bly, of the League of Nations in
September next"
The courtly formality of old time
diplomacy was noticeably absent
from the meeting. The French
party arrived at Chequers Court late
last evening in the midst Of a tropi-
cal Thunderstorm. They were met
at the entrance to the house by the
British prime minister wearing a
golf suit. Dinner was waiting. and
without delay to change clothes the
party sat down Immediately.
The meal ended, they adjourned to
the library. where the conversations
began. They were resumed after
breakfast today.
After lunch the party came out on
the terrace and posed for photo
graphers, and Mr.. Macdonald made
brief address of welcome to q
dozen French reporters.
Mr.. Macdonald led the entire
party through the beauty spots of
the grounds until 1t was time for NJ.
Herriot and his compatriots to leave
for London. At the golf links of the
estate Mr.. Macdonald said jokingly
to M. Herriot: Here We can play a
match-France versus England"
At parting, the two premiers ap-
peared very pleased, although no
word was spoken publicly by any
member OF the party bearing on the
conference.
Arriving at London NJ. Herriot was
met by the French ambassador. He
visited the tomb of the unknown SOL
der in Westminster and placed q
wreath on the cenotaph. He was
given a warm welcome by the peo-
pie and will remain in London over
night, proceeding to Brussels In the
morning.
AS it had been thought no COM
munique would be issued, the fact
that Mr.. Macdonald has seen his
way to make such a. satisfactory
statement to the public is interpreted
here as proving that he has received
ample assurance from NJ. Herriot
and that, provided the French prem
Ter is able to secure support in the
chamber, the main difficulties will
soon be removed from the repara-
tons problems.
Much significance may lie in the
decision of the two premiers to visit
Geneva together. As viewed here,
one of the points separating British
and French policies was that Mr..
Macdonald desired that security for
France after she evacuates the Ruhr
should be provided through the
League of Nations, while the French
view was that such league security
would not suffice.

Customers Who DO Not Pay

A. E. Lord. the popular grocer in
Pittston. has recently added two new
customers to his credit list, and reports
that that he seems to be having trou-
BILE in collecting payment. although
they make daily visits to his store. Mr..
Lord keeps a large bunch of bananas
hanging on the porch outside his store
and has discovered that gray squirrels
in the immediate vicinity come down
out of tree, jump onto a peanut roast
er and from there onto the top Of the
bunch of bananas. worry of banana
apiece. then go back to their home and.
while the spectators watch, eat the
fruit. They do this at least once a
day and sometimes several times, and
MT. Lord declares that 1t is so amusing
to watch the little animals in their
theft that he has no wish to spoil their
feast.

Wilful Chinese Soldier
Flo0red by Foreigner

Picking. May IA "a. P. by Mail)-
A Chinese soldier armed with a sack
of copper coins beat up an Italian,
an American and an Englishman on
a recent Sunday morning in retalia-
ton for having been denied the
privilege of walking on the wall
which bounds the Legation Quarter
on the south. He had been told by
the Chinese police that the wall was
reserved for the use of foreigners.
A few days after his eviction the
soldier strolled into Hatamen street,
which bounds the Legation Quarter
on the east, apparently determined
to assert his rights. His first VIC
tins. the Italian and the American,
escaped with slight injuries. Flush
ed with victory the soldier then re-
mounted the forbidden wall pre-
pared to challenge the first foreign
devil" An Englishman mounted the
ramp. the soldier swung his sack Of
coins and the Englishman went
down. He scrambled to his feet and
landed a right to the jaw which
fioored the Chinese. An American
marine came to the rescue and held
the soldier until the Legation Quar-
ter police arrived. The soldier was
lodged in the Legation Quarter lock-
up where he has since been held
pending assurances by the Chinese
military authorities that he will be
adequately punished. The English
man broke his hand in the ARRAY.

M. and the members of Queen. Sther
Chapter, o. E. s. attended the SER
vice in body to listen to a special
sermon on masonry by the pastor.
The church was most attractively
decorated with a profusion of flow-
ers and flags. The choir, composed
Of ]. Archer Snare, w. Frank Pierce,
Mrs. Note Young, Miss Audrey
Snare, Mrs. Eleanor Nickerson and
Mrs. Nina Treworgy, sang two beau
tiful and appropriate anthems. The
subject of the pastors sermon was
the history Of masonry and its mean
ing. In his introduction he mention
ed some of the great figures of his
tory who were masons, Oliver Crom-
we'll. John Milton. the poet, and
George Washington. The song of
masonry, he said, was the song of
Moses, the song of patriotism. To
develop that theme he showed what
part masons had played in American
history. 1t was also the law, he de-
clared, and further amplified and de-
veloped that theme. Then he briefly
sketched the history of the masonic
movement in America. showing that
it existed before the Revolution, that
the members of the Boston Tea Par
ty were masons and the planlaidin a
masonic lodge room. The tie, he said.
had held even in the Civil War, and
instanced that meeting at Gettys-
burg as proof. From that he went
on to the present and the future of
the order. There were problems to
solve. chief among them those of
war, and racial rancor, and only
brotherhood could solve them. The
song of Moses, the song of masonry.
was the song of patriots. of law. of
prophecy and of Immortality. The
address was interesting and impress
i've and was listened to by a large
audience,

improvements I'm Hubbard Library

The Hubbard Free library has
undergone extensive and interesting
improvements. New electric lights,
soft and indirect, have been INSTALL
ed, and add much to the appearance
and comfort OF the building. But
the most interesting improvement is
the establishment in the book room
OF q reading room for the older
people who want perfect quiet and
nothing to distract them from their
work. Space has been made on the
left side as one enters the book room
for a large table and a number of
comfortable chairs. The table IS
hemmed In a swith walls by book
cases arranged in rectangular form.
The section thus shut off is very ade-
quately lighted and will prove most
suitable and comfortable.
