HERDLEA BUILD
INCS DESTROYED

New Hope A fire broke out at
/ o'clock saturday night on the Wiki
inson farm of the Herdlea tract in
Solebury township about half mile
northeast of the Canada Hill Baptist
Church The hay and grain barne, the
big big cow-testing barn and the
wagon house were destroyed The
loss is estimated at about $4,000 the
big test batr,newly erected only a
short time ago, alone costing over
100000 =. 3.
The fire started in the wagon house
IN which an automobile was stored.
This wa seompletely destroyed. Louis
Ashton is the tenant, and he cannot
account for the fire except offering
the theory of incendiarism. Appar-
antly there was no live stock in tire
building, nor any machinery except
the new electric light plant which
was a total loss.
Eagle Fire Co. went to the scene
and rendered valuable service in saw
ing the house and corn cribs. The
Wilkinson place 81 one of the farms
bought by the Herdlea interests two
years ago, and was involved in the
litigations which threatened to dis
pose of all the holdings at forced
sale. This has been prevented from
time by payments made on pressing
claims in mysterious way Herds
whereabouts are unknown.

Fight On Ku
Klux Khan

The fight against the Ku Klux Klan
is growing more interesting and more
widespread every day, and the Khan is
fighting back against its enemies with
vigor. Various papers in many parts
of the country have undertaken tex
posures" of the organization and its
methods and aims, and the Khan has
started or says it will start libel suits
against those publications that misrep-
resent it. In Chicago an organization
called the National Unity council has
been formed with the avowed purpose
of suppressing the Klan and its So
called "invisible empire" The council.
which is to be extended throughout the
country, is headed by Edward f.
Dunno, former governor of Illinois. He
says the Ku KluX are menace to the
nation because they "avoWedly pro-
solely because, either they worship
God in manner permitted by the Con-
stitution of the United States, or be-
cause they were born without the Uni
ted States. They place the black man
without the pale of the law. Such or
CARNATIONS foment racial, religious
and political enmities instead of en-
couraging comfy and friendship be-
tween all classes of American citizens
which should be the aim of every
broad-minded American"
Meanwhile the Khan continues to
grow in numbers with extraordinary
rapidity, now having it is said more
than half million members, and be-
ing organized in every state in the
Union except New Hampshire, Utah
and Montana.

PUBLIC SCHOOL
NOTES
NOTICE TO PARENTS OF
HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS

1t is important that you and your
child be satisfied with the course of
study that the child is pursuing.
Will this course give your child the
proper preparation for the future
life work?
Do not permit any outside in
fluence to interfere with your child's
work.
A high school pupil should spend
one to two hours each evening on
home study.
Be interested in the quality of work
done by your child.
If pupil receives D of NJ in any
subject it should be made a matter
of immediate inquiry. Possibly it is
to be attributed to lack of study, to
too many outside engagements, to
irregularities in attendance or to a
cause which may be improved.
1t is important toremember that
the loss of even a portion of a school
session often probably proves to be
a serious interruption to progress,
and tendsto produce lack of inter
est in school work.
Your hearty cooperation is solicit
ed in the endeavor to secure the best
development in your child.

League Elects
Judges

The assembly of the League or Ma
tions continues to function, in disre-
gard of the assertions of various per-
sonages that the league Is virtually
dead. Parenthetically, it may be said
that the treaty of Versailles guaran-
tees the leagues life for 80 years for
the purposes of administering the Saar
basin and the control of DanZig. The
chief accomplishment of the assembly
last week was the election of judges
of the international court of justice.
Elihu Root having declined, for per-
sonal reasons, to be candidate, the
Latin-American group brought about
the election of John Bassett Moore of
New York. He and ten others were
accepted by the council. Three deputy
judges also were elected and con-
firmed, but there was trouble over the
choice of the fourth deputy. Three
times the assembly elected Senior AL
varez of Chile, and three times the
council voted for NJ. Descamps of Bel
GUM. AT last the deadlock was re-
ferred to committee. Senior Amador
of Panama threatened to withdraw his
delegation if Alvarez was not accepted
by the council.
The question of the leagues compe-
tence to judge the Tacna-Arica dis
pute and the Chile Bolivia treaty was
referred to a committee of three jur-
lists. Senior Edwards of Chile stated
that he was not prepared to admit that
the league was licensed to intrude in
purely South American affairs in VIC
lation of the Monroe doctrine. Senior
Aramayo of Bolivia, having received
new instructions from La Paz, with
drew his demand that the dispute with
Chile be included in the agenda of the
assembly.

