Pershing Points
To Need OF Unity
Among. Americas

Havana, March (By A. P.)-The
Importance of the brotherhoods Of
the various republics of North and
South America in promoting world
peace was stressed today by Gem
eral John j. Pershing in an address
at the unwilling Of the monument
erected by the Cuban government in
honor of the 266 Americans who lost
their lives when the battleship Maine
was sunk by an explosion in Havana
harbor the night of February Is,
1898.
ut seems fitting" said General
Pershing, that there should exist a
very intimate relationship between
the Oldest republic on this continent,
and Cuba, the youngest. We have
watched our small sisters growth
with sincere solicitude. Such things
naturally form the basis of a mutual
confidence and friendship that will
grow stronger with the passage of
years.
But in the larger sense, we be-
long to the great brotherhood of Am
erican republics. and in that status
all of us have n destiny to fulfill.
w. SSNSittl ltpubllCS are IOunQeQ on
, the theory of government by the
people.
The task that presents itself to
every American republic is not only
to develop the untold resources of
the new continent, but at the same
time to prepare each individual for a
wise participation in the government
OF which he is a part"
The American general made a plea
for the establishment of complete
Pan American cooperation and I'M
derstanding, declaring he considered
it would be the most important step
ever taken toward the peace of the
world
Others who spoke at the ceremony
of dedication We're President Zayas
and Rear Admiral John H. Dayton,
I. s. n. As a tribute of the king of
Spain to the Americans who lost
their lives in the sinking of the
Maine. the Spanish minister laid a
huge wreath at the base of the mon
ument.
The Utah will leave Tuesday for
NJ York with General Pershing
and his party on board.

Peace Protocol
Not Satisfactory
British Will Protest

Geneva. March 9 C3y A. p.)-The
Geneva peace protocol fashioned by
the nations to outlaw war is not ac-
ceptable to the British Empire, Aus
ten Chamberlain, British foreign
; secretary, will announce to the coun-
Gil of the league of nations at to-
morrow's session. Such is the def
mite statement made by British
spokesman tonight.
In a lengthy prOnouncement Mr..
Chamberlain will clearly set forth
the British objections to the protocol
as at present framed, but is under
| stood that he will probably not at
tempt to explain just how the pro-
tocol can be changed so as to satisfy
British opinion. In other words, the
British secretary will offer no sub
stitute for the protocol.
Whether it will be possible to save
the Geneva great peace effort by re-
vision and amendment so that it can
be assured British support, which is
| essential to its success will depend
| partly on the council but some re-
| modelling is expected to be necessary
to mollify the British objections.
The nations generally, it was
pointed out, and especially the
! smaller states, who expressed great
hopes in the protocol as Suarant ee-
! ing their future security, will seek
| the right to be heard before proto-
col can be definitely abandoned and
will demand an opportunity to re-
| wise the instrument.
Germany, with Russia looming
still mystericusly in the background,
! forms an individual problem about
which the lengthy council program
revolVes. 10 get Germany into the
| league Is the desire of everybody,
| for she would then be under the
! same obligations to maintain world
peace as the fffty-fiVe nations which
| have already subscribed to the
| league covenant with all it's solemn
| engagements.
In this connection it IS pointed out
| that TIE covenant still exists and
| that whatever may be the fate of the
Geneva protocol still exists and that
whatever may be the fate of the
Geneva protocol, which is virtually
a Qualification and reinstatement Of
| the covenant, the principle of mu-
! tuaI' assistance still binds the ma
| tons which ere members of the
| league. Private conversations pc

nounced getting together of diplo-
, mats of the smaller states in an f.
fort to CLEAN the direction of the

listed tonight that the security prob

will never abandon he rallies. 1t is
learned that DR.. Syresemann recent

Basketball Carnival

A basketball carnival was featured
by the grammar school Friday even
ing which was very largely attended
by the townspeople of Winthrop.
Four games were played during the
evening. The opening game was a
lively little scrap between two teams
of boys from the 4th and 5th grades,
the team designated as the whites
defeating the Khaki's by a score of
9 to 6. These little fellows used
specially constructed baskets ard
ployed on a shortened floor space.
They gave their friends 20 minutes
of fun, playing four-five min. periods.
The Intermediates followed with a
lively game in which the White
Sweaters again ran away with the
long end of 20 to 8 score.
Two teams Of girls played prac-
tice game, which was close enough
to be of interest, the White MILDLY
girls defeating their rivals by count
of 16 to IA.
The Grammar school boys team
played a snappy game with VIM
throp High End, the latter winning
by a score of II to 16. This game
was fast and was won by the High
school in the final moments of play.
