Chamber Approves Decision
/. at London Conference
by Vote of 491 to 66
ON DISARMAMENT
DR.. Simons Tells Reichstag Negotia-
tions Will be Resumed-Want Allies
to Conrrcl Arms in Germany

Paris, March 18.-The decisions OF
! the London reparations conference,
the occupation of Dusseldorf and
other German cities and the apDli-
cation of the Allied economic pen
alt;es on Germany were approved by
the Chamber of Deputies yesterday
afternoon by a vote that was virtu-
ally unanimous, except for the So
cialists and Communists.
The vote, as officially given out,
was 491 to 66.
Premier BRAND, replying to for
mer Minister OF Finance Klotz and
former Minister Of War Lefevre,
who respectively insisted .upon fur
ther light as to the Governments
intentions with regard to execution
Of the Treaty of Versailles and Sc
curing the disarmament of Germany,
took occasion to answer Gerlnany's
protest to the League of Nations
against the Allied occupation on the
ground that it was a violation of the
treaty.
Germany" he said, "has violated
the treaty in three essential clauses
disarmament, reparations and the
trial of accused officers. Thus the
sanctions as provided for in the
treaty are applicable and just as we
have applied them.
The Allied Commission of Con-
troll he declared, was working under
the advice of Marshals Wilson and
Foch and might be depended upon to
satisfy the requirements Of NJ. Le-
fevre as to the disarmament of
Germany.
NJ. Lefevre said that since he de-
clared in previous debate in the
Chamber that Germany was max
ing a new machine gun, capable OF
shooting 1900 bullets minute, its
existence had been proven. The
gums had been found in Koenigsberg,
he declared, along with a new type
of six inch cannon, proving that the
Germans were making new arma-
ment to replace that destroyed un
der Allied control He said that
material had been discovered in
cellars of the Spandau Arsenal SUI
ficent to manufacture 5000 field
guns.

This dog-of no particular breed

two years.

In the story of how, not long ago,
when the vessel went from Pensacola

for almost two hours.
1t developed that the dog, after the
Schenck departed, reached another de-

was on the bridge and barked so loud.

Waterproof Matches.

Campers and picnickers will hail
with delight the new waterproof match.
which can be easily made at home In
the following way: Melt a few Jumps
of candle wax in an old can on the
stove. Allow this to cool little and
then, before it has set, dip the matches
in, one at a time Treat the heads
and about half of the wooden part.
Place the matches on one side to cool.
Matches tr lated in this simple manner
have been soaked in water for many
hours, and they have ignited as readily
as those which were perfectly dry. The
only difference is that, in striking. it is
needful to do so trifie more firmly so
as to get through the thin film of wax
surrounding the head. When once the
fame starts, the match burns very read
ily, owing TO the wax which has adj
hered to the wood. Amy ordinary
matches can be treated In the manner

is GOLF REALLY IRISH GAME7
SUGGESTION Put Forward, With Some
Evidence, by Correspondent OF
New York Herald.

Writing to the New York Herald,
deyotee of the royal game puts the
query rs golf, after all, an Irish game!
In asking the question it is done with
respect and reverence; in no sense to-
disturb the settled ease and mental
poise and satisfaction of We good Scot
or Briton. Why the suggestion, how
ever? Simply this: Ireland was the
first of the islands to be reclaimed
from Druidism and converted to Chris
tianity That was in the early flfth
century. After that Scotia or Scotland
became Christian-the Sixth century !;
England in the Eighth and Germany in
the Ninth century, and all following
and through Irish missionaries. True
also that the Scotch and Irish were
practically all Celt and one people then
and all friendly. Now, then, it is OF
the old Irish folklore that st. Patrick
at the famous Druid feast showed ID
that the leg of bird was larger than
n quarter OF beef (2) that dog could
kill the bird, and 90 that three leaves
could Jointly subsist on one stem, ana
at that feast there We're feats OF
strength and art all round" and among
the games was the game OF Nine
Holes"
That was the first mention of the
nine hole game, of course. 1t was SO
played in Ireland for centuries. 1t was
the putting of the ball into each hole
of the nine as laid out in the course.
Therefore, the question: Was that game
the forerunner OF its kind in the world,
and if so was it the forerunner or key
stone of golf?

AIR LIFEBOAT BRITISH IDEA
Craft Designed for Sea Rescue WORK
Is Soon TO Be Given
Definite "Tryout."

The first lifeboat of the air, which
has been built with great secrecy. is
to be launched soon in England.
After the official trials it will go
through a series OF tests with the Brit
ish fleet. If it proves to be satisfac-
tory, a large number of the craft on a
much larger scale will be constructed.
The design is the outcome OF three
wears of secret research and tests. Inc
flying lifeboat will be able to reach
vessel in distress at a speed OF more
than 100 miles an hour, and 1t Is
claimed that it will be able to ride
through the toughest storm with the
confident safety of an Atlantic liner.
The boats are able 20 taxi along the
water.
Their seaworthiness is to be tested
by sending the first experimental ship
out with the navy, where it is to re-
main at sea for several days without
any mother ship"
The wing span Of the one now near
ing completion is 14O feet. Safety In
the most violent sea will come from
the residence Of the hull, which is in
one piece from stem to stern. When
this hull strikes huge wave 1T gives
way slightly in much the same way
that a pneumatic tire does when IL
strikes an obstacle on the road.

Plan shrines to Burroughs.

The John Burroughs Memorial as
ISOLATION has started it's campaign to
raise funds to purchase and maintain
the various properties of the late nat
uralist. 1t is estimated it will take
about $4,000 to purchase them, and
an additional $4,000 to maintain them
the first year.
The association intends to maintain
the Burroughs properties as the nat
uralist himself maintained them. His
working library, some of his original
manuscripts, rifles, shotguns and fish
ing tackle will be exhibited. 1t is
the opinion of the association that
shrines to great men, especially
shrines to literary men, are too few,
and that the many friends and admir-
ers of John Burroughs will be inter-
ested in keeping up the places in
which he lived, studied and labored
in the 81 years of his life. 1t hopes
to raise funds to maintain these prop
critics by popular subscription.-New

Royalty in a Freight Yard.

Lieutenant Commander Hugo w.
Koehler in the Worlds Work says:
Our nearest neighbors in a squalid
out-freight yard where we took up
. quarters in Novorossisk were the for
mer president of the Yladikavkaz rail-
road, the best system in Russia, who,
with his children and grandchildren,
occupied one small coach. The Grand
Duchess Marie Pavlova with members
of her former suite and their families,
also had a single coach, while her son,
the Grand Duke Audrey, with his son
Of oddly indefinite parentage and said
sons mother, famous ballerina in
her day, likewise lived for months in
a tiny railroad coach on the opposite
side of our mudhole. The grand
duchess was charming lady, nor did
the terror of her situation and the
utter squalor Of our surroundings take
one whit from her delightful sense OF
humor and her quality of une grande
dame.
