Rear Admiral Hilary p. Jones in.
formed the British correspondents
tonight that the United States is
earnestly desirous of attaining the
goal of real limitation of naval arma-
ments from the standpoint of inter-
national good will and economics.
Admiral Jones added that the
American delegation, of which he is
one, had come to Geneva with no
idea of trying to get advantage of
anybody, but was merely seeking
in fair minded way a real and
equitable agreement
Hugh S. Gibson, president of the
American delegation has arrived here,
accompanied by Allen W. Dulles.
Mr.. Gibson will be elected president
OF the conference, though this will
not prevent him from participating
in the debate as chief representative
of America.
The Japanese Admiral Saito is due
here tomorrow from Paris, while the
British delegation is expected Satur-
day or Sunday. Reports from Japan
indicate that the widespread interest
is even greater there than in the
Washington conference.

M. Brands illness and his sudden
departure today for Paris not only
interrupted the private conversations
between the foreign ministers, but
cast a gloom over the council pro-
ceedings. These continued apathetic-
ally, with the endorsement by the
council of the excellent results OBJ
tanned at the recent international
economic conference.
The French delegation made extra
ordinary efforts to conceal the de-
parture of M. BRAND hoping thereby
to avoid the assembling of a crowd
at the Paris railroad station tonight,
as the foreign minister is fatigued
and is sensitive about his appearance.
His head today was swathed in
bandages. He is suffering from
Herpes zona (shingles). There is an
eruption on the left side of the head
and the eye is closed. The condi-
ton is attributed to overwork and
nervous strain, sand M Brands

rest is imperative.

lions and to support various things
for the benefit of the fire department.
The company is grateful for the
splendid support it has received and
deeply appreciates the hearty cooper
alton that has made the present equip
ment possible. They realize, however,
as does every thinking citizen, that
more than financial cooperation is nee
essary if the emergency of fire is to
be dealt with in the most effective
manner.
You are especially urged to give
particular attention to the following
! requests:
Do not congregate at or about the
fire house when the siren is sounded.
Do not under any circumstances get
on the fire trucks when the same are
| enroute to a fire unless you are a
member of the volunteer department
and under instructions from the chief
or assistant chief.
Do not park your car in a block
where a fire is located.
Please obey strictly the following
order of the Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles, and please note that vio-
lation of this order carries penalty
of the revocation of your drivers IL
cense:
st is unlawful for any person in
! the operation of a motor vehicle to
obstruct any fire engine, hose truck
hook-and-l ladder truck or other fire
apparatus proceeding to a fire, and all
motor vehicles shall Immediately, up
on being warned of the approach of
such fire apparatus, give the same the
right of way. Violations of this or

FINZEL SCENE OF EARLY
MORNING CONFEDERATION
Francis Mckenzie, Merchant and
Postmaster. Barely Escaped
From Burning Building.

At Finzel, Garrett county, early on
last Thursday morning the store
building owned by Francis Mckenzie,
in which was also located the village
postoffice, was entirely consumed by
fire, entailing considerable loss to the
owner.
Mckenzie, who had sleeping apart
ments on the second floor, barely had
time to escape. 1t is thought that the
fire was burning for at least an hour
before he was aroused from his sleep
about three o'clock. Besides being
postmaster he operated a general
store, having recently purchased the
business from Irwin Steinla, who re-
moved from Finzel to LaVale, near
Cumberland.
The burned building was compare
lively new and was valued at $4,000,
while the stock of goods contained
within the building was valued at
$1,000. Mr.. Mckenzie carried $4,000
insurance on the stock. All the post
Office supplies We're also destroyed, in
GLIDING 5000 in stamps. The postof-
flee loss is placed at $500.
The origin Of the fire is unknown.
The building was heated with stoves.
Residents of the little town could do
slight work toward staying the fire.
After forming bucket-brigade with
four members of the Frostburg Fire
Department. who responded with the
motor truck, they were handicapped
by the lack of water.

the building of the dam.
Contracts of the Arundel Corpora

til the present Legislature had con-
sidered the project; conferences be-

ing to the dam and the supplying of
current to Pennsylvania, would come
in for scrutiny, as would the failure of
the Maryland Public Service Commits
sion to insist upon or protect the
right to have electricity generated at
Conowingo brought into Maryland.

proposed committee all the necessary
powers to carry on its inquiry, and
provides that should it be unable to
