WARSH|P DECLARED
! VITAL WAR FACTOR
Paris View Opposes Concept
That AirpIanes RELOCATE .
Capital Vessels.
Bv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, September 19.-The theory
that airplanes will some day replace
battleships in offensive and defensive
war was rejected Yesterday in a long
article in lie Temps which. discussing
the comparative merits of naval and
aerial war weapons, expresses the
belief that the former will never be
suppanted by the latter.
The article was prompted by 4 report
from Washington that President
Coolidge has no sympathy with efforts
to increase the naval budget and feels
il is better TO spend money on aircraft
than on capital ships. This report has
been given much publicity in the
French press.
lie Temps takes issue with President
Coolidge's reported view-although it
does not mention the President-calls
attention to the airplaneS failure a
hombarding power against capital
ships, and refers lenethily to the
destruction by aircraft of the American
warships New Jersey and Virginia off
Cape Hatteras in September. 1928.
Despite the fact" declares the
newspaper, that these bombardments
were conducted under particularly
favorable conditions, that the weather
was clear and the sea calm and that
the battleships were AT anchor the air
planes were not able to do effective
bombing until they reached the low
altitude of 900 meters
lie Temps further says that the
bombing power of airplanes is useless
in low visibility or in low clouds. that
planes are helpless at night and unable
to leave shelter in stormy weather
These arguments, the article AYERS
initiate more strongly against land
planes weapons of offenSe or de-
Tense against naval forces.
In conclusion. the newspaper fore
shadows a greatly increased develop
ment in the near future in naval air
planes and airplane carriers, not sup

BERLIN PRESS SCC?FS
RUSSO-CHINESE PACT
Declares American Diplomacy
Achieved Great Feat by
It's Objections.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, September 19.-German
newspapers, especially financial jour-
nails, are devoting much space 20 the
Russo Chinese treaty recently signed
in Picking, but are inclined to regard
the treaty rather lightly.
The Berlin Boersen Courier empha-
sizes the fact that Russia is supposed
to have received back it's rights to the
Chinese Eastern Railway which were
forfeited during the revolution, but
says the signing Of an agreement be-
tween Russia and China is quite diff
ferent from getting back the rights
Chang SU-Lin. the military governor
of Manchuria, who has refused to APP
prove the Russo-Chinese treaty nego-
tiated by the Picking government under
the direction of his rival Yu Pei-fu, is
regarded by the German press as the
representative of American objections
TO the agreement with Russia and his
appearance as the chief objector to the
execution of the agreement is COM
mented upon as the greatest achieve
ment of American diplomacy in the
Far East.

fastener Makes Farm
Safe for Feathered Folk

North Andover, Mass.-Because he
is lover of birds, and also of cats,
and because, further, he realizes that
birds and cats do not especially frater-
nize, and the latter usually kill the little
feathered folk, Richard Russell, owner
Of big farm here, has adopted an un-
usual method to try to make his farm
safe for birds while at the same time
his % pet cats may still enjoy their
usual freedom of roaming the hills and
dales at will.
Apparently following the principle
that highways travelled by autmobiles
are made safe for pedestrians by the
requirement of horns on all autos, the
footing of which will warn pedestrians,
Mr.. Russell has issued a decree that
each one of his cats must wear a col
lar equipped with bells.

PALISADES AMUSEMENT
PARK GOSSIP

Barney Riggio is now 20 years old
and he celebrated his birthday in the
wee small hours of last Tuesday morn
ing at the Marion Restaurant. The
party was more or less of an i'm
promptu affair. This is how it came
about "a bunch of the boys whoop-
ing it up" after a strenuous day at
the park, and when the clock struck
twelve John Mulcahy remembered
it was Barney's birthday, and then the
fun began. Amid an avalanche of
congratulations Barney blushed as he
OF 20.
Harry Mulcahy took the place of the
famous "ragtime kid and "he
clutched the keys with his tallowed
hands" just like the guy in the Ser
vice poem, and we can continue, God,
how that man could play!" Fred
Stohl called up Dewey Mulcahy, who
lives upstairs, and he came down
pronto and sang a few numbers in
tenor voice that would haN made
Caruso bite his fingers with envy.
Don't know what time the party broke
up, but although it was far from be-
ing dead party, it went into morn
ing (not such a good joke, but some
body might like it). Those present
were Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Stohl, Mr.
and Mrs. Dewey Mulcahy, Mr.. and
Mrs. Herman Bergkamp, Jack Inslee,
r G. Schwartz, James Beasley, Harry
and John Mulcahy, and Mike Zahney,
the Palisadian reporter, and, of
course, the guest of honor, Barney
Riggio.
While speaking of the Marion Res
taurant, you should know that Mike
Zahney found pearl in a clam there
the other night. He guards it with
his life and refused to sell it to Jack
Inslee for $3.50. When the appraiser
tells him the retail value is about
16 cents he'll be sorry, but it's an ill
wind blows nobody good, Jack will be
glad
Other than this there is not much
to report, except that John Duffy got
frisked of some cash and a couple of
rocks, as well as a ticker. There was
some variation in the story of how
much dough Duffy was relieved of.
One story had it $1,000 and another
$3.50, but we considered $3.50 enough
to justify front page splash in bill
board type to turn to page one for the
thriller.
Perry Charles has been seen with
cane lately, and we want you to know
he is not getting old, nor has he con-
tracted gout. No, he tripped over
Sam, the Parks pioneer hound, and
strained a ligament in his knee. He
IS able to raise cane, but he can't
kick. He says if he develops water on
the knee he will wear pumps.

needless to say, it was a delicious
one.
One party of six was set at a table
on the piazza, the others in the house.
Pink rambler roses decorated the
tables.
After the luncheon Mrs. Edwin Cur
tbs enlivened things by telling for
tunes for those present, the tips thus

Quarterly Congregational Meeting
The recent quarterly meeting of the
Grantwood Congregational Church
demonstrated a fine condition of the
church affairs.
The pastor, Reverend Mr.. Curtis,
acted as chairman, and reports proved
that the organizations were making
progress in numbers and finances.
The Sunday School has increased in
attendance and it's finances are better
than for many years.
The church bills are paid and
money promised to meet all obliga-
tions up to January 1.
The Talent" Fund report promises
greater results than were expected,
exceeding the sum planned, and a
number of people have asked to be in
cluded in the campaign.
Reverend S. c. Gozzo, of the Cliff
side Congregational Mission, gave a
very satisfactory report of it's work.
The mission, hereafter, will be on a
different basis, relieving the Grant
wood Church of obligation, so that in
stead of being a branch of it, the mis-
sion will come under the care of the
New Jersey Missionary Society with
a committee consisting of Reverend
]. T. Stocking, Charles F. Baker and
S. N. Sears as it's executive members
of that society.