PEACE UNCER-
TAIN IN IRELAND

The Irish-meaning the Sim Fem
ers-were willing to hold conference
with the British cabinet at Inverness
this week, as proposed by Premier
Lloyd George, but as was easily pre-
dicted, they didn't want to submit to
the only condition imposed, that the
Sim Fem must abandon its demand
for separation from the empire. De
Valera sent Harry Boland and Joseph
McGrath with his acceptance of the in
vitation. but in his letter he made sew
eral reservations, chief of which was
his objection to admitting Ireland's al
legiance to the British crown before
entering the conference He also ar
gued that if the premier objected to
the secession of Ireland from the en-
pire he should not support the seces-
sion of Ulster from Ireland.
Mr.. Lloyd George sent the courlers
back to Dublin with a message to De
Valera that his note was unsatisfac-
tory and he had better write another
This the governor supplemented by
a telegram to De Valera canceling the
arrangements for the Inverness con-
of the Irish attitude, negotiations
would be useless The premier was
as eonciliatory as he could be con-
sistently. but at this writing 1t
Is uncertain whether the neg0ti-
ations for peace will continue. The
re- dalQ
gates for the conference, if it Is held,
and De Valera is not one of them. The
delegates are: Arthur Griffith, founder
of Sim Fem and republican foreign
minister; Michael Collins, minister of
finance; Robert Barton, secretary of
Irish republican army liaison officer,
who helped to arrange the truce, and
George Gavan Duffy, the Irish envoy
to Rome.
Several of these men are classed as
moderates. The Freeman's Journal of
Dublin says: "Their task may have its
difficulties, but its successful accom-
plishment will be the crown of a great
achievement. Both nations have their
hearts set on an honorable ending here
and now to the struggle of centuries,
Their desire is well within the realm Of
possibility and practicability. All the
efforts of the would-be wreckers in
Great Britain hitherto have failed,
There is then enough craftsmanship in
the Irish delegation to confirm that
failure and to complete a fabric of
reaa. -"

Report Government
Expenses Cut

in the ordinary government expendi-
lures for the current fiscal year. Re-
auctions for the War department, ship
ping board, railroads, veterans bureau

experts began getting the measure
ready for presentation in the senate on

stock tax effective in 1922 and to sub
stitute for these fiat corporation tax
of Is per cent, effective January l.,

retention of freight and passenger
transportation taxes at half their pres
ent rates and those on express ship
ments and oil pipe lines at their pres
ent rates for another year, and con-
tinuation of many miscellaneous taxes
which the house voted to repeal.

ARMAMENT
TOPICS


Diplomatic conversations and infor-
NAL exchanges between the govern
ments concerned have progressed so
far that Secretary Hughes has been
able to send to the other four great
powers and to China a suggested out
line of the topics for the conference.
This proposed agenda has not been
made public, pending its acceptance by
the other governments, but is believed
to include, aside from limitation of
ornaments, these suggestions:
Territorial integrity of Russia, the
open door, and equal opportunity for
economic activities the powers acting
as trustees until Russia shall have re-
covered and set up central, represent
tative government.
Territorial integrity of China and
the "open door"
The substitution of international CO.
operation for the past practice of seek
ing selfish, monopolistic advantages in
China.
Assistance to China in achieving ad-
ministrative, fiscal and judicial re-
forms.
A Tokyo newspaper says Mr.. Hughes
also includes in his suggestions man
dates If they have not been previously
settled and Manchuria and the Chi
nese Eastern railway. That question
of Notwithstanding in this case es-
pecially Yap-is causing the japanese
a lot Of worry. They don't want it
brought up In the conference and are
doing their utmost to get it settled be-
fore the Washington meet opens. Their
continued occupation of Shantung is
another matter they desired TO keep
out of the conference, but in this they
are likely to be disappointed They
have asked China to enter into private
negotiations for the settlement Of that
controversy, but the more intelligent
elements in China rely on the Wash
fngton meeting to right their country's
wrongs and the Picking government
has refused Japans proposition, fear
ing that it would be overthrown if it
accepted. Some of the leaders in that
government have long been suspected
of being pro-Japanese. An Interesting
report in Washington is that Robert
Lansing, former secretary of state I'M
der President Wilson, will be an ad-
wiser to the Chinese delegation.
