DOYLE-DEHART.
"They are just going over to
see the Hagerstown FAIR" is
what the friends of Joseph b.
Doyle and Miss Lillian M. De-
Hart SAID Tuesday morning when
those two young people started
across the mountain. But you
can never tell what youngsters
have up their sleeves. They
were looking forward to the cul-
mination of an event in Hagers-
town that to them eclipsed any
display of pumpkins or currant
jelly at county fair. Yes, they
were; and they were not dlsap-
pointed, neither" Instead of
applying for admission to the
Fair Grounds, they sought admis'
sion into the parsonage of Rev.
Eugene Thomas, of the Reformed
church, and just "got married, so
they did," Like sensible young
people, they came right home,
and next morning both went to
work bright and early realizing
that industry and economy are
the golden keys that unlock the
storehouse of this worlds goods

OFFICIALS SAY TREATIES
ARE GROWING IN FAVOR
Feeling of Public May Have
Much to Do With Congress
Approving Them.

Although the State Department has no,
abandoned hope that the pending general
arbitration treaties may be approved by
the Senate before the adjournment of the
present session of Congress, the officials
are contemplating with equanamity the
possibility of its failure to do so. This
attitude is explained by the fact that,
having scored a point in getting the
treaties published, the officials feel con-
fident that they are certain to grow In
favor as they are analyzed by the editors
and magazine writer's and discussed at
public conventions in the period Of time
that will intervene between the present
and the next session of Congress-
Another factor that is expected to make
strongly in favor of the ratification of
the treaties is the approaching meeting
of the International waterways commits
sion, the creation of which is said to
have practically bazed the way for the
negotiation of the arbitration treaties.
Originally planned to settle some long
standing issues between the United States
and Canada regarding the water bounda-
ries between the two countries, the func-
tions of that commission were greatly
extended by Secretary Root as to con-
stitute II, in fact, a permanent arbitration
board, with almost unlimited powers to
adjust disputes between the two coun-
ries.
Commission Meets September 1.
The commission will meet about Sep
tember 1 in this city, and it is expected
that it will have progressed so far in its
work by the data of assembly of the
next session of Congress as to afford a
convincing demonstration of the practica-
bility of the peaceful and satisfactory
adjustment of international disputes by
the commission plan.
The commission would meet before the
