ships aiming to counteract such pro- paganda. The Westminster Gazette attributes to seamen the statement that the authorities cannot stop the circulation of Communist publica- tions on ships.
 The correspondent quotes mem- bers of the crew of the cruiser Vim .dictive as having said to him: "Tho Vindictive Is one of the Bolshevik ships of the navy"
 According to the correspondent, "rhe Red Flag" has been sung in the Vindictive's lower deck mess room while miniature red flags were run up. Some of the crew, when the Nindictive was visiting Ports mouth, held a demonstration on the steps of the town hall and sang the Communist anthem.
 The correspondent says sailors on the Vindictive attributed this dis play to resentment over the "tyr- annical attitude 6f a high officer" This man added that since he had joined another ship the situation on the Vindictive had improved, but the men had been warned that court martial awaited any singers Of "Thc Red Flag"

FORMAL NOTICE OF INVITATION
Washington Gets Text Of Note
 From Geneva

Washington. Dec. IS R)--The | Washington government has reCeiv- | cd from the League of Nations coun- cil an invitation 10 participate off cially in preliminary plans at Gen eva for a disarmament conference and with 1t notice that solution of the problem will depend upon its consideration fin it's entirety and with the cooperation of all nations"
 An simplifying document, mailed from Berne by Minister Gibson, giy- ing details of the workings of tho preparatory commission, is due to , leave here next week and 1t Is ex- pected that formulating of 6 reply by President Coolidge and Secretary Kellogg will await it's receipt.
 The invitation disclosed that every direct and related phase of land, sea and air armaments IS to be studied by the commission. making it clear that if an American delegation at tends the sessions it must take with it large technical staff of military and civilian experts.
 Specifically mentioned in the invi- tation are the following subpects 10 be discussed by the preparatory con- mission:
 Factors upon which the war strength or peace strength should be considered in applying dlsarma- ment measurements.
 Various forms of limitation of land, sea and air forces: hence rela- tive advantages and disadvantages of each form.
 Possible standards of armament of one country against that of an- ether.
 Possibility of asccrtaining whether a country is armed purely for de- fense or in a spirit of aggression.
 Principles under which 6 relative scale of ornaments might be drawn up considering such factors as pop ulation, resources, geographical sit uation, communications, vulnerabil- ity of frontiers and delays necessary to convert peace armament to war footing.
 Possibility of distinguishing be- tween military and civilian aVia- ton.
 Estimation of military value Of commercial fleets.
 Relation between regional security and disarmament and between re- gional and general disarmament.
 The invitation, bearing the sig nature of M. Scialona, acting presi- dent of the league council. declared that "council believes that the time has come for studying the practical possibilities of the reduction and limitation of ornaments under the guidance and responsibility of the governments"
 It expressed the hope that "at The moment when all the nations Of the world are conscious of q common need ,it will be able to count on the full and direct cooperation of the government of the United states fora work which so closely concerns the peace of the world,'

London, Dec. IS Rl-The West minister Gazette's correspondent at Plymouth asserts that Communistic sympathies exist among the seamen of some of the ships of the British navy. He cites the circulation of Communists publications and the singing of "The Red Flag" aboard certain warships as proof of his statement.
 During the recent prosecution of Communists in London the fact was revealed that Communist propa- ganda was active in the army and navy. The admiralty this week is- sued notices to the personnel of

GROWING RUBBER IN PHILIPPINES

Crud. rubber Is weaker" as the stock market folk term it, meaning the price has been reduced follow ing the action of the British gov ernment in permitting a larger quantity of crude rubber to be marketed. But the fact remains that all our rubber comes from these channels and we remain at the mercy of the British producers.
 It Is said that rubber could be produced in the Philippines If a systematic effort were made to transplant enough plants to get start. As a matter of fact, that IS what the British did in connection with the industry developed in the Malay Peninsula. The rubber plant originally grew in Brazil, and there was a time when that country hau q monopoly of the supply. But the British and Dutch found way to get sufficient of the Brazilian plants to make beginning with ruoner nroduction in their tropical possess siors, The United States in the oninion of some rubber eApel's' nav have the same opportunity That it has not been taken before ,his Is surprising considering our reputation for enterprise

ANOTHER RECORD HUNG

Citizens doubtless received with satisfaction the report that more plumbing fixtures were installed in the city during July than during any month in Its history. Such installa- tions, of course, are but a reflection of the widespread building of new homes; and 1t also means that all homes nowadays are given the most advanced plumbing appliances, which naturally adds to the health and satisfaction of tho people and enhances the uniye ersal standard of living.
 When 1t Is realized that within the lifetime of many citizens bathtubs and modern plumbing fixtures were virtually unknown in even the best homes; that about half century ago, when tho first bathtubs were produced in Cincinnati they elicited ridicule and general condemnation not to mention an effort by law makers to forbid their manufacture -on the score, perhaps, that chill dren would drown in them---it can be realized how conditions of life have changed.

THE NEED OF REPAIRS
 AT UNDERPASS

The road under the railroad un- derpass in Kensington is q state aid highway but remains no credit to the state, nor to the minhtrations of the state highway department,
 This underpass section of the highway is at Its worst after rain, and as the rains of the past two weeks have been numerous, the road scarcely ever has been in worse con- dition,
 That repairs should be made to the surface at once is the logical deduction of every motorist who as his automobile descends into the deep muddy ruts, gets no solace from reminding himself that two cents from every gallon of gasoline he buys is going to the state for road repair purposes,
 Paying a two-cent gasoline tax and receiving no road repairs at such a spot leads motorists to think there is defective supervision of the highways.

AT LEAST ONE CASE OF SPEEDY JUSTICE

This happened in Boston, and 1t Is about time the same story were heard from every other city in the land.
 Two hold-up men with pistols at- tempted to rob Roxbury store keeper last Tuesday night. The storekeeper yelled for help and was badly beaten with the butt end of a gun. The police captured the would be robbers shortly afterward.
 The pair were indicted by grand jury tho following forenoon. They were arraigned in court in the after noon and one pleaded guilty. The other was tried at once--not In six months or a year later, but at once.
 Tn 14 minutes a jury returned a verdict of guilty and the pair were sent to prison with terms of 10 to 12 years, and five to seven years. respectively.
 The hold-up men were convicted and sentenced In less than 2% hours after the hold-up. That's the sort of thing that will discourage crime

 Some of our public clocks ln stores are running on standard time and others on daylight saving time Nobody seems inconvenienced, ah everybody nowadays, after noting the declaration of time on pubic clock, instinctively jerks out his watch and verifes 1t.
 Public clocks in New Britain can fool nobody. If they were eliminated altogether scarcely anyone would De inconvenienced. The only time-pleces that amount to anything during the summer time in this city and state are those carried around at the end of a chain or dangle alongside the wrist
