Given Several Time

Warren +. Brenizer a skilled me-
chanic in charge of cabinet and other
woodwork in the Army Medical Ii
hrary and Museum in the Smithsonian

gagged in active service for the Gov
ernment in the District of Columbia.
He was born in Harrisburg, Pa, De-
cember 27. 1897. and is now in his
ninetieth year. When the Civil War
broke out. ne enlisted as a sergeant
in the 131st Pennsylvania Volunteers,
and was disabled by wounds in one of
the early battles. He recovered his
health several months later and served
in the Army Construction Corps until
the end of the war. Since then he
has been a resident of this city. He
worked for w. 3. Moses & Co. for 10
years as a cabinetmaker, and was
afterward appointed a skilled labOrer
in the office of the Secretary of War.
In December. 1912, he was trans
ferred to the surgeon generals office
and placed in charge of the general
cabinet work in the Army Library and
Museum He was II years of age
when appointed in the War Depart
ment. several years before Congress

ment in the civil service at 20 years.
Since then his tenure has been spe-
cially extended several times by order
of the Secretary of War. lin the in
terest of the service"
His continuance. despite his ad
vanced age, was based on a recent
report of his superior officer that
"Brenizer is physically and mentally
capable Of performing the duties as
signed to him. and it would not be
possible to replace him at the salary
he receives. His continuance in office
would he in the interest of the public
service"
SO far as the records show. the only
man older than BreniZer still in the
active service of the United States
Government in any part of the world
is Col. Emmer r. Cope, superintendent
Of the Gettysburg National Park, who
was cited for gallant and meritorious
services in the Civil War. Col. Cope
is still on the active list, in spite of

JAPANESE DELEGATES
SEEKING new RATIO
Country Willing to Reduce Arms
for Change in Present
$50 Policy.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, April 30.-The Japanese
delegation to the three-power arma-
ment conference, which expects to
leave for Geneva early in May. will be
ready and willing-even eager-to
bring about further naval disarma-
ment if, by some hook or crook, it can
effect a fractional change in the exist

the great untutored and more or less
Rnti-foreign masses.
This is the opinion of foreign OBJ
servers here who are in close touch
with the Government, the navy and
particularly the japanese press and
its millions of readers.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Washington conference agreement
has saved Japan several hundred mil
lion yen-which is thoroughly appre-
ciated by financiers, economic experts
and high Government officialS-the
public has already resented the 5-5-3
ratio. The press, echoing its readers,
is insistent that this ratio must not
prevail in any auxiliary reduction
agreement. But if the Geneva dele
CATION can come home with even
s-5-31s ratio, ii is felt that everybody's
lace Will nave Deen Sdk6u anu the
public opinion properly salved.
The real anxiety of the big men of
Japan is financial and economic. The
recent suspension of number of
banks in Toxic because of shortage
of funds brought home to the intelli.
gent Japanese the seriousness of the
situation. The balance of trade
against Japan last year was about
329 600, 900 yen. Japan is taxed to the
hilt now, and the support and main
tenance of even the present navy is
burden which daily grows heavier
with decreasing domestic business and
unfavorable foreign trade balances.
But above food and raiment in the
Far East is face The Japanese
will starve and die in the gutter be.
fore he will lose face Consequently.
even though further disarmament and
economy are essential, the face" prob
lem must be solved by the Geneva
delegates if they expert to return to

Prosperity Due to

Washington, Dec. 6.-@-In
prosperity and happiness the "Amer.
lean people 90 stand Is to b the
subject Of admiration and study the
world over" Secretary Davis de-
clared today In the annual report Of
the laber department. He called for
maintenance Of high wages and vel.
fare, for control Of immigration, and
for modification Of antitrust laws
to allow the condition he described
to be maintained.
while we take into account the
splendid life Of plenty and peace we
enjoy" the labor secretary said. I'VE
must not suppose that ell is per-
feet with us. The distribution Of
our national wealth Is good, but It
is not perfect.
"No matter on what plea or ex.
cuse, reduction Of wages is bad
business and worse economies. The
time has passed when any industry
or employerwho seelIs to break down
wage scales will b looked upon by
the community as shrewd or clever
in industry. = = = It is the mutual
willingness Of the worker to pro.
duce and the employee to pay for
production that acco0nts In large
measure for. our present prosperity.
Il has crowded the home market
with millions Of ready consumers
and buyers; it has stocked that mar.
ket with IN infinite variety Of goods
Tor improving their standard Of liv-
ing"
Mr.. Davis declared that the "sim.
pie secret Of the national prosper.
ity" IN the maintenance Of high
production and high wages had re-
suited in cessation Of strike activ.
ity, and predicted that this condi-
ton would continue.
"Never before In the history Of
American industry has the country
witnessed such . degree Of general
harmony between worker and en-.
ployer," he said. "This attitude Of
mutual respect, good will and par.
tuership il growing in the country
