 ''The three countries are unani l nous for maintenance of loyal and i'm partial neutrality during the present war. The blows aimed at the righta and interests of neutrals by belIiger ent powers, as well as the difficultiesl ! in the sphere of commercial policyz which hay ensued therefrom for neul trals, formed the subject of a searchI ing investigation which resulted iri 'an accord for bringing about widel collaboration among the three coun1 tries.
 Special attention was devoted to CIl0 ueSITuCIlOu O1 neutral SlilpS d1u cargoes, as well as the consequences entailed by the issue of blacklists by the belligerents. It was agreed, with a view to facilitating the commercial policy of the three countries, that they keep each other mutually informed a9 to measures to be taken in the re- spective countries in regard to both commercial policy and the repression of commercial espionage, to safeguard their interests in the sphere of conn mercia1 policy after the war
 The parties also came to 8 com p1ete accord based on the conventions be adopted by the Scandinavian coun- tries relative to certain question: touching the duty of neutrals and the making of arrangements for safe- guarding their neutrality. It was agreed, in view of present circum- stances that the three countries, hy themselves or in common with other neutrals, cannot take the initiative in mediation between the belligcrents or take measures in any way analogous to such mediation. Furthermore, Il was agreed that 1t would be desirable to establish closer collaboration among .he greatest possible number of neu- fral states for the purpose of safe guarding their common interests while observing the strictest fmpartiality'
 The ministers of the three countries separated with the understanding that further conferences would be held as often as desirable.

Local Pastor Nominated at Con-
 VentiOn Of Pr0hibitioniSts
PLAN MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN
HohenthaI Pleads With Voters to Make Town ''Dry''-Hartford Man Sent to JaiI-Belden-Douga Wed. d1ng-Many New Voters-Briefs

Rev. J. William Denton, pastor If the Advent Christian church here, was nominated as the prohibition canli- oate Tor senator from the fifth dis trlct' at the convention of delegates rom the various towns held in the court room last evening. Heretofore the prOhib1tionists have made their senatorial nominations at the state convention, but this year a change in policy went into effect and the candi- date was picked at a special session.
 Practically all the towns in the dis trict were represented at the conven- ton, and MT. Denton was named without opposition. Emil l.. G. Ho- henthal of Manchester presided at the gathering.
 The senatorial nominee is an ardent worker for prohibition and IS taking a prominent part in the efforts to make Plainville a ''dry" town. He will take the stump in the interests of his party, making his first address Monday night at @ meeting of the prohibition com n1ittee in New Britain.
 The vote of the prohibitionists in this district is but small and the par tvs candidate for senator admittedly has no chance of elecion. MT. Den- ten, however, will probably get a good plimentary vote in P1ainville as he is generally popular with the towns people irrespective of their religious Or political beliefs.
 Talks Against Saloons.
 Prior to the opening of the senator ial convention an open-air tem perance rally was held on Central Square. The speaker was Emil L. G. Hoh enthal, chairman of the state prohibition committee. MT. Hohenthal gave his address from an automobile and was given a respectful hearing by num- Der who gathered at the square.
 MT. Hohenthal gave up his time to a discussion of the topic, "Does the Saloon Pay?" and he gave many forceful arguments in favor of no-li- cense.
 His talk was the first of series of lectures on prohibition which the no- license advocates have planned for the campaign.
