PARIS, May 2.—Cigarette smok- ers in France are applying the match with trepidation these days, reports from varfous sections of the country telling of smokers burned about the face or hands by the explosion of tiny capsules con- cealed in the tobacco. The motive of the persons “load- ing"” the cigarettes is as much of a mystery as thelr identity, but the city laboratory is at work on two samples furnished by one of the victims, a Parisian mechanic, and it is hoped some clue will be “Frozen Paper” Closes Bank.

Bliss and Admiral Rod- gers Expound Views on Pre- paredness Over Radio. Arguments for and against military preparedness as the principal reliance for peace were presented in a radio debate last night by former chiefs of the Navy and Army general staffs. Admiral “William L. Rodgers repre- sented the proponents of “peace by jrmed might” and Maj. Gen. Tasker 1. Biiss those indorsing ‘“peace by co- operation.” Both have been retired after service careers of unusual length and scope. Reviewing what he termed the basic differences hetween the national view- point in the United States and that in her potential enemles, Admiral Rod gers insisted that the “present heed less attitude toward preparation, and particularly naval, invites foreign con tempt and at any moment may bring dlsaster.” Security Key to Problem. Gen. Bliss contended that the world peace problem was “identical with the problem between France and Germany security.” Disarmament should not be resorted to, however, he added, *“ex cept as a result of * * * an agreement among competing nations, loyally ac- cepted and adhered to. f all armaments could be held at a reasonabi minimum,’ continued Gen. Bliss, “sufficient for the mainte- nance of peate and order within the state, but insufficient to tempt the state almost without warining to at tack a similarly placed neighbor, such armaments might play a real part in the maintenance of peace. “The first step will be taken when we admit, whether we like it or not, that the world is an assoclation of states having common Interests.” Admiral Rodgers warned that in Eu- rope “population has pressed more closely upon means of support than with us; character there hos been formed by fighung with man more than with nature; mutual helpfulness is not so ¢haracteristic as with Never Adequately Prepared. Although never adequately pared for war, he said, the Ameri people are ‘“both militant and senti- | mental,” and “If either our sympathies | or interests are adversely touched by | a forelgn power we shall commit the | country to war rather than sacr sentiment.” The new imm! law should “please every pacifist,” he asserted, since it “retards growth of population and in o far it hinders the growth of an aggressive spirit in our pedple.” Admiral Rodgers quoted as an appropriate parody “Thrice is he armed who hath his quarrel just, but four times he who puts his fist in fust.” ~ PLEASE LEAVE THE e the company stock be held in trust for his granddaughter, Anita Oser, daughter of Max Oser and Mathilde McCormick Oser.
