Condensed Resume Of the Important
Events In the Nation and State.
PACTS SIGNED To
OUTLAW WAR
Representatives of Seven Ma
tons Sign Treaties to Submit
Disputes to League

London-Germany and its principal
antagonists in the World war, signed
the Locarno treaty and collateral
pacts guaranteeing peace in Europe
and the submission to arbitration OF
any disputes that may arise between
them regarding their frontiers. The
contrast between the signing Of this
momentous pact and the peace treaty
of Versailles six years ago, was mark
ed in two respects. There was none
of the magnificence and glamor sar-
rounding the Versailles signing. The
ceremony which lasted only an hour
was notable for it's extreme simplicity.
And this time the Germans came OF
their own free will. They signed glad
ly, with smiling faces, in striking
contrast to that other occasion when
the delegates of the reich appended
their signatures under compulsion with
white faces registering mixture of
fear and anger. This ceremony was
carried out in spirit of optimism
which was hailed as auguring we'll for
an era of peace throughout Europe.
