The conference between these peace
ENJOYS will be resumed aboard the

Favored by Committee.
The Senate committee on foreign rela-
tons today decided to report favorably
the Honduran financial treaty, and will
make a determined effort to secure the
approval of the Senate for the conven-
ton before the expiration of the present
Congress. The treaty, in brief, throws
the protection of the United States over
a contract made between the Honduran
government and the ]. P. Morgan In
terests for the refunding of the enormous
outstanding foreign debt of Honduras on
basis Of one to fifteen.
Provision is made for suitable collec-
ton agencies for the customs service
and for the allowance of money for the
| completion Of projected railroad schemes.
The treaty is broad enough to compre-
bend any subsequent arrangement OF the
same kind that the Honduran govern
ment might decide to make with Amer
lean syndicates.
This will be the opening wedge for a
series Of similar treaties between the
United States and countries OF Central
and South America, the purpose Of which
will be to rehabilitate the finances OF
those countries. and, while greatly re-
ducing the amount of money which they
ropean bondholders. will remove any pre-
text for interference by European gov
ernments In the affairs Of the American
republics.

r. H. $. FOOTBALL.

In a fast and interesting game of
football, Perrysburg High School
held the Colburns, of Toledo, to a
0 to game Saturday, on the local
grounds.
The teams were nearly evenly
matched which made each side strive
hard to win, but their efforts were
useless. 1t was thought for a NOM
ent that we had won 80 for in the
last quarter Perrysburg High nearly
made drop kick goal, but-the un-
expected happened and we lost.
The Colburns, with due respect to
the former teams. were perhaps the
most gentlemanly bunch of fellows
that have come to Perrysburg this
fall, and it would seem shame if
the p. II. S. manager does not book
this team for a later date when
Perrysburg High should win.
The boys are certainly living up
to their threat that they made on
their arrival from Bellevue, two
weeks ago, when they said that all
teams that crossed their path here
after would leave with the little end
of the game, for this was demonstrat-
ed in Saturdays game. While Per-
rysburg High School was unable to
score yet they did not lose, and on
this point we congratulate them. We
expect to see great things of this
team from now on.
Captain Eugene Anon was unable
to get into the game on account OF
game" leg, however he was able
to act as referee, in which capacity
he served very we'll. Once more we
take off our hats to Gene"
The patronage is going up, but not
fast enough, for the boys were unable
to clear expenses Saturday. The
management has decided to start g
football roll of honor and following
are the ones who attended the p. II
S.-ColbuTn game:
Miss Martha Maize, Edwin A
Clay, Alta Marshall, Marie Munger
Charles Maddy, Earl Harbauer
Madelyn Yeager, Otto Schwind
George Roose, Ola Marshall.
This list will be added to next
week if you come.
On Saturday, November 11th
Perrysburg High will line up with
| Toledo team. Everyone come Out
and see a good clean game, for Per-
rysburg is playing high-class foot
ball.
