In no nneertnln terniH nt tlie first of the
fifteen meetings of the Punuc LrjixiKn

Isft night in the foyer of the Acndeiriy
of Music. The speaker, who wns net

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

"It lies with you whether we. shnll

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

an danger el nn International world

"I lie largest navy in the world never

There were 217 suits brought
against the city for the'elcven months
of this year in which the verdict
wn ngnlnst the municipality and
$-'08,000 wns paid out.
Practically every accident rase,
either thnt of n pedestrian or mo
torist, wns the result of holes, de
pressions or poorly paved and un
repaired streets and sldewnlks.
nnd children, died ns n result of the
hnrdships'they suffered.
"The nctunl cost xvns ever two hun
dred billions of dellnrs, nnd. In addi
tion, fifty billions xvertb of innterlnl thnt
bits been destroyed and thnt must be
replaced.
"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

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

Gcrmnny."

NEW BUREAU CUTS VERDICTS
There's mere In n hole thnn some
people think nt least for the City of
Philadelphia.
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
