 Palis, Nov. 21.--Lord crewe. the British ambassador, received instruc- tions from London this morning re- garding the note the allies are to send to Germany. 1t was then an- nounced that the council Of ambas- sadors would meet this afternoon.
 One little word--the word consult
 --is what has been delaying final ac- ton by the council on the note since Monday. it appears from today's de- fe.opments. The decision reached by the ambassadors on that day was that the note to Germany would set forth the allied demand that the mili- tary clauses Of the peace treaty be carried out and that if Germany failed to satisfy that demand the al- lies would consult" as to what action the situation called for.
 Objections to that word were raised in the French cabinet meeting Mon day afternoon. It was declared that the necessity thus imposed upon France to consult" her allies every time action was required was just what Germany was relying upon that no step forward would be made if after making the concession 10 the British government on the elimina- ton of any reference to penalties the hands Of the French government should still remain tied
 After consultation between Jules Cambon and Lord Grove on that point the British ambassador sug- gestcd another word 10 his govern ment which he though might satisfy London and at the same time would remove the objections Of the French cabinet It is understood the British accepted the modification. which amounts to tacit acceptance Of the French reservation Of the right to act separately if Germany's attitude should make action necessary.

FEET GROWING LARGER
Modern College Girl Has Larger pelaI Extrcmitics, Physical Education Instructor Declares.

Columbus, O.. Nov. 21.---The feet of the modern college girl are steadily increasing in size. according to Miss Lydia Clark, head Of tho womens de- pertinent of physical education at Ohio State university.
 Miss Clark claims that modern clothes and the great interest shown by the modern co-sd in outdoor ac- tivities are causes for the increase in size.
 Not only are their feet increasing in size, but statistics show that the in- crease is general. Figures from Vas sar. Smith and Leland Stanford show that the average weight of the col- lege woman has increased from 12S.s pounds to i25.S. and that the waist line has increased on an average of t.S inches, Miss Clark says.

Be Threatened.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 London, Nov. 21.-The British gov ernments final instructions to Lord Crewe. British ambassador at Paris. for handling the delicate situation which during the past week has threatened the existence of the en- tente were forwarded to Paris early today Foreign office officials ex- pressed the hope that definite and permanent beneficial results for the entente itself and for the entente's relations with Germany would be achieved by the meeting of the coun- ell of ambassadors in Paris this after noon.
 French Make Concessions
 The French willingness to meet the British half way on the terms of the allied note to be dispatched to Ger many is said here to have been the salvation of the situation, Premier Poincare having given way on three chief points,
 M. Poincare has assured the Brit ish that the ultimatum feature could be deleted from the German note; hti"N N''C iSieSot ioT lilt eApulsloH or the ex-crown Prince from Germany could be dropped, and that no definite penalties were to be threatened inn mediately.
 The British believe an allied note along these lines will enable the Ger man government to accept the situa- ton without endangering its posi- tlon.
 Whether Germany succeeds. as British spokesman put it today, in maintaining "her traditional role of playing the fool" remains to be seen when the moment comes for Berlin to reply to the allied communication.

new FIRE ENGINE GIVES
DEMONSTRATION HERE
Throws Streams OF Water Acros.
River Official Test To Be
Made Next Tuesday

The new fire engine arrived this
week. Ever since it came, it has been
in charge of mechanic from the
manufacturers, as it has not yet been
subjected to an official test, before it
is accepted or rejected by the town
authorities,
All who have seen it have pro-
nounced it beauty, and the firemen
have already fallen quite In love
with it.
An informal exhibition of the work
it can do was given on Thursday af-
ternoon, when it was taken to the
river for a little exercise. Streams,
SO it is reported, were projected into
the swamp, but that is not stated as
a result of actual measurement.
The official test will be given next
Tuesday afternoon; and while last
Thursday the performance was equal
to expectations, still it was not felt
that the machine was at its limit.
With this addition to Poeomoke's "a
fire fighting apparatus, the city should
now be prepared to deal successfully
with the majority of blazes that take
place,

UNINTENTIONAL INSULT
CAUSES MUCH TROUBLE
Excitement On Front Street Mon.
day Night Soon Quieted.- No
Arrests Made

Some excitement was occasioned
on the street Monday night, owing to
supposed insult hurled at several
men as they were passing along Mar
ket street ip a car. The offenders
were a party of innocent boys, who,
apparently were too much interested
in their play to know anybody else
was in town.
Vengeance was sought by the car
crowd, and when they were not able
t. wreak it, they substituted lot Of
loud profane language on the street.
This always draws crowd, and with
the crowd comes sympathizers of both
sides. A war of words issued, pas
SONS became inflamed, and the situa-
ton looked ugly for awhile.
There were no arrests made; and,
il is so reported, that when one of the
newly sworn in officers attempted to
take in an offender, he was opposed
by one Of the regular force, who OBJ
jected on the ground that "it would
start something" Tbs statement is
rot made here as coming from actual
knowledge of what occurred; but if
such did happen, then some one blum
dered.
From all accounts Git is difficult to
get a true and specific report of the
affair." somebody was disturbing the
peace, and violating other ordinances
of the town, and somebody should
have paid the penalty. The result of
the fracas has, on the face of it, the
appearance Of a derelictien Of duty
on the part of those responsible for
law, order, and decency on the streets.
There seems to be room for action
by those WHO have the government OF
Pocomke City in their hands, and no
kesitancy should ~be practiced in
reaching the bottom of any reason
for the failure of duty on the part OF
municipal officials. >s

Since Friday of last week POGO
moke has played four games of ball,
with record of three lost and one
won. The contests have all been
closely waged, and have been inter-
esting exhibitions of the national
pastime to all those who love sport
for sports sake; but to those who
can see nothing in game except a
resulting victory for the home team,
and gauge it's success by it's standing
in the percentage column, the last
week has been a disastrous one.
The Salamanders lost to Laurel at
home 9 to II; to Parksley abroad l
to s; and to Dover at home 0 to 3;
winning their only game from Parks
ley at home z to 6.
Their hitting, while not as timely
az could be desired, has been strong,
and it looks as if they were about as
formidable bunch as has represent
ed Pocomoke this season, but lack
! ing the punch to put through a win
This does not appear to. be because
the opposing team is so very much
+, stronger, but the home boys are not
getting the breaks.
Next week arrangements are made
for four games. They will take PLACE
at 10 o'clock in the morning. On
Tuesday, Laurel will be with us;
Wednesday, Salisbury; Thursday
Crisfield; and on Friday, Cambridge
These four teams are the ones which
fl rmed, with Parksley, the old East
ern Shore League; they are popular
and should draw well. The manage
ment would appreciate large pa
tronage, as they could easily find a
!, place to put the money.
