 My appetite was so poor could scarcely eat a thing. My stomach would be so badly bloated with gas sometimes I was almost afraid to go l to bed for fear 1 would actually i smother.

 The midway this year is the largest in years and like all midways has ev- erything that could be desired in the way of novel attractions. A large part of the midway Is devoted to side shows which include all the novelties, freaks and other forms of entertainment that are found under canvas One of the feature attractions on the ground was the athletic tent in which Al Lund- strom, Norwich wrestler, challenged all heavyweight corners Working with Lundstrom is Mike James who has ap- peared in Norwich many times.
 The vaudeville attractions for the free performance opposite the grandstand, are of a very high type of outdoor attractions. The feature of this pro- gramme is the bounding net and tra- peze artists. Other numbers on this program are equally as good in their l line. The vaudeville was postponed. As Wednesday was entry day the 1 livestock was meagre but 1t is expected i that with the fair holding over until l Saturday there will be many added en- i tries Owing to the rain there vas nc 1 admission charged at the gate but the

DUTCH GOVERNMENT.
PLANS LARGER NAVY
Bill in Deputies Provides for
Many New Vessels and
Sea Bases.

THE HAGUE. Nov. 3 ASSOCIATED
Presa) The Netherlands Government
has introduced in the Chamber OF
Deputies proposals for new naVal
programme involving an outlay OF
about 200, 900, 900 fiorins (about s6s,-
000.000). according to the present
value of the florin) to be spread over
twelve years.
The main idea of the programme.
which embraces the establishment or
new naval bases in the Dutch East
Indies, is to supplement the existing
fleet with a number of submarines.
torpedo boats. aircraft and mines,
which would be available for the de-
fense of Holland herself or the Dutch
East Indies.
The proposed developments In the
Dutch East Indies include naval base
at Tanjong Prick, six miles northeast
of Batavia, auxiliary bases at Soerabaya,
Java and in the Riu Archipelago, while
a battery of medium calibre guns would
be installed at Macasear, the chief town
in the Celebes group.
The proposed increase in the fleet in
the next six years consists of two cruis-
ers, ten submarines twelve destroyers.
two submersible mine layers and six
mine layers. 1t is also proposed to build
168 additional airplanes and prepare
1000 mines.

New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. O., Nov. 3.
Those having the greatest trouble
in Washington these days are hotel
clerks. drivers of army trucks that
haul baggage of foreign delegates from
Union Station, the squadron of cav
airy that has headquarters at Fort
Myer, Va, and the man who presses
Secretary Hughes's official reception
clothes.
Pity them. They are in the thick
of the preliminaries of the conference
for the limitation of ornaments. Their
job is TO get things established for the
sessions which will begin in q week.
From morning till night they are on
the jump.
Washingtons leading hotels. accus-
toned more or less to foreigners, have
just about thrown up their hands trying
to get things Strengthened out for those
who have arrived to participate in the
confere noes. Nobody, is able to under
stand anybody else: the foreigners do
not understand the American money; 1t
is yet too early for hotel clerks to dis
tirguish the delegates themselves from
their Wallets.
All Of the hotels during the war
housed allied commissions, diplomatic.
military and naval. and 50 Washington
is fairly we'll acquainted with foreign
uniforms. but in most instances at that
time the members OF the delegations
were chosen for their ability to under
stand the English language and to make
contracts in the American way Not so
in this instance. The delegates and their
staffs have been selected with view
purely to national service. In other
words familiarity with things American
has been a secondary consideration.

UNFORTIFIED BORDER
OF u. S. CITED AS LESSON
Sir Robert Borden Points
Moral for Arms Farley.

The border between the United States
and Canada, unfortified for more than
a hundred years. was cited last nigh.
as an illustration of the possibilities Of
limitation of armament by Sir Robert
Borden, Canadian delegate TO the Wash
ington arma manlent conference, at a meet
ing of directors of the Sulgrave lrstitu-
tion at the homo of r. Fulton Cutting,
"A East SiXty-seventh street.
There are no two nations in the
world under separate system of gov
ernment so closely united socially. COM
mereially and politically as the United
States and Canada" he said. 1T Is
almost commonplace 10 speak of the
disarmament agreement of 1917. but it is
timely TO recall the fulfilnent of the
promise 1t bore. The treaty that estab-
lished the International joint commits
sion ten years ago was almost as nota-
BILE in It's character and far reaching in
it's results.
cat the conference at Washington we
can point to no prouder events than
those In our common history. They
carry a moral lesson the statesmen
there assembled may well bear in mind
and take to heart.
