ITALY ALSO WILL REJECT PROPOSAL
 FOR ARMS FARLEY
(Continued From First Page)

Britain, but obviously the attitude of Great Britain may now be affect ed by the position of France and Italy.
 Await Other Replies
 For the moment it is unlikely that any plan of action will be formu- lated here in the absence of. the British and Japanese formal replies.
 The French communication was based on the main contention that the American plan might compro- mise the success of the preliminary disarmament commission created by the League of Nations. Whether its tenor has left room for hope that further correspondence with Paris might create better understanding ofthe American suggestions was not disclosed. Secretary Kellogg prob ably will defer decision in that re- gard until the Italian reply is be- fore him.
 The statement issued by MT. Kel- logg last night calling attention to evidences of misunderstanding in Paris did not go beyond expressing tho hope of ultimate French agree ment. The Italian note may offer similar possibilities to the official eye; but the immediate effect of the Rome announcement is the creation of an added obstacle to any propos- al for limiting cruiser destroyer and submarine tonnage in accordance with the Washington treaty theory or of reconciling that theory with French and Italian views.

URGE ADOPTION
 0F PENSION BILL
New Britain Residents Send
 Petition to Cong. Tenn
BY GEORGE B. MANNING


 Washington Bureau of the N. B. Herald)
 Washington, D. C., Feb. 16-Im- mediate passage of the bill which would provide for increased pen sions for Civil war veterans and their widows is asked in several pe- titions from residents of Hartford county which were laid before the House of Representatives by Con- gressman E. Hart Fenn of Hartford.
 The Congressman presented five petitions. one signed by 30 citizens of New Britain, one by 54 residents of Southington, one by 39 residents Of Manchester. one by 16 citizens Of Hartford and one by five citizens of Glastonbury.
 All of these petitions urged that congress take immediate steps to bring to vote the pending Civil war pension bill, in order that fur ther relief might be accorded to needy and suffering veterans and their widows. The petitions were re- ferred to the house committee on invalid pensions.
 The bill now before congress, which. it is believed, will be passed without serious opposition, would provide increases Of pensions from $50 to $50 month for every widow who was married to a veteran Of the Civil war prior to June 27, 1905. The measure was introduced by Congressman Elliott of Indiana. Last July. Congress passed bill increas- Ing the pensions of veterans widows who were married to the veterans during the period of their service in the Civil war. In reporting the pending bill to the house, Congress- man Swoope of Pennsylvania, chair man Of the committee on invalid pensions, declared that the widows married subsequently, were just as deserving Of increased pensions as the former class

Opinion of League

Geneva, Switzerland, Feb. 16 LP- lnsistence upon maintaining intact the power and authority of the League of Nations, with scrupulous regard for the wishes of all the member states, both great and small, is the interpretation in league cir cles of Frances reply to Washington in which she refuses to consider participation in new naval confer ence limited to the five big naval powers.
 Officials here, while favoring a five-power pact, believe that the United States, with it's position of independence and isolation between two oceans. neglects to give suffi- cient importance to the relations either of mere friendship or open alliance existing between numerous countries in Europe. or to the diff culty one nation finds in adopting action on naval armaments without taking into consideration the desires of smaller countries who are also interested in smaller warcraft such as submarines and destroyers.
 Frances reply is believed to leave the fate of the American proposal to the preparatory disarmament commission, where the American delegates will have an opportunity to argue the practicability of a con- ference of the big powers as the first concrete step toward general reduc- tion of ornaments.
 The French memorandum, fol- lowing Europe's refusal to accept the American world court reserva- tion. is also regarded in league cir cles as another manifestation of Eu- ropes beliefs that the United States must work through the league as q whole and not through it's individ- ual members if she desires to CO., operate effectively in Europe.

PUT TEETH IN
SPRAYING LAW
May Destroy Unsprayed
Orchards if Disease
Infected

Many orchards in the Yakima
and Wenatchee districts, as well
as in the Kennewick-P rosser To-
cality, will have to conform with
spraying regulations or be declar.
ed "public nuisance" and destroy
ed, as the result of provisions in
House Bill No. 240. which has
been signed by Gov. Hartley. J. /.
Griner, state supervisor of horti-
culture, said the department would
seek strict enforcement of the new
law.
"Under the present law, many
orchards have been sprayed three
or four years without paying"
Mr.. Griner explained. "Under the
new law, orchards not sprayed for
two years or orchards that have
been sprayed two years without
payment can be declared a public
nuisance and destroyed"
Mr.. Griner said the change in
law was important and essential to
the health of the fruit-growing in
dustry.
