GERMANY AND THE PEACE PLAN

temporary consideration.
GERMANY AND THE PEACE PLAN.
At the present time the drawing up
of an arbitration treaty between the
United States and Great Britain is in
the hands of Secretary Knox and Am
bassador Bryce. Those who are be-
| mind the project expect soon to sub
nit it to the Senate for ratification.
That the proposal will meet with the
full. 1t is unquestionably true that
there is a sentiment in favor of un-
limited arbitration, but there is also
a very marked sentiment unfavorable
to compact OF this kind with Great
Britain in particular
While England is very anxious to
enter into peace pact with the Unit
ed States and to secure limitation of
national armament, it is significant to
note that Germany is not enthusiastic
over the idea Of disarmament. About
a month ago Chancellor Won Beth
MANN Hollweg declared the attitude of
that country toward the proposition
when he said:
IF any nation feels that it is UNI
able longer to spend certain sums for
defensive purposes it will inevitably
drop to the second rank. There will
always be a stronger one ready to
exposed situation cannot shut our
eyes to this dire reality, only so far
as we can maintain peace. The ma
tons, including Germany, have beer
talking disarmament since the first
Hague conference, but neither in Ger
many nor elsewhere, has practical
plan been proposed. Great Britain
wishes the limitation of ornaments,
but simultaneously wants superior
Or equal fleet. Any conference on this
subject is bound to be fruitless. No
standard for a limitation would be
found and any conceivable proposal
would be shattered ON the question of
CONTROL
Germany, however, is in favor of
publicity in the plans of the various
nations for the extension of their ar
mament. The result will perhaps be
that the nations will be better and
more accurately informed on the state
Of the various ~navies and the sudden
alarms that are frequently sounded
when one ration has to spy on another
to find out WHAT is doing in the way
OF increasing it's equipment, will not
be heard SO often in the future. But
will the competition in navy building
be increased or diminished thereby :?
! 1t is hard to see how it. can be les
sened. 1t is true one power will not
|,build blindly in it's attempt to outdis-
lance the others, but the desire of
keeping the lead will remain.
u Germanys conservatveness regard
ing arbitration and disarmament ac-
counts no doubt in some degree for
Great Brtain's over anxiety to estab.
the United States. Such an agreement
would mean more than a mere elm
nation of the dangers of trouble with
the United States.

Here and There.

Score at least two on Lindley Murray
Staples, veteran of five legislatures. In
his haste to get the hated Sturgis law of
the statute books, he rushed in and
jammed through the senate so-called
bill to repeal the aforesaid law. The
bill had no enacting clause in it. His
attention being called to it, he amended
the bill by inserting an enacting clause,
and it was then referred to the com
mittee on temperance, as 1t should have
been in the first place. The amended
bill contains section providing that il
shall take effect when approved. That
clause won't do the bill any particular
harm, but neither will it do it any good,
for the bill can't take effect until ninety
days after the adjournment of the legis
lature.

A sentence of two years in jail was
given Richmond II. Ingersoil, for forty
years treasurer of the York County
Savings Bank, in court at Saco Friday,
on the charge of embezzlement. The
shortage in the bank amounted to nearly
$3.50, 900, but the large part of it was due
to losses by bad investments years ago,
which were concealed, together with the
compromising of interest on the irregu-
larities for many years. In his own be-
half Ingersoll stated that the amount
which he. had taken himself Gid not ex-
coed $4,000, but the statements of those
who have made the examination indicate
that his actual defalcation is something
like $4,000. Ingersoll is 70 years of age,
and much broken.

ton and New York before the first of
January this season. The rates are still
too high. Extended consideration was
ing further work in this direction,
through the medium of the national de-
partment of agriculture.
There was quite discussion of the
state apple packing law, which seems To
have certain defects, and a committee
consisting of Henry Merrill and F. II.
