 CANNOT STAY ALONE
British Statesman Puts in Plea
 for League of Nations

New York, April 3.--Lord Robert Cecil, English statesman and protag- onist of the league of nations, in his first formal address in America told 5000 persons at dinner of the for eign policy association last night that America could not afford to stay out of the league of nations. The league has already done meritorious work and will continue to do so he said.
 America should ask herself. he said if she could not avoid the most terri ble of all entanglements in Europe the war-can she afford to stand aloof from the scheme that promises more than any other toHprevent the outbreak of war.
 Other outstanding points in his ad- dress included these:
 International fear and suspicion are the basic evils responsible for the madness of war.
 In their places must be substituted the force of persuasion and public opinion.
 Disarmament cannot come until it is general and that it cannot be gen eral until nations agree to help their neighbors if they are attacked.
 No nation can build Chinese wall around it's frontiers and exclude the other nations of the world.
 The league of nations has been ac- cepted by 52 nations as the best means of substituting persuasion for armed force.

ID SEEK DATA ON
 STANDARD SCHOOL Appoint Subcommittee to Secure Estimate of Construction Cost

Two subcommittee will be ap- pointed, according to former Mayor George A. Quigley, who last evening was elected chairman of the commit tee on school accommodations, re- gently appointed by Mayor Angelo M. Paonessa. One committee will secure plans, estimates and other informa- ton relating to a possible standard school building in the city. Sketches on 1,, IS and 24-room buildings will be secured.
 The other committee will study conditions in schools in general. The members will be appointed within the next few days.
 Fred o. Rackiiffe was made secre- tary of the general committee. Be- sides the mayor and Messrs. Quigley and Rackliffe, those present were Senator Edward F. Hall, chairman of the finance board; l.. T. Shipps. Harry P. Smith, Councilman Maxwell s. Porter and Building Inspector Israel Wexler.
 Quigley Secs Chance for Economy.
 Chairman Quigley stated that the COUlUiiLlCC Woulu WOI III iioii with the school board but that if more buildings can be erected at less expense and if present locations are not satisfactory the city meeting board should know it. He suggested a census of school children. He said thousands of dollars cor'ld be saved on, the new Washington scnool by changing the construction.
 Councilman Porter stated this that it was not the intention of the committee t5 interfere with the educational system whatever.
 Statement By Mayor
 The following statement was made by Mayor Paonessa:
 Gentlemen of the committee:
 Tn order to fully appreciate the situation which has caused your ex- istence as a committee, it is necessary that you should have an explanation and a short recital of the events which led up to this situation.
 There are three outstanding fea- lures, all of which are worthy of con- 
 "In the first place, there was a understanding between the chairman of the school accommoda-
New Britain herald., 1923-04-03

that the French had occupied the garage merely because they wanted to seize Ave automobiles.
 The Ruhr correspondent of the Tageblatt expresses tho opinion that the French used the Krupp oeeupa- ton as a means of testing what is tho present attitude of Ruhr labor gener- ally against the occupying forces.
 Reports from Elberfeld state that Mosignor Testa the envoy in the Ruhr from the Vatican held three hour conference there with the presidents of Westphalia and Duesseldorf. .anG that the manner in which tho Franco German differences may be settled was among the questions discussed.
 It is stated that Monsignor Testa intends. to remain in the Ruhr fort night. 8LS~

verdi Wounded in Outbreak
 Expected to Die

Berlin. April 3. (I3y Associated Hresy) .--Columns of protests and de- nials in connection with the .shootings at the Krupp plant in Essen last Sat urday are printed in today's Berlin newspapers. Eg.
 Special dispatches from the Ruhr stoutly maintain that the workers did nothing which warranted the French shooting and that the factory man agemcnt was innocent of any agita- ton of the laborers such as would justify the arrest yesterday Of four of the Krupp directors.
 Other Deaths Expected.
 The death roll remains at II, but it is semi officially stated that several deaths probably will occur among the 19 seriously wounded who with II others arc still in the hospitals.
 The charge made by the French that the soldiers were attacked with jets Of steam is declaJed to be based apparently on the fact that a cer- tain amount of steam driftcd into the occupied garage from locomotive whistles which were being blown i'm mediateiy behind the building. The claim that the workmen were armed with revoivers is unanimously denied the correspondents reported that the laborers had not even as much as a stick in their hands.
 Was Misunderstanding.
 The excitement occasioned among the workers by the occupation of the garage is explained as largely due tc the fact that this building housed spe. cial types of automobiles among which were the cars used in trans- porting the money for the mems wages. It is asserted here that none of the Germans knew until afterward

Right to Search Automobiles May Be

Louisville, Ky, April 3.-Conflict- ing opinions from federal judges re- garding search of automobiles for evidence of prohibition law violation obtain in this state today.
 Judge A. J.

