NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS • Cruiser Bill Fight Nears the End; Supply Measures for Army and Navy. By EDWARD W. PICKARD B IWUGliT to time by threats of night sessions made by Senator Hale, cj:tairman of the naval affairs committe<.>, the senators opposing the fifteen cruiser bill abandoned their filibuster tactics -f!nd consented to limItation of debate on the measure. This was to take t'ffect at noon on February ·1 and tile prospect was that a vote would be reached by the middle of the week. If the pacifists succeed in attaching amendments to the house bill making necessary the appointment of a conference committee, there might be a final filibuo>ter against the conference report. One amendment was favored by President Coolidge-the elimination of the clause fixing dates for commencement of the construction of the cruisers. It was made known at the White House that if the bill passed even without the time claus~>, the President will ask for an appropriation for an immediate start in the building pro~ram. Repr<:>sentative Britten o:f Illinois, urging passage of the bill, said early In the week that he was "sure the time limit will be pleasing to President-i.f!ect lloover." But that gentleman Immediately telegraphed to President Coolidge that he had made no public or private statement upon this question, and added: "As you know, I warmly support your 'l'iews and you may so inform others if you wish to do so.'' This telegram was banded to Senator Hale, who read it to the senate, and at the same time he read a message from Paul V. McNutt, national commander of the American Legion, urging passage of the bill with the time clause, on behalf of the Legion. Senators Borah and Walsh both spoke in favor of elimination of the time clauRe, arguing that such action was proper as a preliminary to another disarmament proposal. Senator need or Missouri, who retires to private life on March 4, delivered what will be one of his last speeches, exercising hi~ great powers of ridicule an~ sarcasm against the pacifists and arguing strongly for preparedneHs. to the appeals of R ESPOXDING Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, the appropriations committee of the house reported a naval supply hill · calling for approximately $3Gl,OOO,OOO and providing fun<ls for the arldition of 500 enlisted men to the naval establishment. This would bring- the na 'I'Y personnel up to 84,500. The recommendations of the budget being thus exceeded, the committee, In order to make up the 'deficit, advised the derommission of older ships and the transfer of tht'!r crews to newer ves<iels. The bill's total is about $15,· 000,000 less than was appropriated for the current fiscal year and $70,000,000 less than the estimates submitted to Secretary Wilbur by the heads of the naval bureaus. The War department supply bill, which had been passed by the house, was reported to the senate by Its appropriations committee with an addition of $ii.OOO,OOO, for purely military activities, made to the $447,000.000 total of the house measure. Of the runds added by the senate committee, npproximately $8,000,000 will go for the purchase of new bombing, pursuit and training planes for the air corps, $626,000 for the National Guard maintenance, new construction antl an Increase In the ration allowance, and be approximately $1,000,000 will turnerl over to the organized reflerves. Other senate changes included the addition of two Items providing $81,· 000 for forage for 1,000 horses owned by army officers and $8:2,fi00 for the purchase of GOO additionnl horses for the cavalry, engineet·s anfl m1:11let·y. Both items were approved hy the budget, but had bepn stricl;<•n on t il;v the house. •• T COOLIDGE, PHESIDE his farewell address at dcliwrin:: the semiannual DlQatinJ: of the busluess organ- ization of the ):!'Overnment, dwelt upon the extraordinary prosperity which the nation is enjoying, but warned the country that this can be continued only by the exercise of rigiu economy in federal, state and local expenditures .. While admitting that as a result of the expansion of the country federal e:J.·penditures show a tendency to rl~'<e, 1\Ir. Coolidge warned that the greatest menace to continued prosperity now lies in the rapidly mounting costs of local and state governments. This heavy drain on the earnIngs of the people, he said, "is a red flag warning us of the danger of depression and a repetition of the disaster that overtook the country in the closing days of 1920." The President warmly defended his policy of drastic economy in federal e:-..--penditures, and was seconded In this by Director ot the Budget Lord. RECEIVING few political vlsitor!l and de..-oting part of each week to fishing, Herbert Hoover Is having a fine time down In Florida. 1\Iost interesting of his callers last week was Al Smith, who was stopping in Coral Gables. With John J. Ruscob and W. F. Kenney, the recent Democratic standard hearer rlrove over to Belle Island and spent half an hour chat· t~g with tile man who defeated him. Later he said to the newspar1er mPn: "I fcnnd 1\Ir. Hoover very friendly and affable. We told each other some of the funny things that happened during tile campaign to each of us. but did not talk of anything important. I can't g•' into that any more.'' Thursdny ~Ir. Hoover, still eager to catch a sailfish, went to Long Key on the yacht Saunterer. His guests were Justice and lllrs. Harlan F. Stone, Yerne 1\Iarshall of Cedar Rapid~=;, Iowa, and lllr. and 1\Irs. Mark Sullivan. Correspondents at Miami Beach now believe that l\Ir. Hoover has decided on his cabinet but will not announce his selections until immediately after his Inauguration. They are satisfied that neither Ambassador 1\Iorrow nor Ambassador Fletcher will be secretary of state. There was a report that that portfolio or the attorney generalship might be ofl'ered to Thomas Xelson Perkins, the Boston lawyer who is one of the American alternates in the reparations conference of experts. It was believed Mr. IIoover wanted a New Englander in the cabinet. ~fr. Coolidge also was in Florida last week, hut only fo1· a brief period. Accompanied by Mrs. Coolldge and a few other!', he ran down to ~.Iountain Lake and on Friday delivered an address ut the dedication of the bird sanctuat·y and singing tower established bv Edward W.

