HE CITES CHINA'S CASE (Br AaoxUue rru.) St. Louis, Mo., Dec, 4. Gen, John J. Pershing today made a plea for a larger American military establish ment ao that America will not "like China, become the football of fortune, subject to the dictations from abroad and possible disruption from within." The general spoke at a chamber of commerce luncheon, attended by busi ness men and members of clvio and women's organizations. He declared the present trouble In the far and near east should give America some concern. The near east has been the theater of practically - continuous- military operations since 114, to say noth ing of middle Europe and the far east," he asserted. "The develop ments which have taken place alnce tho Turkish victory over the Greeks Indicate sufficiently the danger which wo run of becoming entangled In queatlons surrounding that age-old center of racial, religious and politi cal strife. "When war is thrust upon us," the general stated, "our patriotism flames up and we are tremendously aroused. when the danger has passed, how ever, we gradually slide back Into the old easy-going ways, serenely confident' that the future will take care of Itself. We usually fall to attribute the costs of war to pre-war unpreparedness." Tha general Is making a brief tour under the American Defense society, and departs tonight for Chicago. Ha declared that one of the aims of the society was to build nip a citizens army to avoid a repetition of the "danger ous delay caused by Our un readiness In 1917." Cf the 125,000 men In the ai-my, 25.000 are stationed, he said, at Porto Rico, Panama, Hawaii and the Philip pines, leaving but 00,000 at home. Making a plea for military train ing. General Pershing declared there was no danger of America becoming militaristic, as some persons "whose Idealism overwhelms their common sense." fear. Military training should not only be put into affect for defense pur poses, but also for the upholding of the physical and moral manhood of America, the general emphasized. During the past 160 years the army has. been engaged In one Im portant military undertaking every II months. General Pershing said, and "no one can say that war In he future will be less frequent," He said (hat although the army was "our insurance", less than one-fifth the amount spent yearly for fire, ihoft and life , insurance, was being spent on the military establishment. "The question then squarely before us," he concluded, "Is whether we shall support an adequate policy of reasonable Investment or, by false and petty economy, yield our posi tion in the world war and, like China, become the football of fortune, sub ject to dictation from abroad and possible disruption from within."'

HILDEBRAND. Washington, Dec, 4. Some further inquiry was made today concerning the sltutation In the senate as It af fects the minority leadership. It ap pears that the support which Is being given Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, grows out of no feeling of hostility toward Senator Simmons. On the oontrary very cordial relations have at all times existed between these two senators and the chances are. If for any reason the name of Mr. Sim mons Is not presented to the Demo cratic caucus he will himself be found among the Robinson support ers. The question Is to a large ex tent a sectional one. Of late years the demand has been Insistent for for recognition of men from across the Mississippi, both In choosing leaders and in the matter of com mittee chairmanships. It was re marked today that It is a demand with which Senator Simmons has manifested sympathy as, for example, when he threw his support to Mr. Hitchcock for the leadership In the senate. . It Is nevertheless believed that 8enator Simmona will ultimately be chosen for the leadership If he will give his friends freedom of ac tion. Senator Pat Harrison sees iZ members for Robinson, as stated In this correspondence last night, .but some of his colleagues said they could not count more than half that number. Half of that number would not be of much use. Thirty sena tors sre confidently counted upon to support Simmons. Make Harding Live Hard A number 4f persons see In tho action Of LaFollette and Norrls in opposing the confirmation of the nomination of Pierce Sutler for the Supreme court Just another attempt to make President Harding five hard. Senator Overman, a member of the Judiciary : committee, tonight Pe,AhenJ4 tlon would not amount to much. . Senator Overman says the Dem oerats are not worrying much over the charge that Butler has at times represented some corporations. The belief obtains that some labor organ. Izatlons will be found as the Inspira tion for most of the opposition. Sen ator Overman looks for the unani mous confirmation, not only of Mr. Butler, who has the backing of the Democrats and the regular Republi cans, but he suspects that In the end the negro appointed as colleotor of the port at New Orleans will likewise receive the approval of the majority of tha senate. This view is not, how ever, universal. The Louisiana sen ators are "set" in their opposition to this appointment and there are those who think that out of deference to their attitude the administration will not Insist upon favorable action by the aenate. The administration has frequently found the Louisiana sen ators "amenable to reason," especial ly In tariff matters. Bareaa BMdly Managed. It is the general opinion on Capitol hill that the veterans' bureau Is the worst managed bureau in the govern ment. Decidedly more-than half of the time of many of the office forces of congressmen Is spent In trying to adjuat compensation of veterans, with this bureau. This central bureau has attached to It a number of distant bureaus. A disabled veteran is often sent to a hospital out of his district and then from hospital to hospital, and thus part of his papers will be In orie district bureau, part In another and part In the central bureau here. In many of these cases the central bureau has not the Information at hand to determine the status of veteran applying for. compensation or. If It has such Information, It does not know how to use It effectively. Consequently the offices of congress men are full of all sorts of complaints of veterans. These complaints have become so numerous and many of them so wearing on the nerves of both veterans and their congressmen, that Representative Claude Kitchln says there will be a move made in the next Congress to transfer the pen sion division of the veterans' bureau to the pension office In the Interior department. The veterans' bureau was estab llshed In the Wilson administration as separate from the old pension bureau but the latter bureau has not been a popular Institution with the Democrats but they have come to recognise the fact that while, the (Continued en Page Four) THE DAY Final session of the (7th Congress began at noon, 10 minutes after ad journment of the special session.

