Legion, voted at meeting held last
night to assess the members to secure
funds for the maintenance of the new
club rooms on State street. The
assessments win be levied at the end
of the first or second quarter of the

amount viii be very reasonable. Pre-
vious to this the members voted to ac-
cept the rooms on the terms recon-
mended by the committee to secure
the rooms. The rooms win probably
be opened the first of the year. Dis
cussion of dropping members in ar.
rears on their dues for year or more

arrears more time in which to pay
their back dues.

FIRE THREAT
In WELLS RIVER
Ellery Davis ! 'lmber Shed

De ! ,yed
NEARBY s JILDINGs
WE'RE 8 lDANGERED
Water H s ant Too Near
Building for Immediate
Usefulness

Wells River, Dec %. In a fire which
started about 5:l5 Tuesday afternoon,
the lumber shed of E1lery Davis was
totally destroyed with an approximate
loss Of $4,000. Just how the fire start
ed has rot been determined; yet in an
incredibly short period of time the
building was mass of flames and all
chances of saving 1t were lost. To add
to the confusion, the water hydrant
w@s situated so near to the burning
building THAT it was next to impossible
to turn the water on for several min
utes, due also to the slight freezing Of
the valves. When the water did come
the power was minus quantity, the
two streams of water barely throwing
across the street. Buildings across the
street, including the garage of John
Bone, lhe house Of Mr.. Bntson and the
Henderson block, were not damaged
They we're completely covered with
water all during the fire, which, no
doubt, was all that saved them.
5 The building was built during the
latter part of the past summer at
cost OF 1J.uO ana was HIieu Win HI
assortment Of dried lumber, of hard
wood flooring, sheathing, matched
lumber, shingles, etc., which would
easily bring the total loss to about
s6,000 In the building when the fire
started were two trucks, one a Stuart
tso-ton affair and the other REQ
speed wagon. So rapidly did the fire
spread that the REQ car was total
loss, but the Stuart was saved by he
roic work on the part Of the several
men present.
Mr.. Davis Va in Massachusetts, and
ii is impossible to state whether the
contents are covered by insurance. al
though IL IL understood the building
is 50 covered Two electric poles were
burned, which put that section Of the
village without lights and telephone
service.
In fairness to all concerned it should
be stated that the reservoir was full
Of water and that the low pressure was
not due to the present pumping sys-
tenn nor to the lack of water as was
thought by those present. After the
fire had burned itself out, there was
still found to be sufficient water to
cover any other small fires and all do
nestle needs.

GERMANY SEEKS
Her COLONIES.
Proposal That What She
Lost in War Be Re-
stored to Her
OR GIVEN MANDATE
OVER COLONIES
Revision Of Versailles
Treaty Is Boldly
Suggested

Hamburg, Dec. 2s lBy the Associated
Press) The efforts Of Germany dur
ing 1927 to fulfill her peace obligations
have failed, and it is idle to think that
any political or economic efforts viii
now succeed unless these conditions
are modified, declares the annual re-
port Of the Hamburg chamber OF com
meree, issued to-day.
"Those who still believe the London
ultimatum can be carried out" says
the report, "either are without judg-
ment or do not desire fulfillment but
the destruction Of Germany, which in
time would react on France, England
and America"
The report asserts a way out OF the
dilemma could be found by very
simple means, as follows: Revision Of
the treaty Of Versailles and OF the
London agreements to a. reasonable
basis, making it possible for Germany
to secure foreign credits; conference
Of issuing banks Of interested nations
for the regulation of German exchange
and the res fitution Of the German colo
nies, or at least German mandate
over these colonies.
The report expresses slight faith in
the speedy return of world economic
normality and criticizes the American
policy toward shipping in general and
toward German shipping in particu-
lar.
AThe outlook for American merchant
shipping is unfavorable," continues the
report. "Only 400 OF the | .46t shipping
board steamers are being employed.
German ships in American ports are
still in an extraordinary position de-
spite the resumption of friendly rela-
tions, which could be justified only If
American ships in German, ports were
compelled to pay considerable fees
Trade with Mexico, says the report,
is going on under conditions as diff
cult as those prevailing in pre-war
days.
German exports TO Brazil have not
reached their pre-war volume. CONNER
cial relations with Chile are improv-
ing and the competition there of Eng
land, Japan and the United States is
declining, according to the report.
German shipping, il says, has suf-
fered heavily for want a coal and be-
cause of discrimination in foreign
ports, particularly in the United
States as result of the alien tonnage
tax. The report says that Germans
have taken up active trade with their
own ships, seven firms being particu-
larly alert.

Belfast, Dec. 2s tBy the Associated
Press) A convention Of Sim Fein
clubs Of North Donegal, held at Bun
crana, has adopted resolution by
unanimous vote expressing satisfaction
with the Irish peace treaty as embody-
ing the essential Of Ireland's freedom
and safeguarding Ireland's honor. Re-
ports submitted before the vote showed
that each district in the constituency
favored ratification of the pact.
The resolution called on the six Dali
Eierann members representing the dis
trict not only to vote for the treaty
but to use their influence to bring
about ratification. Failure to do this,
the resolution stated, would be regard
ed as betrayal of the best interests of
the country and gross contempt for the
opinions OF their constituents.
Donegal, although the most northern
Irish county, is under the southern
parliament, being one OF the three
counties excluded from Ulster under
the government of Ireland bill of 1920.
