DISPUTE
Long Deadl 0ck Wi B. Br ken
by TIL. Hague Tribunal
AN AMERICAN PROPOSAL

1t Is Accepted by British Government
Trouble Over Newfoundland
Reluctance to Renew In Prec
Terms Modus vlvendi ofLast Seas o
London, Aug. 21.-The American
government, which has taken the lead
at The Hague peace conference in en-
deavorng to promote arbitration, will
be responsible for giving The Hague
tribunal the most important case yet
submitted to it. in the Newfoundland
fisheries dispute, which undoubtedly
will be taken there as a result of the
negotiations conducted In London be-
tween the foreign office and the Amer
lean ambassador, Whitelaw Reid.
Both the foreign office and the en-
bassy maintain diplomatic reserve, but
1t has been learned from unqueston-
able sources that the long correspond
ence between the two governments
made it seem clear that their conten-
tons could not be harmonized and had
reached an impasse.
Finally Reid presented proposal to
submit the dispute to the arbitration
Of The Hague tribunal, having the au-
thority of President Roosevelt and Sec
rotary Root to do SO. After a week or
two Of consideration the British govern
ment accepted the proposal and then
the American government proposed
that for another year, while the matter
was in process of arbitration, the fish
cries should be conducted as they were
last year, under the same modus vi
vend.
There has been delay in concluding
the arrangement. While the British
government has secured the assent OF
Robert Bond, the Newfoundland pre-.
mier, to the agreement, Bond will un.
doubtedly be reluctant to accept tho
modus vivendt, which he opposed
strongly last season. However. there
is little doubt that the agreement will
be enforced and that the fisheries, dur.
ing the new season beginning next
week, will be conducted on the same
methods as the last.

Dear Sir: What will it cost to SOW ten
acres half wheat and half daisy mixed
and what'll the crop be worth,
We don't know what daisy-seed costs,
nor how bulky it is; we suspect half
wheat and half daisy would make big
crop of daisies, and last long time; the
wheat might be short.
The parable throws some light on the
cost of paint half whitewash. White
wash, mixed half-and-half with paint,
is all-paint in look and feel; indeed nine
tenth of the paint" in the stores is part
whitewash some half, some more, some
less.
Paint has to be spread with the brush,
the surface prepared, the ladders scat
folds pulleys and ropes arranged and
moved, there's great deal of labor in
putting paint on; it costs So to 81 a gal
Ion TO do it.
What does it cost to paint whitewash ?
Just the same. Half-whitewash Just
the same. 1t dosen't seem. worth while,
for the whitewash does harm, not good.
Will the paint hold the whitewash
fast or the whitewash loosen the
paint
Better paint pure paint the. least
