BOWERS BEACH

The farmers near town are busily
engaged in their farm work-planting
potatoes, sowing peas for the factor
les and getting their general work on
the farm done so as to be ready to be-
gin breaking the ground for their
corn and other crops. There is pros
pect ahead for a large acreage to be
set in tomatoes and sugar corn for
the factories this season, in this farm
ing district.
The fruit growers are hopeful and
optomistic that from the present ap-
pearance of their orchards that a
bumper crop is altogether probable.
The boats coming from New York
and Long Island here to buy oyster
plants have been a great help to our
local oystermen. The cuts in the bay
from the mouths of Murderkill and
Saint Jones rivers have afforded
thousands of bushels of young oys-
ters.. From fifteen hundred to two
thousand bushels at load have been
loaded, and received very good prices
for them. This has been great help
to the workers because they could
not have been doing much other work
at the time. Besides the government
will more than likely dredge those
cuts this season to improve the navi.
cation of the two rivers.
j The shad fishing has been so far
almost a failure at this place, as but
verv few have been caught, but the
fishermen are still hopeful that they
will come along later.
William H. Press and Francis Hhein
of Delaware City were here all of last
week, with their drift nets and tished
well down the bay, but with such poor
success that they loaded their nets
and traps on their boats and return
ed to their homes.
Short and Haldman who have stake
nets in the bay, captured sturgeon
on Monday of this week and quite
number of hardheads and other small
fish but no shad.
The three mile Of road leading
from town to the boulevard, am glad
to say, is in good condition for travel
once more and the outlook is favor
able for it to remain so, for the bal
ance of the season. So motorists need
have no more dread of contending
with this portion of road any longer
in coming to, or leaving the resort.
Sunday seem to be the day for the
ioy riders and people with their fam
lilies to visit here for few hours
even on last Sunday despite the cold
weather there were quite number
of cars came down with their loads
for short stay.
Saturday night there were great
number Of cars with loads Of people,
their object was the dance at the Bay
View Inn. There were even more peo-
pie here than was expected. But
those who came for the dance were
not in the least disappointed as every
thing for it was in order and the
merry dancers held sway until near
the midnight hour. A great feature OF

It erystallizes i'll simple and concrete terms the opinion of the civilized world that already ex- ists in order that hereafter no nation shall dare to do what was done when the women and children of the Lusi- tana went 10 their death by wanton murder on the high seas
 In completing a wonderful days work. the conference gave it's approval to resolutions relating to China. te be embodied in treaties, including decla- ration of the open door. publication of existing treaties, agreements and commitments with China. radio estab- lishmeutS in China. Chinese railways, withdrawal of foreign posteiiees, with drawal of foreign troops from Chi- nese territory, and reduction of Chi nese military forces in the interest of economy and internal tranquility. These treaties. not yet drafted, are to be reported to the next plenary ses- sion of the conference. which prob ably will be it's last.
 The question of reducing their land forces by one-half was presented 10 the governments of two nations. By one 1t was rejected. and the same ac- tion is expected in the other case. To the central executive committee of the Russian soviet government, Lenin proposed that the Russian army be cut in half, with n view to meeting the wishes of the United States. Leon Trotzky spoke Tn opposition and the committee rejected the plan In the Japanese diet the KokumintO party brought forward the same proposi- tion. The war office opposed it. hav- ing a plan Of It's own which contem- plates reductions in personnel and the strengthening of ariuaments and equip ment. The minister of war says the idea of halving the army is prepos- terous in view of the fact that the Russian army is still a million strong and can be transported easily with the restoration of the Trans-Siberan railway. II was considered that political reasons would prevent the adoption of the Kokuminto resolu- tion.
