placed the welfare Of the league and
the ideals of peace above all else anc,
that at the present time she has
neither army nor navy, relying en-
tirely on moral force for the perpetn-
alton Of peace. He also spoke of
Czecho- Slovakia in terms of COM
mendation and said that both Swed-
en- and that country had offered to
withdraw from the lower council to
make way for Poland >,
Much blame for the present stu
alton in the league was laid to- the
door of Brazil as she wanted per-
manent seat and has maintained
that she will not permit Germany ad-
mittance until she herself if seated.
The doctor characterized Mussolini
as "a menace to world peace" and as
man who does all in his power to
play upon the passions of the Italian
people. He read from a recent story
in the New York Times which init
mated that Mussolini had had hand
in the mess and that he may have
encouraged the discordant stand of
Spain and Brazil.

Sentinel Editor
Gives Sound Talk
To Colby Journalists

Frank Manson, editor-tn- chief or
the Waterville Sentinel, spoke be-
fore the Colby journalism class yes
terday morning, delivering one OF
the finest talks heard by the organ
ization this year. The speakers
wide experience in the newspaper
world contributed very largely to
make his speech exceedingly inter
esting. Mr.. Manson stated that the
business of a newspaper was spread
ing human knowledge and outlined
the developments of recent years
which have made this increasingly
possible. The steps in the making
of a good newspaper man were dis
cusSed and very comprehensive
outline given of the newspaper bus
mess. The tendency toward special
ization of members of the Stairs or
the large newspapers was also spok-
en- of during the hour. Mr.. Manson
also stated that in his opinion the
best place to develop a newspaper
man was in the business and also
that, although the important work OF
the journalistic schools can hardly
be over estimated, good newspaper
man must understand the different
phases of the business by gaining
his knowledge through experience.
One of the main topics brought
out by the speaker was discussion
of the development of the Associat-
! ed Press, which he called the back
bone of nearly all newspapers. A
brief but very comprehensive Sketch
of the development of that organiza-
ton was given and it's present and
mast work discussed very accurately.
Comparison between the United
Press and the Associated Press was
made and also many other details
discussed. Syndicate news and Its
Importance, the tendency toward
consolidation, the work of the vari-
Gus members of the staff of news
paper, the opportunities in the bus
mess. and the fact that in the news
paper business more than in any
other a man must stand or fall on
his work alone were other points
which Mr.. Manson made IN his ex-
cellent outline of the newspaper
business and its workings and de-
yelopment.

Waterville Has
Little to Fear from
Freshet This Spring

With a rise in the waters of the
Kennebec river of but two inches
since last week no fear is felt by the
riyermen in this city in the immed
late future. Yesterday six inches of
water was flowing over the Ticonic
dam as compared with four inches a
week ago but this comes as the re-
suit of the suns work and is no
more than is to be expected.
Predictions of freshets this spring
are coming from all parts of the
State and if the rivers do go on a
rampage Waterville and Winslow
will undoubtedly suffer to some eX-
tent at least. Three years ago much
property was devastated along the
banks of the Kennebec and Sebasti-
cook rivers in the two communities
and in parts of Winslow transporta-
ton was possible only by boats.
1t was pointed out yesterday that
more danger of flood exists along
the Kennebec than along some of the
other rivers of Maine because its
storage facilities at the headwaters
are not as highly developed as they
might be.
This part Of Maine has experienced
a long dry spell and rain is predict
ed within the next two days which
may bring the trouble that rivermen
have been anticipating.

Colby Professor
Speaks Interestingly
On League of Nations

DR.. William J. Wilkinson, profess
sor of history at Colby college, con-
tinued his course of interesting talks
on current events at the supper OF
the Mems club of the Congregational
church in the church vestry last eve
ming. A delicious supper was served
by the Woman's Federation.
Before the doctor began his talk
there was a spirited discussion on
evolution during which many Of the
members voiced their views.
For the most part the speaker
talked of the League of Nations and
he differentiated between the league
and the league council, the latter be-
ing divided into an upper council OF
five seats for the five most powerful
nations of the world and lower
council of six seats for the lesser
powers.
The seats Of the upper council are
now occupied by England, France.
Italy and Japan and they are per-
manent. The six seats of the lower
council are permanent and five
of them are taken at present by
Spain, Brazil, Czecho- Slovakia and
Sweden. DR.. Wilkinson stressed the
importance of having the council
small If it is to do its work effective
Iy, as no decision Is possible without
a unanimous vote.
The whole trouble at Geneva a
short time ago. he explained. was the
demand made by number of nations
at one time for a seat on the upper
council, among them being Spain,
Brazil, Poland and China.
The blame for starting the dissen-
ton the speaker laid to Poland, who
maintained that If GERMANY was to
be awarded a~seat she would demand
one, too. England and France. the
doctor said, had entered into a secret
understanding with Poland that she
would be admitted to the council at
the same time as was Germany.
Germany has stubbornly opposed the
entrance Of Poland because the Ger
mans believe that the Poles would at
all times line up with France and be-
cause they believe such action would
be intended to be check upon them.
In this connection tn edoctor spoke
Of the border line between Germany
and Poland and he said it was a
sceene of potential warfare. AS
things now stand the DanZig CORR
dor, a possession of Poland, divides
Germany into two distinct units, an
arrangement which the Germans will
never. tolerate.
Sweden, feeling that the admission
of Poland would lessen the effective
ness of the league, has intimated that
she will veto her joining and in this
the doctor declared Sweden to be ac-
tuated by the highest motives and
to be leading all the other nations
of the world in moral courage. He
went on to say that Sweden has

tel last night. following a banquet,
in which 119 business men and wo-

and abandoned farms in this part Of
Maine. and the opportunities afford
ed for the establishment of such
homes or summer cottages.
Another important object Is the
improvement of the roads leading to
and from Pennington and vicinity,
other than those which have already
been improved, of which there are
many, including roads leading to
what might easily and inexpensively
be made desirable summer desort
property. Still another object is to
