FAST JORDAN HIGH
OUTFIT HERE FOR
GAME WITH CONY

The Cony high baseball team,
which has fon five straight games
this season under the tutelage OF
Coach Israel Pierce, will get a hard
test this afternoon at three O'Clock
on Williams Field. Jordan High OF
Lewiston, which dropped a 10 ver-
dict to Cony early in the week, was
not wholly pleased with the result
and established the claim that If the
game had gone a few more innings
there would have been nothing to it
but Lewiston.
Scribner, Lewiston first string pit
cher, was on the mound Wednesday
and was nicked for four solid blows
so that it is probable that he will
be given a rest this afternoon while
the work on the mound will be done
by Giguere. a husky, speed ball pit
cher from the freshman class at Jor-
dan. Giguere is touted as a conner
and several other good exhibitions
this year have given him worlds of
confidence.
Confidence however will not be of
much use against the Cony team.
The Red and White have been 60

ball hard and often. SO it would ap-
pear that Mr.. Giguere is in for a
busy afternoon on the Williams Field
rubber. Opposing Giguere will be
Parquette, who has given the Cony
team some good hurting this season.
Parquette has worked at Brewer and
at Waterville and his work was very
satisfactory.
Squanto Wilson, who has cavorted
around the first sack on Williams
Field enough times to know how the
ground lies will be the chief arbitrator
and the game should move along
smoothly under his management. The
game will be started at o'clock and
with the team going at its present
pace the game should be we'll at

How to Secure World Peace

Out. .of-the.way peoples do not count

The question really is then how to
avoid disturbing with war the great
world. the world Of civilization and
activity.
From the past we know that peace
between nations may be. has some

Firstly: BY non-intercourse. Pos

Secondly: BY like-thinking. agree

cause war. Equally impossible. not

Men and nations. even Of kindred

to what constitutes the commorest
things, as interest. right. wrong, JUS

life be SO devoted to themselves that
avoidance Of conflict. voluntary agree
ment, concord on any subject of real,

as the world stands.

There have. of course. been differ

History shows little long continued

fcrefinger significantly on his lips
and the French lady laughed no more.
And when all is said and done, it is
impossible to laugh at Fascismo, even
if at moments it recalls Guatemala
more than Imperial Rome and the
comics rather than the Caesars. In
describing it one can easily catalogue
and emphasize what is absurd and
preposterous. What one cannot even
approximately catch is the enormous
force and vitality of the thing. the
sheer violence. Yet when one thinks
of 1t afterward, the ridiculous circum-
stances more and more recede and
one recalls rather the extraordinary
things which combine to disclose Mus
solini as truly great man and Fas-
cismo as one of the worlds great and
significant revolutions.
Finally one has the sense not of a
revolution completed, but beginning;
not of a force which will spend itself
in Italy. but may easily have a mean

Britain from the sympathetic social

strike did not last long enough to
cause the loss of foreign markets. nor
to cause permanent dislocations in
domestic trade or industry. Winston

the budget was little affected by it.
1t is true. to be sure. that it has

ready the necessity faced the en-
ployers of gradually dropping their
superfuous hands. should the miners
strike continue. Merely the burden
of their support is suddenly instead of

On a balance the commonwealth is
not affected. But thanks to continu-

general lines of Sir Herbert Samuels

These proposals contemplate wage
reductions to be determined by

that no wage revisions should begin
to run before iron-clad guarantees
should be given the miners that re-
