Marlboro,

L. o. Leland of Salisbury Cove
has associated himself here in the
clam industry. He and Mrs. Leland
are occupying the residence Of G. P.
/Stratton.
Business is good in this locality.
Nobody is idle, and there is an ap-
parent surplus of work. The clam
business is exceedingly good and
those connected with the labor are
reporting a good market, high prices
and good supply. Fire wood, lum-
ber and shingle stock are receiving
their share of attention.
An interesting event was the
Christmas concert and tree given by
the pupils of the local school Satur-
day night The exercises were
especially good, and the tree was
very attractice. A real Santa, made
his appearance, and was enthusiasm
callv greeted by the younger genera
ton. A delegation from Partridge
Cove was in attendance.
Mr.. and Mrs Frederick Robinson
have moved here from South Goulds-
boro, renting the Seth Hodgklns
residence. They plan to spend the
winter here.
OF great interest to the residents
of Marlboro is the proposed lnstaiia-
tion of electricity in the community.
Through the efforts of j. sherman
Douglas of Lamoine, the project has
received impetus sufficient to make. 1t
almost assured. The Bangor Electric
Light & Power Co. has presented
estimates and proposals, and 1t IS
quite evident to Mr.. Douglas ana
others closely interested that they
will have the support of the cltlzen-
shin of Lamoine and Marlboro. IL
is thought that the trunk line near
the Ellsworth town farm will be
tanned. serving the Thorsen Farms,
thence to DR.. D. E. Browns prop
erty on the Lamoine road, and
from there to Lamoine Point, with
a branching at Holt's corner TO serve
Partridge Cove and Marlboro.
1t is learned on good authorlty
that Mr.. and Mrs. George Mcclellan
plan to return here to their 1arm
early in the spring. This announce
ment is greeted with interest, for thls
Young couple are decidedly Co
cperative in community betterment.
L. L. Browns strain of White
Wyandottes made a very credlpie

last week. Mr.. Brown sent one

Java imports Much Cotton.

AS in most tropical countries, the
lack of extensive manufacturing de-
velopment causes the Dutch East In
dies to be large importer of manu-
factured goods. The most important
item brought in is cotton goods. In
fact, the island of Java is reported
to be the third largest importer of
cotton goods in the world Formerly
the supply came almost entirely from
Holland and England, but since the
war this trade has been shared by ia
pan and the United States.

The Fan Iona in Use.

\ Fans have been in use since the
time of Sennacherib, as a bas-relief
in the British museum represents that
monarch surrounded by female figures
carrying feather fans. Fans are also
seen in plates of the ruins of PersepO-
lis and of Egyptian sculptures at
Thebes. A wooden fan handle, with
holes for feathers, found in a tomb
II centuries before Christ, may be
seen in museum at Boulak, near
Cairo. Fans were the symbols Of
sacred emblems and rulers in India.

DE VALERA CHANGES
MIND ON TACTICS
At First Wanted Army to Pro-

as Illegal.

DUBLIN. Oct. 1.-THE Dali Eireann
issued a white paper tonight contain
ing the captured correspondence of
cannon de Valera and others.
The correspondence discloses that on
September 6. three days before the meet
Ing of the Irish Parliament. De Valera
wrote Liam Lynch. Commander In Chief
of the republican forces, approving the
suggestion that the army should pro-
claim Parliament as an Illegal assem-
bly,"
The next day he wrote, saying he
had changed his mind, and urged re-
publcans to absent themselves on the
ground that the assembly summoned
was only a provisional Parliament The
army was not strong enough to proclaim
Parliament, the letter stated.
On September II De Valera wrote
that If it was the policy of the party
to leave all to the army the obvious
thing for the members to do was TO re-
sign their positions as public representa-
tives.
On September IA the correspondence
discloses that De Valera urged a state
ment to be prepared saying that the
new Dali was not a legitimate success
sor of the old one and calling upon the
trustees to hand over to them the money
that was subscribed to maintain the
Irish republic.

