 At the conference MT. Lloyd George offered every guarantee that the truce would not be used as means of enforcing the military position of the Poles. The British premier went so far as to agree to have bolshevik officers behind the Polish lines to see that the terms of the truce were rigidly enforced The premier answered all the Russians objections to the plan, and Kameneff sent the plaa to Moscow by wireless with a recommen- dation that it be adopted. GRAVE AS 1914
 In British and French circles tonight
 it is admitted that the situation created by the bolshevik refusal of a truce has brought about a crisis only second in gravity to that which confronted the al- lies in 1914.
 The rejection by the bolsheyk Of the British proposal for an immediate ten day truce with Poland reached MT. Lloyd George and Premier Milerand this morning while they were in conference at the home of Sir Philip Sassoon, at Lympe, near here It came as a severe blow to Mir. Lloyd Georges peace ef- forts.

JAPANESE HEAVY BUYERS

Out of 275 100000 pounds of copper
sold last year for export, Japan took
almost 40 per cent. This would seem
to indicate that Japan intended to
take from Germany the rich brass
trade of the Orient and the small
brassware trade of South America. In
spite of Japan's large metal importa-
ton last year her copper production
was not materially decreased.
France, Belgium, Spain and Italy
combined bought 27 per cent of the
copper sold for export in 1919, France
being the largest purchaser in this
group. England bought IA per cent,
probably considerable of it for re-ex-
port to Germany, especially during the
last six weeks Of the year. Germany,
Holland, Sweden and Denmark took
IA per cent, most of this probably be-
ing ultimately for Germany. Canada
and the rest of the world bought about
per cent.
Heretofore Japan never bought
more than 214 per cent of our copper.
In 1910, also in 1913, she purchased
less than 02 per cent of our produc-
tion. This year decreased production
and the unusually small proportion ex-
ported-15 per cent compared with IS
per cent in normal times-gives an
unduly great prominence to japanese
laying. However, during the first
nine months of 1919 Japan imported
roughly, 30,400,000 pounds of copper
compared to 11,8OO,O 900 during the sim.
liar period of 1917, when she was
sending large amounts of munitions
to the eastern front.
Since mining has become demoral
lied in Mexico, Japan has been second
largest producer of copper, but a bad
second. In 1913 her output was 72,
OOOtons, compared with SAT 1000 for the
United States This domestic produc
ton, however, was sufficient to NEE
her requirements until, through wal
work, she learned quantity outpu
methods.
With the money she made during
the war, Japan is undermining he1

PRIZE WINNING ESSAYS IN
SAFETY FIRST CONTEST ARE
SELECTED FROM PUPILS EFFORTS

The three prize winning essays in
the Safety First essay contest inaug-
urated among the school children of
Ray were written by Jessie Wilkins,
Roger P. Griswold and Hartwell Cab
bert, Of the 7th, 8th and 9Th grades,
respectively.
Judges decided this week the prize
winning essays on the subject of safe
ty first as follows:
Safety First
This is 'No-Acc1dent Week" and
Ray wants to see what few accidents
it can have.
We school children are going to
help and when we see a person doing
that which might hurt themselves or
somebody else, give them your advice,
and they will, most likely, see their
fault and mend it before it's too late.
Children can help and save many
people from serious accidents, and
how good you'd feel if you saved a
little boy or girl or even a grown-up
person a EToken bone or even his
life!
We all want to be Safety Scouts
and our motto is: "Think Safety
First, Talk Safety First, and Practice
Safety First"
To be a scout you must save some
body from an accident.
When you do this you get a Safety
button, and when you look at it, it
will say, "What can you do to save
some person from an accident?" or
"Did you save someone from an acci-
dent today?" But how badly you
would feel if, when you looked at it,
it would say, "You caused someone an
accident today"
They have many new safety inven-
tions on dangerous things, and even
though some people know they are
dangerous without them, they are
careless enough to leave them off, and
thus accidents that cause many things
and even death is sometimes the re
suit
All of you children tell your par
ents and explain to them the meaning
of "No-Accident Week." and tell them
all you know about it..
Try to impress on their minds the
value of this, SO your father, if he
happens to work in a dangerous place
will be careful not only for his own
sake but his family's sake.
Many times, with only a little trou
BILE to yourself, you can save some
one life of only trouble caused by
an accident.
If everyone would try to do this
there would he few accidents.
If all the little girls and boys il
all the world would be careful, wha
nice world it would be!
If were to ask every little boy ant
girl to be careful and explain to then
the need of this, do you think the!
would answer mo? I think the!
would answer "Yes"!
So, when you go home tonight, VIII!
not say this poem to mother:
If all the children in the world
Would do a kind, kind deed,
How very few doctors
We would ever need.
There would be no broken legs to set
And doctors and nurses
Wouldn't be hard to get.
(For they have purses).
And so very few accidents there'd b.
They'd be right on the job,
Just you wait and see.
If they would only try it,
I'm sure that they could
And 'no-accident week" would he fo
good!
Don't you think so, mother?

to this safety first business what al
world this would be.
Some people think that the safety
first is all rot, but look back and
think of all the terrible accidents It'll
has saved us from. For instance, our
great war with Germany shows us if
it was not for safety first half of our
soldiers would be dead or disabledI
for life. During the civil war, when
there was no safety first, many Of the
men died for want of care on the bat
tlefield. Now, if there had been al
safety first this would not have hap
pened.
Safety first is for everyone, not for
one certain man alone; it is for the
manager, the superintendent or the
foreman; it is for everybody.

or the like and told the miners to take
it down, but the miners did not, the
manager would go to some other part
of the mines, and the rock would fall

the manager would come to some pipe
sticking up, he would tell the miner
to take the pipe up, but the miner
was used to that pipe and knew his
surroundings we'll and avoided the
pipe, but some new hand might come
into the mine and not know the ropes,
would stumble over that pipe and hurt
himself seriously. When new man
comes, always show him the ropes,
help him along. Don't knock the
safety devices but boost them along.
When the boss or manager is lee
turing, you should always pay heed,
for some day you might repent it if
you did not
If all the people, in one strong body,
would get together and push this safe
ty first business along, what a good
world this would be, everyone would
be happy.
1t was safety first week not long
ago. Let's try and make them all
safety first weeks.
When you are passing such signs
as "Stop! Look! Listen!" always
take heed. Never play about the rail
road track because you might not see
the train coming and get run over.
You should never hop the train, be
cause it is very dangerous Never
hop any sort of vehicle; never play
about the street; never coast in the
street. When you see a board with
some nails sticking up, turn the board
over When you are crossing the
street, look first to the left and then
to the right.

nix baseball players were up in Ray

been prevented. Maybe the driver

were not fixed good.
Another accident was that two
Spaniards were going to Kelvin; may
be they didn't want to spend any
money, so they decided to hop the
ore drag. The first one made it, but
the other one was little slow ant
he got killed That accident could
