LEAGUE PEACEPACT
 DECLINED BY RUSSIA
Mention RuSSO-Japanese Treaty in
 Reply to League Heads

Geneva, May 1s.--A reference to
 the Russo-Japanese war was a fea-
 ture of the recent communication
 which the Russian Soviet government
 sent to the League of Nations outlin-
 ing the reasons why 1t is opposed to the pact of mutual guarantees which
 was elaborated by the last assembly of
 the league. Developing one Of the ideas of the league covenant, the pact
 in question provides for a gradual world disarmament, and incidentally 1t gives 10 the league council the au- thority 10 decide which state is an aggressor when any serious difficulty breaks out between two powers.
 In his note to the league, Tchitchs- rim, who signed himself Peoples Commissary for Foreign Affairs of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republi- lics.'' declared that in the present in ternational situation it is impossible in most cases to say which party is the aggressor He contended that neither the entry into foreign terri tory nor the scale of war preparations can be regarded as satisfactory cri- teria. He insisted that hostiities gen erally break out after 2 series of mutual aggressive acts Of the most varied character,
 For example. Tehitcherin said, when the Japanese torpedo boats attacked the Russian fleet st Fort Arthur in 1904 it was clearly an act of aggres- sion from a technical point of view. but politically speaking, it was an act caused by the aggressive policy of the Czarist government towards Japan. who in order to forestall the danger, struck the first blow at her adversary. Nevertheless" he added. Japan cannot be regarded as the victim be cause the collision between the two states was not merely the result of the aggressive acts of the Czarist gov ernment, but also of the imperiallst policy of the Japanese government towards the people of China and Ko- ! req The Soviet government consid- i CTS. therefore. that it is absolutely i'm l possible to adopt the system of decid- | ing which state is the sggressor in the ! case Of each conflict, and making def , mite consequences depend upon such decision"
 Tchitcherin admitted that there are eases in which q state attacks another without provncation. and said that the Soviet government Is prepared to make agreements with other govern ments 10 oppose attacks of this kind undertaken without due cause.
 Referring to the ract's suthoriza- ton of regional agreements between groups of states. the Soviet govern ment said it regarded local agree ment between certain states as in- evitsble. but deemed it quite mad missible that they should receive rec cgnition from an international ergani- sation tmeanins the League of Ma tionse or that they should be regard cd as beneficial in the prevention Of wars.
 Moscow regarded ss even more in- admissible. declared Tehitcherin, the obligation Imposed on other contract Ing states to give assistance. in the

A. ROWLAND LEVIN DROWNED
AT EDGEWATER PARK
LAST THURSDAY

While bathing in the Delaware
River, at Edgewater Park, last
Thursday evening, Albert Roland
Levin, residing in this vicinity since
boyhood days and a swimmer of
more than ordinary ability, was pro-
baby seized suddenly with cramps
and drowned. As it was his custom,
for some time past, he loved might
swims," and on sthis occasion, no one
observed him in the water and he
was not missed until Friday morn
ing when he failed to appear and
search instituted to ascertain his
whereabouts. This revealed circum-
stances that strongly pointed toward
an unfortunate and sorrowful end
ing, confirmed Sunday afternoon
when his body was discovered in the
spladderdocks on the east bank of
the Rancocas Creek about midway.
between Delanco and Bridgeboro.
Funeral services were held last
Tuesday afternoon with interment at
the convenience of the brothers and
sisters who survive him.
"Loggy," as he was affectionately
known and called by his many ac-
quaintances, was one of those whole
souled fellows everyone in this vicin-
ity knew and liked. He was 'hail
fellow, well met" always greeting
you with a smile and wave of the
hand; a cheerful word and good hui
NOR akin to "kidding"-never

The social prominence and rela-
tionship of others to him by mar
riage made him hosts of friends who
regret his demise, especially in such
a tragic manner.
He was 81 years of age. unmar-
ried, veteran of the World War
and resided with his brother-in-law,
Frank Thatcher, at Edgewater Park.

