BY HARRY r. FLORY

LONDON, Feb. IL G.N.SD.
The reputation OF the submarine
as anything but a vicious instru-
ment of war appeared to have
been ruined for all time today
when American and British dele.
gates to the five-pos er naval dis
armament conference laked it
from stem to stern with a deyaS-
tating barrage of hostile criticism,
It was declared to be not only
an inhuman and ruthless weapon
Of warfare, but a positive men
ace to the crew assigned to it
Even Japan. which favorS reten
ton of the submarine. was forced
to admit that during. the. last war
unlimited submarine warfare had
brought about maritime tactics
that disguised the entire world.
First Question Discussed
Abolition Of the submarine was
the first question taken up by the
conference. meeting in plenary ses-
sion at st. James's Palace. It
was the fourth time the parley
had assembled In full session since
the conference opened with pomp
and pageantry in the House of
Lords just three weeks ago.
The meeting was opened by
Prime Minister J. Ramsay Mac
Donald at HOS a. m. t6:O5 a. m.

nounced that the first committee
of the conference would shortly be
able to announce solution of the

questions.
He then called upon A. v. Alex
ander. British first lord of the
admiralty, to set forth Britain's
views regarding submarines. The
first lord lost no time about
launching into the subject, and
almost his first words were a bit

The use Of cod liver oil in feed

the recent developments in poultry
production. Practically every one
who has used good quality prod

The reason for the value Of this
product is largely due to the vita

mine d is the substitute for sun

absorb the minerals which they con

shine, fowls will fail properly to
absorb minerals, even though they
may be abundantly supplied.
The popularity Of cod liver oil
has encouraged the use of many
substitutes. The fishy odOr which

products Is not a guarantee that
they are Of any particular value
from the standpoint of being a sub,

GAS TAX SAVES MOTORISTS CASH
