certain persons outside the conference
had made a ease out Of the press to
disturb the good relations existing be-
tween the countries re presented here.
He was delighted that the Chairman had
used his high authority to close the I'M
fortunate Incl lent for all time, and eX-
pressed thanks to Messrs. Viviani and
BRAND for their sentiments of sympathy
fer Italy which are so we'll known to
everyone. The committee unanim Dusty
agreed. They received the report Of the
subcommittee on foreign post offices in
in China and adopted in it unanimously,
the date on which it shall come into force
and effect being deferred for public an
nouncemert in the near future, The re-
port as az Oted, is as follows. RecOg-
nizing The Justice of the desire ex-
pressed by the Chinese Government to
secure the abo. ton Of foreign postal
agencies save or 0Xcept in the leased
territories, or as otherwise specially pro-
yided by treaty, it is resolved. The four
Powers having such postal age~cies
agree to their abandonment subject to
the following conditions. That an eff
Client Chinese postal service is maintain
ed. That an assurance is given by the
Chinese Govt. that they cOntempSe no
change in the present postal a6ninNtra-
tion so far as the status Of the Foreign
cO-DirectOr General is concerned. To en-
able China and the Powers concerned to
make the necessary disposition, this ar
rangement shall come into force and
effect no later than pending the complete
withdrawal of foreign posttl agencies
The four Powers concerned severalIy I'M
dertake to afford full facilities to the
Chinese customs authorities in those
agencies to all postal matter excepting
ordinary letters, whether registered or
NOT shich upon external examination
appear plainly to contain written matter
passing though them, with a view to
ascertain whether they contain articles
which are dutiable or contraband,&
which otherwise contravene the Gu
toms regulations or laws of China.
The Committee received the statement
of the sub-COn mittee on extra ter
retOriality, reporting progress, and a
statement from the Chinese delegation
asking for the removal of the various
establishments placed in China by vari-
Gus foreign powers without treaty sane
ton, such as foreign troops, police boxes
and telegraph and wireless stations.
The committee also decided to begin
the discussion of the questions at it's
next next meeting. The committee also
decided that there shuold be constituted a
standing subcommittee on drafting to
be composed of a delegate appointed by
each power. The committee then ad-

Montreal, Nov. 28th.-That the right
of the British Navy to command the
seas never had been challenged and new
err would be challenged by any power,
was the statement of Admiral Beatty,
Victor of the battle of Jutland, here last
night before the WOmen's Canaulan l.
He said that during the dark days Of L.
war when our merchant ships were be-
ing sunk in numbers which almost caused
$espair we were actually, in the he TT of
th\British Empire, within four weeks of

Wa, nington, Nov. 18th. The follow.
ing ~c5mmuniQue issued today, after the
meeting of the Far Eastern Committee
of the Armament Conference, in part
said. The Committee on Pacific and Far
Eastern questions met at II a. m. Mon
Ga. November 28th 1921 in the Pan
Am, Building. The Chairman, MIR.
Hughes, a. the outset Of the meeting
called attention to the inaccurate and
DAMAGING press report, which has been
cabled abroad. in order that its unfor-
tunata Oh racter, inaccuracy aud falsity
might be noted, He referred 10 the re-
port that during the discussion IN com
mittee regarding land ornaments, NJ,
BRAND had made statements OF an often
siVe character regarding the Italian
army, and that representative of Italy
did no. appropriately resent the state
ment. Mr., Hughes said, that, as every
member OF the Committee kpew, this
was wholly false, and that M. Br1~ !
haC said nothing whatsoever refect.ug
upon the Italian Govt. or the Italian
army, that nothing occurred that re
CURED any rejoinder by the represent
alive Of Italy, and that the entire report
had no existence whatever in fact. 1t
seemed to be advisable that the Chair
man OF the conference should make this
statement, in order that appropriate
notes should be made Of it. In reply 0
the statement of the Chairman, M. Viyi-
ami on behalf of France, said Il thank
the Chairman for his kindness in adding
with his high authority his denial 10 that
of Mr.. Schanzar and myself. Il is per
fectly apparent that M. BRAND could
never have said such things as a V been
put into mis- mouth. How cor d he have
done so, when the closes bonds OF
friendship and allegiance G list between
the two countries. The tIo nations have