Hope is held in official circles that Washington head quarters may bring the question to the supreme court.

 ized bond money would be spent in the next two years. had implicit faith In Mr. Goodwin and had be re-
 mained on the school board I would
 never have asked for reconsidera-
 ton of the bond issue We are very unfortunate that Mir. Goodwin's s health would not permit him to con- tinue. When. he resigned there was, of course. no assurance that the ex- penditnre of money would be limited.
 "The next phase of the situation concerns another member of the school accommodations committee.
 Shortly after pr. Martin resigned
 Mir. Kilbourne came to my office and
 urged me very strongly to call a special meeting of the common coun- cil in order to fill the vacancy. He gave as his reason the fact that the school accommodations committee were about to buy some land which
 was worthless for school purposes. Instead of calling the council to- gether I wrote letter to the school board asking them to refrain from buying, not only the land objected to by Mr. Kilbourne. but also any other land, until a survey could be made of the situation. My course did not meet with the approval I had anticipated for, at the next meeting of the school board MT. Kilbourne angrily declared that the school board owed no allegiance to the mayor and moved that the letter be tabled. So you may see. gentle- men, that did not have complete confidence that the large bond issue of six hundred and twenty-five thou sand dollars was in the best of hands.
 Finally there is the general aspect of our school policy. Please do not misunderstood me. I am in favor of schools and more schools. That is the very reason why I believe that we should get more school accom- modations for the enormous amount of money we are spending. Perhaps more than any of you I feel the need of education. have been embar- rassed so many times by the lack of it that am resolved to do all in my power to save the rising genera tion from the same embarrassment
 If money could be saved, and it can be, on the schoors which we are now contemplating it would simply mean that we could have more schools. Tn short, gentlemen, do not object to spending money for school purposes, but do want to see greater, and more practical results from the money expended"

There never was such a riot of dec- orative gloves and shoes and stock ings as the spring shop windows are showing.
 Shoes are of blue and red and green kidskin or at least are trimmed with these colors. Elaborately cut-away sandals are made of Paisley silks and stiff brocades. Even the walking shoe that was wont to be so conservative is made of two feathers combined.

Colonial pumps are going out for smart wear. The newest shoes are slippers-slippers so open that there Is little leather left to them. They are extrayagantly ornamental and im- practical. So, of course, we shall all wear them.
 Stockings must match the shoes in gaiety. One large firm is showing 30 different shades in all their spring styles. Light stockings haven't lost a jot of their popularity for street wear. Sand and gray and nude are

expected to flash beneath longer skirts with the same effect as when skirts were knee high.
 Giddy gloves are the proper thing, too. Gauntlet gloves are especially good since the long tight sleeve has come back. These gauntlet gloves have cuffs of checkerboard pattern, embroidery, ruffles or godets.
 Emphatically, the accessories of dress are of prime importance this season. It's due, O. course, to the simplicity of style lines.

After an absence of two years,
the offices of the Globe Grain and
Milling Company will once more be
in FL Centre, decision having been
made to move the offices from
Brawlcy back to FL Centre, the
change becoming effective on Feb
rIary |. The offices will be located
rs before, in the warehouse building
Ct the company on Main street. The
quarters formerly occupied in Draw
lev have been leased to the Imperial
Irrigation District.
The change from FL Centre to
Erawlcv was made originally be-
cause the grain business seemed to
ne on q larger scale in Brawlcy than
in the southern section of the val
ley; however, the increased interest
in vegetable acreage in Brawley led
to Il falling off in the grain activ-
tiles and the company now believes
that its business can be handled to
best advantage from FL Centio.
