Optimism Still Present

London, April P-Professio of optimism heard in some quarters that five power limitation treaty still may be achieved here were talk en by most naval conference observ- CTS today with a grain of salt.
 Few of them saw how anything more than three power treaty of limitation was possible, since there was abundant indication-if no oth- CT obstacles existed--that Italy will not give up her contention for par ity with France, and France stead- lastly has refused even to consider such an arrangement.
 Aristide Briand, French foreign minister, after a conference with Prime Minister Macdonald yester- day, told newspaper men that an agreement had been reached with the British delegation on an inter- pretation of Article XVI of the League Of Nations covenant which France might construe as granting her the desired security and that negotiations for a five power treaty were being continued. M. Briand and Mir. Macdonald were to meet again this evening and continue their dis cussions. It was understood to have been M. Briand's position that France would not enter into less than a five power treaty, since to do so might endanger French relations with Italy.
 Explain Briand Attitude
 In certain Italian quarters M. Bri- ands optimism for five power treaty brought the commend that France had conveniently come to agreement with Great Britain on Article XVI for the purpose of put ting herself back in good conference standing and of passing the onus for breaking up the conference on Italy
 The result, it was said, would bo that Frenchmen might say that Italy was responsible for the downfall of the conference, although well aware 1t was charged that the security ar rangement with Great Britain cannot bear fruit in a five power treaty since the Italian demand for parity is and will not be satisfied.
 
 lack of evidence or indication that M. Briand, obtaining the security he wanted, has offered substantial re- duction in the French naval pro- gram. It was recalled that Frances insistence on naval tonnage by the end of 1886 considered out of line with the British and American lev els, unless there were definite con- sessions to guarantee her security against attack, presented the confer ence with its first real crisis, and one which might have eliminated France from any naval treaty even if there had been no Franco-1talian problem to bring further complica- tions.
 One Point Remains
 Meanwhile one point was said to- day to have remained outside agree ment in the context of three power treaty, which Colonel stimson, and MT. Wakatsuki and Mir. Macdonald practically completed yesterday. That was the Japanese wish to transfer 20,O00 destroyer tons to submarine classification. Mir. Wakatsuki was not insistent and the matter will be dis Cussed further today.
 An important step was taken with approval by the first committee of the conference of the agreement on humanizaton of submarines. The agreement states:
 "The following arc accepted as established rules of international law:
 "G) In their action with regard 10 merchant ships, submarines must conform to the rule of international

FRANCE EXPRESSES
 THANKS FOR PLAN
Gratfed With League Interpre- tation-Ready to Talk Tonnage

London, April R@France hay ing expressed satisfaction regarding the security accorded her by the British interpretation of article 16 of the covenant of the League of Nations, French and British experts today got down to discussion of how much could be Topped off the French naval tonnage figures.
 The British want the French to slash about 100000 tons from the 724,000 tonnage originally claimed but such reduction is causing a raising of eyebrows among the French delegation.
 Two Tackle Problem
 However, Jacques Dumesnil French minister of marine, and A V. Alexander, first lord of the ad. miralty, tackled this big problem, this forenoon and it was expected Brine Minister Macdonald and For. eign Minister Briand would again meet today to discuss the latest situation.
 Interlocked with the Anglo French question was the Italian at titude since the British do not wsl to conclude a security pact witt France unless Italy participates ir some form. Both Foreign Minister Briand and the British prime minis ter were to have met Dino Grandi chief Italian delegate, this morning but Grandi developed a bad chil and entrusted matters to the Italian ambassador. This left matter somewhat in the air since Grandi', approval is necessary for any vita decision.
 It has been expected that toda, might determine whether there wa any use continuing to strive for { f1ve-power pact, but in view o Grandis illness this decision ma, be delayed.
 Election News Received
 News that Mrs. Ruth Hanna Nc Cormick had won the Illinois sena torial primary race was of more in terest to large part of the Ameri can delegation than was the day conference work. The entire dele gation has been watching the con test closely.
 It was stated at American head quarters tha. the delegation's mai interest centered in the fact tha Mrs Mccormick opposed the worl, court and there was much specula tion whether the vote indicated tn midwest attitude towards tnterna tlonal questions such as the consul tatlve pact which is still in the of ling at the London conference.
 Further details of the electio, were eagerly awaited so as to en ! able the delegation to form an opin ion whether the vote could be talk en as a midwest barometer con corning involving the United State : In international obligations.

