The children had been playing in the house and, becoming hungry, asked their mother for some bread.

Their mother was too busy getting supper to notice what the youngsters were doing and they began to forage about for themselves. After some pulling and hauling little Joseph got the drawer open and pulled out a stale piece of bread. The children then sat down and began to enjoy a meal of stale bread. In a short time they became ill. Their mother called In Dr Eugene McDonough of 259 Belgrade av.

It is believed that Josephs efforts to get the bread caused him to push it around in the drawer and thus some of the poison clung to it. ARTHUR C.

Smaller types of cruisers with a lesser cruising radius and lesser armament would be of proportionately less value to us, and it would seem that there would be little or no Justification for our building such ships in the future.

The British, on the other hand, with their great string of Naval stations and their adequate facilities for fueling and repair all over the world, naturally favor the building of smaller and less expensive types of Bhips, of which for the same appropriation they can secure more separate units. State, who are earnestly in favor of its adoption by the Senate, both stand foursquare for an authorization for additional cruisers. The President has stressed our need for these cruisers in no uncertain words. I Whose under the circumstances, are we to take?

Britain Now Far Stronger While it is perfectly true that the Naval needs of Great Britain are not necessarily based on the possibility of any hostilities with us, yet the fact remains that she is far stronger than we are at the present timo In a very crucial type of ship and that if she builds up to her expressed Naval needs and we do not she will be In a still stronger position and we shall have lost that position of equality which was the whole basis for the ratio of the Washington conference. The multilateral treaty whereby all of the Important countries of the world agree to renounce war as a national policy is now ready for consideration by the Senate. The hopes of many people in the world are centered on this treaty. In my opinion, it should be ratified by this Senate, and I am confident that it will be ratified. I should not be in favor of its ratification, however, if I thought that thereby in any way our Government was committing itself to a policy that Would lead to neglect of a proper national defense.

King' Moves to Cut Cruisers Senator King of Utah, a determined enemy of the Cruiser Bill, Introduced an amendment which would provide for construction of only five light cruis-ers, to cost not more than 12,000,000 each, and an aircraft carrier. Hia amendment would direct the President to call an international conference in Washington on or before Jan 1, 1930, to which all Nations would be Invited, for the purpose of a further agreement for the limitation of armaments. Enemies of the Cruiser Bill expressed the opinion today that they would be able to prevent final passage of the bill at the present short session of Congress. Its however, took a different view of the situation and insisted the bill would be kept before the Senate once the treaty was out of the way, until it had been disposed of. Needed for Ratio, Says Hale Senator (Hale insisted in his address on the Cruiser BUI that it was the duty of this Government to maintain a Navy adequate for National defense.

He insisted that ratification of the multilateral treaty renouncing war did not remove the need of a cruiser-building program, and pointed out that both President Coolidge and Secretary of State Kellogg, who are in the main responsible for the treaty, favor prompt passage of the Cruiser Bill. The chairman of the Naval Affairs Committee recited the 'facts that led up to the Washington Arms conference in 1921-22, when the United States abandoned its great Naval program and agreed to a 5-5-3 ratio of capital ships with Great Britain and Japan. When this country sacrificed its new capital ships and accepted this ratio, it served notice on the world. Senator Hale, said, that this ratio was the basis upon which the United States proposed to maintain Its Navy Cruisers, he pointed out, are vitally needed by the Navy, to maintain this ratio. Misguided Pacifists I can understand why other countries who are jealous of our power and our prestige should wish to have our Naval strength cut down, though I should resent as a gross Impertinence any attempt on their part to propagandize this country to bring about any such results.

The less powerful we are the less we have to say in the councils of the world, and it is entirely conceivable that other countries should consider it to their advantage that our Naval strength be emasculated, but how any good American can seek to undermine the national defense, It is beyond me to comprehend, and yet many excellent, but misguided people In this country are doing exactly that. $50,000 TO PUBLIC IN G.

He looks as much like Allen as a baby can look like a Wide Cruising Radius The protection of our commerce de volves naturally In large part on our cruisers. For the reasons above given it will be readily seen that it ts of th utmost importance that these cruisers have a wide cruising radius, so that they may not only spend as much time as possible upon their stations, but at all times have enough fuel on board to reach their home ports. The bigger the cruiser, naturally the greater its capacity for carrying fuel, and it is all-important to us to construct for our cruiser service tho largest type of cruiser available under the terms of the Washington conference.

It is also highly Important for us when we send out cruisers to protect our interests in foreign waters away from fueling and repair stations that they be not only self-sustaining but able to look after themselves against any probable enemy that they may encounter. S-Inch Gun Ship Independent i The 8-Jnch gun treaty cruiser has nothing to fear from any other Needs Unchanged by Treaty The present situation of the Navy is not in any way changed by the passage of the treaty. There is nothing In the wording of tho treaty, as Interpreted by the President or in the notes exchanged between the various Governments parties to It. that In any way prohibits the exercise of the rights of self-defense. Indeed, the exercise of these rights is expressly excluded in certain of the aforesaid notes from the operation of the treaty.

The policy of this country has always been to maintain a Navy for defensive purposes. We do not need, and with the will of the American people for peace, shall not need a Navy for perposes of aggression. As long as our Navy Is capable of defending us, our homes and foreign possessions and our home and foreign commerce, we have little to fear from outside aggression.

He said: The one insurmountable bar in reaching an agreement at the Geneva conference for a proportionate reduction In Naval armament was the divergent Naval needs of this country and Great Britain In regard to cruisers.
