He stands and holds their pocket-books

And insists he doesn't really have an

And he hasn't any business or engage

When he can fondly gaze upon this fine

i. s. to Seek
Naval Equality

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. The
United States government believes
in, and will insist on actual naval
parity with Great Britain, state de-
partment officials made clear to-
day in discussing the speech of
Chancellor of the Exchequer Win
ston Churchill in England Saturday.
Churchill approved naval equality
Of the two nations in principle but
not in actual mathematical applica-
ton because of Britain s Empire

Department officials approve

Buffalo advocating naval equality
and deploring suggestions of naval
building competition between the
two nations in the wake of the de-
funct Geneva Arms Conference.
Dawes suggestion that lack of
preparation for the Geneva confer
cnce was responsible for its dead
lock was refuted, however, in au-
thoritative circles.

Marriages Show
Big Decreases

The new state law governing the
issuance of marriage licenses Is re,
sulting in loss of revenue from
this source in many towns within
easy motoring distance of cities 10.
Gated in bordering states, il Is de
clared. This IS especially true in
towns located in the valley and the
records at the county clerk s office
bear out these allegations.
Since July %, the day on which
the new license law went into eff.
feet, only four licenses have been
issued and three couples have de,
clared their Intention 70 wed This
is far below the usual number of
certificates issued. the average be,
ing about two each day.
This total shows about one license
for each two days.
While the new ruling is regarded
by those associated with its working
as good one, it IS held as unavail.
ing unless passed as a national law.
If il should become universal, these
persons declare, il would eliminate
much of the marrying Of minors and
of persons who have not the right
to marry but as the law at present
reads it only serves to send these
persons to neighboring license bu-
reau which is less strict in its rul-
ings and causes an inconvenience TO
those who have a right to wed.

ship may be cancelled if they en-
gage unduly in protesting the SEIZED

statement of warning as follows:
''TO all native born citizens, nat
ulalized citizens, declarants and to
all aliens who desire to remain domi-
ciled in the United States:
Do not let your sympathy for
wrong information SWAY you as
Sacc0 aud Vanzetti, the Italian
bandits and murderers, approach the
day OF their execution, Thursday,
August II. They also are anarchists
and enemies Of this government, but
that fact has nothing to do with
their convictions nor with their ap-
preaching execution. They should
never have been admitted to the
United States and under the new
inmigl alton act, could hot have
been admitted.
II know Governor Fuller Of Mas
Sachusetts and know several of the
toard OF citizens who assisted him
in final examination OF murder
charges and evidence. They are con-
Ninced that Sacco and Nanzetti are
guilty as were the Mcnamara bro
theirs who blew up the Los Angeles
Times building, killing 20 or mora,
and who confessed their crime after
a great defense fund had been rails,
ed by sympathetic working men,
They are as guilty as those who as
ssssinated the world war veterans
at Centralia, Wash, on the first
OF the Armistice day.
ILey are as guilty as Berkman, who
tried To Kill Frick at Pittsburgh
and lodged deportation for q dozen
