OF recognizes with satisfaction the
progressive fulfillment Of the obliga-
tons incurred under the Washing
ton treaties"
1 The conference, while affirming
the principle of the three mile limit
thought 1t desirable and practical to
meet the American request "for the
conclusion Of an experimental agree
ment.
A special committee examined the
question Of negotiating treaties while
its report does not directly affirm the
rights of the dominions to make
treaties independently it lays down
the following principles
! 1T Is desirable that no treaty
: should be negotiated by any of the
governments of the empire without
due consideration of it's possible eff
feet on other parts of the empire,
or the empire as a whole"
I The committee also says that be-
fore any steps are taken for con-
Guiding a treaty, and other part of
the empire likely to be interested is
, to be informed.
The conference resolved that treat
les negotiated at international con-
I ferences should be signed by repre-
| sentatives of all the governments of
the empire represented at the con-
| ference, as was done at Paris and
| Washington.

Fine Program Baked Bean
Social Sidney Pond Road

The Washington school on the Sid
new Pond road was the scene of a
baked bean social Friday evening,
with over 125 people in attendance.
The affair was managed by the Hard
ing and Washington grammar
schools who furnished a pleasing en-
tertainment after the supper. Super
intendent Of schools, John A. Tapley
and wife of Oakland were among the
supepr guests. After the tables had
been cleared "grab-bag" was pro-
duced and many anxious customers
made happy by their investment.
The pupils of both schools then gave
Rotations and dialogues that were
both credit to themselves and their
teachers, Mrs. Annie Davis and Mrs.
Angelina Sawtelle. A few delightful
selections on Victrola furnished by
Eugene Cowan were enjoyed between
the Rotations. Following this part
Of the program a few of the older
people were called upon to speak.
George Austin delivered an Grafton
and Theodore w. Longley ST., and
Delton Weeks spoke to the children,
complimenting them for their fine
entertainment and impressing upon
them the fact that they would be
called upon in a few years to take
up the work of their fathers and
mothers, and urging them to prepare
themselves in the best way for this
responsible task. William Cowan
and Percy French each told several
jokes that brought hearty laugh
from the audience. At the close a
cracker race was held, the partici-
pants Of which were lined out in the
front before all. Needless to say this
feature of the evening was highly
amusing for the onlookers but from
the various grimaces and facial con-
tortions of the racers" while hasti-
ly devouring their "Biscuit(?)" it
must have been rather painful. Ken
meth Keene and Manson Cowan were
winners of the prizes.
Although much credit for the sue
cess Of the social is due the pupils
and their teachers, it is also due to
the fine cooperation of the neigh
bors in both district No. 8 and No. 10.
A neat sum of money was realized
from the sale of supper tickets. and
IN both schools will be used towards
Inc purchase of photograph.
The pupils taking part in the pro-
gram were as follows: Harding
school; Rebecca Bailey, Lewis and
Lloyd Tilton, Henry, Alvah, Erland
and Carolyn Goodhue, Carl and Ber-
nard Bacon, Robert and Dora Ellis,
sydney Longley and Clyde Bracket:

London, Nov. II (By A. P.)-The
members of the imperial conference
winch has been in session here ap-
parently were in favor of a confer
ence on the' question of Germany's
capacity to pay reparations without
France, if the plans for the proposed
conference with France included
should break down.
rms was brought out in the official
summary of the imperial conference
publlshed today The summary con-
talns numerous resolutions adopted
anu sketches of thet proceedings.
Under the reading of "foreign af-
1alrs appears the following:
1T was while the conference was
sitting that the president of the
Ohlted States government to take
part IN an international conference
or inquiry to investigate the Euro
pean PREPARATION problem and to re-
port upon the capacity of Germany
10 make payments to which she is
pledged.
Ihe conference cordially welcom-
ed and decided to take immediate
advantage of this overture, and COM
inunlcatlons were at once entered
viii IIO dlllSU powers 10 OBTAIN
their cooperation.
The conference, after careful con-
sideration of the policies which had
Deen pursued, was of the opinion
that the European situations could
only be lifted onto a plan of possible
settlement by the cooperation of the
united States and that if the scheme
OF a common inquiry to be followed
py common action were to break
down the results would be ininiical
both to peace and to the economic
recovery of the world"
The following significant passage
followed:
ut is felt that in such an event
1t would be desirable for the British
government to consider very care
fully the alternative. of summoning
conference Itself, in order to ex-
anime the financial and economic
problem in its widest aspect"
Continuing the summary said:
THE conference, so much Of whose
time was occupied two years ago
with the question of a renewal OF the
alliance, noted with
satisfaction the results of the Wash
ington conference, which added i'm
mensely to the security OF the world
without disturbing the intimate rela-
lions that have, so long existed be-
tween the empire and it's former ally.

Gets Damages {
for Broken Bike
in Municipal Court

Two cases came up before Judge
Atchley in the Waterville municipal
court Saturday morning. The first
was that Of George Byron Leighton.
13 years old, against Carl Robins.
Leighton's case was presented by his
mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Leighton. 1t
was claimed that on July 4, Robins,
with Gordon Berry, drove a car down
Silver street and stopped in front of
Wheeler's candy store. While they
were in the store getting a drink the
Leighton boy rode up on a bicycle
and left it standing at the curbing.
The plaintiff claimed that Robins and
Berry came out of the store and
starting the car broke the bicycle.
The wheel, he said. cost $35. The
boy testified for himself. His moth
Ell said that she saw the broken
wheel. Mrs. Wheeler who was in
the store at the time testified that she
heard crash as the car started.
Herbert M. Baech saw the broken
wheel and said that it would cost
O10.50 to repair it. Z. f. Peacock
appeared for the plaintiff, and Jo-
seph L. Clark was attorney for the
defense. The plaintiff was awarded
damages Of $1,000 and costs.
The second case was that Of J. H.
Nickerson against Norman Math-
ews. Nickerson was represented by
E. E. Peacock and Mathews by A. A.
Matthew. Nickerson testified that he
sold to and installed a furnace for
Mathews, costing $225. Mathews
paid $215 and Nickerson sued for $40.
Mathews claimed that Nickerson
guaranteed the furnace, but the door
and draft did not work Nickerson
put new draft in the fiue and ce-
mented the door to make it tight, he
said. Mathews said that he would
not pay the $40 until the corrections
were made. Nickerson said that
there was no trouble with the fur
mace. There were no witnesses. The
furnace door and ash box were on
exhibition in the court room. De-
cision was reserved.
