WORLD IS READY TO DISARM SAYS* TASKER H. BLISS Washington, Jan. 13.?Should the United States call upon the na tions of the world for "a full free and fair discussion of reduction of armaments, the favorable response would be prompt and inevitable," the house naval committee was told today by Gen.

General Bliss preceded before the committee, Secretay Daniels who appeared again to give the commit tee detailed information regarding the relative naval strength of the ! great powers. The forme^ chief of j staff of the army said his associa tion with the. high military repre sentatives of the other powers at Paris had confirmed his belief that all of the great nations of the world were ready to. talk disarmament seriously. I "Our present torm 01 civinzawon I cannot stand the great strain of ! military preparation much longer," General Bliss declared. "The world war was a terrific* strain on the civilization. The next " war will be very muchc worse. Fear is the basis of war preparation. This is a busi ness proposition and we should de temine whether there is any reail bjasis for the refusal of these great military and, naval programs. It would not be necessary to have all the nations of the world repre sented at J;he suggested conference, the general said, if the United States, Great Britain, France, Japan and Italy reached an agreement The smaller nations would willingly ac s>aAa +y\ on\r nwnnsal nut forward in w ???v r~-r xr? - , good faith by these five great pow ers, he declared. General Bliss said that he had dis cussed disarmament "in a general: way and incident to other matters,"! with Marshal Foch and high British ! military leaders. "Did you ever talk it over, with any of Japan's or I tally's officials?" asked Chairman Butter. "I believe I did with Italian rep resentatives" was the reply. "Of course the subject only came up at! that time incidenally." "If it were left to me I would not disarm an American soldier nor lay up an American ship until all the geat powers had reached an agree ment," declared the general. "If such a conference were to De neia aiid if the secretary were to make public every day an abstract of the proposition put forward and the ar guments for and against with the names of the national representative who made them the common people j of the world would not allow the conference to dissolve until at least the first step forward had been taken. "I do not care what the cabi nets of the world think, the masses of the people, who pay the taxes, have the vital interest in this sub ject." /IMr.S RANK" f XI 1 V-*ky AS A.

Carolina $j PLANS THRIFT WEEK TO PUT ALL IDLE MONEY TO WORK Several National Organizations Are; Co-operating To Encourage Habits Of Systematic Saving And Wise Investment. Concerted efforts to teach the Amer ican people the importance of puttins every dollar in the nation at work in 1921 are to be made during the week beginning January 17, 1921. This will | be nationally observed as "Thrift Week." Under the general direction of the Young Men's Christian Associa tion, organizations interested in bank savings, insurance, home building and sound investment securities will carry to each part of the nation the gospel of "Work and Save." A program ol - ? 1 n1o/\ nrlll V* o r?Ko AM'oH UUUSUdI 1UIC1COI aiou VTIU uu uuoti ? vu by the Young Women's Christian As sociation, which already has done such excellent work along the lines of the proposed campaign. ' The Savings Division of the United States Treasury Department is much Interested In "Thrift Week," and through the Government Savings Or ganization in this Federal Reserve District is "preparing to give valuable co-operation. It is issuing a pamphlet entitled "Boss Your Dollars," for the use of boys and young men in indus tries. The key-note of this pamphlet is found in the statement?"The time to begin to save Is the day you begin to work." One" of the great needs of America today, bankers and students of econ omy agree, is the working dollar. Countlfess millions are sleeping lazily between mattresses and In bureau drawers and in the old broken tea-pot on the miantle. It is the purpose of "Thrift Week" to wake up these drowsy dollars and P"t them to work to increase active capital for the ben ent or every individual ana every in dustry in the country and for the na tion at large. As a means of stimulating the sav ings movement the United States Treasury Department will offer during 1921 two new savings securities in ad dition to the 25-cent Thrift Stamp, the $5 War Savings Stamp and the $100 and $l',000Treasury Savings Certificates. The new offerings are a $1 non-inter est bearing Treasury Savings Stamp and a 525 Treasury Savings Certificate which will bear interest at the rate of 4 per cent, compounded quarterly if held until maturity, that is, five years. ' These new issues, it Is believed, will not only help the savings movement In the public schools where it is al ready in such high favor, but they will serve to stimulate the work along other linpR and it is tn cive the move-. I merit a strong impetus that the United States Treasury Department plans to co-operate so fully in the national "Thrift Week" program. Wounded By Accidental Discharge of His Duty General Stonewall Jackson was a kindly man but devotion to duty was his watchword He was a soldier first and a considerate gentleman after wards. For instance, a captain on hia staff had roused hia Ire mere than once by sins of omission along the line of duty. Just before the battle of Gaines' Mill, the captain's services were required to catty an important dispatch, but he could not be found at headquarters. An orderly, sent to search for him, reported he had been wounded. "Wounded!" exclaimed Major El wood, another membter of the staff. "Why there has been no fighting since I saw him late last night." Stonewall's beard began to bristle. "Captain Blank was undoubtedly wounded by the accidental discharge of his duty," he snorted. Thousands of Americans today are fooling with the "unloaded" gun of duty. It is the duty of every man to provide for his future and for the safety and happiness of those depend ent upon him, to lay^side regularly a certain portion of the yield of his hands and brain. Properly discharged, that duty is a weapon of safety and protection. Improperly discharged? like the "unloaded" gun?It may crip pie you for life and ruin the future of j those dear to you. The only safe way to discharge that rfntT In thrniich Qmmri nrnfltohlo rocr. . ular investment. Such investments I are now ready at hand. The United i States Government will continue to is-1 sue the Government Savings Securi- I ties which have been the safeguard ol the savings of so many workers of the country since 1917. Through these in vestments the money you save can be made to yield a safe and profitable re-I turn. Stonewall "seen his duty and he done it." It you see your duty, you can discharge it through regular sav ing and investment in government se curities. Discharge your duty but don't do it accidentally, like Stonewall Jackson's young captain. There are no habits that so surely lead to real success as those of Saving; no power Is so great as the power of thrift. Learn to SAVE money. A part of what you make regularly put into War Savings Stamps will in a short tint tart you on the road to success. J.
