Washington, March 2a-Thc two
arms conference treaties limiting the

slide of appreciation today by the
senate.
To the naval limitation covenant,
declaring a naval building holiday
and liking a ratio of capital ship
strength for the United States, Great
Britain. Japan, Franco and Italy. the
senate gave its final assent by a vote
of a to l and then almost without
debate it accepted. Il to 0, the pact
designed to prevent submarine opcr-
atoms against merchantmen and to
outlaw chemical warfare altogether.
No amendments or reservations were
proposed to either.
The only negative vote was ca st
against the treaty by Senator France
who said he regarded naval reduce
ton as dangerous cXpedient under
present world conditions.
Every other member of the "irre-

Over 50 Per Cent Now
---Minor Disorder
Only During Day

Lawrence. Mass. March 22--More
than so percent Of the number Of on
cratives normally employed in the
Lawrence textile mills were idle to-
night as a result OF the striko which
began on Monday. The numbers OF
strikers gained materially this morn
ing and during the day many left
their work to swell the crowds of idle
on the streets. !; was estimated that
1850 of the eo,GO0 normally employ
cd were idle tonight.
Only one minor dirordcr occurred
during the day and this was quickly
stopped by police. A woman picket
attacked a woman worker. with a
club but police interviewed and seri-
GUS trouble was averted.
The shutting down of the Everett
mills at noon today was regarded as
significant. officials of the mill post
cd notices that the mill had been
shut down indefinitely. Strike lead
ers claimed that the small number OF
operatives appearing for work had
crippled every department so that it
was impossible to keep running. The
Everett mills normally employ 1900
operatives.
The katama and Pemberton mills,
were reported also to have shut down
but this was denied by officials. Both

W|SCASSEi BRIDGE
OPEN FOR TRAFFIC
THIS MORNING

The State Highway commission
has received word from Contractor
f. w. Carton OF Bath. who has been
rebuilding the Wiscasset bridge, that
beginning Thursday morning. Mar.
80 the bridge will be in condition
for ira ffic to pass by exercising a lit
tie caution. at the ends of tie draw
where the only work remaining to be
done is the erection of short sections
of guard rail.
While the contract for this work
was let in the early fall. considera bic
delay was experienced in the re-
ceipt Of a cargo of long leaf yellow
pine, which the commission specified
TO be used for new caps, strinscrs
and planking for this structure. The
cargo arrived in Wiscasset on Jan.
II and since that date the bridge has
been completely rebuilt. While do
ing this work in the winter has i'm
posed a hardship on the contractor
and on the men employed on the
work. it has been the most fortunate
time for prosecuting the work so far
as the travelling public is concerned.
There has been practically no inter-
ference with travel.
In anticipation that tie bridge
would be closed about oct. i. the
commission in cooperation with the
towns of Alma and Newcastle had
done considerable work on a detour
read to carry traffic by this bridge
over the Sheepscot bridge between
Alma and Newcastle. but on account
of conditions above stated ii has not
been necessary to Use the detour cX-
ccpt for team traffic.
Some adverse comment has been
heard relative TO the planking of the
300 or 400 feet of the bridge on the
EDGE comb end. The public should
understand that in letting the con-
tract for this work the commission
provided that all timber taken out
of the bridge which could be sal
vased should he used for plankins.
A price was arranged in the contract
for doing this work. About 10000
feet board measure of yellow pine
taken from the old strinGers was thus
saved and put into the rebuilding
work. This item of work cost the
taxpayers $40 per thousand feet
board measure. as against S6S per
thousand, the price for new plank
laid The commission handled this
item OF the work as they do all items
of work under their supervision.
namely. they plan to get the most for
a dollar that is possible.
1t is also interesting to note that
the appropriation asked for by the
Highway commission for doing this
work was reduced SlOWO by the
legislature and before the contract
could be let it was necessary to ask
tho Governor and Council for an adj
ditional S1OOOD, which was furnished
from the STATE contingent fund. Had
tie bridge been entirely planked
with new material. it would have
been necessary TO have asked for sew
cral thousand dollars additional.

Says College
Students Morals
Better Than Average

Pawtucket, K. L., March 29.-Moral-
ity among college students is higher
than in any other group of cores
bonding numbers, Utev. Warren i.
Sheldon of New York, a secretary Of
the Methodist Educational Board,
told the New England Southern Con-
ference of the church tonight. HIS
conclusion was reached, he Said af-
ter an extensive investigation Of
moral conditions in more than hun
dred private and state universities.
A great deal has been said about
the present low moral standard Of
college students today" said DR..
sheldon, but investigation does not
confirm the general impression. We
have been impressed with the high
moral standard of college students
after investigation of this very thing.
Two or three rowdy students attract
more attention and make more noise
than five hundred quiet, diIigent men
about them. There is a small per-
centage Of young men in every col
lege who lye riotous lives and often
give the whole college student class
Dau name.
Il do not mean to imply that coll
lege dormitories are glowing ex
amplos of rectitude," he said, ''foi
single men living in barracks do not
naturally grow into plaSted saints
My contention is that the moral
standard of any representative group
of college men is higher than a COR
line fro
any other field of activity. There !.
a certain sense of independence. free
and easy manner and modes of dress
but the moral side of these young
men will stand investiga ton. The
fact that the college today is in the
limclisht makes a great difference"
BtA II we We're TO turn the spotlight
on other groups of young men in
other callngs we would then come to
appreciate the high moral standard OF
college students.
The spirit of lawleSSness which he
asserted has spread over the coun-
try was attributed to the attitude OF
well to do people toward the Vol
! stead act by Judge Robert +. Ray
mond of the Superior court of Mas.
sachusetts in an address before tho
! conference. He scored wealthy
people who complained when the
laws were broken by thieves break
! ing into their homes and stealing
their valuables, but who were Civ.
/ ing an example of Law breaking by
violations of the liquor laws.
At an executive session this after.
/ room the resignation from the con.
ference of the Rev. G. r. MOssmar
Of BrocktOn, Mass. was accepted. !
was stated that charges had beer
preferred against the Brockton min
| lister but that he resigned before
they were read. He was said to have
announced his intention Of entering
another denomination.
