The significance OF the signing oil
such a treaty seems to be confined
to two main points:
l. This would be the first treaty
of its kind between two great pow
ers, though by no means the first
such treaty affecting two smaller
nations.
g. The so-called crop OF hate
which has grown up against us ir
Europe seems to center mere or less
l.ebulously on the debts OF European
nations to this country, OF which
ne French debt is the biggest.
80 Treaties Signed
Some 80 OF these treaties definitely
cutlawing war between the two con-
tracting nations have been Signeo
since Denmark began the good Worl;
with the Netherlands III 1904. These
treaties cover all disputes OF what
ever cause or nature and leave none
OF the legal possibilities Tor war
which remain in many other treaties
between nations.

WASHINGTON. = Foreign Minister
Briand of France appears to have
been crying in the wilderness when
he proposed a treaty which would
forever outlaw war between his
country and the United States.
Thus far there has been no all
swering holler from any OF our own
statesmen and it appears likely that
if any comes at all it will be heard
in the next congress.
BRAND is quoted as saying:
France is willing publicly to ell
gage itself with the United States
to put war as between the two
countries outside the pale OF the
law"

More Truth Than Poetry

THE LURE OF THE HOME.
* ''V' :, TS~ cAlSas rmusN


When autumn gales begin to blow,
The level headt song birds go
To sunny lands
And palm flinged strands
To spend the winter season; ,
And there, they lark and romp and sing
Until the coming of the Spring
Warns shore and sea,
Which proves to me
That some birds really reason.
But when TIE tern is on his way
From some bleak ice-bound Greenland bay,
He cries "Good luck"
TO gull and duck
To goose and grebe and gannet,
And be the weather foul or calm
He sails far over pine and palm
Through chilly skies
Until lie flies
Hall way around the planet
And in some six or eight weeks time
He finds another frigid cline
Where icebergs growl
And blizzards howl
And days are sharp and snappy;
And iii that rough environment
He doubtless sighs in calm content,
And says Dear, dear,
When am here
/ know 1 shall be happy"
My neighbc1s back from overseas
Found nothing that their taste could please;
Their way they went
In discomfort
And filled with vague disquiet,
They found the landscape over there
Uninteresting as the fare
And pjned and yearned
Till they returned ~

Natives On Rampage.

Peking, Jan. 5 R1Official dis patches from Hankow, where the British colony is being besieged by thousands ol infuriated Coolies with anti-foreign sentiments, show the situation is growing increasingly serious and indicate that the angry natives are out of control of the Chinese military forces which un- dertook to maintain order.
 Virtually all barricades to the concession have been destroyed and a consuar dispatch says the British Bund, the principal thoroughfare for foreigners along the water front there, is "unsafe for foreign ers." It adds that "the situation is very discouraging."
 German Is Wounded.
 A German citizen was stabbed and seriously wounded Monday by agi- tators within the British concession.
 The British armed forces, feeling that it would have been impossible to hold the masses without firing, retired, leaving the concession in charge of Cantonese troops. The British war memorial opposite the consulate was damaged and all bar ricades at entrances to the conces- sion were demolished.
 Concession Invaded.
 As a result of a conference yes- terday between British and Chinese authorities, aby which maintenance of order was left to the Chinese, British marines were not landed, which consequently left the barri- cades unguarded. The Coolies ap- parently acting under an organized plan, removed the barricades by sec tions and by 5:30 p. m., gradual in-
 May Use Force.
 The available British armed force was inadequate to deal with the sit uation. and had 1t not retired in all probability it would have been over whelmed, with great resultant danger to the civil population. Brit ish authorities feel that if the marines land again there will be an immediate crisis necessitating the use of force.
 In some circles there is disposi- tion to regard the demonstration as having been stage managed by the extremist section of the Cantonese government. The incident followed a demonstration Monday in which a handful of armed British held | bay thousands of Coolies without firing a shot when the natives be- sieged the concession entrance.
 However. despite the fact that firearms were not used 1t was charged Tuesday morning at mass of representatives of the governmental departments and of the unions that a number of the Coolies had been killed or wounded. 1 Speakers at the meeting urged the

GOVERNOR SMITHS ASSEMBLY MESSAGE
Wants Congress Memoriaized to
 Modify 18th Amendment

Albany, Jan. T - GoVernor Smith, in his annual message to the legislature today, urged that congress be memorialized to take immediate action to the end that harmless beverages which our peo- tle have enjoyed for more than a century may be restored to them. :"
 For Law Enforcement
 While advocating modification of the Volstead act, the governor said that until such modification is eff fective, the federal liquor laws are as much laws of this state as any state statute, and must be enforced.
 T again warn sheriffs and peace officers generally" he said, that it Is their sworn duty to enforce these laws. Failure to perform this duty will consider as serious an of- fense as a failure to enforce the state statutes"
 Other Suggestions
 Aside from the liquor question the governor, who announced in his inaugural address last Satur- day that he was receptive" con- corning the presidential nomination of the democratic party, predicted tax reduction and renewed former recommendations for legislation which a republican legislature had hitherto denied.
 "At the recent election" Gov. Smith said, concerning the prohibi- ton question. there was sub- mitted to a referendum of the peo- pie the question of whether or not they desired a modification of the federal statute giving force and effect to the eighteenth anend- ment of our federal constitution. By 1,164,5S6 majority. the people of the state of New York voted for modification of the statute.
 Would Advise Congress
 II believe that the duty now rests upon the legislature to pass suitable resolutions conveying in a formal manner the result of that vote to the congress of the United States and memorializing it on be- half of the state of New York to enact at the earliest possible mo- ment sane, sensible, reasonable definition of what constitutes an intoxicant under the eighteenth so that harmless bev- erages while our people have en- joyed for more than a century may be restored to them"
 The governor said an analysis of the requests of the various state for appropriation in dicated that the burden of the tax payers would be frightened "very much along the lines adopted at the last session of the legislature" when substantial cut in the per sonal income tax payments was made.
 Specific Recommendations
 Specific recommendations in- cluded:
 Conference of state and federal | officials to the end that arrange ments be made for the construc- tion of an all-American canal from Lake Ontario to the Hudson river.
 State development and control of ,tate-owned water-power resources, under direction of water-power | similar in it's organiza- ton and power to the New York i port authority.
 Abolition of motion picture cen 5orship.
 Enactment of a 4S-hour law for 1 and minors in industry.
 Four-year term for governor, | with the first election to be held n 1880, the terms of state senators 70 be four years and those of as- two years.
 Biennial sessions of the legisla- .ure, this proposal being contingent 1pon the four-year term for gov- srnor.
