woul%mm and inevitable,”
the Houd i aaval committee was told
today by @Gen. Tasker H. Bliss for
mer American representative on th l

*“The Nation that would ccme t.(,;
such a cenference and refuse to agre |
to any proposition looking te disarm

its military establishment, could be
written down as the next Germanv
and the United States could make
her plans accordingly,” said Bliss. '
He preceded Secretary Daniels
who appeared again to give the com
nittee detailed information regard
ing the relative naval strength of
the great powers. i
The former chief cof stafi of the
army said his association with high
military revresentatives of the oth

all the great nations of the world
are ready tc talk disarmament seri
ously. .
“Our present form of civilization
cannot stand the great strain of mili
tary preparation much longer,” Bliss
declared. “The world war was a
terrific strala on civilization and the
next war will be very much worse.
Fear is the basis of war prepara

ed there is any real basis for the fear
that causes these great military na
val programs.
“It would not be necessary to
have all the nations of the world rep

OFF TO TORONTO
WHERE ROTARY CLUB PLANS
BIG RECEPTION.
Toronto, Jan. 12.—The Acro Club
of Canada here today announced °t
had called of the official banquet to
the three American naval balloonists
in view of the incident at Mattice
vesterday when Lieut, Farrell knock
ed Lieut. Hinton .down because of 1
letter Hinton had written home.

Mattice, Jan, 12.—Naval Lieuten
ants Farrell. Kloor and Hinton, re
freshed by the first night'y sleep in
complete comfort since setting out
from the frozen Hudson Bay region
today enjoyed this trading post's hos
pitality, preparatory to their depart
ure late today for Toronto.
To all appearances the bitter dis
pute between Farrell and Hinton
late yesterday, which culminated in 2
blow from Farrell which sent Hin
ton sprawling, has been settled. The
trouble arose over a letter purported
to have been written by Hinton to
his wife saying Farrell had pleaded
with his companions to kill him and
eat his body to enable them to return
to civilization.
Farrell charged ais companion with
“double crossing” him. He says all
agreed that their letters should not
be published. Hinton's refusal to re
tract was the immediate cause of
Farrell’'s blow, when the newspaper
correspondents interferred and sepa
rated them.
The fallow adventurers today ap
parently tried to forget “their differ
ences and began to think of the re
ception planned by the Toronto Ro
tary club, and their ultimate arrival
at Rockaway on Friday.
