SONG BOOSTERS COMING

The Legion Carnival at River Falls
Friday and Saturday, April 2s-2e,
will bring a number of "song boos-
tersn from the leading music pub
fishing houses. There will be soloists
as well as quartettes and trios, ano
the songs they sing win be the very
best selections from the most up-to-
date musical comedy and vaudeville
hits.
This will give musicians Of this
community an opportunity to hear
and choose from the songs that are
making the latest sensations on tho
metropolitan stage.
This is but one of the many feat
ures which the postponement of ths
Carnival to the latter part of April
has made possible. Other features
which the rostponement gives oppor-
tunity to add are some outdoor at
ractions-Fe1ris wheel, Merry-go-
Round, trapeze performance, ano
magician stunts which are planned
for the pavement in front of the
building or a vacant lot nearby.
Many people did not feel like buy
ing Carnival tickets for the earlier
date, fearing that the weather and
roads would make it impossible to at
tend, but the new date, April 1929
assures open roads for autoing and
everyone within driving distance is
now planning to attend.

Rod and Gun Club
Annual Banquet

The River Falls Rod q Gun Club
held its seve nth annual banquet in
Foresters' hall last Wednesday eve
ming. The annual banquet Of this or
ganization has become an institution
in River Falls which is locked for
ward to by all sportsmen as well as
by many who are not especially IN
terested in the sports of hunting and
fishing. The seventh banquet was
the most pretentious and best ac-
tended of any that have been held.
The hall was beautifully decorated
with pine boughs and mounted speci-
mems Of birds, animals and fish.
All. Hawkins orchestra furnished
music during, the dinner and between
the other numbers of the program.
The Normal School Male Quartet
rendered several numbers, which we're
very well received Miss Nina Col
well was heartily appfauded for her
two vocal solos. Neil Reed sang a
song composed by himself for the
occasion, and was given hearty
hand.
Professor w. H. Hunt officiated as
POSTMASTER, and carried off the
duties of that position in very ex-
cellent manner. Professor "Ole'
Dawson, in his inimitable style, gave
a life history Of Judge oscar Pet
ler" Knowles, from the time he was
"borned or the rocky coast of Nor
way" to the present, including his
valient services for "five years JAM
tor of the fremont Judge Know
les responded by acknowledging that
all the nice things that Prof. Davi-
son had said about him were true,
and announced that he was asking
the support of all present in his cam
didacy for Member of Congress. The
Judge, in his Swede dialect, based his
plea for support upon the fact that
he had received, unasked for, at the
end of four years, raise of 81 q
week. This, together with five years
service as game warden, entitled the
Judge, so he admitted, to seat in
Congress.
Gilbert Anderson, a student at the
Normal school, gave highly APP
preciated character sketch.
Then followed the presentation to
Mr.. w. e. Barber by DR.. C. A. Daw-
son of the six pound, fifteen ounce
brown trout, mounted by the Rod &
Gun Club. Mr.. Barber responded and
gave masterful talk on the value
Of our wild life ard the means Wis
consin is taking to conserve it. This
is the fourth time that Mr.. Barber
has attended the annual banquet OF
the club as a guest and speaker, and
the members have come to feel that
it would be impossible to successfully
hold this annual affair without his
presence.
On account of lack of seating cap
acity it was necessary that several
should be fed at a second table. This
difficulty will be obviated next year
as arrangements have already beer
made for holding the 1923 banquet in
the Armory.

The dispute over Bessarabia which has
entered into the economic conference dis
cussions was taken up to-day by Chris
tian Rakovsly OF the Soviet delegation,
who replied to the statements of Foreign
Minister Diamandy of Rumania.
According TO Rakovsky, the question
to-day IL whether the people OF Bessa-
rabia wish to join Rumania. The Bessa-
rabian peasants. he pointed out. held a
congress In Kishineff in 1918 during
which hostility was expressed for Ru-
mania, which had occupied Bessarabia
under the guarantee OF the Entente
(which we possess in writing. that the
application was only provisory." In ad-
dition Rumania, Rakovsky said. had
concluded In March, 1918, n treaty with
Russia promising to evacuate Bessnrabia
within two months.
Russia, declared RakovsSy. favored
self differentiation for the Bessarabian
people. and IL In a plebiscitc properly
and freely organized the Bcssarabians
showed their desAe to join Rumania the
decision would be readily acquiesced in
by Russia.

