him speeding through Indiana and
Illinois toward ST. Louis, where his
special is TO be switched from the
Baltimore and Ohio TO the Wabash
railroad and on through Missouri
and Iowa.
Political Significance
This line of travel was especially
mapped out for the political
Significance it might carry. With
the Congressional elections OF 1926
impending, the President is anxious
TO lend whatever moral support he
can to the Republican candidates
in the Central States.
In Missouri, always a doubtful
state. the Republicans are facing
e, hard fight to elect successor to
the late Senator Seldom Spencer.
Another struggle looms in Iowa
where Senator Albert y. Cummings

in this state ds complicated by the
election contest now being staged
between Senator Smith w. Brook
hart and his Democratic opponent
in last years election. Dan r. Steck,
This contest, according to admin
fstration leaders in the Senate is
exceedingly close, and they make
no secret OF their fear that should
Steck win out, Brookhart would
enter the lists against Cummins as

licanism.
The Presidential special passed
through Stores. Ohio, suburb OF
Cincinnati at $50 this morning. AT
approximately o'clock this after
noon 1t will reach st. Louis, loiter-
ing there in the railroad yards for

This seems good place to say
something about Fred Marberry,
who may appear in this coming
series as relief pitcher. Fred
hurt his arm late in the season.

He couldn't get good grip GA

Later he got some OF it back,

visited hIm at mis- hotel. He showed
the old wizard the sore place ON
the inside OF his elbow. Reese
pressed hard on the outside OF the
elbow and. presto. me pain was
gone. Fred went out to uhe hall
park, donned his uniform and, for
the first time in weeks, could use

invincible as a relief pitcher.
We don't know much about the

says that, without knowing about

British Officer introduces
Resolution at Farley Of
World Legislators
By FRED ]. WALKER

The undefended condition Of the
1Canadian-American border was
cited today, in discussion before
the Interparliamentary Union, as
concrete example Of how two
nations can encourage peace by
friendly gestures.
The whole broad subject Of
the reduction Of ornaments was
paraded before the conference by
speakers from various delegations
to pave the way for the adoption
Of q series of resolutions encour-
aging general denilitarization.
Brigadfer General p. i. Spears,
OF Great Britain, Trainer Of reso-
luton aimed at deniIitarization OF
frontiers, made q plea for fewer
soldiers and military equipment
along national boundaries as a
means OF preventing immediate
contact between opposing military
forces.
"The United states and Canada, .
he said have unfortified frontiers
and few here will deny the cordial
relations now existing between tbs
two countries. Military forces and
armament generally inspire nations
to enter race in border fortified
tions which experiences has shown
contribute to the causes Of wars.
Spears resolution recalled the ben
ficial results from the establishment
OF demilitarized zones, particularly
In the case OF the 1917 treaty be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States.
Every measure calculated to
avoid immediate contact between OPP
posed military forces would avert
the danger Of frontier incidents and
help to create q greater sense Of
security on either side thus making
considerable reduction or arIna-
ments possible, = said the resolution.
The measure provided for trans
mission OF data on beneficial results
from demilitarized border zones to
all nations operating within the
Union and TO the League OF Nations.
Opposition to the measure was
feared in many quarters as general
discussion began, because of the
highly nervous condition Of many
European countries, notably France,
on national security.
Great Britain. supported by the
United States and many Of the
South American delegations was
largely in favor Of the measure.

willing to abandon hope for the re-
covery alive of Air Mail Pilot Charles

Superintendent of air mail. today
appealed to the searchers to put
forth every effort to locate the MISS

Superintendent Egge went forward
on the theory that Pilot Anes iost

sighted over Laurelton: Pa.
The possibility that the flier ex-

generally accepted at the mail de-

IF any flier would have been
able to handle q plane In the log
Ames could have done il" an Off

lis very probable, however, that
the dense mist obscured the air port
beacons and the aviator might have
gone many miles off the course,
being forced down when he ran

to make a safe landing in the

Hence, if Pilot Ames' parachute
worked properly there is chance
that he came down without serious

the roughness OF the terrain"
Despite the prevailing nope that

laughs out of his audience. He sings
little songs each within an amusing

the contest-however it is quite
natural for aspirants to office who

foul play.
The town offices in question only
pay the incumbents $22 a year
seemingly not enough to law
about. And usually the offices went
begging. Only the absolute refusal
of present officers who have held
over four year to serve longer
made an election necessary.
Following that refusal Repubh-
cans and Democrats got together
and each party drafted two men
for a ticket. Immediately a Sec

was started.

But Of course 1t isn't the money:
there's a principle at stake. There

France and the
Capital Levy

n n ANY people in this country seemed in
l1Vl clined to consign France to the DENIM.
ton bowwows; in other words, to communism,
socialism and worse, because Of her proposed
capital levy.
DON be so hasty. A capital levy may be
a desperate remedy all right enough, but it is
one that many conservative statesman has en-
visaged when face to face with desperate sit
uation.
Conservative England faced it during the
World War. She faced it after the World
War. No less conservative than the late An
drew Bonar Law, British Prime Minister, was
at one time convinced that Great Britain would
have to resort to it to get her out of the post
ing, another British conservative, agreed with
him.
Britain ultimately did not have to resort to
the capital levy. But this was only because her
splendid national discipline made possible an
income tax that ranged as high as rs, per cent
and that turned the trick.
The statement is heard on all sides that
the French pay virtually no taxes. This is
far from the truth. Taxes absorb 20 per cent
Of the national income, which is as heavy as
the average burden borne by the British
considerably heavier when the relative wealth
Of the two nations is considered. And yet this
is not enough.
What then is to be done? Even if able to
borrow, which she is not, France would only
add to her burden by doing so. Manifestly she
must call on all her citizens, upon those who
have capital, or own property, to come to the
rescue IN one way or another, call it a capital
levy or by any other name you please.
There is nothing communistic or socialistic
about all hands manning the pumps when a
ship has sprung leak and threatens to foun-
der. 1t is really the very essence of con-
servatism
