UNITED STATES PACT,
INTERNAL MEASURES
DISCUSSED IN BERLIN
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN. Sept 27.-Important leg
islation awaited action by the reich
stag when it reconveneo today this
session of the German parliament be-
ing considered as the most important
held since the treaty of Versailles was
signed.
Ratification of the peace treaty with
the United States, tax measures and
laws calculated to bring order out OF
chaos prevailing in Germany's finances
were on the calendar. and there
threatened to be partisan aceroitles
as a result of the assassination early
this month of Matthias ErZberger, Tor
mer vice-chancellor.'
Interest centered today in the pro-
posed reconstruction of the German
cabinet and it was expected there
coualition would be extended by the
uualition would be extended by the
inclusion of representatives. of the
German peoples party.
There seemed to be some probability
that this could not be brought about
without partisan bitterness in view OF
the hostility to Chancellor Wirth which
has been manifested by an influential
group of the German peoples party
The attitude of Gustav StreSemann
was one of the most interesting Tea
lures of the situation today.
Assert Allegiance
The majority socialists continued tt
ssert their allegiance to the chancel
! lor, despite his announced readiness
to cooperate in a government II
| which the German peoples party was
represented. Party leaders conferred
with Chancellor Wirth yesterday with

! reconstruction of the cabinet or dl
/ vision of the portfolios between tht
four participating parties.
! Herr Stressman continued as an as
pirant to the post of foreign ministel
and the German peoples party wa.
backing him in his campaign.
The date for ra tifying the American
peace treaty had not been fixed to
day. The government desires to hav'
/ the issue disposed of without EXTENDED
parliamentary debate, but it was de
clared today it was not desirous o
anticipating the vote on the treat,

PALLADIUM NEWS B.-REAU

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-1ndiana
members of congress continue to re-
ceive a food of letters from constitu-
ents who stress the importance they
attach to the forthcoming disarm-
ament conference, which is to begin
its sessions in Washington, Nov. IL.
Undoubtedly, the American people are
keenly interested in the outcome of
the parley, and this very fact is caus-
ing concern to many of the higher
officials of the government. They do
not wish that the impression should
get abroad that upon this conference
hangs the fate of the world and that
failure to achieve all of the expecta-
tions of the public will spell disaster
to the United States.
The administration is confident of
this much, that good will result from
the conference, but it is not anticipat-
ing a general revolution of mankind
or the ways of the world. The United
States will receive its fair share of
whatever benefits result, and if these
benefits do not measure up to expecta-
tions officials of the administration
know that the government at Wash
ington will still live.
Satisfied With PersoneI.
President Harding, it is said, feels
very well satisfied over the personnel
of the American delegation to the dis
armament conference. H believes the

Japan wishes no war with the Unit

Mr. Binford states that Japan is

EXPENSES CLASSIFIED

Smithfield, the proposed site for a
Wayne county tuberculosis hospital,
was operated by the county from July.
1917, to Sept. 1, 1921, at net gain
of $2,613.54, instead of at a total main
tenance cost of s35,445.06, over and
above the receipts for the period, as
appeared in the report submitted TO
the county council Tuesday, Sept. G,
1921.

which lead to the belief that the main
tenance cost was $35,445.O6, over and

Figures compiled by c. NJ. Haworth,
an expert accountant employed by The
Palladium, however, show that con-
! servatively estimated, the net gain
during the period of county operation
is S2,613.54. The complete report,

period named into operating expenses

| All of the statements contained in
the report are in accordance with the
receipts and disbursements as taken
from the books of the county auditor
i AS the county classifies all expendi-
lures under two heads, namely,

latter of which includes new build
ings, the report issued several weeks
ago itemized such disbursements as
were necessary for harness, imple-
ment, tools, fencing and labor as
} maintenance costs. The heads under
which all expenditures were classified
did not permit the separation of main.

were straight investments ~--s7
In this manner the published figures
which were $S4,922.0S charged to main.

GEO. WILTON BALLARD AND
sieYL sANDERsoN FAoAN
sibyi sanderson Faoan, siffIeuse, and
George Wilton Ballard, Tenor, to
Make Appearance In Delta.

What is a siffleuse, you ask, first
French name for girl whistler. And
so you are disappointed because any
body can whistle.
Few people, however. in the world
can whistle like Sibyl Sanderson
Pagan. 1t took a tremendous amount
of hard work however, to become the
accomplished artist Miss Pagan now
is. Blistered lips and finger tips were
the price she had to pay, and there
practice before she could achieve the
end she sought. In fact she is still
working and striving to increase the
artistry and finish of her work. She
doesn't consider that she has "ar-
rived" at all-even though she has
become famous in the eyes of the
musical and artistic world.
Miss Fagan's mother has aided and
abetted her in all her artistic efforts.
She has always been ambitious for her
daughter to be a great musical star.
In fact, Sibyl Sanderson Pagan was
named for Sibyl Sanderson, the opera
singer. We doubt II Miss Fagan's
mother ever expected her daughter to
develop talent for whistling. but as
soon as 1t became apparent. she has
left no stone unturned to help her
daughter to make a really fine artist
of herself.
George Wilton Ballard, one of the
most popular American tenors. ad-
mits that II there is one thing in the
world he would rather do than any
thing else, 1t is to go fishing.
Every artist has hobby. says Mr..
Ballard Anna Case, who has won
derful summer home on Long Island,
inclines towards flowers; Marie Rap
pold, the great soprano. loves "the
cows and chickens" and devotes a
part OF each summer to the simple
life on the farm. Mario laurent, of
grand opera fame, considers himself
wonderful cook, and also likes to
tell you about his ability as a car
penter
But Mr.. Billiards. own simple pas
sion is for fishing-bass fishing.
There is one thing that appeals most
of all to me-" he admits. "and that is
the woods on a pleasant day. a nice
creek. an old rod. pole and can Of
bait" Shades Of Isaac Walton! II
have often thought / would rather
catch a nice bass than do anything
else in the world" he goes on. "Two
or three hours TO browse around hsh.
ing is good enough for me-"
Mr.. Ballard insists. by way OF
camouflaging his interests in fishing,
that It is an excellent way OF promot-
ing health Many small boy playing
truant from school to go fishing has
felt the same way.
George Wilton Ballard was born in
Syracuse and began his musical career
as a soloist in church choirs. Since
he has been in concert work Mr. Bal.
lard specializes' on love sogns "ferv-
emily favored with romance" he puts

themselves lucky to have this delight
