ROADS BETWEEN
BELGRADE A N D
WATERVILLE BAD

The Waterville Chamber of Com
merce ought to get busy and do some
thing about fixing up the roads be-
tween this city and Belgrade Lakes"
said a prominent summer visitor to
that place to a friend in the city Mon
day. 1T is costing the merchants of
Waterville many hundreds Of dollars
every summer and will continue to
cost them more if the roads are not
put in shape" continued the man.
why. it is awful the kinds of roads
we have to ride over practically all the
way from the village to the city. While
do not know the steps that could be
taken to get the towns Of Oakland anG
Belgrade to put their sections of the
roads in shape it does seem as though
there ought to be some way of the
Waterville merchants to do it and then
pressure should be brought to bear to
make the Waterville people put their
part Of the road in the best possible
shape so that it would be good all the
way To do this would mean a large
increase in the trade from that sec
ton. The summer visitors to Belgrade
Lakes like the stores Of Watervile and
they like to come here to trade but
you can just bet that the merchants
Of Waterville have got to do some
thing to make the conditions of get
ting here better or they are not going
to come" ended the man. When the
matter Of linking Waterville with Bel
grade Lakes last winter was talked up
it was thought by many that some
thing would be done in that line but
the project seemed to die a natural
death and there has been nothing
heard of it for sometime.

Prudential
Agents and
Collectors
on a Strike

New York, July 24.-Agents and COL
.lectors employed by the Prudential In
isurance Co. were called out on strike
today by union recently organized
,among them and known as the Inter
national Insurance Agents Protective
Association with membership Of $780,
Although claims Of the company and
the union were conflicting, it appeared
tonight that at least 500 men in this
district have responded to the strike
call thus far.
The men demand better pay, recogni-
ton Of the union and more reasona-
ble' working hours. kilograms from
branches of the union in different cities
east Of Chicago, leaders here declared,
indicate that unless the demands Of the
men are met with the 5000 will follow
the lead Of those already out. About
$4,000 agents and collectors are en-
ployed by the company throughout the
country. The strike followed the conf
pany's dismissal Of 30 to 40 employees
who had formed the protective associa-
ton and the refusal of the company
today to receive its representatives.

BRITISH NOTE ON

Washington, July 24.-Great Britain's
partial reply tc the American note

as unsatisfactory principally because it

the communication that Great Britain

which the United States regards as I'M
warranted and without authority in

MEXICAN LAWS
TO GOVERN ALL
FOREIGN TRADE

New York, July 24.-Radical changes
in the laws governing foreigners doing
business in Mexico are about to be
made by General Carranza in a series
Of DEGREES which later will be included
in a new constitution, according to re-
cent arrivals from Mexico City.
The new regulations, it is said, will
provide that all foreign investors bee
fore entering business in Mexico must
agree not to have recourse in any case
to any other law than that of Mex
leo and that they will not be entitled
to any privileges not enjoyed by Mexi
cans. 1t also will provide that foreign
capital already invested in Mexico may
enjoy the right to be considered for
eign and be entitled to the protection
of it's own government until the expi-
ration OF the concession or agreement
that it may have entered into. provided
it is not for very long period.
Another provision is designed to fix
a uniform period for all the long or
unlimited contracts. leases or conces-
sions in which foreign capital is in
terested and at the end Of this period
they will be considered subject only
to the authority of the Mexican gov
eminent and deprived of the right of
appeal for protection to their respec-
tive governments.
1t is the belief Of the FIRST Chief that
the measures will suffice to avoid the
danger Of complications with Euro
pean powers. and natural sequel, will
lift from the United States the re-
sponsibility Of defending the terrific
rial integrity Of Mexico against the
possibility of seizure Of lands or prop
erties by any foreign nation in order
to pay the claims of their nationals.
