Fever Prompts French People to
 Buy German Marks

Paris. Jan. o1.-Even the schoolboys of Paris now speculate in money of foreign countries.

 The third was to accomplish all that was possible to aid China in such ways as to help her in the establish ment of a free and independent gov ernment and particularly to secure the restoration of the great province of Shantung to the Chinese empire to which it rightfully belonged.
 we succeeded before the close of the conference in attaining all these objects. The treaty now before us terminates the Anglo-Japanese al Iiance. Personally I believe that it involves the United States in no ob- ligation except to meet with the other ,signatories and consult in case of any controversy arising or in case of az gression by some outside power not asignatory. I repeat that think the obligation to meet and consult is the only objection existing in this treaty, and the main purpose of the treaty is attained by the termination of the Anglo-Japanese alliance
 "Senators should bear in mind that the defeat of the four power treaty would endanger the treaty for the limitation of naval armament, and the failure, of the naval treaty would shock and start1e the world and bit terly disappoint the American people.
 ''We must not forget the close rela- ton between the two treaties. The defeat of the four power treaty would mean the failure of the conference. Let there be no illusion on that point.
 'HThe best hope of the world for a future where peace may prevail and wars diminish is in the people of the United States. If we fail who can conference. We proposed the treat ies, agreem ents and declarations in which the conference culminated. Are we now to stumble and fall at the thresh old?

Young Bulger
 Has Ear1narks
 of Big Leaguer

County Commissioner Joseph Hart has visions of developing another ball player of theecalibre of Babe Ruth, at Norwalk. The lad is William Bulger. who first attracted attention when the scribes, commissioners, and a few City hall faithful journeyed to the Norwalk home last summer, to dedicate the athletic field that Hart worked so long and hard to provide for the kids.
 Bulger pitched. He is only a little lad probably 13 years old but he has the earmarks of an all around ball player. He can hit. In fact after an avalanche of hits had been gleaned off the delivery of Jim Holt, it was discovered that Bulger was also a brainy. player. In fact, he was doing all the hitting. Every time he reached first base he put the coacher on the bag and sneaked around back of the backstop in time to bat again.
 Spring training will soon start at the home. As soon as the field is dry the boys will trot out with the balls and bats and start taking the kinks out of their arms and legs. Anyone afflicted with some discarded base ball equipment can find a ready and happy home for it at Norwalk. Any thing available along this line would be welcomed at the office of the County Commissioners in the County Court house building, where Hart IS doping out his lineup, and hop1ng he will have no hold-outs.
