BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 28.-De-
claring that the old capitalist par
ties are both enemies of the work
ing class and that the so-called So
cialists are party to the political
confidence game being played on the
workers, the New England Election
Campaign Committee of the Work
ers (Communist) Party has issued
a call for a conference at which
the militant elements of the labor
movement in that section will unite
their forces against the parties of
the capitalist class.
The district conference will take
place Sunday, October IA, at
o'clock in the afternoon
"The two big parties are spend
ing millions to bluff the masses.
There are no real political differ
ences between the republican and
democrat parties. Both are the enc

Smith are the candidates of big

will win regardless of which of the
two are elected.

berg, chairman of the committee.
Take Up Challenge.
Trachtenberg said: "The ruling
class of Nebraska, fearing the eff
feet of Communist propaganda on
the exploited workers and farmers
of the state, decided to make use
of every means to throw the Com
munist ticket off the ballot. With
this aim in view they put up the
fascist Veterans of Foreign Wars
and the ike-breaking American
Legion to protest against the ap-
pearance of the Communist ticket
on the ballot on the ground that the
Party was 'un-American' and sub
versive.'

docs Not Mean Death
of Anglo French
Pact" BRAND
u. S. Notes Delivered
| Admit Pact Applies to
! Land Forces
(Bu United Press J


PARIS, Sept. %. - The
American reply to the French
English naval agreement, while
apparently unfavorable, is not
regarded by France as mean
ing the death of the agreement.
Foreign Minister Aristide BRAND,
after reading the American note
closely, said to the United Press:
"The American attitude las been
known in France for several days,
but I do not consider the discussion
closed as long as France, England,
and probably other nations, support
the European viewpoint on naval
disarmament"
Imperialist Clash.
The American note was delivered
to Philippe Berthelot, secretary of
the foreign office, at 1890 p. m. to-
day without comment. 1t expresses
the American attitude toward the
position taken by England and
France in favor of no limitation on
small cruisers and submarines.
A high official of the foreign Of
flee pointed out that the United
States makes not even the slightest
concession in the note to the Eur
opean viewpoint, but attempts to
dominate the other nations" New
ertheless, he continued, the Ameri-
can note near its end reopens the
door to a proposal by France or any
nation for definite limitation, both
by tonnage and numbers, of craft
of all categories.
No Reply.
The official expressed the opinion
that there is no need for haste, as
naval disarmament experts already
have months of work ahead, which
they now will study with the new
expression of American views in
mind.
Neither France nor England, it
was said, would reply Immediately
to the American note, as the sub
iect will be handled with a view to
possible notifications by the for
eign offices concerned.
PARIS, Sept. % U.H.-It was ad-
mitted in official circles, after
weeks of denials, that the question
of land armaments was included in
the Anglo-French agreement.
The admission was that at least
a "moral promise" exists between
England and France by which Eng
land supports the French views re-
garding land armaments, especially
extensive fortification of the French
frontier and the maintenance of
French troops in her colonies. 1t
was insisted that nothing had been
put in writing, although the land
agreement was considered an essen
tial part of the naval accord.
The apparent determination of
France to maintain her naval and
military agreement with Great Bri-
tain will undoubtedly intensity the
bitter struggle for power which is
now going on between the United
States and her chief imperialist
rival, Great Britain.
The agreement is primarily direct
ed against the United States and
grows out of the conflict over war
debts and the bitter imperialist
struggle for raw materials, colonies
and markets.

WILLIAM NTLHOLLAND

wave of sympathy has swept over California
for William Muholland, the venerable chief engineer
of the Los Angeles water board who had general
charge of The construction of st. Francis dam.
To the natural weight of four years is added
the grief occasioned by the loss of hundreds of lives,
and the knowledge that in the of his life of the
works in which he participated the cause of that
loss.
At the coroners inquest the engineer declared that
the only he envies those who victims of
the disaster.
While the people of California demand that
thorough investigation be made to ascertain the cause
of the tragedy and that if any found guilty of
negligence they shall be punished the feeling almost
general that Mulhoand used every care consistent
with good engineering, in building and maintaining the
dam.
His reputation and character such that his
words carry weight far beyond that of the average
man. He knows dams perhaps we'll any in
the world few there ready to condemn him but
these are the thoughtess ready to judge
without knowing the facts.
Those who know him know that he would far rath-
die single death for every victim of the st. Francis
disaster than that any fault of his should be respon
sible for it.

