GRAY DISAPPROVES CHIP-ON-SHOULDER POLICIES FOR U. S.

BOY HERO HONORED BY BELGIAN KING

Small-Navy Man Believes in Adequate Defense But Frowns on Trouble-Seek-ing Parade of Arms. BY LEASED WIRE) WASHINGTON. Dec. 3. Uncle Sam hae, no business to strut around with a chip on his shoulder, in the opinion of Representative Flnly H. Gray, of Connersville, the Indiana member on the committee on naval affairs. And if Mr. Gray and those so-called "small navy men" in the congress have their way. Uncle Sam will do no such thing, now or hereafter. Mr. Gray believes in adequate national defense. He does not believe, however, that the federal government

should arm itself to the teeth and then 1 go parading around looking for; trouble. It developed today that his views are shared by every member of1 the Indiana delegation, most of whom decried in no uncertain terms the jiugo speech delivered in the house last week by Representative Gardner, of Massachusetts. j Points to European War. "By reason of the events of the J Kuropean war, 1 am more convinced 1 than ever before that rivalry among; the nations in navy building, resulting in excessive armament and overprc-', paredness, instead of being an insurance of peace, as has been asserted, has the effect of precipitating war and bringing on international conflicts," said Mr. Gray, today. "Such rival nations have been the first to be involved in war, and by their declarations will be the last to agree to peace. "I sincerely believe that the true policy of this nation is that of defense iiu;tead of the to-called 'world-power' policy and rivalry to embroil us in

international disputes and abroad.

CHECK FORGER

(Continued from Page One.) Archer wrote, pathetically, "Christmas eve is near and I am far away from home." Employs Young Man. "When Archer arrived In Richmond he represented himself to be an insurance man. Calling at the Husson grocery he asked Forest Jordan, who works at the grocery and Is a son of Secretary Jordan of the Commercial club, If he would not like to have a job which would pay him $75 a month. The young man said he would and yesterday met Archer at the Y. M. C. A. Archer "employed" him as his clerk and gave him an order on an express company for a typewriter, which he said would arrive from Chicago today. Tuesday afternoon Archer appeared at the Husson grocery again and said he had to have some money to pay

young Jordan and he offered Mrsi Husson the forged check on the New Castle bank; She refused to caBh it and he eaid he would get the Loehf & Klute company to cash it, although he had previously made an unsuccessful attempt to cash the check at that store. Caught In Act. When Archer departed Mrs. Husson informed the police of Archer's actions and an officer arrived at the Ixehr & Klute store just as Archer was asking that his check be cashed. Today Archer admitted that he did not expect a typewriter from Chicago and had offered young Jordan a Job in the hope of impressing Mrs. Husson that he was a man of means so that she would cash his check. "Why did you attempt to pass a forged check; you look like a sensible and respectable young fellow?" Prosecutor Reller asked Archer. "I was up against it. I had no job and I had to have money," he replied, tears in his eyes.

ITALY IS EXPECTED TO JUMP INTO WAR

Lloyd Rates Jump 21 Per Cent to Insure Against War Declaration.

BY LEASED WIRE LONDON, Dec. 23 Rates of Insurance against Italy's participation In the great war took a sudden leap today. Lloyd's underwriters quoted thirty guineas (31) per cent to insure against a declaration of war between Italy and Germany or Austria and between Italy and Turkey within a month. The sudden increase was due to information that has reached diplomats in London. It is plainly the impression in diplomatic circles that Italy, Roumania and Greece intend to cast

tbelr lot with France, Russia and England. Settlement of differences between Roumania and Bulgaria, was the first ptep toward this action. It Is expected that Servia and Greeco will next appease the Bulgarians and when the Balkan tangle Is finally wtraightened out Bulgaria may also Join the allies.