Of ne o speculatiOn6. Regar 5
of the official and other denials fl
British sources, it is positively asserted by
the magnates friends that he was the
week end guest of Mr.. Lloyd George at
Chequers Court and that his movements
while in England were so skilfully mask
ed, that newspaper correspondents and
others wishing to see him were complete.
Iy dup9d as to his whereabouts, Herr
ABernhard, writing in the Vossische
Zeitung, asserts that Herr Slim
in addition to discussing reparatir
and Allied issues while IN England. 80
preached the subject of creating a 5.uro-
pean railway trust. This, the writer de-
clares, would not only take over the
bankrupt German system, but also that
of the other European Countries, The
reconstruction of the Russian Railway
he said, would b. the logi al outcome of
such an amalgamatiOn, in which Great
Britain and it's capital would be inter
ested. Herr Bernhard openly opposes
the reported plan, asserting that British
influence, once it was able to lay hands
on the German Railway sy stem, would
surely prove inimical to German indus
tries generally.
Berlin, Nov. 18th. Now that M. Bri-
and, the French Premier, is homeward
bound from the Was. Conference,
the newspapers here are urging Chan
cellor Wirth to abandon his reserve, at
least to the extent Of informing the Uni
ted States public of the u~seleSsness of
M. Brands arguments in support of
Frances attitude of disarmament" The
newspapers say that the Wirth Govern
ment did not desire to engage in acrimo-
NOUS controversy with VI. BRAND while
he was the guest of the United States,
but that now it will be expected to dis
card the considerations Of etiquette and
make q plain spoken declaration of Ger
many's case.

ArbOr And Bird Day Proclamation
lRY the GoYernOrl

The observance of Arbor Day at
this season of the yea is a custom
long since established. Its purpoe is
to foster the conservation of our tree
and forest resources, both as an
aesthetic and economic necessity.
Suppose some great disaster should
rob the wosld of its trees. 1t is al
most unthinkable. A treeless world
is we'll nigh beyond our power to con-
ceive. To an extent seldom realized,
our comfort and our happiness are
dependent upon the trees. They flu
nish food and shade and shelter for
man and beast They build our homes
and fill them with furniture. They
help to conserve our water supply.
They satisfy our sense of beauty. In
innumerable ways they cont ribute to
our weli-being. Trees, too, are the
natural home of most of our birds,
and what dreary place this world
would be with either birds or trees
lacking.
Therefore, by virtue Of the author
state of Michigan, do hereby desig-
nate and set aside
Friday, May 6, 1921 as ArbOr and
Bird Day
and | request that exercises appro-
pirate to the day be held in all our
schools and that teachers seek to i'm
press thei- pupils with the Importance
of maintaining our shade trees and

further that the boys and girls in
school be encouraged to study the
cha .acteristics and habits of Michi-
gan birds.

SOUTHWESTERN.
MICHIGAN GETS
WORST OF FROST
LAST WEEKS FREEZE RUINS A
PART OF FRUIT CROP. THE
M. A. c. REPORTS

Southwestern Michigan stood the
brunt of the states fruit loss in last
weeks freeze, according to reports
from over the state which have been
gathered by the Horticultural De-
partment of NJ A. c. Severe damage
to certain crops is noted from this
section, particularly in Berrien coun-
ty, while reports from the northern
part of the state indicate but slight
loss to cherries and apples there.
Good news for lovers of 'sput-
tering row" of apples by the fireside
is contained in the report from the
college that winter varieties of APP
pies, over the entire state, show only
slight damage. In fact, late varieties
in general seem to have escapd the
ravages of the April freeze.
An estimate on the damage caused
in the southwestern sections places
the grape loss at about 80 per cent;
cherries at IS per cent; peaches at
85 per cent: and pears at % per cent
while early plums are reported as
practically wiped out for this year.
But little injury to small fruits is re-
ported from the section, however.

Mothers Day Proclamation
INV the Governor)

1t is a beautiful custom which de-
crees that one Sunday in the year
shall be set apart for the purpose of
honoring the memory of the mothers
who have gone from us and of pay
ing a tribute of affection and rever-
ence to those who are still left to us.
1t is impossible to compute our debt
to our mothers. Their devotion and
sacrifice guarded and sheltered and
cared for us from the cradle up to
manhood and womanhood. To them
most Of us owe whatever there is of
sterling character in ou- makeup.
The mother is the heart of the home,
which linger the recollections of our
mothers, come Inspirations that give
hope and courage and steadfastness
to fight the battle of life.
Therefore, by virtue of the author
ity vested in me as Governor of the
state of Michigan, lido hereby desig-
nate and set aside.
Sunday, May 8, 1921 as Mothers Day
and | call upon our people, both young
and old, to gather in their several
places of worship and take part in
services appropriate to the day.
And let absent sons and daughters
take this occasion to visit the mother
in the old home, or. where such a
visit is impossible, let them send a
message of cheer and greeting.
In accordance with resolution of
the Congress of the United States, !
further request the people Of Michi-
gan on the day aforesaid to display
the United States flag in their homes
and in other suitable places, as a
fitting expression of their desire to
pay homage to American motherhood.

that his family are all we'll at Green

vile WAGER which was responsible for
his taking on weight he said that it
took him a long time before he
could take drink of water up in
Greenville without having that old
longing come back TO. good drink
of our water. He is not the only
one UP at Greenville who feels that
way about it. We know several Of
