THE TREATY'S SCOPE

The four-power Pacific treaty accomplished several things. It ends the Anglo Japanese alliance and thus pleases not only this country, but Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. To have terminated this dual compact without offense to either Japan or Great Britain is a diplomatic achievement of great importance.
 J. The treaty also stablizes the situation in the Far East, so far as the island possessions of the signatories are concerned It only indirect ly deals with China for China is a mainland Asiatc power Yet it must help in promoting other Far Eastern settlements in which China is concerned The four power treaty and the Root resolutions, also adopted by the confer ence, are the basis for a concert concerning eastern Asia and in the Pacific area generally which will remove most of the causes of in ternational dissension and friction there
 These are the immediate contributions to world peace which the Washington conference has made It is making other contributions. The four-power treaty embodies the principle of friendly cooperation among the great powers and demonstrates that America is ready as she always has been, to accept the obligations entailcd by common international action method of approach. America has stood for self-denying compacts That is the policy we have always pursued in the Far East It under lies the Hay and Root doctrines. The confer ence has returned to it. while rejecting the inn piled commitment to war which Mir. Wilson wrote into the league of nations covenant In case of serious disagreement there is no pledge to follow course prescribed in advance. De- cision is left open.

AN AGREEMENT TO CONFER

Certain French papers profess to a change of American policy in the Four-power Treaty negotiated at Washington. Apparent ly their wish is father to the thought, and has led them to detect that which does not exist in fact. One may search every paragraph and every sentence of that treaty for single deviation from the policies that have gov erned the international relations of this coun- try from the beginning. We have always been earnest advocates of arbitration of interna- tonal disputes, and the United States is a party to a score or more of arbitration treaties with various nations
 Article II of the Treaty is nothing more or less. than an agreement to confer with cer- tain other nations if certain circumstances should arise sin the future. It binds us to no action whatever and is far removed from the intent and purpose of Article X of the cove nant of the League of Nations, despite the readiness with which some pro-leaguers are trying to see a similarity between them. On numerous occasions in the past the United States has conferred with other nations as to the best means for dealing with menacing foe. In the Revolution, the conflict with the Barbary Pirates, the Boxer uprising, and the World war, we conferred with other nations Vas to the most efficient measures to be taken to meet the exigencies of the particular situa- tion.'' In those conferences we were not pre- viously obligated to follow any particular course, neither will we be obliged to take any specific action in future conference.
 Under the league covenant the case was far different. That document bristles with agree ments as to what member nation must do under certain conditions Economic and mili- tary pressure must be applied whether the

A bill has been introduced into the Italian Chamber of Deputies to make the constitution of the League of Nations more harmonious with the aims of democracy" If any nation undertakes to do that, it accepts big contract. The whole league covenant is based on the idea that member states shall surrender their sovereignty to a super government, which may then order them about, even to the extent of directing them to wage war on one another Democracy is nowhere to be found in the covenant, and the only way to attain it in the league is to scrap the covenant and write {; new one.

One thing we know. British exchange on December II jumped 10 cents to $4.24M, a rise of more than $1 since February, 1920. That may be due in part to speculation and in part to improved prospects of peace, but prob ably it is due chiefly to the sound policies and improved commercial outlook of Great Brit ain. The one days rise of 10 cents the pound sterling is sufficient to pay the an- nual interest on Britains debt to America. The rise of $1 in less than two years is enough to pay the entire debt. It seems req sonable to suggest, therefore, that Britain, at least pay her interest and retire her debt.-- Chicago Tribune.

Directing Men at
Blaze

The fire department was called
for the second time today at LOO
p. m, to % Concord Avenue. to
put out a chimney fire. Fire chief
John McGill, who was at his home
at lunch, heard the siren of chem
ical truck as it came, and rushed
out to catch it.
He graSped the side of the truck
as it passed him and attempted to
swing on but slipped in the soft
snow and fell, the wheel of the
truck passing over his right leg be-
tween the knee and the body. In
spite of his injury, McGill climbed
on the truck and continued to the
fire, where he pluckily directed the
action of the fire fighters.
Immediately after the fire was
extinguished he was taken to the
Fitch hospital, where it was found
that he was suffering from multi
pie bruises, and it is feared that
there is a severe fracture of the
limb. An X-ray picture of the in
jured member will be taken this

