It looks as if the great governments of the world were sincerely trying to get together on a program for limiting army and navy and other warlike expenditures. There is probably no international movement which woukd be more warmly approved:by the great mass of the people of every nation. President Harding and Secretary Hughes are entitled to, and will receive, the most énthusiastic support of all real Americans in their efforts to bring success to this undertaking. For only by actually making a sweeping reduction in the size of the national military forces—with an eye to even= tually abolishing them—will the civilized world accomplish one of the great aims with which it went into the last great war—to abolish all war off the face _ ofthe globe. The prayers of millions of mothers will arise for bringing the hearts of the envoys extraordinary who shall gather in this conference into ac- ' cord FOR REAL DISARMAMENT. IMAYOR HEARS CRUELTY CASES.

Get aequainted with Mrs. Casper Cassidy. O* Mrs. Cassidy wants a divorce! E Sad, isn’t it, and she ‘so young! But she: doesn’t look very sad. ; Oh, well, that’s the way with a lot of these modern young wives. Marry in haste and repent at leisure, as the sayin’ is! And you wouldn’t believe it, but Casper beats her! For almost a week, now, Mrs. Cassidy has been haunting the offices of Seattle lawyers, seeking bargain rates in divorces. A She has met lawyers of all sorts—shyster and ethical, dignified and jazzy. One lawyer tried in a fatherly sort of way to talk her out of her di@rce notion. Another wanted to rush right into court. He probably needed the fee. So she has a very fair size-up of our lawyers, h, this sunny, blue-eyed Seattle blonde. She knows whi onés are inclined to flirt a bit with their’clients, which ones growl and scowl. She knows which- are the money-grabbers and. which the ethical. And beginning tomorrow in The Star she’s going to expose the whole lot of ‘em for you. In that inimitable, humorous way of hers she'll tell you what she knows Claire Windsor is a former Seattle sirt. He real name is Cronk. She formerly attended the Univer- sity of Washington and was a popu- Jar member of local society circles. She first gained recognition as a dancer, being a student of the Doug- las dancing school. She went to Los Angeles, where she secured work as an extra girl in the movies. She then attracted the attention of Lois Weber, and has been featured in Lois Weber productions as a full fledged star. Her parents, former Seattle resi- |dents, now live In Los Angeles. Chaplin today notified Los An- geles police that he would pay $1,000 reward for the rescue of Miss Wind. BOY ACCUSED KILLING MATE qi with the disarmam: eee BY A.
