It was learned today that com
plete unanimity of opinion has oeen
reached by the diplomatic corps al
Picking and identic notes TO emma
accepting the conference sugges'
ton. are now awaiting formal pre-
sentation.
Although the text Of the notes
i>has not been divulged, it was gen
; eraIly reported that all the lead
ing world powers have accepted the
broad view expressed by China that
her treaty relations, particularly
those dealing with extra terr1tor1'
atty. should be considered with
view to revision to meet lew con-
ditions.
No Date Set
The one important point in con-
nection with the note Is the 1acI
that no time has been set for the
conference.
Reported hostility of Great Brit
J.
ton that the time was now at
hand when extraordinarily should
be Immediately considered, is under
stood to be back OF the decision
not to fix a definite time.
Kellogg's address before the
American Bar Association at De.
troit last night, in which he de-
clared that present Chinese insta.
bility was not sufficient reason
for delay in living up to the terms
of the Washington conference, was
taken today as a hint to the pow.
ers that America would not drop
her determination to have the
present treaties revised.
Strawn To Represent U. s.
Kellogg revealed that as evidence
of good faith Siles III. Strawn.
American delegate to the customs
conference to be held at Picking
October 26, has also been appoint
ed as American representative on
the proposed extra-territoriality
commission.
The customs conference was
called in conformity with an agree.
ment reached by the powers at
the Washington conference of 1921
in which it was admitted that pres
ent Chinese revenue from customs
was insufficient to meet the fixed
expenses Of government.
TIL present revenue is approxi.
mately per cent and 1t is hoped
to raise this to III. With this
additional money, observers are
agreed that the Picking government
would be in better position to
maintain law and order.
The washington conference also
agreed to discuss extra-territoriaI-
ity at another - conference with a
view to substituting Chinese for
foreign laws in dealing with citi-
zens Of other lands living in
China
It was to prod the powers to
take action on this conference and
also to protest against the Shang-
hal incident in which a number OF
Chinese students were slain by
foreign police during demonstra'
ton, that the Chinese note Of last
June was dispatched to the powers,
Secretary Kellogg Immediately
supported the Chinese demand for
an immediate conference and for
the past two months the powers

Sound Wisdom
Features Talk at
G.. of C.. Meeting

Prof.. Ernest G. Mariner, speaking
on the subject, Education for Bus
mess and Education for Life" before
the membership meeting of the Wat
erville- Winslow Chamber of Com
merce at the Elks building last eve
ring gave to the many members who
were present, some of the soundest
wisdom hey have heard from any
speaker for some time. The speak
er discussed the changing concep-
tioins Of vocational training and the
growing recognition of the need of
training for character building in an
intensely interesting manner, bright
ened by many happy anecdotes.
In opening he spoke of the inter-
est the United States Chamber of
Commerce and its affiliated Cham
bers are taking in education for
business and the great good that has
resulted from it. Education to many
today, said Prof. Mariner, has be-
come simply a process of passing the
buck; the high school blaming the
grammar school for the poor prepa-
ration of children and the grammar
schools in turn blaming the homes.
He said that although there We're
many in the schools today who
would be useless in business. who
could not make out a bill or an in
voice and whose spelling and punct-
uation is atrocious. the situation is
rot in reality any worse than 1t was
during the last century. He told oil
some diaries and journals that he
had been looking over during the
last few days in which the spelling
was weird as is that Of some pupils
of today.

per organization and the use OF
agents had been inefficient. Too
much attention, he held, had been
directed to minor police work in the
states rather than to the stopping of
known sources of supply which, in
his opinion, lay chiefly in alcohol
manufacture and denaturing plants
and breweries and not in Rum Row.
Senator Watson, Republican, In
diana, who told the committee of the
administrators intention to go the
limit iins enforcement declared, it was
generally known, that the present
system of enforcement was defective
in parts. He pointed out, however,
that prohibition is in it's incipiency
and while it is being wantonly vio-
lated he predicted that if given suf-
ficient funds it would be made eff
fectiye.
Declaring "The whole thing is pro-
blematical' and a tremendous task,
Senator Watson asserted that the
prohibition unit was doing the best
it could to correct inefficiency and TO
strengthen enforcement.
IF after its enforcement to the
limit the people do not want to
stand for it, he continued sit is for
the people to say SO and it can be
modified"
There has been a good deal of
friction between the department of
justice and the prohibition unit,
Chairman Couzens asserted, but he
added that the committee had been
promised by Assistant Secretary An
rews, recently placed in supervision
of prohibition enforcement in the
treasury, that these differences
would be eliminated.

rms naturally means a bigger bur-
den for schools. He also pointed
out that the world of business has
taken such rapid strides that the
schools of the last generation are
entirely inadequate to maintain the
pace.
In closing Prof. Mariner quoted
the line from Milton: IT'S only day
that makes SIM saying that no man
was bad in the eyes of his fellows
until his sins had been discovered.
He said that this idea must not be
allowed to exist in the minds of the

In November last a hearing was
held before the Public Utilities Com
mission of Maine, and Harold +. Da-
Wis, Examiner of the Interstate
Commerce Commission of Washing
ton, at the State House, this city, on
application of the Quebec Extension
Railway Company, for right to con-
struct the new line of railroad.
After a prolonged hearing in which
Thomas Leigh and Charles L. An
drews of this city appeared for the
Quebec Extension Railway Company
in favor of the application to build
the railroad and Henry j. Hart of
Bangor, General Counsel, appeared
for the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad
Company in opposition, the Public
Utility Commission Of Maine and
Harold +. Davis, Examiner, took the
application under advisement.
On February last an opinion was
handed down by Mr.. Davis, the
Examiner, recommending to the In
terstate Commerce Commission that
the application be granted authoriz-
ing the railroady company to build
and construct the railroad.
To this recommendation and find
ing, the Bangor &c Aroostook Rail-
road, through it's counsel, Henry J.
Hart, filed exceptions and took an
appeal to the full Board Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission at
Washington. The exceptions and ap-
peal thus taken We're argued orally
before the Interstate Commerce
Commission at Washington on April
10th, last.
Followingreceipt of the telegraph
ic information that the protest of the
b. & A. had been dismissed Tuesday
afternoon, the local counsel for the
new line stated that Hon. Arthur
r. Gould, president of the Quebec
Extension Railway Company is now
ready to proceed with the construc-
ton of this railroad provided that
satisfactory contracts and aoree-
ments can be made with the timber
land owners along the line Of the
proposed railroad.
This railroad when built will mean
much not only for the prosperity of
Northern Maine but the whole state.