SIDES WITH THE TURKS Says Turkey Should Have Con trol of Dardanelles and the Straits. WANTS ECONOMIC PEACE Russia Proposes That Bosphorno and Dardanelles he Closed to All War ships Other Thnn Those of the TnrkUh GeverBment. Lausanne, Dec. 4. (By Associated Press.) The fundamental position of Russia on the question of the status to be given the Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmora and the Straits of Dardan elles wss outlined by Foreign Minis ter Tchltcherln, who read a prepared statement in French, of which the following official summary was given out tnis arternoon The Russian delegation will strive to attain two objects; first, equality MllfTincrW aJtW-tho Ukraine i and Georgia with - the positions and rights of the other powers; second. safeguarding of the peace and se curity of the Russlsn territories, and liberty of their economic relations with the other powers. M. Tchltcherln conceded that per manent liberty of commercial navl gatlon and paclfla martlme oommunl cations In the Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmora and the Dardanelles, must be assured In the most absolute manner and without restrictions Ho said: Malntenarce of peace on the Black sea and the security of Its roasts, peace in the near east and the se curity of Constantlnoble should be guaranteed 'in a durable msnner. This means that the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus, In time of peace as in time of war, ought to be con stantly closed to the warships and armed vessels, as well as the military airplanes, of all countries except Turkey, only In this way can liberty of peaceful navigation In these wa ters be effectually guarantaed." Straits Belong to Tnrks. M. Tchltcherln continued by savin that the Russian government started with the elementary fact that the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles be long to Turkey and that the Turkish people are entitled to full sover eignty over their territory and wa ters. M. Tchltcherln said Turkey could effectively defend her waters against attack by possessing the right to fortify and arm her coasts, by pos sessing a fleet of warships and by utilising for her defense eyery tech nical meana of modern warfare.. M. Tchltcherln then passed to what was Interpreted as an Illusion to England. He said: "Closing the straits to other war ships conforms to the principle cf equality between states. Throwing them open will give a preponderating position to the stronget maritime power." Russia and her allied republics, M. icnitcherfn argued, had no aggres sive, bellicose or militaristic designs against the liberty of other peoples therefore, they were in a peculiar position to watch over the Interests of the working masses and to con tribute to the world's economic de velopment. Their solution was the only possible solution of the s'luita problem.

No offense has been charged against the writer, wno is a weu- known Democratic lawyer, uisinci Attorney Irvln B. Tucker has not said yet what will be his course. Mr. Bramham hesitated to form an opinion, as he says, because he was confident that nobody woum sign letter of such brazlnness unless there was mental deficiency in the writer somewhere. But the state chairman has Investigated enough to convince him that It was the daring of a Democrat who thought In a multitude of Democrats there la sifety. The Dally News bureau is permit ted to print the letter on condition that the names of writer and persons addressed be withheld until the gov ernment agents decide what they will do. The letter Is written by a har rlster In a county adjoining Waks and to former Republicans living In the same county.

