TIE PEACE TREATY.

Whether it be regarded-as it is in
some quarters-as a victory for Ger
many. or hailed as a triumph of Amer
lean craftsmanship, the signing of the
peace treaty between the United States
and its enemies in the World war is an
accomplished fact.
Prior to the actual signing by repre-
sentatives of the powers involved all the
work of its preparation was conducted in
secret. There were many rumors and
much preliminary gossip too as to the
stipulations of the treaty, but through
them all the state department worked on
in silence
When the full text of the treaty was
finally published there was no demon
stration either in Berlin or in the United
States. Most persons appear to look
upon it as a mere formality. There are,
of course, honest citizens who regard it
as a shameful and dangerous thing, and
others equally honest who rejoice greatly
at its successful consummation. But the
majority of Americans will continue to
take it calmly enough.
The treaty has retained for the United
States, all the rights and privileges which
would have accrued to this government
under the Versailles treaty, and has
lodged successfully all the obligations
which were so fearfully regarded on this
side of the Atlantic. What win be its
permanent place in history remains to be
seen.

REPORT INDUSTRIAL REVIVAL.
Experts Not Sure Whether 1t Is Sea-
Sonal or Permanent

WASHINGTON, Aug, 3O-A general
revival of business and industry is I'M
der way in the United States, according
to Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
and to reports being received by the
federal reserve board and other agen-
cies.
Reserve board reports Indicate that
the general revival in buying and com
rercial activity, generally, is greater
THAN at any period since the depression
of last September began.
Administration officials. however, are
not prepared to- commit themselves
fully to the prophecy of general bust
ness boom. Mr.. Mellon offers the sug-
gestion that the renewed activity may
be seasonal, or it may be the forerunner
Of the general boom that is expected
with the return to normally. 1t is
pointed out that business always picks
up in the early fall, after a period of
midsummer dullness, but usually this
Seasonal activity does not particularly
manifest itself until September.
People in olden times wore the emerald
in the belief that it prevented giddiness
and strengthened the memory.

LIFE ON HONEYMOON

UNION, Ct, Sept. 22-The body
of Mrs. Norah Johnson Kettelle,
who as a bride of few days dis
appeared from a camp at Lake
Mashapaug where she was on her
honeymoon on September -, was
found in the lake today. 1t was
recovered by a caretaker of an es-
tate but was not removed from the
water pending examination by the
coroner and state police. Mrs.
Kettelle, a graduate of Radcliffe,
90 years of age, disappeared while
her husband, John ID. Kettelle of
Cambridge was absent from the
camp When he returned he found
her gone, most of her clothing left
behind and the boat belonging to
the cottage missing together with
her bathing suit. The boat was
found near the opposite shore in
the search which Kettelle made.
The anchor was missing. Mrs. Ket-
telle was an expert swimmer. Ket-
tellc who went home after several
days of unsuccessful search said
he thought his wife had beached
the boat, that it had drifted away
and that in swimming out after it,
she became exhausted.
