The speaker, who wns net enly ameiiR the highest military of ficials of the United States in tlie wnr, but wns one ei inc nvc .picnipeten-. larles nt l'nris, made nn earnest and ilcxpient pica against the possibility of (ny such world conflagration in the future. "Tf the nations will take the first jtcp of coming together, " he Mild, "jemc solution ought net te be very tilt pcult. 'Tour of them are still nrmed te the troth nn lnnd nnd sea, each in fear of Hbat the ethers may de te nntiens from which they themselves linve no fear nnd we nrc arming for fejir that this may in a tnennce te us.

We will be recreant In our duty te humanity if We de net tnke it nnd take it new." In developing his Idea of applying limitations only te armies nnd net te a forces. General Bliss: undoubtedly surprised his audience, but lie brought It forth with convincing logic in the rnur'e of his main speech nnd in his answers te nucstiens nflerwnrd. It was evident that he had in mind I the insuperable objection of Great Hrit- ! Bin te any Interference In her trnill- tienal naval policy for the protection of Irr world-wide dominions and lier com cem metre. Hut lie claimed that the very discussion of the naval question was ii Heek te the first step in disarmament tnd that it was net a vital question njliew. Ne Conquests by Navies I would hilve no restrictions nn linnl forces or en land fortifications," he said "The consideration of this Is s block tn the very first little trembling step Put it out of the way. There is an danger el nn International world wnr resulting from it. "I lie largest navy in the world never cnnquereil any territory. They had te have an army te de It." Oncrnl Hllss outlined the concrete tiropesitiniis that he would have the Vnited Slatri make te the nntiens of the world They were: Tn agree en a' date for the abolition of nm military svstem which 'is selclr TlCrr.ai. in illtnrlindniinl ..-...

"Nine billions of dollars is the an nual interest te lie paid en the xvnr bills evetf with disarmament. "In mm the annual bill for the maintenance of armies was two billions three hundred millions; it Is nlere than double that new. Sixteen billions Is the total continuing nnuual bill." General Uliss based much of his ar gtiment en the fact that the nations of the world hax-e bound themselves. In the preamble te the peace treaty, te take up the question of limiting armaments ns seen as Germany shall have carried out the previsions of the treaty. The clause of the preemble xvhlcb lie read xvns : "In order te fender possible ttif Initi Initi Initi otieu of a general limitation f arma ments among all nations, Germany undertakes strictly te observe the mili tary nnd air clauses which fellow." Twenty-seven nations signed thnt agreement, he said. Later, xx'hcn asked from the deer xvhether Germany xvas maintaining geed faith in carrying out her part of the treaty, he surprised his hearers by saying : ."I took vnrticular care te make in quiries before leaving Washington along that very line. T can say this. The previsions of the treaty of peace arc being carried out by Germany as rap idly as can be reasonably expected. It is a long process; you can have no con ception of the Immensity of the task. Hut it is being done very satisfactorily. I am amazed that they hnve ninde any thing like the progress that they have." Ilelshcvlsin a Hindrance Bolshevism reared its bend mere than ince, both during the speech and the following questieunaiie. "The situation in Itussia," said Gen eral Hllss, "Is undoubtedly n great ob stacle te International disarmament. Kussia Is tinder the control ni a few men mere despotic than the czar him self. There is nothing te de but xvalt until that problem selves Itself. "And it "is inconceivable that this Russian problem will net at some time I he solved and xvill no longer be n hin drance te (lie solution of this ether one." Later, in answering a question, he said : "I don't knew hew 20-inch guns nre going te keep this propaganda out of tlie United States. We had n discussion in Paris xvhen It looked as though the Itol Itel slievists might break their way out. Marshal Kech recommended the estab lishment of a 'sanitary cordon' te keep it in check. "While xve xvere talking about it, xve found ex'idenccs thnt helshevism hnd broken out back of xvherc he intended te place thnt line. "Yeu can step the Helshevist armies hill I don't see hew jeu can step an idea, whether it is geed or bad, by bajenets, Helshevism, outside of Itus sia, is a problem for each individual country." General Hliss was prompt nnd un hesitntlng in nnsxvering questions until some one nsked : "Te wbnt extent did the I'Uited States xvin the xx-arV" When the laughter subsided, he shook Ills bead. "That is net relevant te m.v subject," he said. "I am net prepared te answer." Illustrates Disarmament In answer ten quer.x by Jehn Cndwal Inder, he discussed alliances as against disarmament. "If xve pet together about a table te discuss a matter," he said, smiling, "and I see, sticking out of your pocket the hilt of a butcher knife nnd you set out of mine the butt of a revolver, xve nre net likely te have a friendly discus sion. Hut if I sny te you, 'Will you put your knife ever there if I put my rex-elver there':' We could get together. We must de things se xve are sure we cannot suddenly hurt ench erbcr." The nudlence that greeted the speaker was one of the most brilliant nnd truly representative of Philadelphia that, has ever gathered at a public function in this city. Men xvhese names are house hold words xvere te be seen en every row. Their interest was ex idenced h the fuel thnt questions xxere nsked net. only by Mr. ('adxvnllnder, but by Kllis Ginabcl, former Stnte Senater Mo Me lllienuy nnd Adam Gimhcl, te mi.v nothing of .Mike Deriziis, once Helm's chnmpien xvrcstler nnd foetbnll star, xvhe tried te embroil Knglnnd from the back of the hall. Dozens of ether questions xxere xvritten en slips of pnper and sent up te the chairman, IMvvnrd Hek, for submission te the spenker. Adam Glutei's question brought nut n snappy answer thnt evoked the most applause. "IIexv can you compel the nations te disarm?" Mr. Gimhcl asked. "Yeu can't" snid the general grimly, "''but I'd like te make it possible te find out xvhiit nation is going te be the next Gcrmnny."

