ASKED RECESS

Five Power Treaty to Linn

Seems to Have Been
Brought Much Nearer by
This New Move From
France Confirmation
Awaited

Washington, ID. Ct, Dec. 10 lBy the
Associated Press)--A ve-power treaty
to limit naval armament apparently
has been brought much nearer by a
new move ON the part Of France.
Fresh instructions for the French
delegation, said unofficially to include
Premier Brands acceptance Of the
American proposal for French naval
strength. reached Washington to-day
and impelled the French delegates to
ask for 24-hour recess in the naval
negotiations while they decoded the
message and pondered its contents
Meantime despite unofficial advices
from abroad saying there has been q
positive acceptance by the French gov
crnment, conference leaders are sound
ing note Oh warning against over OPP
ftimism.
y The French themselves manifest
great surprise at the newspaper cable
dispatches reporting an acceptance
They had presented proposal for
twice as great French capital ship
fleet as that provided under the Amer
lean figures and they are not ready to-
believe their home government has SO
quickly accepted the lesser proposition
unless there are important conditions
attached. E ~, u ;..s,.ss
In some quarters it "a regarded as
probable that the message from M.
BRAND, Ahieil IL OF considerable length,
makes the capital ship arrangement
contingent on settlement regarding
auxiliary craft which win give France
what she wants in submarines and
cruisers.
Should it turn out, however, that an
unconditional acceptance is contained

LAMAR AND HOLLY LEAD
ing Is Now Reversed by Double
Wins for PrOwers County
Teams,
Won Lost Percent

Sunday last was Prowers county's
day in the Bent-Prowers league. Both
the Lamar and Holly teams played
double headers and cleaned up ON all
the games Holly defeated Fort Lyon
at Holly by scores of 5 to 3 and 6 to
4. Lamar won two on the home
grounds from las Animas and as all
the teams were tied last week at 2
and 2 it leaves the two Prowers coun-
ty teams with just double the stand
ing Of the two Bent county teams.
The games at Lamar We're well at
tended and the first one especially
was exciting in the extreme and was
not won till the Lamar players made
q run in the last half of the ninth.
Rose pitched seven innings for Lamar
and Gregg finished it winning by the
narrow margin of G TO 5. Smith for
Las Animas pitched fine game and
only the break of the luck beat him.
However, he tried to last out the see
ond game also and was not equal TO
the task. He blew up in the fourth
inning when three hits, two bases on
balls, one hit by pitched ball and two
errors, spoiled good hall game. Rey-
nolds led off with single, Boyd walk
ed, Hoover was safe on an error by
Kuhns scoring Reynolds on the throw
in. Linder struck out, Rose was safe
when Ward dropped his pop up to
third, Bachman sacrificed scoring
Boyd, Gregg singled bringing in Hoov-
er and Rose, Caulk was hit by pitch
ed ball, Parker walked filling the
bases. Reynolds cleared the bases with
a two base hit to right, and Boyd hit
an easy grounder to the pitcher who
threw him out at first retiring the
side.
Reynolds was the heaviest hitter
of the day making four safe hits in
seven times up and two of them for
extra bases.
The Lamar team plays at Holly on
next Sunday and the winner OF that
game will be the league leader for the
next week.
The box scores of the two games are
as follows:

A. F. of L. Convention.

Samuel Gompers, as usual, won out
easily in the labor convention at Den
yer this week, and it proves how weak
the bolshevii movement is in this
country that even in this most radi-
cal labor body he was able to put
over resolution condemning all re-
lations with the soviet powers that
are running Russia. by a vote Of over
two 70 one. Mr.. Gompers at times
seems to be quite radical himself. but
his influence on this organization has
been of such a conservative tendency
in most lines that he should be re-
garded as one of the governments
best assets. In forty-two years of
the organizations history he has scor-
ed forty-one victories.

The Day of the Enlisted Man.

Secretary Of War DENLY was an
enlisted man in the navy during the
late war, and now that his rise in
rank has put him over the heads Of
the admirals that used to lord it over
all below them, he must take great
pleasure in the reverse order Of things.
1t is said that he acquired an oriental
Prayer Rug" while in the east. and
when he calls admirals on the carpet
he has them stand on the rug-and
they feel the need of prayer at once.
