fRUSSELS, Sept. "a (By Tho Asso-

ents, as we'll as neutrals, as prereq-
ulslte to the preservation Of the world
from economic and financial ruin was
the keynote of the address of Gustave
Ador, as presiding officer, at the open
cial Conference to-day. The same sent-
ments were voiced by Premier Della
croix, Of Belgium, in his speech of
welcome to the delegates who have
gathered, at the call of the League of
Nations, to take under consideration
plars for ameliorating the financial ills

danger Of coal miners strike next
Monday passed to-day. In response to
an appeal to the leaders of the miners
federation by Premier Lloyd George
the miners delegates voted to postpone
for one week the delivery of the strike
notices. During this week the miners
will negotiate with the colliery owners
for a wage scale based on output, in
place of the demand made by the min
ers for q fat increase Of two shillings
a day.
This postponement marked e general
improvement in the industrial out
look, as it removed the paralyzing fear
of possible general strike. The gen.
eral optimism over the expected settle
ment was reflected in the stock market,
which closed higher on receipt of
news that the miners had decided to
continue the negotiations.
The scheme on which the new wage
scale would depend was outlined by
Lloyd George in q letter to Robert
OClllIle, PRESIDENT OF tne MINERS red
Grafton. The plan would take as the
basis of output figure somewhat be-
low the maximum production for the
first quarter of past years, and would
provide for increases of one, two or
three shillings a day, depending upon
how much the output exceeded the base
rate. The miners will meet the coal
mine owners on Monday in an effort to
arrange details of the proposal.
The Triple Alliance, which, besides
the miners, includes the railway men
and transport workers, has adjourned
it's consideration of general strike in
sympathy with the miners until next
Thursday.

PARIS, Sept. 24.-Georges Leagues
sixty-three years old, to-day was
chosen Prime Minister of France by
the new President, Alexandra Mile.
rand.
The Premiership had been offered to
four other leading political figure
before it was accepted by Lcygues
Minister Of the Interior Steeg, NJ
L'Hopteau. Minister of Justice: Challes
Dumont, financial expert, and Charles
Jonnart, one-time Presidential candi-
date, all refused to be Millerands first
Premier
But despite these refusals that all
came within forty minutes, President
Mllerand had succeeded in filling the
post in fifty-tive minutes, a record
time. 1t is expected that the Cabi-
continue under NJ. Leygues.
When Leygues agreed to assume the
duties of Premier, it was the first time
in history that premier of France
took office with mis- Cabinet ready
made. Usually the President allows
the Premier to choose his own min
isters, but in this case Millerand had
the men he wanted for ministers all
picked out in advance. In trying to
ind head for the Cabinet, Millerand
met with the first rebuff in his efforts
20 change French constitutional prac-
tice.
Ministry May Not Last
Although the Leagues Ministry is not
expected to last more than few weeks
or months, in political circles TO at
tack on the new Cabinet is anticipated
at present.
Rumors reach France that Great
Britain is on the point of breaking with
her. According to these rumors, Grea
Britain intends to found quadruple
alliance with Italy, Germany and Rus
STA, to counteract the French policy,
which, it feared, may win American
sympathy.
The relations between France and
Great Britain are SO strained that few
French leaders are anxious to stake
their reputation on the events of the
desires to mark time until after the
elections in the United States. Whether
France can continue her present Euro
pean policy in the face of British op-
position depends largely on America
With American support France is pre-
pared to go straight ahead, but without
it she must tack. She is anxiously
awaiting an indication of the attitude
of the next President of the United
States.

queathed s3oO0,0OO by NJ. Chauchard,

COMMUNITY SPIRIT IN WINSLOW

A review of community develop
ment is always of interest to the peo-
pei of the community. This is parti-
,cularly true if community is pro-
gressive and its people are Boosters
Community Builders-loyal men
and women who have the welfare of
their Community constantly in mind
That Community. because of its
staunch, whole-hearted support, ad-
vances, achieves high standards and
accomplishes works of Community
Building that gives birth to righteous
pride among its people.
Despite the many monuments to
Community Progress that daily glad
den the hearts of the loyal citizens
in Winslow and brighten the eyes of
strangers in our midst. review of
our development for the past few
months discloses number of serious
faults.
OF these. the most glaring weak
ness Of our Community support and
the one most vital to Community Pro-
gress is the fact that over 100000
Dollars were sent away last year to
the big mail order houses of Chicago
and New York. That huge amount.
from which large percentage should
have been turned into Community
Building at home, was completely
lost to the Community.
Buying away from home is becom-
ing serious problem. 1t threatens
the very life of Community in which
it is PERMITTED to reach such preten-
tious bounds. The Home Loving
Citizens and Home Merchants of Win
slow feel compelled to take action
against custom running rampant
among our good citizens, We be-
lieve the Home Town activities de-
serve first consideration from the
Home Town people,
For that reason The WinsIow Mail,
supported by loyal, Home Boosting
Merchants, has launched Trade al
Home Campaign. The campaign will
be educational, we believe to people
trading away from home 1t will be
featured by Buy at Home talks and
letters, and will cover a period of ten
consecutive weeks,