Bramwell FOrt Booth is winner in his fight to retain his personal <:on trol of the Salvation Army. But the high council 'l'he chancery ha~n't given up yet. .court in London decided that the council's action ousting the aged general was void because the commander's legal representatives were not permitted to plead his cause before the council voted against him. 'l'herefore the council had to start its proceedings all over again. One o! the leadIng members said that the position of the reform element had been consolidated by the legal proceedings, and that there was no doubt the council wouisi reiterate its previous decision and proceed to elect a new general without further parley. It was said the outstanding candidate for the position was Evangeline Booth, sister of the gC>neral and commander of the Army- in the United Stutes. proclamation by the NaU NDEH tionalist government all China celebrated "Customs Autonomy day" on Friday because Japan, the last of Ute powers to hold out, has finally recog-nized the new Chinef!e tariff and thus admitted China has the right to regulate its own customs rates.

In Ciudad Heal, a hundred miles south of Madrlrl, a body of artillery revolted and ran their guns out into the streets ready to shoot up the city; and in some other plat-es there were incipient uprisings. The government troops were sent into action promptly, and promises of Immunity to all privates and noncommissioned officers induced the mutineers to return to their barracks. Their oflicers were all arrested for trial by court-martial, and Sanchez Guerra, former Conservative party leader, was seized at Yalencia. • dictator of Lithubad uncovered 11 plot against his regime by men who were acting with the knowledge of President Smetona, and he caused the arrest of the chief of staff of the army anti eighteen high officers of the Kovno g-arrison.

CALDWELL WAS RIGHT The basis of treating sicknces has no~ ehanged since Dr. Caldwell left Medical Oollege in 1875, nor since he placed on the market the laxative presQription he had used in his practice. He treated constipation, biliousness, headaches, mental depression, indigestion, sour stomach and other indispositions entirely by means of simple vegetable laxil.tives, herba and roots. Tllese a.re still the ba.sis of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, a. combination of senna. a.nd other mild lterbs, with pepsin. The simpler the remedy for constipation, the safer for the child and for you. And as you can get results in a. mild and safe way by using Dr. Caldwell'a Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with strong drugs? A bottle will las./il several months, a.nd a.ll can use it. It is pleasant to t taste, gentlA in action, and free from narcotics. Elderly people find it ideal. All drug stores have the generous bottles or write "Syrup Pepsin," Dept.