LARA HOME AT BURTON SOLD TO

Last week, the beautiful home of

REROUTrNG THE vAsHoN RURAL
MAIL ROUTE

Because many families living some
distance from the route, and others
who could get no mall service at all, 1t
was decided that by re-rounting of
the entire route, those people could
either be benefited or receive the
service they were asking for.
So Mr.. Thompson, the carrier, work.
ed out the new routing which benefits
about seventy families, and adds no
cost to the Post Office Department. for
this better service.
In working out the new route many
retraces are done away with, due to
new roads having been built.
After the new route was carefully
gone over 1t was presented to the Post
Office Department. and accepted and
authorized to begin Monday, June 10th.
When the carrier leaves the post
office in the morning, he will take all
the mail, and not return to the office
until finished with the route.
In some instances, those living on the
West Side will receive their mail about
one and half hours earlier, than at
present, while no one will receive their
mail but very little later than at pre-
sent.
Those affected will be notified Of the
change In time to move their boxes to
the new locations.
Patrons wishing their mail at the
post office must call about $50 a. m.
In connection with the rural service,
Mr.. Thompson, the carrier, is making
an effort to interest the route patrons
to group boxes as much as possible all
on one post or on racks, when several
can be arranged together. All mail
boxes should be placed four feet above
the bottom of the mail box.
1t is just as easy to place mail box
right as to place them in an I'M
slightly manner as is so often done.
The postal laws require that letters
be, stamped ready for mailing, but
should 1t be necessary to leave money
in the box for stamps, it must be left
in the coin cup on the side of the box
or in cup left in the box for that
purpose, and then such money is left
at the patrons risk.
The Post Office Department dis
courages the practice Of placing
temptation in the way of those who are
tempted to rifle mail boxes and asks
that patrons meet the carrier and buy
their orders and supplies from the
carrier. This applies to all routes.
A new ruling effective July /, 1929,
requiring new boxes and new patrons
on the route must buy the large size
box known as No. 2. The boxes will
hold most ordinary sized packages and
is protection to parcel post packages
at all seasons.

Norwesians Gave Island
Audience a Great Treat

Undoubtedly the concert given Sum
day afternoon at the Island Club by
members of the Norwegian Male
Chorus was the greatest musical treat
ever accorded the residents Of vashon
/ Island
Under the expert direction Of
Rudolph Moller, veteran chorus leader,
the thirty voices responded as one as
they sang not only the folks songs Of
native Norway but English, American
and Swedish songs as we'll. The solo
work by the two men who claim not
to be professionals would put to shame
some who claim to be artists.
It Is impossible to comment on the
outstanding features Of the afternoons
program, for each number was perfect.
An expression of deep appreciation is
due Rev. Peterson for his part in bring
ing these, his friends, to the Island,
and for his faith that the people Of
vashon Island would appreciate the
great privilege they enjoyed. With
scarcely no warning. and little time for
selling tickets, or advertising the affair
fair sized audience was on hand.
Through the activities of Gordon Moe,
who took charge of the sales enough
tickets were sold to cover the expenses
Of bringing the chorus to the Island,
and their entertainment.
Although asked to prepare for only
thirty persons Mrs. o. L. Evans took
care Of the fifty visitors In the crowd
of singers, and their families, and
every one went away satisfied that
vashon Island has unlimited hospital
ity as well as scenic beauty. Chas.
England, president Of the Commercial
Club. not only was called upon to act
as official host but also showed his
ability when 1t comes to helping to
feed hungry visitors.
There Is not a doubt that when they
are again invited to come to the Is
land the entire chorus will gladly ac-
cept the invitation, and 1t is a fore
gone conclusion that after the concert
Island music lovers enjoyed on Sum
day that upon their return the singers
will be greeted by a capacity audi
ence.