Paris, April IA.
The Preparations Commissions reply
to tho German mon possumus" note
concerning additional taxation and ac-
cepting allied control of German fiscal
and administrative arrangements though
firm is SO notably moderate in tone as
to give the impression that 1t is intended
TO be provisional while awaiting events
in Genoa.
Its most salient feature Is that IL the
German Government will withdraw its
challenge OF the commissions right to
impose III decisions the commission Is
ready to Grc,nine practicable suggestions
which mat be forwarded by the German
Government for meeting the difficulties.
THE new York HERALD correspondent
has good reason to believe that this is
not unconnected with negotiations which
presently will take place between gov
ernments with the view OF settling pos
sible disagreements that have arisen be-
cause OF the German attitude and that
advantage will be taken OF the presence
of all concerned at Genoa.
Mr. Lloyd George Is known to be
anxious TO lose no time to present debt
and reparation solution while at the
Same time not jeopardizing the Genoa
porgram. A chance meeting" Of the
entire body OF European financial ex-
perts at Genoa might be able to suggest
a way out OF the present deadlock. which
achievement would be gre ted with un-
feigned relief both in Paris and London.

GENOA, April IA ten year truce
maintained merely by moral and eco
nomic sanctions is not enough. The good
idea must not be spoiled"
This opinion by DR.. Eduard Benes,
Premier OF Czecho-Slovakia, expresses
one of the fundamental difficulties which
threaten the success of the Genoa con-
ference. The Little Entente" is al
ready lined up to demand that IL truce
is entered into 1t must have the guar
anty OF che united force OF Europe be-
hind it. The ten year truce Is Premier
Lloyd Georges plan. Together with
solution OF the Russian question IT viii
be all he hopes to have accomplished
at Genoa.
But It is his idea that the power of
the moral obligation assumed before the
world plus the application of economic
pressure is all the guaranty that the pact
needs. The idea is 1t is an application
to Europe of an agreement OF the nature
of the four Power treaty. With IT in
power Mr.. Lloyd George believes that
Europe will be ready 20 apply itself
seriously TO the Limitation of armament
which it is assumed would come up AT
the autumn meeting OF the League OF
Nations.
But IL Is well known, particularly to
the leaders of the Little Entente" that
the delegates to the Genoa conference
are not authorized to enter into more
than moral peace agreement and GER
tainly not into a military covenant
similar to Article X. OF the League of
not to have Germany and Russia be-
hind it Mr.. Lloyd Georges truce stands
small likelihood OF surviving the confer
encc.
DR.. Benes said emphatically that he
favored a truce. but "only truce taken
seriously, very seriously A moral sane
ton is spoken of. Yes that Is worth
something. And an economic sanction is
spoken of. That is worth something. too
But are they enough? Poland waged
war on Russia and che world said moth
Ing. The moral sanction was imperative
in that case.
what IL Russia, who Rakowsky adj
mitted yesterday, has an army OF 50O,-
900 Red soldiers, made war on Rumania?
She already regards Rumania as oc-
cupying a Russian province as we learn
from Tchitcherin. What reason have
We TO expect the WOTIu 10 10 any ehins
even in the event of such war? Would
economic sanctions have any vitality In
operating against Russia who has been
the victim OF economic sanctions for
four years now?"
DR.. Benes called attention to the diff
Guilty in which he as Premier would find
himself IL he entered pact without
military sanctions, saying: If l asked
my Parliament to limit ornaments on
the basis of such q pact, and we subse-
uuently were attacked by state not
abiding by this promise, would be re-
sponsible for my country's weakness.
Statesmen cannot subject their country
to risks like that"

FARLEY A SUCCESS
IF IT DOES NO HARM
Wickhar1 Steed Comments on
Trend at Genoa.

In dispatch to the London Times
wiclSham Steed, editor OF tho paper,
quotes a European statesman, "who
since 1t was decided at Cannes to hold
the Genoa conference has worked in
defatigably to assure its success" as
exclaiming yesterday: "CAnnJt some
body write a true history OF this con-
ference? Cannot some critic show Its
absurdiries? The further VIC proceed
with it the more absurd 1t gets
Mr.. Steed comments that notwith-
standing his respect for the eminent
statesman quoted he finds 1t impossible
to accept that conclusion and does not
think 1t opportune to write critical
history Of the conference mt this juno
ture. The conference, in his opinion.
should be counted a success II 1t leaves
the European situation no worse than
before.
Referring to the reported plan OF
Prime Minister Lloyd George 10 propose
military holiday. Mr.. Stee1 discusses
It in connection with the Cannes resolu-
ton that all countries refrain from
aggression against their neighbors, and
asserts that attempts to give practical
value to the resolution must take into
account that 1t is supernuous IN so far
as Il merely duplicates Article y. OF the
covenant of the League of Nations.
Commenting on the Russian opposition
TO the London experts report. he says:
The proposal regarding Russian
courts and the application of foreign
law obviously is Incompatible with So
Wet Jurisprudence. which Is based en-
tirely on new principles. Since there Is
not vet any definite Bolsheyist civil or
penal code. the Bolsheyist courts. guided
by what Is known as a revolutionary
conscience discriminate in favor of
the accused. provided they can prove
'proletarlan origin or services rendered
during the revolution
ITO ask the Bolshevists TO renounce
the advantage conferred by this system
of Jurisprudence is, obviously, unfair
yet. unless 1t is renowned. the confer
ence may find itself on the hSrns OF n
dilemma. or. at least. moving in a
vicious circle.
