PARIS, Dec. 2S.-In turning over
informally the new Lafayette wire
less station to the French govern
ment a few days ago, the American
government has proposed that the
station receive and send official mes
sages, both French and American,
gratuitously for an indefinite time.
These would include, first, messages
from the departments of the Ameri-
can government, particularly war,
navy, state and commerce, to their
representatives and bureaus in
France; second. official messages
from the American COVER ,,ant to
the French government; third, des-
patches to the United States govern
ment wireless stations from it's rep
resentatives in France.
In return the United States prom
ises that the Annapolis station will
perform the same service for the
French government, free of charge.
This large amount of business is now
being handled by the private cable
and commercial wireless companies.
This suggested innovation, which

French government although it be-
lieves it would carry by far the
larger load, and although it had
planned to leave the station entirely
free during peacetime to handle only
commercial business. The wireless
stations of the French government
are used by the Ministry of Posts
and Telegraphs during peace-time
and by the Ministry of War during
the time of war.
The Lafayette station, which is 20
miles from Bordeaux, is now actually
being operated by the French Minis
try of Posts, and sent to North and
South America most of the press re-
ports of the meeting of the League of
Nations Assembly at Geneva.
The station was started during the
war by the American navy depart
ment and nit the armistice the French
government arranged with the navy
to finish it, agreeing to pay the en-
tire cost Of construction. 1t can reach
any point on the globe.

SP AN|SH KING
MAKES DECIDED
HIT IN ENGLAND
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Dec. 2s.-King Alfonso
of Spain and his Queen, formerly
Princess Ena of Battenberg, England,
were the objects of much attention
and popular favor during their two
weeks stay in London, just ended
Alfonso's beaming smile became as
famous as his big blue car, and his
consort's magnificent gowns an d
furs were the envy of crowds of
women who daily besieged the hotel
on Piccadilly where the royal couple
stayed.
Their second son, Prince Jaime, is
remaining in England for time to
continue a treatment for his ear
trouble which is understood to be we'll
on the way to a permanent cure.
Besides being very largely enter
tanned by their cousins in England,
the Spanish royalties attended a great
many private society functions, which
both appeared to enjoy. Alfonso took
care to take a few private dancing
lessons to keep up with the latest
steps.
Their purchases made here are

two automobiles and the Queen four
hunters, besides great quantity of
toys and miscellaneous articles for
the royal nursery in Madrid.
The Spanish king is very anxious
to bring the English polo teams that
will meet American next summer to
Madrid for practice this winter. 1t
may be recalled that Lord Wimborne's s
team spent some time in Spain before
going to America in 1914 for the
Cup matches.
He is also intent upon developing
many beautiful spots on the Spanish
coast as pleasure resorts. 81 don't
see why the Riviera should not be
outrivalled," he is reported to have
said.
One of the incidents told here of
the royal couple is that the Queen
recently asked her husband if he
thought the fashionable evening
gowns designed for youthful silhou-
cites were in. keeping with her age
and her dignity as mother of six
children.
II think" said Alfonso, "that the
matter is worthy of reflection" A
few days later large case was de-
livered, addressed to the Queen. 1t
contained half dozen gowns straight
from Paris, all cut in the manner
that had aroused her hesitation.

REVENGE SOUGHT
BY LOCALS WITH
BRAWLEY STARS

The Ell Centre baseball team will
be in action two days in succession
Saturday and Sunday, when they meet
Brawley at Brawley on New Years
day and Calexico the following day
at the border city. The return game
with Brawley will give the local team
a chance to reinstate themselves in
the lead with a full game to the
good.
Manager Otto Reber, of the Ell Gen.
tro squad, has called a meeting of the
team for this evening at his office in
the Ell Centro National Bank building,
for the purpose of getting the opin-
ion of the entire team over the result
of the Brawley-El Centro game here
last Sunday. 1t has been rumored
that Chief Reber intends to take the
case of Pitcher Best, of the Brawley
team before the next meeting Of the
club managers, on grounds that ne Is
illegally playing with the northern
team, thus violating the bylaws OF
the organization. The difficulty has
arisen from the fact that Best IS
signed with Boston Reds next season.
"The bylaws state," said Reber,
"that no man under contract with a
professional team will be allowed to
play in the valley league. Best has
shown us his contract. However, in
regard to protesting last Sundays
game, am willing to let the result
stand as it is on condition that Gipe
withdraws Best from his lineup and
abides by the rules that he himself
belpod tn frame"
"a number of Brawley residents
have come to Ell Centro within the
past week with their pockets filled
with greenbacks, wanting to bet on
the result of next Saturdays game" !"
said Reber. "My answer has been,
Withdraw Best from your team and
we'll cover it ALL My team is the
best in the league, but we are not
playing professional ballplayers," was
Reber's final words with them.
"If had wanted to play profession
al baseball l could have signed up
Cook, of Sacramento; Bilman, OF
Wichita, Kansas; Rigo, Los Angeles;
Cooper, of Vernon; Marley of the
naval service and others, all good
ball players"

Cachin, socialist deputy, who with M.
Frossard, was secretary to the party
which returned from Russia a few
months ago completely converted to

raid of John Brown, the American
abolitionist on Harper's Ferry, Va.
in 1859. Some great revolutions have
been brought about that way, ne
said. 'When John Brown gave i'm.
petuos to the movement against slav,
cry he did the same thing we want tc
do in France to Capitalism and to
Bourgeosm," he declared.

SCARCITY OF FISH
Since LAST WEEK
So Many Caught On Two Fishing
Trips That Fishermen Can Now
Hardly Get A Bite.

According to the statement of a
gentleman who seems to be pretty
well informed on the subject there Is
a great scarcity of fish in both the
Little and Big Choptank Rivers this
week, this shortage being due to two
fishing trips that were taken last
week. A gentleman, who was rails
ed in Cambridge but now resides in
Baltimore, came down to spend a
few days with his brothers bringing
friend with him. The first days
fishing netted large basket filled
to the very top, the small ones be-
ing at the ottom and the larger ones
spread out so as to cover them; the
smaller ones were really caught with
bait, hook and line but our informant
says that silver" bait was used, at
least she believes so, to catch the
larger ones. This trip was on We'd
nesday.
The second trip was on Friday
the older brother being left. home
and another brother who happens to
be a prominent county official went
along; the brother left at home was
sore" all day, either had not re-
covered from the first trip or wanted
to go on the second. The second
days fishing was also very success
full but Bob" there now we have
given his name away but there are
so many Bobs that no one will know
which one we mean, was so stiff the
next morning that he could not get
I'D until almost dinner time.
