The nation that would come to
such a conference and refuse to
agree to any proposition looking to
J disarmament or at least a reduction
1 of its military establishment," said
, General Bliss, "could be written
.
; down as the next Germany and the
| United States could make its plans
accordingly."
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."

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

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.
