Big Event Will Probably Come
 Early in September
BUILDING REPORTED AS SOLD
But Transfer of Newton Hall Is Not Confrmed-Woman Complain of Being Insulted on Street-Other News Items of Interest.

The Plainville fire department, headed by Fire Chief Edward P. Prior and special committee ap- pointed foi the purpose, is arranging plans for the field day that will prob ably be held in the early part of Septem Der. It has been ten years since the last field day and athletic meet held by the local firemen and the coming one is looked forward to with great enthusiasm. The event at that time was a great success.
 The committee is working steadily in an effort to make the coming one the biggest event the town ever had and to outclass the one previous. A street parade will be held in which parts of the state will compete. Ath- letic events will be held and special events for women will also take place. With the addition of the avia- ltion field recently constructed by Hugh Rockwell on Woodford's ave- nue, hopes are held out for arrang- ing an aviation meet with aerial performances. A dinner will be served, probably at Usher's grove.
 Unofficial Report.
 A persistent rumor to the effect that Newton Hall on Whiting street has been sold. has been circulated around the town, but no official re- port of the sale has been made as yet. The place is owned by a party in Bristol and has been closed a greater part of the time since it's condemnation by the town as a place unfit for public meeting places. How ever, parties from Waterbury have been looking over the building with intentions of altering it for a danc- la1 of ant but nothing definite has been done so far, concerning purchasing it.

PLAN FOR WORLD
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE TELLS
OF ORIGINAL INTERNATION-
AL PEACE STRUCTURE.

Turning away from the Versailles
league of nations as failure and a
wreck "beyond the possibility of re-
construction" Senator Harding broke
ground last Saturday at his Ohio
home for new international peace
structure he hopes to erect about the
principle of world court of justice
AS foundation timbers he proposed
to use the better features of the pres
ent Hague tribunal and of the cove
nant of the "failed league" and he
promised that from the day of his
election he would give to the task his
best effort in counsel with the ableS-
statesmen of the wcrld. Detailed
specifications he said he could not
yet supply in the changing atmoS-
phere of the world conditions and
opinions.

He quoted a declaration Of Premier
Lloyd George that " it was impossible
to send an international army to Po-
land because the European nations
could not furnish the troops and the
United States mad withdrawn from
coperation."
That meant, in plain words, said
the nominee, that the United States
had not completed the obligation Ito
furnish troops"
To support his assertion that this
country could not nave resisted call
for help in Poland under Article 20
Senator Harding quoted the statement
of Preside lat the moral
obligation of the article was stronger
than any legal obligation. The non1-
inee added that if the president really
wanted to help protect foiand ne
easily might call on Congress to de-
clare war.

however" Senator Harding continued
"that the president will not pursue
that course. Fortunately, he is under
no compelling moral obligation uE-
der the league to do so. His recent
unhappy experience, moreover, in ask
ing congress to send American boys
to police Armenia would hardly en-
courage repetition
Turning to his discussion OF recon
struction measures the nominee said
he had no expectation whatever that
nothing but separate treaty would
be required to put the nation on a
peace basis. Passage of resolution
declaring peace, he asserted, was ali

His greatest ambition and. the corner
stone of his program, he said, was To
regain for America the moral leader
ship it had "lost when ambition
sought to superimpose a reactionary
theory of discredited autocracy upon
the progressive principle of living
glowing democracy"
To Mexico and the other western
republics he declared himself ready
to extend helping hand. but he pro-
nounced a solemn admonition to the
world that all the resources e the
United States would guarantee pro-
lection to American life and proper
ty everywhere. Processing also his
desire to aid the stncken peoples OF
the old world, the candidate recountec
bow this sentiment had led him to
vote with grave misgivings" for rat
ification of the league covenant With
reservations. He affirmed that he
would do so now unuer similar clr-
cumstances but added that conditions
lad changed and that the Polish crisis
had shown the league so important
that its agencies were not even called
into use.

obligations of Article Ten, he asserted
