BEES ARE THRIVING.

Bees came through the win
ter in almost perfect condition
and with hardly more than two
thirds of the usual loss of colo
MES during the winter. Partly
due to this and partly to the
progress of agriculture in 1920,
the number Of colonies of bees
this spring is estimated by the
Bureau of Crops Estimates,
United States Department of
Agriculture, as IA per cent
above the number of a year ago
at the same season. Among the
States in which notable advance
has been made in number of
colonies are nearly all of the
North Atlantic States, Mary

South Dakota, Louisiana and
Montana.

NO IMMEDIATE ADVANCE
INTO RUHR DISTRICT

Lympne, Eng, April 24-It is
learned authoritatively that no ad-
vance on the Ruhr will be made un-
til after a definite decision and ap-
prevail by the supreme council.
Premiers Lloyd George and BRAND
regarded Germany's note concerning
her willingness to undertake recon-
struction of the devastated regions
as a distinct concession, satisfactory
as far as it goes: but they feel COM
PEELED to reserve Judgment regarding
the offer of German labor, as France
has her own labor troubles and must
examine this project in the light of
Frances international situation.
NJ. BRAND recalls, However, that
France has repeatedly applied to
Germany for certain materials for
work OF restoration without getting
an answer.
1t is learned from French source
that M. BRAND requested the British
prime minister to return to their
stations four battalions of British
rtoops one in Silesia and three on tho
Rhine, which were brought back to
England on account of the coal
strike. He also asked for naval CO.
operation for a blockade of Ham,
burg.
Mr.. Lloyd George replied that this
was matter for the British cabinet
to determine.

Favor One Year Rule

Dowdoin College, April 23--Bowdoin
may adopt the Freshman rule which
would bar the members of the enter
ing class from competing in varsity
athletics until after the first semes-
ter. This rule would restrict the
Freshmen from competing in foot
ball in the fall on the varsity team.

strong Freshman football team which
would have complete schedule of it's
own. Such a scheme would bring
more Freshmen out for football. it is
thought. and in the long run better
varsity football eleven would be
built up Such a policy is already in
vogue in many of the colleges in New
England such as Wesleyan, Williams
and Amherst and there seems to be
decided sentiment in favor of uni

matter.
The proposed change was talked ov-

this past week. and while no final ac-

convinced that Germany could pay
what was demanded by the Paris
terms. But there must be definite
arrangement for payment. The SUI
preme council must decide whether
Germany was to be given further
time after May to pay the s.x hum
dred million sterling due under the
Paris terms. Also, he declared, a
further advance could not be made
into German territory until all the
allies were agreed on this matter
Theer was complete sympathy
with the French desire to make Ger
many comply with the terms agreed
to at Paris. but added Mr.. Lloyd
George, the ministers must go into
Che supreme council with free hands
as to how the terms were to be en-
forced. Gerat Britain could not un-
derstood why Germany had put for
ward a note concerning reconstruc-
ton of the devastated areas, which
was inadequate without providing
for the balance of the reparations.
There was no objection, said the
premier to notes being forwarded
through Washington. Indeed, Great
Britain, would be glad IL America
could be Of further assistance.
America took no responsibility in
forwarding notes. In fact, It was
possible that Germany had decided
to send the note through America.
owing to President Harding's assur-
ance that he would forward the
note to the allies IL it should be ac-
ceptable to them. It was a mistake.
However, for Germany to do SO, Mr..
Lloyd George declared, when she

Lloyd George spent three quarters of
an hour with correspondents, ans
wering all questions, but requesting
them not to endeavor to use his re-
marks with quotations, as he had not
chosen his phrases with precision
and would not have an opportunity
to revise the language attributed to
him.

achievements. however, the time is
given as official and accurate.
Paddock, short and chunky, has

impression of running without any
lost motion. gathering speed very
quickly, Robert Edgren and other

American Delegates
Welcome to Conference

Llmpne, April 24.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press.)-The allied govern
ments will be invited to send repre-
sentatives to a meeting of the SUI
preme council next Saturday to con-
slider the German proposals, if they
are received in the meantime, and to
determine upon immediate collective
action should the German proposals
be unacceptable. This was decided
upon by Premiers Lloyd George and
BRAND at their conversations here
today.
, If the British coal strike is ended
the supreme council will meet in
Paris; if the strike is not ended it
will meet in London.
The United States government will
not be invited to attend, as it is not

meets, but both premiers would well
come the presence of American dele
gates.
They consider it unfortunate that
the German government should not
have sent a copy of its latest propos-
ais to them, so that they might begin
an examination at this meeting.
However, as Mr.. LloydGeorge said,
they would be glad to have them
through America hands.
The conversations between the pre-
miers, of which there have been five
of from two to three hours each. have
turned upon the French project of oc-
cupation and economic control of
more of the Rhenish Westphalian
region. NJ. BRAND and M. Berthelot
expounded the plans, and Mr. Lloyd

sentatives. Both premiers are quite
agreed that the Ruhr coal field must

failure to accept. with satisfactory
guarantees, the terms of the docu-
ment signed at Paris, January 20. by

Labor Leaders Protest
Nation Wide Open Shop
Movement at Philadelphia

Philadelphia, April "a - Samuel
Gompers and Frank Morrison. re-
spectively president and secretary Of
the American ederation Of Labor ad-
dressed mass meetings here today
Fheld to protest against what was
described as 1.-The nation wide open
shop movement
1T is my judgment and convic-
tion," declared Mr.. Gompers, that
the American people who did so
much to defeat military autocracy in
the last war, will not consent to the
substitute in the United States of an
industrial autocracy. Now that we
understand better the meaning of
citizenship and the rights of liberty
we are not going to surrender to any
gang of men because Of their wealth
alone"
Mr.. Gompers condemned efforts to
lower costs by cutting wages and
what he describes as an organized
movement now being promulgated by
chambers of commerce throughout
the country and by the National
Association of Manufacturers.
1.-THE men who are responsible for
this movement" he declared, shave
minds that are five centuries behind
the times. Up until a few months
ago the cry was always Produce,
produce even after the war was over
this order came from the cham
bers of commerce. The echo had
scarcely passed away when the shops
began to shut down closed by the
manufacturers themselves. And vast
numbers of men and women were
thrown into the streets. in a rich and
bountiful country. Such a tragedy is
an indictment against the captains
of industry and the princes Of fin
ance.
"Then the first move is wage cut.
They say times are bad and cutting
wages is a remedy. Cutting wages
is thought to be the best plan to de-
stroy the cohesion of the worker.
So, under hypocriticel cloak and