American countries ss to the desirability of dis cussing here the question1 of a polit ical union of all five nations cams to the surface today Immediately on the opening or the six-power confer ence on Central American affairs call ed by Invitation of President Hard ing. The subject wss not on the agenda as outlined In the American Invita tion, It was brought up' sharply, however, In the reply of Dr. Alberto Ucles, chief of the Hondyuran delega tion, In replying to Secretary Hughes' address of welcome. Under clause four of the invitation, Dr. Uoles said, any subject oould be presented, and he urged that the matter of a feder atlon of Central American states "should receive first consideration" by ins coniorenoe, ., : In opposition to this view, ' lenor Joss Andraal' Coran.do, "Costa Rioan foreign mlnlet.r, pointed oat that th central American governments In ao. eeptlng the Invitation to Washington hsd been "fully cognisant of the fact that the historic hour of their pollt Icsl union has not yet struck." For the Nlcaraguan group, however, Senor Emlllano Chamorra, minister from his government to Wsshlngton, In his ad dress to the conference, said the gath erlng further testified to "the reality or our aspiration for unity" and would tend to overcome obstacles and "some day" result In the hoisting of "the sacred banner of one undivided nation." Neither Secretary Hughes, spesklng both as presiding officer and as head of' the American delegation, nor Min ister Francisco Latour for Guatemala, nor Francisco Suares, head of the Salvadorean group, referred to the Central American union question In any way In their formal addresses at the opening session. Action of the conference must of necessity be unanimous In determining what points not specifically mentioned in the In vitation may be taken up undr clause four. If the opposition to dis cussion of the Central American union plan Indicated by the Costa Rlcan delegation today Is pressed, there fore, It Is to be assumed It will not be considered. It Is understood that the Guatelamlan also is opposed to such a discussion. Aside from the Injection of the union controversy, the opening session of the conference was devoted wholly to the exchange of friendly assurances, in which Sec retary Hughes led the way. He told the conferences in flat terms that the United States "had no ambition to gratify at your expense, no policy which runs counter to your national aspirations and no purpose save to promote the Interests of pesce and to assist you, in such manner as you may welcome, to solve your problems to your own proper advantage." Mr. Hughes' statement was con strued as sn assurance that In ac cepting the Invitation of 1 the five powers to Join their deliberations in a formal way, the Washington gov ernment was prompted, only by a de sire to do everything in Its power to bring the conference to a successful Issue. "The Interest of the United States he said, "Is found in the peace of this hemisphere and the conservation of your Interests." Addresses of ell the oilier delega tlon heads were characterised by pledges of co-operation and good will to the direct purposes of the con ference. ROBESON TO BUILD HOME AT JACKSON Building For Boy.

ENGLAND TO GIVE AID After Yean aid Tear, of TJphlll Straggle tho People of Erin Will Hnvo Opportnnlty to Govern Themselves. London, Deo. t 4. (By Associated ', Press.)-yThe centuries old struggle between England and Ireland ended.' tonight when the legislation giving me sanction or law to the new set tlement with Ireland passed Its final stages In the house of lords, which ror generations has bitterly opposed any accommodation with Ireland. The constitution bill haa run. through both houses of parliament ' without any amendment and even Without division h.lnv .hill.Mil 1-ord Carson alone, whose Influenoe waa mainly responsible for failure to settle the Irish question in 1014 and who has throughout his political i reer been the fcsttereat opponent of home rule, persisted to tho very end In his role of "last ditcher," even when such traditional antl-hom. rul- era as the Marquis of Lanadowne and the Duke of Devonshire had graceful-, ly yielded to tha government vlow and resolved to give Ireland a chano to prove her sincerity under, new eon. oltions. . : Devonshire frankly confessed that ' th short month In whloh he has been dealing with Irish affairs In th new government had entirely con verted him to th vi.w that Ireland would really "deliver the goods," and he reproached Lord Carson for his denunciatory speech, which could only lnflam passion and do harm. Th King Will Approve. , Thr now only remains ryal - sent, which Is a pur formality, and vrythlng will b ready for th new Irish government to com Into exist-, enc with .xqellent omens in th prssd desire ev.n of many of th' ! "die hards" statesmen In England to give It every opportunity to succeed j In Its work, not only unhampered, but aided by England. EVen th appointment of Timothy , Healy a governor-general of the Irish free state, which Is momentari ly expected to be announced official-ly,- Is on 'reflection recoanii.d a. an auspicious event. When Mr. Healy'a ' name was first mentioned It waa r eelved' with ' astonishmsnt and iimi Incredulity. When a governor-general - snip, is m question tha British mind turns- nstnrally In the direction ot some titled personage. Now It la ad mitted the appointment of Mr. Healy would be- singularly appropriate. In- the flrat place, Mr. Healy, throughout hie political career has -been, one of the strongest opponents of British connection and therefore' cannot b suspected of the slightest sympathy with. British vlewa antag onistic to Ireland. Secondly, his ap pointment would link the free state with all previous phsaes of th horn rule struggle, for, besides being on of the greatest lights of th Parnell movement, he ia connected with still earlier struggles, by reason of his re lationship to T. D. Sullivan, author of "Cod Sav Ireland." Moreover, Kevin O'Higglns. mint- ter of home affairs, who piloted th constitution through the dall elrann Is Mr. Healy'a nephew, and Mr. Healy's , -iceptlonal Intellectual and legal gifts undoubtedly have been at the disposal of tha new Irish minis ters and ara expected to prove In valuable to the new government In Its difficult Initial atages. Preparations for the formalities of Inaugurating the government and appointing an Irish senate were afoot In Dublin today, but It will probably be the end of the week be fore the aenate Is completely consti tuted. On the whole, the new government of the Irish Free State comes Into be ing under good auspices ao far a England Is concerned, the press and public with very few exceptions be ing entirely sympathetic.