A tidy Income for nny mnn, If one icrkened in the hundreds of thousands can be considered such these days. Is paid out by the city every year becaus' of holes depressions in the streets ami pavements. Hundreds of persons each year bring suit against the city for accidents en the streets and sidexvnlks. Seme break an nnkle by stepping Inte a hole as they alight from n trolley car ; seme stumble, fall and break n limb e-r n rough pavement; seme accidents occur nhii motorists strike badly paved streets; and a great many people de their best te "put it ever en, the city" xvhether or net it is the city's fault, according te Jeseph K. C'ostclle. chief of the Hureau of Claims, in the department of the city solicitor. "Our claims paid out for the eleven months' of this year," said Mr. Costelle, "amount te SatlS.OOO. while these for the corresponding period of liUf). went way above this mark, reaching SI85, i70, or ever txvice as much." And lie ndded with n Iniigb, "but xve de our best te keep up xvltli the times, nnd since the high cost of living is new coming dexvn. It is only right and proper that our claim payments should decrease correspondingly." The average amount, of each claim verdict which went ngainst the city this year was .ffirii, as against 51010 for MID. The highest verdict awarded by the courts this year amounted te 22,000 nnd the lowest $25. During the eleven months of this year there hnve been 217 damage suits brought against tlie city nnd 272 during the corresponding period of Inst year. The bureau of claims is centinunlly en the lookout for professional claim ants, people xvhe get hurt i.j it trolley accident and make an effort te sue the city ns well ns the transit company for the same injury, or people xvhe "fake" or magnify their physical damages. The bureau maintains a large staff of investigators and xxerkers, and as seen as an accident is reported, a com plete report of all particulars is drnwn up se that in case the injured person JAR CITY TREASURY Little Xmas Sightseer in Stere Finds a Real ss- K WAS se little jeu'd nl nl mest xvender hew he slid into the busy holiday decked fix-e-atnl-ten-ccnt store without having n policeuwin step nnd nsk him where his mother xvns.