Berlin. Oct. IL.
ratify the contract with the Russia
Asiatic Consolidated Ltd, involving
the return and reopening of vast min
ing interests. is typical of long series
of similar cases by which the Bolshe-
Wiki have sacrificed their own eco
nomic interests for political consider
atoms.
Although the British Government
has modified its original position ex-
Guiding the Soviet Government from
participation in the Straits settlement,
Maxim Litvinoff told the foreign cor
respondents in Berlin that the atti-
tude of the British Government was
too unfavorable toward the Soviet
Government to justify ratifying the
Russia Asiatic contract.
The refusal was emphatic and in con-
trast to the consideration given French
concessions for which contracts were
ratified at the same time.
"It is no secret that our negotiating
the contract with Leslie Urquhart, di-
rector of the Russia-Asiatic Consoli-
dated. Ltd, was prompted chiefly by
political considerations" said Litvinoff.
1.-THE Genoa and Hague conferences
demonstrated clearly that the regulation
Of political relationships between Russia
and the rest Of the world was hampered
by the absence of a settlement between
Russia and her claimants among private
citizens. Attempts at settlement with
private persons through their Govern
ments failed utterly at these confer
ences.
1.-The bargain with Urquhart was the
first attempt at direct settlement be-
tween the Russian Government and
group of private claimants. Russia
agreed to heavy economic sacrifices In
the hope that by satisfying S5 per cent.
Of the claimants this would improve the
relationship between Russia and the
British.
"The fact that England participated
in the Paris decision to exclude the
Soviet Government from participation in
the Near Eastern conference imme-
diately after the signing of the Urquhart
agreement seemed to Indicate hostility.
It was an unfavorable sign and forecast
the beginning of new British policy
toward Russia, opposed to the Prime
| Minister'S desire to reestablish normal
relations.
Thus our chief purpose for the
| Urquhart agreement-the Improvement
of Anglo-Russian relations-had dis
appeared. The Soviet Government
waited in vain in the hope that Great
Britain would retrace the false steps
she took at Paris. The British Govern
ment, however, made no attempt to ex-
plain this action.
THE Russian Government Is very
reluctant about mixing politics with
private agreements. but 1t has been
forced to follow the initiative OF other
governments. The Russians are no
longer prepared to make economic sac
rifces for the sake of illusory political
advantages. The decision In the Urqu-
hart case does not imply change in
the Soviet policy"

The scheme of American and British

PARIS, Oct. IA ASSOCIATED Press.)-
ton payments for Ave years-both on
cash payments and deliveries In kind
is the substance of the scheme presented
TO the PREPARATION Commission by Sir
John Bradbury. British member of the
commission, which the French Govern
ment has announced it considers quite
inadmissible.'
The aim of the plan is to restore
the mark to a value that would make
the balancing of the German budget
possible. Sir ohm favors entire -eor-
ganization of the commission with an
American as one of the active members
prd a change of the seat to Berlin.
The plan provides for the continuance
by Germany of deliveries in kind under
an arrangement by which the country
receiving the goods would guarantee an
equivalent sum in German bonds. the
Londs to be negotiable by Germany.
The proposals are:
Ffrst-To relieve the German budget
almost entirely of the cost of the charges
of the treaty of peace for two, and pos
sibly four, years, by enabling Germany
to obtain credits to cover the charges.
Second-To fix the exchange value of
the mark by an arrangement under
which the Reichsbank would sell them
for paper marks at a fixed price to be
determined by mixed commission.
Third-To reorganize the Preparations
Commission and transfer 1t to Berlin.
One object of the plan would be to
stop the further expansion of the float
ing debt and to obtain budget balance
either by complete suspension of cash
payments accompanied by the almost
complete suspension of deliveries in kind
for a considerable period. according to
Sir Johns opinion.
