Want Atlantic Treaty.

flN The intel ffcAl
Paris, Dec. 2S.-The only basis on
Wiicn France could consent TO the
reduction OF her submarine demands
as presented TO the Conference on
Limitation OF Armaments In Wash.
ington. would be an agreement to
preserve peace In the Atlantic by
an arrangement similar to the -Four
Power Pacific Treaty.
This information came 10 the Unit
cd Press to-day from authoritative
sources and II Is believed TO voice
the official attitude Of the French
government in regard to the subma.
rine issue.
Frances determination to have a
powerful fleet and objections to the
Limitation efforts of the Washington
conference were vigorously voiced
In the senate Tuesday, during a dis
cussion Of the marine section Of the
governments budget.
Senator Henry Berenger, who re.
ported the marine budget said
France was at a decisive turning
point. as France still Independent
in her navy and army?" he asked.
HAS the old principle of sovereign
ty been sacrificed somewhat in those
4, L.,
promlsd a sort of internationale of
happiness?'
Senator De Kerguezec defended
the submarine as an essential wea-
pom of defense, but wished it to be
confined to military uses.
"At the Washington conference"
he said, I'VE were surprised to see
the French delegation demand $780,
600 tons of capital ships when France
does not desire to carry war into
foreign waters. France desires no
imperialism but If we found Admiral
De Bon's proposal strange there are
nevertheless, limitations which we
cannot accept"
He declared it was impossible that
the French delegation had said that
submarines would be used to des-
troy the enemy's commercial fleet.
He explained the necessity of sub
marines in defending the coast and
transporting supplies for troops.
Preceding the debate over the ma
val budget, the naval commission
had published a resolution urging
the number of submarines so as to
adequately defend the coast line, in
view of the present weakness of the
navy, which was stressed during the
discussion in the senate.
The concluding paragraph of the
naval commissions resolution was
as follows:
"One cannot conc We, therefore,
that Frances efforts n this direc-
tion should be obstructed or limited.
1t is question of national indepen-
dence and not of the right of legit-
innate defense that is at stake" The
resolution was adopted in connection
with the naval commissions report
on its program, based on two prin-
ciples:
That the French navy must always
be superior to the German navy and

Fresh Water Supply.

There are several springs bubbling
out of the ground along the shores
OF the creek on the west bank.
These will be cleaned out and Deep
ened and will run into small lily
ponds. The overflow will run into
the big lake. The spring and sum-
mer rains will be depended on to
a certain measure to furnish the
water supply for the lake, but in
addition to this, four or six inch
water main will be laid to the lake
from the city system.
In the event the rains and springs
fail to keep the water sufficiently
pure and fresh, the big water main
will be used. At the base of the big
dam, a SO inch tiling will be INSTALL
ed. To this will be fixed flood gate
which may be opened allowing the
pressure of the water to flush out
the sediment at the bottom of the
lake. Diving piers, trapeze, spring
boards and the like will be con-
structed for the bathers.

BuckwI,eat and Cakes.

Even though there Is great satisfac-
ton ut the breaking Of five crop records
In the United States this year. many
an American must heave sigh as he
reads thnt the buckwheat crop has
never exceeded the production of 1868.
and that this season It Is S;0OO.DOO
bushels below the top yield Of that
year. Who does not know TINT the de-
cline OF the buckwheat cake M the
backbone of hearty breakfast liz the
cause of the falling Off?
The buckwhcat cake was once an
American Institution. 1t followed the
pioneer from the Atlantic coast into
the depths Of the Middle West. Tfs
allies were homemade sausngcS and
Sugar-holfsc syrup. 1t held the liE~s
from early November until the sap rs-
gan to run IN the spring. Then these
followed plentiful doses Of sulplrdr
and InolTsses to rid the blood of im-
purities supposed to be the result IT

Moral force are meh and their nc

tumult Of baggage wagons, attends
the movement. In what obscure and

crowned with more than imperial au-

and with these its solitary combina-
lions Of ideas. as with magic formu-
las, bend the world to its will. The
time may come when Napoleon him

than for his battles; and the victory
Of Waterloo prove less momentous

The Ancient Writery.

The excellence OF the ancient writ
ers does not consist In trick thar
can be learned. but In perfect adam
tation OF means to ends. The secret
or the style Of the great Greek and
Roman authors is that # is the per
lection of good sense. In the first
place. they never use a word without
meaning, or word which adds
nothing TO the meaning; they knew
what they wanted to say, and their
whole purpose was to say IT with the
highest degree OF eXactness and COM
pietcnesS. and bring 1t home to the
mind with the greatest possible clear
ness and vividncss The ancicnts
were concise because Of the extreme
pains they took with their epithets:
almost all moderns are prolix because
they do not. The great ancients could
express u thought SO perfectly I'm II

not need to add any more.-Johp