CANOE CLUB LOCATES AT
EDGEWATER PARK

The Red Dragon Canoe Club, a
Tacony, Pa. organization, has bought
the old Shipman property at Edge
water Park, and is having it. made
over into a clubhouse. The situation
is almost ideal for canoe club, as
the bathing beach is good, and for
two miles in either direction there is
an unobstructed stretch of water
that is well adopted to racing.
AS the property has been vacant
for over ten years it has been neces-
sary to have great deal of repair
ing done. Although the thick UNI
dergrowth which covered the lawns
has been cleared away it will take
some time to get the grounds in
shape. The house itself has been
painted and wired and the interior
is being remodeled to meet the needs
of modern clubhouse. A garage
and caretaker's lodge have been
built IN the rear OF the mouse. Inc
beach has been cleared of rubbish
and slip equipped with a diving
board will be built out into the water
at convenient point.
Old residents well remember the
last occupants of the estate. The
Shipman's were an aged and rather
eccentric couple, both writers by
profession. 1t is said that they
were never seen in the daytime, but
that they arose and worked through
out the night. One morning groc-
er entered the house to find them
both dead, presumably from old age.
As they died intestate and no heir
could be found, many legal ques-
tions arose as to the disposal of the
property, and it remained vacant
from at time down to the present.

gled and Gotta was sent in to run
for him. A. Nelson followed with
the third straight hit. scoring Bern
stein. Gotta slid into third safe, but
had the misfortune to break his
ankle in the act. McCue took his
place at third. Woodington then put
the game on ice with a screaming
bingle to left, scoring McCue and
Nelson.
Francis Ziegler, local youngster,
who has been playing ball for a
number of years. covered first base
for the local club. He accepted Is
chances with out an error, and con-
,nected for one of Beverly's four hits.

day evening, Florence defeated Roe

Big Real Estate
Boom For Beverly

A big real estate deal was closed
on Tuesday, in which the Colonial
Land Company. of Trenton, purchas-
ed the property and lands of George
Baggs and also that of Robert
brennan, on the st. Mihiel Drive at
Perkins Lane.
The deal terminated while George
and William Worth, of this city,
were on. their annual winter trip
to Palm Beach, Florida, where they
met by chance, the president of the
real estate concern. In the course
of the chat, real estate was mention
ed, and the future possibilities of a
bigger and better Beverly. The out
come of this confab is likely to be a
big surprise to developers in Jersey,
who have passed this wonderful OPP
portunity by.
The growth of Beverly is often
overlooked by the citizens at home,
while strangers always have an eye
for growth and developments pos
sibilities.
With highway passing through
the middle of the future town and
beautiful boulevard along the riv-
er front, the company feels that it
will not be long before Beverly will
have at its door high grade section
that it will be proud of.
1t is stated that lots will be stalk
ed off, streets laid and building OPP
erations started shortly, and in the
course of a year new town, will
be well on it's way to prosperity.
The selling price, which includes
about $50 acres, has been set at
$4,000.

The trick was to get the knot tied

$50. Il
Date Fixed For
Firenlen Parade

Saturday, October 18th, has been
fixed as the date of the big parade
that will take place at Burlington
under the auspices of the Burlington
County Firemen's Association. This
was decided at o meeting of the
general parade committee in the
Council room at the City Hall, Bur-
lington on Friday evening last.
The meeting was presided over by
Frank Watchorn, chief of the Bur-
lington Fire Department, who is the
chairman. David Brotherton, presi-
dent of the County Association, was
present as the secretary Of the COM
mittee. There was good attend
ance.
There was considerable discussion
as to whether the parade should be
staged on Thursday or on Saturday.
The best argument was put up in
favor of Saturday. 1t was commended
that a greater number could take
part in the pageant on that day be-
cause it would be half holiday.
More people would be able ia take
part in it, more people would be
able to see it and would operate bet
ter for the industrial plants.
Now that the date has been fixed
the work of arranging the details
rapidly will go forward. During the
past week Secretary Brotherton sent
invitations to every fire department
in Burlington County, to fire COM
panies in adjacent New Jersey coun-
ties, and to fire companies in Bucks
County, Pa.
Prominent men also will be invit-
ed to come to Burlington on that
day. State and county officials win
be included. It is believed that
many will see the advantage of tax
ing part in the big jubilee.
One of the details mentioned was
street dance in the evening. 1t is
quite likely that arrangements will
be made to have the dance on Union
street, using the block between High
and Wood street, and the block be-
tween High and Stacy street. A
band will be placed midway of each
block. Street dances have become
popular and such an seyent would
undoubtedly add much to the charm
of the Burlington celebration.
Judging from the present outlook
the parade will be the biggest thing
of the kind ever staged in this sec-
ton. It is almost certain that every
fire company in the county viii take
part and there is reason to believe
that many companies outside of the
county will be there. In fact it is
expected that the gathering of fire.
apparatus will be the greatest ever
seen at one time in this state.
The time of the parade has been
fixed at two o'clock.
