DAWES TO TALK
En Route East with General
Dawes, Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 21
Definite conclusion to conduct a
campaign of "brass tacks" not
bombast" was reiterated by Char
les G. Dawes as he traveled east
ward on first campaign trip aB
the republican candidate for vice-
president. Such an intention was
announccd by the nominee In his
acceptance address Tuesday night
at his home in Evanston, 111., and
was emphasized by him today in
discussing the speech ho would
make Saturday in Augusta, Maine.
Mr. Dawes feels voters want a dis
cussion of issues conducted with
definiteness nnd force, rather than
any exposition of generalities.
"The American voting public
in my opinion wants straight from
the shoulder shooting from their
candidates for national offices,
and I intend to give It to them,'
was the way he summed up his in
tention. Believing that extemporaneous
address lends itself more to such
treatment of the Issues than does
prepared speech-making. He does
not intend to write out his
sneeches in advance. In fact be
fore leaving Evanston yesterday
he threw in the wastebaskeC the
address ho had prepared for de
livery at Lincoln Neb., August 29,
on the agricultural question and
will speak extemporaneonsly. He
prepared his August address in

tion. Governor Wood based his veto
ot the previous measure on the

the passage ot tho bill today on

Warning of a Gcrman-Rupsinn-Chlnesc,

was expressed today by Major
General James G. Harbord, form

Institute on international rela

can armament and international
cooperation for limitation of com

He declared that Russia and
Germany would not remain con
tent to be excluded from the Far

ner ot doing tho thing wo had a
right to do may have lost us tho
warm friendship of Japan."
Enemv Alliance
"What would a Gcrmnn-Rus-
slnn-Chincse-Japanese combina

ho asked. "What could withstand
a union of white, yellow nnd
brown, gathered from tho HJiIno

impossible or even unlikoly in
such an alliance?"
"With all the Latin-American
states In tho longuo of nations,

"Theso nro some of tho things
that should bo considered by

"American nrmaments have

Inadequate they have encouraged
stronger powers to presume upon
our supposed weakness.
"Hut when It conies to tho
world, exclusive of tho Amorlcitn
continent it must be admitted
that n competitive growth of
armaments breeds a feeling of in
ternational insecurity.
Criticises Disarmament
General Harbord endorsed tho
plan for reduction of armaments
drawn-up by Professor J. T. Shot
well of Columbia nnd General
Tusker H. Bliss, which has been
distributed to various countries
by the league of nntlons.
'It creates no super-state and
surrenders no sovereignty," he
said.
General Harbord criticized
those church leaders who urKe
Christians not to take part In
any war, saying that this doetrln"
seeltlng to align the churcli
against national derenso by war
logically leads to the formation
of a clerical party. Ho added.
