Disarm Conference Close-Ups

BY JIARLEN' E. PEW tSTAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE "WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 T.ie third plenary session of the armn conference is for France and I'remler Briand is using It today to tell the world that France desires a reduction of operating expense of her army and In principles believes in a reduction of land arma

ment. But Insists before she limits her army's power she is given guarantees

of protection from attaejvs. particularly by Russia and a re-energized Germany.

(Briand feels his subject deeply and

speaks with deep emotion.

The open sessions are colorful and exciting, but not important at this

tage. The entire land armament limi

ed for the present and the real business lies in the secret negotiations. Thore la

evidence of rapid progress in the dlr

ection of agreements on naval limitation

The news that leaks from the closed

shutters is that Great Britain and Japan

are taking more liberal views of their

respective modillcation suggestions. The

former concerning aubmaiine and re

placement, and the. latter concerning the

proposed ratio of 600,000 tons of capital ships for Britain and the United Stales and 300,000 for Japan: Na one on the

outside knows that Balfour and Kato have ceased to demand modifications of the Hughes' plan. But there are indi

cations that their resistance has been

materially reduced.

It Is also believed there has been Im

portant progress toward the elirnina

has worked hard upon this issue. Just how it will be eliminated and whether there will be any substitute for it.

chief aim of this conference has been

and Is to bring about an understanding

between the United States and Japan

which will prevent war. That the sit

How Much is a Dollar?

When you pay $50.00. $60.00 or $100.00 for a phonograph, how much more do you honestly believe you can get for your money and how much more do you believe can be honestly given you for your dollar. It all depends cm your viewpoint. If it is your opinion that you can get more than a dollar for a dollar, you will probably listen to the lure of something for nothing" advertisements that are Hooding the papers at the present time. If, however, you will use the good common sense that you were born with you will realize that no man has as yet invented a system whereby he can pay rent, light, heat, etc., sell below cost, and still show a profit. It can't be done. High class merchandise such as the Brunswick is never offered at reduced prices, because they are priced right to begin with. As an example, we have a very fine Brunswick Phonograph which sells at. $65.00. We would not say it was worth $100.00, because we have some very fine Brunswicks that are worth $ 1 00.00. But the phonographs at $65.00

are worm every ou or .poj.w. THINK IT OVER YOU CANNOT GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING

day that the relationship of the two

powers was sufficiently strained and complex to cause deep anxiety not only

at Tokio and Washington, but at Lon

don, I'aria and Rome. There is talk today that the conference will yield important results in thla respect. It is believed that the present week will

reveal some details of a plan to Insure better understanding: and possibly some scheme of guarantees.

It must not be understood that the

foregoing; remarks Indicate that all is

harmony behind the iron grills of the

conference hall or that the negotia

tions have passed the tentative discussion stage. Japan and Britain bicker and attempt to whittle the original

Hughfs scheme, according; to their respective alleged advantages. But today's evidence is that the delegations are making progress. There is a spirit of five and take and the delegates appear to desire positive results. "Ladles Bay" at the conference would be a misnomer. But the presence of a large number of women today made the galleries look like a popular theatrlcalmatinee performance. Eeats formerly occupied by congressmen were today turned over to women friends in large numbers.
