Big Guns To
Be Elevated

The Navy Department has decid-
ed to use the appropriation of So
100000 for ~elevating the big guns
of our capital ships. Although the
money was set aside for that purpose
by the last congress, none of 1t has
been expended because somebody
raised the suggestion that such al
teration would contravene the spirit
OF the Washington a m a m e n t s
treaty. In the meantime the Navy
Department has Investigated the
matter, and n brief has been prepar-
General Board OF the Navy regard
as transferable.
The treaty forbids ALTERATION in
the general type of mounting" of
the big guns. but 1t Is demonstrated
that the changes proposed for the
American ships do not even imply a
violation of that provision. THE
general intent OF the treaty" reads
the Departments brief, was to
grant to each power full right to
keep step with material and scien-
tifc progress subject My to specific
limitations. Nowhere is there to be
found a spirit of the treaty that
contravenes this right. Whoever
claims the existence of such a
spirit does so in the hope Of re-
tanning at no cost an existing ad-
vantage"
1t is declared that every unit of
the British battle fleet has a gun
elevation of at least twenty degrees,
whereas there are thirteen American
first line ships that can raise their
guns only fifteen degrees. II those
elevations are increased, 1t Is said
that the firing efficiency Of our ships
would be increased 33 per cent. OF
course with such a disparity be-
tween u own vessels and those of
the British navy, the 5-5-3 ratio OF
capital ship strength Is virtually
abandoned.
The objections against making al
terations in American turrets have
their inspiration in British sources.
The London Times has lent itself to
what seems to be a concerted move
ment to keep the American battle
feet decidedly inferior to the Brit
ish. 1t appears that certain Britons
want to retain at no cost an existing
adyantage-to quote from our own
Navy Department. The Washington
pact represented a tremendous sacri-
flee of naval strength on the part of
the United States. Except for that
surrender, this country would SOC
have had a fleet without a peer. We
signified our willingness to make
that concession in the interest of
world peace, but there was no in
t'mation that we would permit our
naval strength to sink below that of
any other nation. Americans do not
relish the attempt nov 10 read into
the treaty n hidden meaning which.
II accepted, would seriously impair
our first line defense.

DISCOUNTS GOLD
FLOW TO RUSSIA
Hoover Declares Total Likely
to Reach Soviet viii Be of
Little importance.

The recent imports of gold Russia
has been receiving as.,refiected in cur
rent figures on the world movement
Of that metal, in the opinion of Secre-
tary Hoover, are result OF the cash
and carry character Of Russian for
eign trade. The Secretary expressed
the opinion that the amount of gold
Russia might be expected to obtain
under the circumstances probably
would be small.
Unofficial reports received from Lon
don are to the effect that last week
all the gold exported from the United
States to England, amounting to over
100000 was reshipped to Russia.
Russia has lately been developing
a favorable balance of trade under its
state trading arrangements" Mr..
Hoover said. The population Of Rus
sia is deprived of the opportunity of
purchasing commodities which 1t
would naturally consume under free
conditions. while at the same time a
steady outflow Of grain, furS and some
metals, such as manganese and plati-
mum, Is maintained. All of Russia's $
sales are paid for in cash, and there
are also purchases of imports. such
as cotton, for which that country has
paid in cash obtained from their sales.
The imports have not sufficed to
consume all of the credit balance built
up by its export trade. and, in conse-
quence. Russia has lately taken the
difference in cash"
The situation as to the supply of
what might be considered necessaries
of life to the Russians is obscure, Mr..
Hoover said, but a people IS per cent
agricultural can be expected to sub
sist on a remarkably low level of con-
sumption of manufactured products
for a long period.

NEWSPAPER MEN VICTIMS
OF BERLIN POLICE CLUBS
Hungarian Writer Beaten Up Dur

Demonstration Sunday.

