1t is impossible to associate the naval
problems OF France and Italy with those
OF the United States and Japan. Geog-
raphy has said they are entirely sep
arate. England, on the other hand, is
very much affected by them. and so the
Imitation OF these services actually lies
with Great Britain, France and Italy.
The only way in which the Limitation
OF the ar1naments of the Latin nations
can affect the United States or Japan is
by affecting England. Should France
or Italy retain an advantage which
would be dangerous to England the
British would naturally demand forces
which would nullify the danger. Then il
England is allowed increased tonnage
in any way the United States and Japan
will also want increases
Some American naval authorities are
therefore OF the opinion that the naval
ratios for France and Italy will be set
tied In Europe and not at the confer
ence. The balance of naval power in
Europe does not concern the United
States or Japan to any great extent.

Conference Doings.

Japan decided to accept the
5-5-3 naval ratio, but with an
~ earnest plea that her splendid
battleship Mutsu be saved from the
scrap heap, principally as matter
of national pride The decision
rests with the Big Three.
The new four Power treaty pre-
serving peace in the Pacific was
signed and delivered to President
Harding, who viii keep 1t away
from the Senate until it has been
thoroughly understood by the
American people.
Indications were that opposition
to ratification of the treaty was de-
creasing rather than increasing, 1t
being stated that the Borah bloc
would oppose all treaties entered
into by the conference.
Considerable discussion arose over
the question of a financial confer
ence, but there was no indication
that the American Government was
prepared to take any action on the
subject.

WASHINGTON PACT
AS AID TO FRANCE
Germans Agree Treaty Gives

Other Powers.

Berlin, Dec. L.
Frances participation in the four
Power accord just reached in Washing
ton is the principal point of the treaty
referred to in German newspaper com.
ment. Nationalist, Socialist and Com
munist organs agree that France is now
able to effect at will a majority decision
or a deadlock in any discussion which
goes on among the treaty members.
Specifically her position enables her.
Berlin newspaper editors hold, to obtain
from the other Powers concessions In
connection with Frances European pol
icy. Editorial writer's here emphasize
that France is now able to fish in
troubled waters and may lend her vote
to either the United States or England,
according to which Power is willing to
support her German policy at the mo-
ment.
1t Is asserted that the United States
drew France into the treaty In order to
prevent England and japan from con-
tinuIng to cooperate against the United
States; that in order to abolish the
Anglo-Japanese alliance not only for
mally but effectively the United States
had to draw France into the treaty.
Thereby, II is held, II Is, henceforth, i'm
possible for England and Japan to con-
stitute a majority vote against the at
titude OF the United States In any ques-
tions regarding tho Pacific Ocean that
may be discussed.
The Deutsche TGOesSeitung declares
that "the enthusiasm OF the French press
regarding Frances membership in the
treaty IS not sufficiently explained by
the compliment which this membership
means to French vanity"
THE reasons are deeper" It continues.
I'VE approach them II we remember that
Frances glance Is. above all, directed
toward Europe--practically upon the
Rhine. She already sees day when her
voice will be decisive in controversies
among the Powers in connection with
Pacific questions"
Vortode1ts says: "The four Power
treaty means a victory for the United
States. A novel feature OF the Washing
ton conference is that an imperiaIlst pol
icy Is forced by n comparatively young
Power without, however. rattling the
sword. We welcome above all the fact
that the treaty adopts the principle OF
arbitration. The idea Of an interstate
conference Is young. II Is desirable that
IL should become a permanent habit"
DR. Rosen. formerly Minister of For
eign Affairs. speaking at meeting of
the Industrial party in Bernburg to-
day, commented favorably on the WASH
ington agreement.
THE German people have no reason
70 be dissatisfied with the understand
ing between England and America
cemented In Washington" he said This
understanding is even an essential basis
for the plan OF granting Germany a
moratorium"

Coon Valley, June 13-There were
two picnics in the vicinity on Sunday.
At the Adolph Brye home was held the
Buttermakers' picnic at which there
was a gathering of people interested
in the promoting Of the dairy industry
of this neighborhood. Excellent talks
were given by Adolph Brye, president
of the creamery board, Mr.. Larson of
Madison, secretary of the Wisconsin
Buttermakers' Association, County
AgenU Schilling and Lewis Brye. Hans
Hoiberg, the local buttermaker who
incidentally is president of the Wiscon-
lsin Buttermakers' Association, presid-
ed and in general was responsible for
the successful meeting. Meetings of
this nature are a good beginning in the
building up Of the right cooperative
spirit in the community and the build
ing up Of the dairy industry of Coon
Valley. With the rich variety of
grass found along the springs and
streams, on the hills and in the val
leys, and the pure water so abundant
everywhere the dairy cows of this
vicinity are producing the finest and
richest sort of milk With com
munity of intelligent thrifty farmers
becoming possessed with good co..
Operative spirit telling them to follow
the hygienic rules Of dairying and with
an up-to-date creamery run by our
high-class buttermaker, one Of the
very best In the state, there is no rea-
son why Coon Valley butter should not
have a wide reputation for quality and
be sold on the market at a distinct pre-
MUM. Coon Valley is famous now
for its beautiful scenery; why not
make equally well known the product
of its dairy farms?
On Charlie Thrume's place was held
the Sunday school picnic. Short talks
were made by Rev. Roalkvam and Mr..
Koefod, the director of the Sunday
school.
Nils Blihovde, an old and respected
resident of the community, was laid to
rest at the Coon Valley cemetery on
Saturday afternoon.
The Coon Valley base ball team was
defeated by Newton on Sunday after
noon by score of 9 to 3. Although
the boys have lost every game this
season they are not becoming discour-
aged or disheartened. They see in
base ball and athletics in general more
than the mere winning of the game.
Some one has to lose. The real ben
efits derived are healthy recreation,
development of good cooperative spirit
and team play and the creating of
good sound craftsmanship, as a matter
of fact defeat is the test of sport
manship.
