April 80 1917, by which Great Britain
and the United States agreed not to
build any warships on the lakes
William Alden Smith of Grand Rap
ids, Mich. has been an arden advocate
of the modification of this agreement
but no action looking to L change has
been taken by the state department,
though it is admitted that the agree
ment is Anticipated and should be so
altered as to permit the construction of
small vessels. Canada has always been
opposed to any change. and at one time
raised Il protest against the construc-
tion % revenue cutters on the lakes ~
American ship builders.
The agreement was entered into
shortly after the war of 1872, and was
signed by Richard Rush. then acting
secretary of state. 1t has grown so OBJ
solete, however, that the state depart
,lent has not considered it of sufficient
Importance To include it in their latest
edition of Treaties. in Force" In fact,
there is a provision in the document it
self which permits the ;innulment Of
the agreement by either party upon
six months notice to the other.
The United States does not want to
have it annulled, however, because
that would give Great Britain unlmit-
ed authority TO construct war vessels,
which would. of course. be a military
menace to this country. For the same
reason Great Britain does not desire its
abrogation. and up to the present there
has been no heSirancy on the part OF
this country to ask for its modifica-
ton. The lake interests are becoming
so clamOrous. however. for its altera-
ton in such IL way as to permit the lake
ship builders to get part OF the work
or building government vessels, that
the officials do not see that they can
much longer delay taking the matter
up with the British government.
The agreement says that the vessels
of each country ION Lake Ontario shall
be limited to one vessel, not exceeding
100 tons burthen. and armed with 49,
FOUNDER cannon. On the upper lakes
each country is limited to two vessels
not exceeding like burthen, and armed
with like force" On the waters of Lake
Champlain the limit is placed at one
vessel of similar burthen and arma-
ment.
Naval authorities of this country say
that the annullment of the agreement
would be no particular disadvantage to
the United States. as Great Britain
would not undertake the construction
of any large force of vessels on the
lakes. They also say that Canada
should not be alarmed over the United
States desire to build ships there. as it
would not mean the retention of the
vessels or the lakes.

TERRY DROWNED
 WHILE BATHING.

Pine Aluff, July II. Bruce Terry, young white man about nineteen years of age, was drowned Sunday afternoon while swimming in the Arkansas river just below the Cotton Belt shops. He was with several companions, and while out in the river some distance it is thought he had cramps. He sank from sight before help could reach him, as the current at this time is very swift and strong. The body has not been recovered, but several parties went in search for it this morning.
 The body is described as being that of a young man with a swarthy complexion. A plain gold ring with an Odd Fellow inscription on it was on the left hand and three front teeth were filled with gold. He was stripped while in the river.