BY Radio TO The Star aud Chicago Daily News
BERLIN, December 23.-Among the
victims of the police in the Com
muniSt demonstration Sunday to well
come the liberated writer Erich Much
sam are three foreign correspondents.
members of foreign press associations,
who went to Anhalter Platz before
the station to see Muehsam arrive.
The worst sufferer Is Aranyosi, the
hungarian representative of several
Scandinavian papers. According to
Aranyosi, he was in the front rank
of the crowd, when it was charged by
police. He showed his press creden-
tials and endeavored to explain, but
he was answered by filthy insults and
beaten over the head with a hard
rubber stick until he fell down and
tainted. He is now lying in bed with
a black eye and severe bruises about
the head.
The other two correspondents were
only slightly hurt. The German gov
ernment is investigating the matter,
and has stated that it deplores the
incident. The brutal methods of the
Prussian police clearly demonstrated
that a reform is needed. That the
spirit OF brutality is still prevailing in
parts OF Germany is further shown in
the condemnation and three months

ITO no nation in the world does
Greece feel greater, a stronger and
n more binding tie than to the United
States" said the speaker. I'm the
early days of our war for independ
ence, when we were struggling
against such desperate odds to throw
off the Turkish yoke and regain our
freedom, the eloquent voice of Daniel
Webster was raised in this very city
in favor of our cause. and it was, in
deed, the first plea in our behalf to be
heard in any legislative body of the
world" he said
The work of the American Red
Cross, the Near East Relief, the
American Friends of Greece, the
American Women's Hospitals and the
Relief for Fatherless Children of
Greece is too recent and too we'll
known to need any reference here;
but without the help extended by
these organizations il would have
been impossible to have saved many
thousands of the refugees" he con-

phases in the development of Greece
and told how, through the part play
ed by both Americans and Greeks. the
relations between the two countries
have been developed along most
friendly lines

NEW YORK. December 23.-There
is slight misunderstanding about
the new divorce laws in Yucatan
Mexico. Notice sent out yesterday by
the New York and Cuba Mail Steam
ship Company, whose ships touch at
Mexican ports, says 1t will not trans
port married women to Yucatan un-
less they produce written consent
from their husbands for the divorce.
1t is assumed the only reason a mar
ried woman would want to go to
Yucatan is to get divorce.
Some time ago a divorce law was
passed in Yucatan which out-Renoed

to live in Yucatan a month, pay $25
to lawyer and ask. a justice of the
peace for "a divorce, granted forth

But the Mexican authorities have
become bit conscientious about the
thing, hence the modification. The

MY DEAR LESLIE:
/ am glad you were able to settle
that business of your pearl necklace
to your satisfaction. Alice and
have talked about you a great deal
of late. You would be surprised to
know how mature she has grown.
She was quite the most beautiful
girl that was presented at court
the other day. All the eligible young
men in town were at the StOkley :
afterward They gave a ball. you
know, at that time and all the
young men hung around your sister
like bees about honey.
1t makes me feel rather old when
I see these youngsters growing up.
| expect pretty sooa Uncle" Karl
will be visiting all of them and buy
ing Christmas presents for their
kids. Alice is very anxious to see
your boy. Your mother and father
say he is a splendid baby.
You will be glad to know that
your father is looking and feeling
very much better, and both he anu
your mother seem to be enjoying
London society very much.
l am leaving soon for Italy. where
l will remain until spring. i. think
| shall return, however, with your
father and mother and Alice. Home
is beginning to look good to me.
Don't worry any more about those
paltry pearl beads or you will make
me wish Alice had not given them
to you. When 1 see you we will
have a long talk about them and i
will tell you how / happened to be
concerned in the matter.
Sincerely and devotedly,
Your friend,

lion dollars a year pass through the

But don't jump at conclusions.
She's no spendthrift. She is one of

1t was for these qualities that the
late President Harding appointed her
chairman of the United States EN-

making her the first woman to head
such an independent government

Her work concerns 100000 federal

his survivors.

appeal for aid, and who 40 OBJ

One of the hardest phases of her

"The largest number Of compen-

she says. "Prohibition enforcement
