Keep Up Defense
Despite Treaties

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. I0.-LP)
"A promise that the administration
does not contemplate any weakening
of the national defense because Of
the recently signed Kellogg treaties
was given the American Legion here
today by Secretary Of War Dwight r.
Davis IN an address in which he
praised the purpose and the states
manship of the documents.
AS secretary of war" he said, 81
know the great value of the support
which has been given by the Amer
lean Legion TO our national defense.
DeSirous Of peace, you nevertheless
have realized that we must not jeop-
ardize our heritage Of liberty during
our search for a panac-a for war.
Therefore, you will wish to know
that your efforts have not been dis
directed. The government does not
intend that there should be my weak
ening Of the national defense as a re-
suit Of these treaties"
The treaties Davis described as
"A preliminary treatment for an age
old cancer" pointed out that whereas
the ruler Vas once commander-in-
chief of his people, the ruler now is
commander-in-chief of the army alone
and that people are now enlightened
and do not 20 to war as blindly as
they once did.
THE value Of this step (the peace
treaties) will be lost" Davis said, IF
we conceive il to be a definite assur-
ance OF a permanent establishment
of world peace. Unfortunately some
of our citizens have thoughtlessly
jumped 10 such a conclusion. Con-
trary to the advice Of President Cool
idge and Secretary Kellogg there are
those who ever advocat an immediate
rduction Of our modest defense
forcs. II Is obvious that any dis
armament TO be effective must be
universal.
while there is in the administra-
tion a most sincere desire TO promote
peace, and a very definite renuncia-
tion Of aggressive war as an instru-
ment Of national policy, there Is no
intention whatsoever on the part Of
our government tc jeopardize the
security OF ourselves or our pos
terity."

Former Russian
Empress Is iii

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Oct. 10.
ICP-The former empress Marie Of
Russia, who has been i'll at her home
near Copenhagen has kept to her bed
the past few days. The Dowager m
press whose long life has witnessed
much personal tragedy has recently
been feeling weaker.
Yesterday she summoned the com
mander Of her famous Cossack guard
and took leave Of him, thanking him
for his lifelong devotion. The giant
Cossack who had guarded his mis-
tress for many years, sleeping out
side her bedroom. broke down after
the farewell scene and cried like a
little child protesting that he would
not survive his beloved sovereign.
The Dowager empress. who is 81
years old, was formerly Princess
Dagmar of Denmark. She is the wild
ow Of Alexander III and the mother
of the late Gar Nicholas.

Gated on calm and quiet, doctors
agreed. Following the bombing she
was hurried to a hospital where she
remained several days suffering from
bomb shock.
"A few days ago. after she had been

Garrick house. This bomb exploded
at a Yellow Cab company garage in
the ~neighborhood. Mrs. Garrick's
son was an employe of the Chicago
Motor Coach company, a concern af-
filiated with Yellow Cab, and Mrs
Garrick saw in the two bombings
threats against the lives Of both her
husband and her son.
The bombing Of the Garrick home
was described as a stroke of VEN

his energy in directing raids against
gambling houses.
Following Mrs. Garrick's death, fell

Prices continued TO improve as

BY more favorable reports received
from the cotton goods trade, both
