 It is when Sir George comes to discuss the king in relation to the armed forces of the crown that he appears 10 step into disput2ble ter ritory.
 He incidentally points out that only after his accession did His Majesty assume the rank of field marshal.

LEAGUE CONSIDERS
 ARMS PLAN TODAY
Lord Cecil Drafts Resolution
 Outlining English Stand
ANOTHER STEP FORWARD
United States of Europe scheme Also to Be DisCussCd-Slight Conflict of Views Appears at Sessions Today.

Geneva. Sept. 1G.-(P}-The prob lem of the hour, world disarmament and the dream of European states men, a United Sttaes of Europe faced the assembly of the league of nations today as it began the third week of it's deliberations.
 Progress toward disarmament is expected to depend largely upon the resolution to be introduced by Lord Robert Cecil of Great Britain before the preparatory disarmament com- mission. An outline of recommends tions, Lord Cecils move already has aroused considerable excitement ir the French press, although it is un- derstood the resolution amounts to little more than a declaration that the British labor government is not necessarily bound by the action of its conservative forerunner and that the question of land forces and reserves must be dealt with ultimately in any general plan of world disarmament.
 Another Step Forward.
 Designed to stimulate progress of the preparatory disarmament con- mission of the league, Lord Cecil's movement to make the most of the agreement in principle already at- tained regarding naval power be- tween the British and American gov crnments. Also, it will sound out French and Italian opinion in par ticular before the five-power dis armament conference is called. On the other big question before the league, that of European confed- eration of states, delegates this week are preparing 10 get into closer grips with the actualities of this great scheme proposed by Premier Briand of France.
 The support of France, Germany and Great Britain are assured and the Anglo French proposal for a world economic conference which would deal directly with many problems involved in the formation of a European United States is eX- pected to bring to light declarations of policy from smaller countries throughout the continent. Already the proposal for a two-year tariff truce" has brought outspoken criticism from the Irish Free State.
 Such expression of opinion is ad- mitted to constitute a formidable obstacle to Pan Europe, and discus sions of the week at Geneva be eX- pected to include replies of great continental powers to objections to confederation, raised by smaller states.
 Conflict of Views
 A certain conflict of views between British and French delegates to the assembly arose today when the as sembly's committee on disarmament

Owner of shop Dying-Four Busi- ness Houses NrccI>ed-Causc of Explosion Believed same as 1928 Accident in City.

Nowburgh, N. Y, Sept. 16 tPy- Fifteen, persons were hurt, one probably fatally in consequence Of g series of explosions and fires or iginating in q sewer in Water street between Main and Second streets today.
 Two men and two women, en- ployes at the book store of William S Greene. were missing an hour after the blast and firemen were searching the ruins of the building in the belief they had been buried in the WreCkage.
 Four stores burst into flames after the explosion, the Lawson Hard ware company, Kresge's Five and Ten Cent store. Greene's Book store, and the Moe Myers Ladies Furnish ing store.
 Fronts of buildings were blown out. and the streets in the vicinity of the blast were strcwn with wrecl;aso.
 Today's explosion is believed to have originated from the same cause in a similar explosion on August 24, 1928. At that time an ahnormally high tide in the Hudson river backed the water up in the sewer mains and sewer gas fumes were ignitcd by a spark.
 William s. Greene. proprietor of the book store that was destroyed, was removed 10 hospital in a dying condition.
 Logan Robinson, tailor, was blown through the side of his shop and injured seriously.
 Fire apparatus from Beacon Cornwall and Marlboro assisted the local department in fighting the blaze, and National Guardsmen were called out to help police in the fire area.

motto and say to himself that he has lived Up to every particular.
 At 90, no one knows just what his vast fortune totals. except that it is in the neighborhood of one billion dollars. His benefactions add up to a half billion more.
 "To get all you can-to keep all you can - to give away all you can"-and there you are. It is a nice question, whether the story of how Rockefeller made his great fortune is more interesting than the story of how he gave it away
 Both the giving and the mak- ing began in early youth. And If the making was for many years the only thing that the public | connected With the name of Rocke- | feller, the pendulum has swung far the other way of late. How could it | help it, when he has given away more money than any but half a dozen men in all history have ever | had?
 Born in Richford, N. Y, in 1889, Rockefeller was taken by his family | to Cleveland when he was 14 and shortly thereafter he went out to l earn his living as a clerk in con- mission house. An account book he kept in those days shows his earn ing $50 for three months work. and winning promotion to $25 a month salary in 1856. A year later his salary became $500 a year and all the time he was carefully saving every cent he could.
 But he was also giving, even in | those days. A quotation from his old account book reads: Tn one month l gave to foreign mission, 10 cents; to the Mite Society, 50 | cents; and there is also a contribu- ton to the Five Points mission. | Then to the venerable teacher of my class l gave 35 cents to make hlm a present. To the poor of the church I gave 10 cents at this time, and in January and February following l gave 10 cents more and a further 10 cents to the foreign missions"
 And this was the man who was to give away half a billion. In Oil Business In 1858 Rockefeller and Morris B. Clark were able to start a con- mission house of their own. Oil had just been discovered in Pennsylva- nia. Getting cheap process of cleaning crude oil, Rockefeller went into the oil business; and so rapid were his strides that in 1870 he or ganized the Standard Oil Co.,. with a capitalization of s1,000,000.
 Rockefeller quickly went to work to make Standard Oil supreme. He succeeded. Competitors were bought out or forced out of business, quiet l ly and with dispatch. Rockereuer was often condemned for his ruth | less methods; but he himself insists ! that he never warred on a rival without first offering to give him Standard Oil stock in exchange for
