P (o Eh)i’fiER 16, 1921 ATTITUDE OF ITALY ON ARMS QUTLINED Advisor of Delegation Ad- dresses Council for Limita- | tion of Armaments. The attitude of Italy on important questions now before the conference on arms limitation was outlined Wed nesday by Guiseppe Gentile, officia: advisor of the Itallan delegation, in an address before the national council for the limitation of armaments. | . An idealistic spirit, he said, animates | Italy in the consideration of the in- ternational questions at the confer- ence. The delegates from'that coun- try, he continued, brought to the con- ference practical experience on the | subject of land disarmament, through | the successful reduction of the Italian | armies from 5,000,000 to.200,000 men, | and the reduction of this force is now being. considered 50 as to make the: standing army 175,000 including 90, 000 police. ! Italy Would Follow Lead. He continued, in part, as follows: “If the great powers disarm wholly, Italy would be gld to do so. We knew that we could not recover from the war if we taxed ourselves r great armies; we know that none TAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, DEC Admiral De Bon Holds Record For Kissing Yanks in France \ THE EVENING ISTARVING RUSSIANS-— - | DEVOUR STEWED CAT; HAVE SAWDUST DIET - Would you like stewed cat for ‘breakfast? Or fried rat? Pigweed? Clay? Sawdust? Many starving Russians are forced to eat foods such as this, “and many even more indigesti- ble,” says the American Reliel Administration. More than a mil- lion children are being saved from the above diet this winter by the administration. Food remittances may be ob- tained in units from $10 to $50, and can be secured from the ad- ministration’s office, 42 Broadwa; New York city. The remittances are sent to Russia to designated friends or Institutions as stipu- lated by the sender. permitted under the necessary re-! strictions. “In the questions of the far east, particularly as _they relate to China, Italy intends to play an im- portant part, and she stands for the ! free development and integrity of the great Chinese nation. Favors Further Conferences. “The informal proposal of further conferences to adjust the economic chaos of the world and to further consider the problem of armament is heartily indorsed by Italy.” lative propositions have with difi- culty becn defeated in the last Con- gress—in some cases only through non-concurrence by the Senate. Assaults Resisted. L They openly avow that they woul tear away ths capital's financial shield and buckler—the organic act of 1878 —in order to diminish or destroy na- tional participation in capital main- tenance. They would by double taxa- tion compel the local community to raise all of the revenue needed. They would substitute for the definite pro- portionate contribution of one-halt by the nation an undetermined. indefinite contribution, reduced to nothing or to a_very little, and that little to be given fluctuatingly, capriciously, spas- modically, from session to session. as the spirit moves Congress. They would deny or minimize into a mole- hill the national obligation: they would magnify into a mountain the local obligation. Washington desperately resisted these successive assaults upon the law which embodied recognition of the true relation of the nation to thé capital, by which for thirty-seven years both nation and nation's city had benefited, and in which is crystal- lized a financial principle of equity that is vitally essential to the capi- tal's prosperity and general welfare. Through the faithfulness and wisdom of national legislators in Senate and House these attacks were ultimately baffled. But the last attack, that made by an amendment or rider on the District appropriation bill, approved by the House and condemned by the Senate, was finally voted down by the House only through the substitution for it of a provision creating a_joint com- mittee to examine thoroughly into the whole subject and to report the proper proportionate contribution toward capital_upbuilding of nation and Dis- trict, respectively. ‘Washington welcomed this tribunal.

Admiral de Bon, chief naval adviser, is the hero, and sed only men, other heroes— American generals and lesser officers, with an occasional doughboy, leather- neck or blushing gob sprinkied in for flavor.

Then Tame the Kiss. Then came the kiss. As each Ameri- can stood vroudly crect, the new red ribbon of the Legion de Honneur on his swelling chest, the admiral would lean gracefully forwa and press his 1ips to a sunburned cheek. It was not _one of 'those “Ooh-la-l: kisses of Paris, but a systematic business kiss observing all formalities and ful- filling officlal requirements. “Just like getting kissed through a dougnut,” was the way it was de- scribed by one American general, ex- perienced in the art. However, any signal corps photographer who failed to record his commanding officer at that proud moment had outlived his usefulness with that division. There are several hundred Ameri cans, still remembering it an im- pressive part of the never-to-be-for- gotten ceremony, who will be happy to know that Admiral de Bon, naval ex- pert. with the French delegation, is the same serious officer with white beard and gold braid who bestowed the last kiss of France as they sailed for home.

SPECIALISTS IN PLAYER PIANOS For many months men prejudiced by erroneous beliefs, who think that the nation is under little or no obli- gation to contribute toward capital ance, have openly assaulted fously undermined the half- and-half law and its basic principle of definite proportionate contribution by the nation toward the upbuilding of the nation’s city. As representa- tives they have denounced the ex- penditure of a cent of the money ontributed in part by their con- tituents to relieve the shameless mendicants of the federal District. They have bitterly assailed Wash- ingtonians as beggars of national alms, masquerading as poor, while in fact the wealthiest per capita in taxable resources of all Americans. They have contended that the full obligation of municipal maintenance and development of the capital is upon the local taxpaying community, and that the latter is perfectly able, without a cent of national contribu- tion, to bear this burden if fairly taxed. They have demanded the re- peal of the half-and-half law as a fraud upon the nation. They have sought to increase District tdxation 50 per cent by one measure and 100 per cent by others and these legis SPECIAL NOTICES. | SPECIAL NOTICES. through the gated citizens' or- ganizations, to utilize this opportunity and to destroy these harmful preju- dices. cost of the development of the na- tion's cit therefore the half-and- half law should be repealed and the sysfem of indefirite, voluntary and fluctuating national contributions be substituted in its place, in order that the nation may more worthily recog- nize and meet its magnified capital obligation, and that not being limited to a meager one-half of the capital expenditures, it may lavish unstint- edly in capital upbuilding a sum far in excess of that obtained involun- tarily -through the half-and-half ar- rangement” Opposite Results From Same Law.

At this juncture appear other friends of Washington, who join forces with the unfriends of the capital in the House to repeal the half-and-half law and to substitute for definite propor- tionate contribution one that is indef- inite, fluctuating and capricious. Thus many unfriends and some friends of the capital agree upon the same pol- icy with diverse and contradictory motives, and with the expectation of securing directly opposite results.
