We are SCENE IN A BANK OF ENGLAND WHEN "BANK CANARY" ANNOUNCES CHANGE IN RATE OF DISCOUNT - There is Scramble for Offices, Telegraph, Telephone Booths and Cable Offices. PAY THE BILL THERE is general complaint about taxes and the economy lernand has been directed against the naval appropriation bill. All realize that the navy is expensive and it is now pretty well understood that of the several billions expended an nually by the federal government more than 90 per cent each year goes to pay for wars of the past or to prepare for wars of the future. Yet when the league covenant was up for approval by this country it was repudiated by the senate and repudiated by the people. This was done regardless of the fact the covenant has a comprehensive plan for abolishing wars and for reducing ar maments. The covenant was rejected despite the fact more than 40 civilizezd countries had signed up and taken the pledge of peace in good faith. Uncle Sam scoffed at the greatest plan ever presented for curbing wars and reducing federal expenses. Having done that what alternative has he except to continue on in the old way? Deriding the League of Nations as unacceptable and of fering no substitute what can he do but go on building dread naughts? Having rejected the idea of a world fire department what can we do other than make our own place as nearly fire proof as possible. Some think the Borah idea of a confeiVnce with England and Japan will solve the problem. But the Borah idea is the most visionary thing yet suggested. If we confer with England and Japan, England will cooperate provided Britain remains a navy that will be able to overpower our own. Japan has public ly announced that the Japanese idea is for a Jap navy that will he able to cope with anything in the Pacific and that means the American navy. Where does that leave the United States? When the United States turned its back on the League of Nations it turned its back on armament reductions. There is no other answer and the facta should be accepted. It was the LOXDOX. May 24. (A. P.) An nouncement of a ehanse in the rate of discount of the Bank of England, such as the recent reduction from seven to six and one-half percent, is an impres sive affair.

POLISH NATIONAL KEEPSAKES HIDDEN IN SWITZERLAND ARE TO BE RETURNED TO POLAND LI Among Many Relics of Olden Times Which Will be Return ed is Polish Kings' Sceptre. WARSAW, May 24 (A. P.) The Polish government is arranging to re turn to Warsaw about 1 30.00 )l national keepsakes removed to Switzerland In 1772 to prevent their falling into enemy hands. When the partition of Poland be tween Prussia, Russia and Austria be came imminent, patriotic Poles began to transfor collections of nationul rel irs to Ilepperavellc, Switzerland, j - where they have been preserved for nearly 1.111 years. Individuals who managed to gel articles of particular historical inter est out of tho country made valuable additions to the collection from time to time leng after the Russian were In cnntrM of what Is known as Congress Poland. Among the relics of olden times Is a sceptre of one of the Polish kings. The keepsakes are to be added to the na tional museum in Warsaw which has been established now that Poland re- rained her freedom. 28 YEARS AGO' I. V. liailey returned today from Portland. ! J. K.

"But there never seem to be any plan's III the Held whure they are digging." "No, they let the plants die down before the potatoes are dug. Potatoes have to get ripe as well as any otnei Kind of vegetable, although In some countries people eat them while they are still unripe; but po'atoes that are not ripe arc not good for people any more than green apples are."
