuke went further and in time, if the ma chine continues its tactics, break down will occur Holt 4s dninp v,,uch better than was anticipated by his friends, and some regular Republi- can organs are sponsoring his cause, which is an indication that the states electorate Is at least begin ming to awaken to the need for op- posing the machine. How far this opposition goes Will be known next week.

asL issue, Five small bequests were made to his housekccper. secretary, etc, and $5OOO to the Massachusetts Historical society,
 The former senator was determln- ed that all his wealth was to remain in the Lodge family, Ills pride in the family tree appears to have been great,
 Duke and Eastman are determined that their wealth should go out of their families, They wish their money 10 achieve some good for mankind and wish to live long enough to sec the good begin tuncttonins.
 There Is a vast difference between the ideals of Duke and Eastman and those of Lodge as expressed In his will, IL Is a difference in tempera- ment, training and birth.
 bHhp anu i+dhtiNdH are men or business who rose from the ranks through their own efforts. They had no more family pride than was necessary to get along; but they had pride in work and achievement, and when fortune smiled they pondered their responsibilities and acted In accordance with their convictions that the possession of wealth was less important than how such wealth was used.
 Lodge, born 10 the purple, had no such ideas. He is not to be blamed for lacking them. His will was an index 10 his mind, Had he willed a goodly sum, compared with his wealth, to hospital q college or charity, 1t would have been rather surprising.

tor HIS INSURANCE
 AND DEATH PAPERS
But Recruiting Sergeant Can
 Prove He Is Decidedly Alive

Although pronounced officially dead by the war department, Ser geant Tony S. Sadowski is still con- sdered by the department sufficient ly alive to be in charge of the re- cruiting office in this city. For his case was another of those in which the government, overburdened by pressure of conducting a great war, blundered, resulting in months of sorrow on the part of Sergeant Sa- dowski's mother.
 sadowski enlisted in Springfield, Mass, in July, 1917, and took ship for France in September as a mem- Der of Company II, 23rd infantry. second division. On his first trip into the trenches, he spent 30 days on a stretch In the front line before Verdun, an unusual ordeal for new men. On July 8. 1918. he partici- pated In the battle of Chateau Thierry and went down with nine shrapnel holes before the fight was fairly begun, A little matter like nine wounds kept Sadowski out of action for only six weeks, and in August he went over the top at Soissons in the face of whitening fire which killed all but nine of the 150 men in the cons pany. Sadowski was one of those nine, while another was the captain, whose life was saved by Sadowski at the risk of his own. For this eX- plot, Sadowski was decorated by General John J. Pershing,
 On October 3, he went into ac- ton in the ArgOnne, and on the first day fell with 10 bullet and shrapnel holes in him. While he was lying in hospital behind the lines, word came back to this eoun-, try that he had been killed in action.~ Sadowski knew nothing of this, and when recovered, he returned 10 his home in South Deerfield, Mass, his mother was so overcome that she almost suffered a shock.
 Two weeks after his return, he re- ceived his own death certificate from tue war department, along with the first payment of his insurance. He returned the letter and vigorously denied his demise, but he retained his death certificate, which he now exhibits as his honorable dis charge"
 Sadowski reenistcd in the army soon after his return home, and is now a sergeant in the recruiting service.
