The Man Who Served in Eight
Armies During the War-Fried-

a lieutenant in an exclusive Ger

break of the World war. Being
entrusted with a secret mission,
he enlisted with the First regi-

Will Dubrey.
After deserving the legion he

Wilson Died Disappointed

Accordingly. pending a general
acceptance of some binding and
workable peace plan, congress au-
thorized the building of the biggest
navy extant and the fortification of
Hawaii, Panama, Guam, and the
Philippines.
But America refused to join its
own peace organization or subscribe
to the league covenant which pro-
vided for disarmament. Wilson died
broken, disappointed man and
the ornaments race went on. Some
thing had to be done so the late
President Warren Harding, spurred
on by Senator William E. Borah,
called naval conference at Wash
ington.
No sooner had preparations for
the parley begun, however, than its
sponsors found themselves in an
impasSe. 1t became perfectly clear
that unless the fear of war in the
Far East could be disposed there
would be no naval limitation.
Became a 2-in-1
So the Washington conference be-
came a tWo-in-one, a naval confer
ence and a Pacific and Far Eastern
conference, the success of the for
mer depending upon agreement
upon the latter.
Two vitality important treaties,
therefore, were laid before the con-
ference. One, the four-power pact,
pledged Japan, America, Britain and
France to refrain from aggression,
so far as their island possessions in
the Pacific were concerned. The
other, the nine-power pact, signed
by Japan, America, Britain, France,
Belgium, Italy, Portugal, Holland
and China, in effect guaranteed
Chinas territorial and political in
tegrity.
From the moment these treaties
were introduced it was an open
secret that unless and until they
were agreed upon, here would be no
naval reduction or limitation. Once
initiated, however, the United States

Took the Lead
Relying upon the new order of
things, as the United States saw it
in the Pacific and Far East, it I'M
hesitatingly took the lead in disar-
mament and scrapped hundreds of
thousands of tons of the finest and
biggest battleships, built and build
ing, that the world ever had seen.
1t also agreed not to fortify the
Philippines, Guam, or any of it's
other possessions west of Hawaii.
Taking Japan and the other powers
at their word that armed aggression
was thing of the past, the United
States left these outposts undefend-
ed.
If the peace machinery is to be
junked now, as former navy Secre-
tary Joseph Daniels warned, the
world inevitably will return to the
age old game of ''let him take who
has the power and let him keep who
can"

who went along in time, joined
the Czecho-Slovakian legion in
Tomsk, Siberia.
He next appears as Ivan Ros-
koff, soldier of the Russian army
occupying Karpatho-Russia. AS
Karoly Mislovic he was a corporal
in the Third Serbian artillery at
Uskub, Serbia. Eventually he
joined the Turkish army as lieu
tenant of the Thirty-third Turk

adventurous war career as Piotr
Kosinski of the Polish legion, nu-

IN PACT SPLITS
Breakdown of Worlds
Peace Machinery Would
Cost America.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Com-
plete breakdown of the worlds
peace pacts, now, threatened by
Japan's unchecked aggression in
Manchuria, would cost American
taxpayers, in money alone, hundreds
of millions if not billions, of dollars.
Not only would basic national and
international policies need revamp-
ing to fit an altogether new and
more dangerous world situation, but
the national defense, particularly
the naval program, would undergo
costly revision.
Today the national defense is
based upon the dictum of the late
President Woodrow Wilson in 1917.
Ardent peace advocate though he
was, he then concluded that either
the world would have to organize
to prevent war or the individual ma
tons thereof would arm themselves
to the teeth as a matter of self
protection.
