FRIDAY, FEB. 4, 1921 INTERNATIONAL REDUCE ARMA ~ BY MONDELL IN HOUSE SPEECH WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—Favoring an. international agreement for a limitation of war establishments and expen- ditures as “absolutely essential if we are to avoid the bank- ruptcy of some of the more important nations of the world,” warning that if such an arrangement is not seen reached the fault will be ours, before the house naval committee, de- clared it to bo the duty of the United States to lead the way. “Strangely enough, however,” he declared, “we are the only great na- tion that since the world war has offi- cially taken a position fayorable to the increase rather than a decrease or. armaments and expenditures.” Backing this up, the Wyoming con- gressman stated that, while the peo- ple of this country “are not profound- ly impressed with official programs,”} the people of other nations would take such programs and announcements from seats of high executive authority here with all the seriousness that we Feceive the announcements’ of other executives of foreign nations. “In other words, what the secretaries of, »war and navy announce and propose are accepted by the world at large, as we would accept similar announce- ments from like sources in “Surope. Viewed in this light, let us see what the official rrogram has been: “Following the great war the secré- tary of War proposed a permanent establishment of approximately’ one- half million men and. in addition to that a plan of military service, under the name of military training, which would give us a total of men under arms constantly of from two to two and one-half million men. ‘The cost of such an establishment it is difficult to ac- curately estimate, But the secretary estimated for the regular and perma- nent establishment and annual outlay of nearly a billion ddllars, to which at least another billion should be added if the entire program were carried out —a program of two and one-half mil- lion men under arms at a cost of two billion dollars annually, as compared With a total strength of the military M ayflower Only . s \. 7 Ninety Feet in { Length, 20 Wide BARNSTABLE, Mass., Feb. 4.—Di- mensions of Pilgrim ship Mayflower 4s gleaned from records of.

He added that the records gave AGREEMENT TO MENT FAVORED Mondell, appearing establishment in 1916 of approximate- ly one hundred thousand men and a total expenditure of $109,140,225. We do not take that program very seri- ously, most of us, but that is the an- nounced military program of America which went forth to an astounded, astonished and war-weary and bank- rupt world. “The announcements and proposal of the secretary of the navy were even more startling.. He asked for an ap- propriation of $679,515,731. He wanted “incomparably the greatest navy in the world” and at a time when naval strategists and naval commanders the world over were seriously questioning the value of the super-dreadnaught. We hays ‘net followed that program; we shail not follow it. But that is the word’ that goes out to all the world from alleged peace-loving, nof-mili- taristic America as the official an- nouncement of the administration, ac- cepted abroad as a mandats to, of not an expression of the will and purpose of the American people. “The amazing thing with regard to these announcements; the thing of deep significance emphasizing the the peopl world’s weariness of war; the world’s Se . inch guns under present or probable $150,000,000 this year in construction future conditions of naval warfare. “In the meantime, we are blowing lenged as to its val Che Casper Daily Crisune WHAT SHALE | EAT?

He figures that at the end cf the present year he will have handed over his counters one million lunches. But he deplores the fact that many of his Patrons obstruct the way for «ther leustomers by taking on an average of a “minute and a half’ to decide what they want to eat. 2 “It' takee longer,” the manager said, “for my counterman to rsaist the average customer to make up his mind than to actually serve him. ‘It costs me money," be seid, re- gretfully. “Persons who «re other- wise prospective patrons do not come in to my restaurant because they can see through the windows that all the chaifs ‘are occupied and the cuunter lined with “doubtfuls.’ “I cannot suggest to ‘please make up your mind before you anproach the counter; that would be poor busi- ness.” Efforts have been made to cope with this problem, the mazayer said. tAttractive and suggestive signs were a SS AND NOW COMES THE THUMB WATCH—First it was the wrist watch, |'suspended from the ceiling to cntch then the ankle timepiece.

Besides being used to gravel sev- eral miles of the Alcova road, the shovel was used to widen the danger- ous Bessemer canyon and cut down to even grade several bad dips in thxt toad. The work of widening the can- yon ia considered by road experts to be one of the best pieces of road work ever done in this part of the country and transformed the hazardous river pass into a comparatively safe drive at a nominal expense.
