BRITISH CHEER
 PLAN OF LEAGUE
Viscount Grey Tells Throng Nations Must Prevent
 Future Wars.

London Friday, June 13-A cam paign to popularize the League of Ma tions was launched tonight by the British League of Nations Union. AL bert Hall was packed with 1000 per- sons.
 Lord Robert Cecil in the course of a defense of the league, twice re- ferred to President Wilson and was applauded.
 The enthusiasm of the audience for the league was in evidence throughout the speech but several hecklers in the gallery unfurled red flag inscribed ''Warships are fighting a socialist re- public.'' When Lord Robert was naming the framers of the league covenant, a man shouted:
 What about Ireland?"
 Lord Robert retorted, Ireland was ably represented, if I may say so, by General Shuts and myself"
 The audience cheered the speakers arguments for admitting Germany to the league, but the applause was punctuated by cries of protest, one voice shouting:
 You bloody traitor" The audience shouted, Put him out," and cheered when the man was elected.
 Viscount Grey made an eloquent appeal for the British people, in con- junction with the peoples of other na- tions, to give life and reality to the league, now that the governments had completed their parts in it.
 Tt is a choice between life and death to the world" he said. Any future war will be vastly more terri b1e than the last, owing to inventions and the progress of science. Hence there is need that we work for an ideal, namely, world peace.
 "If the league is to be a reality, Germany and Russia must be inc1ud- ed, because if these powerful nations are excluded they will be driven into intrigues against the league. More over, the league must be a league of nations; not of governments"

Special to The Times.)

NSDeC1al 10 Ine l1IneS.D Newtown June 14.---At Town Hall Friday evening the Junior-Senior re- ception attended by parents and friends of the two classes passed off In a way to do credit to all concerned. The old town hall was so beautifully and artistically decorated as to be scarcely recognizable. The profusion of June fowore, the green background and the arrangement of American flags and national co1ors was most pleasing. The dainty shades of even ing dresses of the students set off the effect and the efforts of committees to give the class of 1919 a real parting re- ception were certainly realized as every one was well pleased and grate- full.
 The class day exercises the feature of the evening, proved most entertain ing. Class Histories were given by Paul Smith in an amusing way and with enough detail to prove the young gentleman enjoyed his experience as well as did the other members of his class.
 Class Prophecies were read by Miss Justine Houlihan and gave no end of pleasure to her hearers and the mys- terious glimpse into the future as usual was a pastime to amuse every one.
 Robert Beers gave Class Grounds and ma7 a clever departure from the ordinary by preparing his in rhyme His hits were appropriate and well received.
 Miss Margaret White recited the class poem clearly and swee1y with the touch of realization of parting that made her effort one of the most acceptable of the evening.
 Miss Dorothy Meeker wrote the class song which was rendered by the entire class and was really well ex- ecuted.
 The Junior-Senior reception has also passed into the history of N. H. s. but will always be remembered as a great success. On the receiving committee were Supervisor and Mrs. Leo T. Hickson, Vice Principal Miss Helen Houhhan, Miss Doris Downs, MT. San ford Beers. Miss Lillian Troy of the faculty. Misses Marguerite Bradley and Jennie Sturgess of the Junior class.
 Final examinations are on for Mon day and Tuesday and commencement exercises will be June 23, at Town Hall.
 William Latham with his several teams and force 0. helpers have gone to New Hartford for the summer to work on a wood contract made by. MT. Latham with a construction com pany.
 Miss Rosina Leavy of Bridgeport is spending a week at her parents home on Walnut Tree Hill.
 Mrs. Paul Leavy was a visitor in the Park City on Thursday.
 The Suffrage drive is drawing to a close and has been very satisfactory. A few earnest workers are making every effort to cover the town and raise the quota $400. Any one who is not reached will be gratefully thanked if they send their subscription to League President Mrs. Lydia B. Glover.

WILSON AGAINST
 PRINTING TEXT
Felt It Would Open Import ant Discussions in U. $.

Paris, May 21-The Echo de Paris today declares that it was on the re- quest of President Wilson that the heads of the Allied and Associated Powers have declined/t to permit pub Hcation of the full text of the peace treaty presented to the Germans. President Wilson, the newspaper adds 'foresaw inconvenience and risk in opening an important discussion in the United States during his stay abroad.
 Dispatches from American cor respondents in Paris have stated tha it was understood the chief objection to making the treaty public came from Premier Lloyd George, although President Wilson later had approved the British premier's view.
 It was stated, however, that while MT. Lloyd George was absent from Paris the week before last the re- maining government heads tentatively agreed to the publication of the finan- cial and territorial sections of the treaty, owing to the demand of the French chamber of deputies. When Mir Lloyd George returned he de- clined to give his approval to the plan, however, and it was abandoned.
 In the British House of Commons on May 19 Andrew Bonar Law, the gov ernment leader, stated that the coun ell of four, for reasons which could not be disclosed considered the publi- cation in full of the peace undesira-

MISS SL0CUM GOT B.H.S. AUDITORIUM But It Took the Board of Education to Bring the
 Thing About.

Rumor has 1t that there was a snappy session of the Board of Ed ucation last week at which the other members Of the board convinced the president, Elmer H. Havens, that it was not possible to deprive a. woman of the calibre of Miss Benita, V- Slo- cum, of the proper use of the school hall.
 Recently Miss Slocum applied to the Board of Education for permission to use the auditorium of the High school for the closing recital of her classes in Dance Drama Signed to the appli- cation was the name of Albert E. Lavery.
 On rectipt of the application Presi- dent Ravens at once got in touch with Howard Challenger, one of the board, representing to him that he was op- posed to entertainments being given in the High school hall for which ad mission was charged. Challenger agreed with him heartily, whereupon it is said Havns got into communica- ton with Miss Slocum advising her that the board was unable to grant her the desired permission.

Peek. chairman of the recently dissolved industrial board of the department of com merce.
 Had MT. Hines taken as his basis for deductions. the price of $50 a ton for rails before that period said Mir. Peck, instead of the profits of the steel companies during the war pe- riod of fixed prices and stimulated production. he must have arrived at the conclusion that the price of SAT a ton was fully Justified. To the pre- war price of $30 Mir. Peck contend ed now must be added s20 to cover increased labW cost and a further amount for increased cost of trans portation.

JOHNSON WANTS
 TEXT OF TREATY
Issues of Peace Treaty Fight Again Before
 Senate.

Washington May 26-Issues of the peace treaty fight came before the Senate again today with the prospect that the debate which began Friday might occupy the entire days session.
 The immediate subject of the dis cussion was a resolution by Senator Johnson, Republican, of California. asking the State Department for the complete text of the peace treaty. From the start of the debate Friday, however, the arguments on both sides branched out to embrace many re- lated subjects, including the merits of the treaty and the covenant of the league of nations. Opponents of the league generally lined up in favor of the resolution.
 Senator Johnson's resolution came before the Senate automatically hay ing been made the unfinished business when the Senate adjourned Friday. Senator Read, Democrat, of Missouri, an opponent of the league in it's pres ent form, and Senator Robinson. Dem ocrat, of Arkansas. league supporter, had given previous notice of their in- tention to speak and were prepared 10 take the floor as soon as the Senate convened.
