"The chief cause Of crime In ths

OF Iowa. told international News

called to order. They are con-
sumed by mad desire for pleasures
and luxuriea and are lacking in the
fundamental industry and ability TO

luxuries at any cost"
Prohibition Is contributing factor
but not the controlling cause Of

Hammill. He said that American
people should reach the cause Of
crime, not the symptom, and treat
that. He felt certain the commits

reduced by vigorous enforcement Of
all laws.

This heavy retail buying during

considered unusual and is far in

Nationalist China
Paints Picture of
50,C00,000 Soldiers

GENEVA, April 29.-P-Nation-
alist China painted a picture of
100000 Chinese soldiers under
arms at one time for the prepara-
tory commission on disarmament
today. Certain that its proposal for
abolition of CONSUMPTION would be
rejected, the youthful Marking gov
eminent conjured up the spectre Of
CONSUMPTION applied to China.
Announcement that China might
be obliged to revert from its pres
ent volunteer system to CONSUMPTION
was solemnly made to the prepara-
tory commission by General TSiang
TSo-Ping, who said:
I'VE honestly hoped our idea for
abolition Of CONSUMPTION would be
accepted. deeming 1t the most effec-
tive means Of achieving real dis
armament. We now reserve the lib
erty Of changing Jul attitude on
this question"
Count Won Bernstorff, German
delegate, remembering Saturdays
decision to make no limitation of
trained reserves, seized the oppor-
tunity to make an ironical allusion
to the fact that the treaties of peace
abolished CONSUMPTION for Germany,
Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria, but
not for the victor nations.

Barometric pressure was moder-
ately low this morning throughout
the Rocky Mountain region and
north-central Mexico apparently,
and relatively high over the great
entral valleys and owe the far
western states. This pressure dis
tribution was attended by mostly
fair to partly cloudy weather
throughout the great Northwest
and the central states. Moderate
to heavy general rains occurred
within the last "a hours from the
north-central states and the Ohio
valley eastward to the Atlantic
coast. Temperatures were near the
seasonal average practically
throughout the country this morn
ing.