SAYS HE USED
BAD CHECKS TO
PURCHASE CAR
Hold C. o. Cummings In
Jail Here for Burling-
ton Officer

C. O. Cummings. who gave his
home as anywhere, and his last
residence as Burlington, was lodg-
, ed in Caledonia County Jail Sat
urday afternoon by Sheriff w. H.
Worthen after he had attempted
to trade at the Corner Garage, a
car which he is alleged to have
purchased in Burlington for a
worthless check.
Cummings camL along to the
Corner Garage with a Ford Sedan
and attempted to make trade
with manager w. A. Wright. Mr.
Wright, fearing that there was
something under the exterior OF
the story, got in touch with parties
in Burlington who told him that
the check given in payment fol
the car had not returned. Connect
ing with Chelsea bank it was
found that no man answering to
that name had an account at that
bank. Sheriff Worthen was noti-
fled and took Cummings to the jail
where he confessed.
He said he purchased the car
from a man in Burlington by the
name of Bissonette, and give him
check for $3.50.
Cummings gave his age as q
and asserted that he had no partic-
ular home, and by trade he was
a motor mechanic. He is being
held here pending arrival of Chit
tenden County officials, who will
take him back to Burlington to

Interesting Developments

Friday was Farm Bureau dav

Mclndoes is like the maiden lady
who was proposed to by telephone
She had been well brought up, was
OF good family and connections
and had settled down to useful
life of single blessedness when she
was surprised by an offer of mar
mage. She was so surprised at the
sudden proposition that before she
could collect herself enough to ac-
cept, the fellow who had made the
offer discovered that he had been
given "the wrong number" and
that he had been proposing to the
wrong woman, at least not the one
intended.
Mclndoes Falls has had an hon

schools and stores and commodious
homes all show this. She was GO

the county and state and destined
to continue to do so, when all of
a sudden, few years ago, a pro-
posal was made that looked like a
real boom to the whole region
round about. Properties advanced
in value marvclously overnight and
farms and village homes changed

The funds were being trans
ferred from the mint to the local
federal reserve bank. The robbers
seized the gold and sprang into a
large autombile. AS their car
sped away, armed guards inside
the mint building fired from the
windows of the mint at the rob-
bers. The entire Denver police
force quickly was called into action
in an effort to apprehend the rob-
bers.
While the robbery was going on
according to witnesses a second au-
tomobile loaded with masked men
armed with shotguns and rifles
stood 20 feet from the bandit car
apparently ready to give aid

GETS CUSTODY
OF 9-YEAR-OLD
SON, NIELS, JR.
Sens ational Suit
of Sculptress
Closes
(By the Associated Press)
PORTLAND, Me-, Dec. 18

Mrs. Madeline masters Gron
Of this city, formerly of Chi
cago and New York, was
granted a divorce from Neils R..
Gron, Danish diplomat and New
York clubman, by Judge Sanbon
in the Superior court today. Mrs.
Gron was given the custody of
their 9 year old son Niels, Jr.
The mothers custody of the son
was made conditional by Judge
Sanborn. She must keep him with
her, resident within the jurisdic-
ton of the court for at least nine
months of each year. Whether an
appeal from the decision will be
taken by Gron's attorneys, will not
be decided until later.
When the case was finished on
Saturday Mrs. Gron walked out of
the court room declaring: Thank
God, never shall | have to see his
face again" referring to her Dan
ish diplomat husband. Her counsel
had branded Gron as "a coward, a
cad, and traitor to America in
the war, who should have been TAX
en- out and beaten"
Gron who was the last witness
for the defense wept openly as he
pleaded for the custody of his
child now with Mrs. Gron. His
huge frame shook as he related he
had written the famous 17-point
letter to his wife, containing
amazing charges, "just as one of
my means in trying to get my
child back" after he said, the
mother had kidnapped him.
He also launched into a TRADE
against his wife. "The woman |
met at Rouen, married and lived
with for two years is an utterly
different woman in the last three
years." he roared. "She was a won
derfully beautiful woman then, a
lovable and devoted wife and
mother"
