France brought into the allied Sc
curity conference today a long
secret army report on German ar
mament, and demand prompt, Sc
we're punishment of future viola
tions of the World war treaties.
Backed by Italy, France seeks
action, not words, to curb Ger
many and prevent others of the
World war vanquished from follow
ing her example.
Her first memorandum to the
League of Nations council already
toned down so that Germany was
not denounced individually for past
violations, France wants definite,
automatic, immediate penalties for
future violations.
She took into the conference to-
day her revised draft.
With it Premier Pierre Etienne
Flandin and Foreign Minister Pier
re Laval took also the army's re-
pOlU VII oGSIGJ 1Gl llldll dIIlldIllCIIb.
That there was such a report
has been known for many months.
1t has been a magnet for hordes
of spies over Europe, and the OBJ
ject of eager interest of military
experts.
Bit by bit it had been sent to
the French army general staff by
intelligence agents as Germany's
secret armament proceeded - as
factory after factory went on to
war work, as a military air force
matching Great Britain's came
into being.
The general staff perfected the
reports in a 32e page dossier. 1t
was with the aid of this dossier as
memoranda that Flandin and La
val told Benito Mussolini of Italy
and Ramsay Mcdonald and Sir
John Simon of Great Britain her
anxiety and her requirements for
her security.
Great Britain was fighting for
temperate action.

votes we had, and now we know, -

watch the letters those who voted
against us get.'
The test came on vote to de-
feat an open rule for consideration
of the administration IS social Sc
curity bill. Had the rule been de-
feated it could have been amended
to make the Townsend bill or Lun-
deem unemployment insurance bills
in order as substitutes. The Town
send-Lundeen forces received 103
votes, against 288 for the rule.

MIGHTY GOOD ADVICE

When President James A. Garfield
was young man a printed slip was
given him by an aged friend which
he carefully cherished to the end of
his life. It read: "Make few promises.
Always speake the truth. Never
speak ill of any one. Keep good COM
pany or none. Drink no intoxicating
liquors. Good character is above
everything else. Keep your own Sc
crets, if you have any. Do not marry
until you are able to support a wife.
Keep yourself honest if you would
be happy. When you speak to person
look him in his eyes. Make no haste
to be rich if you would prosper. Spend
less than you earn. Save or invest
the balance. Live within your income.
Save when you are young to spend
when You are old. Never run into debt
unless you see way out again. Good
company and good conversation are
the sinews of virtue. Your character
cannot be essentially injured except by
your own acts. If any one speaks evil
of you, let your life be so that no one
will believe him. When you retire at
night think over what you have been
doing during the day. Never be idle;
if your hands can't be employed use
fully attend to the cultivation of
your mind"

TREASURY REPORT SHOWS
MORE LEGAL LIQUOR SOLD
THIS YEAR THAN LAST

The treasury department discloses
that the people of the United States
are consuming more legal liquor this
year than last.
During the first seven months of
1885, the Treasury records show ST.
$1,000 gallons of distilled spirits and
rs, 700 900 barrels of beer, ale, stout
and porter passed Uncle STAINS tax
turnstiles.
The figures showed gain Of 49,
100000 gallons of distilled spirits and
2,9O0,O 900 barrels Of malt liquors over
the first seven months of 1884.
D. James M. Doran, director of the
Distilled Spirits institute, said there
is no way to tell whether total con-
sumption had increased or decreased,
but he attributed the increase in con-
sumption of legal liquors to "the
progress the Treasury is making in
eliminating the bootlegger."

There's Always
Another Year
By MARTHA osTENso

And to think that the bank had to
to fail before you got settled in your
own home. It's just too-cruel!"
"Now, MOTHER" Corinne said with
supreme patience, "don't do that!"
"All right. I'm sorry, darling" her
mother whimpered, and dabbed her
nose with bit of lace and chiffon.
"But I can't help thinking of all the
chances you've had to marry well-of
course they weren't good enough! But
if Harry Richter's father hadn't been
so against Harry's marrying just
now"
Corinne stood up, sighed. "Please,
mother! You're talking as though I
were being sold in a slave market.
Harry knows what he wants. It's his
fathers business he wants-and his
fathers money-not me. Anyow, Pm
not in love with Harry. It's just that
you've been expecting great things
of me-and the miracle didn't come
off! Now, be a good girl and go to
bed. I'm tired"
She kissed her mother, and with
her arms about her propelled her
gently toward the door. Mrs. Meader
murmured a reluctant and tender
good night and Corinne was alone.
She went back to the oval glass of
her ivory dressing-table. When she
glanced at her reflection, it was with
small, curled smile of satisfaction,
in contemplating the fine tapeing Of
her eyebrows, the back-sweep of
glossy waves, patrican-wise, from her
forehead, and the natural, provocative
pout of her red lips.
Finally, she lit a cigarette, got into
bed, and switched off the light. She
stretched out sinuously, enjoying the
smoke and the smooth GOODNESS of the
fine linen sheets, and thinking luxuri-
ously, with frank, rather delicious ex-
element, of Roddy Willard.
