Senator Borah of Idaho, who was the principal speaker, again advo- cated an agreement between the United States, Great Britain and Japan to reduce naval armaments, and charged the authors of programs for increased armaments for the world with being “sedulous patrons of bol- shevism, painstaking and industrious gardeners of unrest and misery.” Blames Burdens for Unrest. “I want to tell you,” he said, “that the ties whick bind peoples to their | goveruments are snapping every- { where because of the great burden of H naments.

BRITISH FLAG TORN DOWN Doctor's Neighbors Rescue It From | Irish Sympathizers. BOSTON, March 28.—A British flag, flying beside the American flag from a window at the home of Dr. May- nard Ladd, formerly a major in the American Red Cross, was torn down !and trampled in the street by men ywho had been watching a parade in honor of Lord Mayor O'Callaghan of Cork, Ireland. Neighbors rescued the flag and took it in to Dr. Ladd. He went to the door. holding the flag, and asked that those respon- sible for the incident make them- selves known. No one responded and he nailed the flag back in its place. After the standard had been torn down the doctor's wife, Mrs. Annal Coleman Ladd, author-sculptor and founder in Paris of the American Red Cross studio for portrait masks for | mutilated soldiers, stepped out of the house waving a small British flag. Dr. Ladd was at the door, and when a man in the street snatched the small bunting from Mrs. Ladd's hands the physician gave chase. He overtook him and retrieved the flag.

Little known to the public at large, the paintings| | that Mr. and Mrs. Taft have acquired in the past twenty years are noted in the small circle of the artistic.