THE READING EPIDEMIC

Believing that the clientele of this company
would appreciate being able to obtain the books
first, it launches upon this venture.
Among a number of advantages in this rental
library is the fact that there will be minimum of
waiting for there is to be goody number of copies
of each book that is in demand.
THE fiction the biographies will be
here the moment they released by the publishers
So in part reads the newspaper advertisement
of store that formerly dealt only in women's and
childrens wearing apparel, but has recently opened
a circulating library.
Why circulating library in such store?
asks in surprise. Simply because reading is the
rent fad. Rental libraries sprnging up in all
sorts Of places Every neighborhood has its book
shop-or shoppe- and all have their pay libraries.
The public libraries doing bigger business than
before but they meet the demand for the
latest books right off the press Their waiting lists
long that hordes of readers who willing to
pay one, two three cents day for book turn to
the rental libraries for service.
And what is it all about? Thirst for knowledge
and culture? Partly. But chiefly, it seems to
thoughtful questioner, it is the desire to follow the
crowd. If it possible to the homes of
city, would find surprising similarity in the
of the end tables in house after house and fiat
after fiat. Everybody is reading the books at
the same time, or nearly the time the cir
culating libraries make possible.
Publishers and authors and renting libraries
should make hay while the shines. Reading Just
is too feverish process to last indefinitely in
its present state.

end of my burrow. | came in to tell
YOU about him so you wouldn t be
afraid.
"'But why do they leavJ this
beautiful marble statue of a Bear
buried in the ground'" asked
Bunty.
cit is very old statue, l sup
pose, said Parma "Italv is a
very old country. Many years ago
the people made statues and then
came earthquakes and eruptions OF
y olcanocs or smoking mountains and
whole cities were covered with dirt
and ashes. Where we have our bur
rows was once city and l suppose
this Bear statue was part of it..
Maybe the people who built a new
city on the ruins of the old one
don't know this Bear is down here.
Some day he may be dug up.
"Well, as long ut it is only \
white, marble Bear he will not harm
us, >, said Uncle Wiggily. SO he dag
more with his paws, making the
back of the burrow larger so Nallic
and Bunty could sleep in it, And
soon they went to bed, close to the
buried white marble Bear, who kept
watch over them all night.
Uncle Wiggily curled up in the
front of the burrow, after sitting
with Mr.. Parma for time and cat
ing some Italian lettuce, and almost
before Buntv and Nallie knew it
morning had come.
Where are we going today =
they asked as they found some clvv-
er leaves for breakfast.
Mr.. Parma is going to let me
take his balloon airship and we are
going for ride, said Uncle Wig
gily. Soon lrc and the little bunny
girls were in the airship, which was
made of a clothes basket with some
toy circus balloons fastened to it. Up
IN the air they sailed and soon the
wind was blowing them across
Italy. They could look down anu
sec the green country, where grapes
were growing. Soon they sailed over
a beautiful city. And Bunty, look
ing down, cried out
Look! Look, The streets are
filled with wafer. See the water
streets. There must be a flood
Uncle Wiggily looked over the
edge of the clothes basket and
laughed as he said: eyes, those ar.
water streets, all right, but it ism I
a flood. This is Venice, most beau
tiful Italian city. We shall go down
2nd see those water streets.
Nallic and Bunty wondered how
they could walk in water streets
hut they said nothing, waiting for
what was next to happen. And if
the sugar spoon will take slice
IF bread for a ride in the gravy
boat | shall tell you tomorrow about
Uncle Wiggily and the smoking

believed that he is suffering fror,

apprehended late Wednesday night
on the railroad tracks by Patrolman
Seebcrg and was unable to give
much of an account of himself at
headquarters. He had been temper
arily booked for vagrancy but upon

yesterday afternoon the case was
submitted to county authorities.
In the ease of j. f. Delaney, who
was found by police lying ON the

Fourth and Fifth streets, late We'd

condition, the judge imposed a fine
of $25 and gave the man suspended
sentence. Delaney was pronounced
crunk by a physician to whom he
was taken to have a head injuv
treated and was locked up.
Police were informed that man
had struck Delaney and then stepp-
ing into a car departed, leaving
Delaney lying on the sidewalk where
he had fallen. Search for the man
has thus far failed to reveal his
identity.
Frank Arjilo of FL Centre who was
locked up pending investigation into
the breaking into the PigglN~Wiggily
warehouse near Fourth street was
released by police. One of the two
small boys captured in the act of
smashing their way into the place
was son of Arjilo and his story
relative to his son s conduct was
not satisfactory to police The goods
taken from the warehouse, however,
were returned yesterday afternoon
and there was no direct evidence to
show that the man had had knowl-
edge as to the source from which
the youngster had obtained the
goods. The capture of the Youngsters
was made after the warehouse had
been entered several times.
