FRANCE SLABS
AT GERMANY IN
ARMS PROPOSAL
Equality With Victorious
Powers Impossible,
Says Note.

BIZ United Press
PARIS. July 22.-security will be
Frances demand at the proposed
ornaments conference at Geneva
next February.
In a bold definition Of policy, the
government issued a disarmament
memorandum which left little doubt
where France stands.
The memorandum In twelve sail
ent points, declared that France
must have a mobility of land forces
equal to the movement of protect
I've nayies Of great sea powers. Any
attempt to make uniform equaliza-
ton Of each states armed forces
should be excluded from the Geneva
parley, France. maintained.
Germany and other nations
affected by the World war treaties
must not, in other words, contems
plate equality Of arms with the VIC
torious powers.
Confirms to League Treaty
A resume of the memorandum
follows:
French policy confirms strictly to
treaties and doctrines defined by
successive assemblies of the League
of Nations.
France observes that in a sys-
tenn Of international solidarity such
as the League, reduction of arma-
ments can be proportionately i'm
portant in the ratio to mutual as
sistance which eventually must be
organized against an aggressor.
The maximum Of ornaments as
fixed by certain treaties may not
necessarily be observed as standards
for other countries.
Arms Limit Must Be Set
A general limitation and reduc-
ton Of ornaments must be estab-
hshed at minimum standards, ac-
cording to the geographic position
Of each country with consideration
of special conditions of national Sc
curity.
Three times invaded in one CEN
tury, France must dispose of her
land forces with the same rapidity
OF movement as the great powers
dispose of their protective navies.
Defense OF the metrop Titan ter
ritory, together with maintenance
of security of the flung colo
mics, creates an interdependence of
land, sea and air forces which must
play decisive role in the general
policy of security.
Points to Reductions
The French government has not
ed an improvement of security con-
ditions in Europe and spontaneous
ly has reduced the naval and aerial
programs, and since 1921 has re-
duced by go per cent the number
of trained electives Immediately
available for the defense of the
metropolitan territory.
The problem of general limita-
ton Of ornaments, much more po-
litical than technical, will not be
solved by barometric schedules, by.
arbitrary percentages or by empiric
adjustments.

A state and federal corn borer
 patrol has been placed about 200
 yards west of the Waterbury Coun-
 try club on the Middlebury road

 of this patrol that one has been placed so close to the city. This will

Mrs. Ethel M. Donnelly was given D divorce from Matthew P. Don- nelly on grouns of cruelty in de- pision rendered in superior court his morning by Judge Arthur F. clls.

HEALTH DEPT
 i ISSUES WARNING
Calls Attention to Danger of Using Roadside
 Drinking Water
MANY SIGNS POSTED

Connecticut's state health de. partment and highway department to day issued warning jointly to motorists, campers and picnicker. against the use of roadside drink ing water supplies which are not definitely marked as Safe" by the officially posted sign of those de. partments.
 Health C. .artment officials em phasize this warning with the amazing statement that there arc less than a dozen of the scores and scores of springs and wells along Connecticut highway that have been accorded a safe rating.
 All.of the roadside supplies with the exception of these few have been found upon inspection by the health department either to be al- ready polluted with disease carry ing bacteria or to be of such char acter and location that they are subject to contamination at any time. In practically all instances, however. the contamtnating germs were found to be already mt in the water.
 Each year, the health depart ment inspects the locations of Wa ter supplies which are taken to the laboratories of the department for chemical and meteorological analy- ses. These quickly reveal the ex- isting condition of the water. but even though they show no trace of pollution, 1t is not a sign that the supply Is safe. Surrounding conditions count heavily. A well or spring may be so loacted as to be subject to drainage from sew age, garbage, cattle, etc. A brook IS subject to contamination throughout its course, since both the stream and it's drainage area are exposed to the danger of chance pollution. The surround tngs thus largely determine the possibilities of future danger, there fore no roadside brooks are recommended as safe drinking water supplies.
 When reports of roadside SUD- plies are submitted by the health department, the highway depart ment then proceeds to post those supplies which have been found safe. A substantial sized wooden sign Is used for this. The sign is white and carries black lettering. It Is labeled drinking water" and 1t carries beneath this caption a card showing the result of the health departments 1891 inspec- ton. Water taken from sources which do not bear the up-to-date safe rating should be boiled before using. When water from city or town supplies is available, t should be used in preference to that from any other source, since its purity is assured by constant supervision.

and Litchfield counties and all roads north and west leading from the towns of Wolcott, Waterbury, Naugatuck, Beacon Falls. Seymour. Shelton. Trumbull, Easton, Weston and Wilton. A year ago 34 highways were under surveillance for the borer. All of Connecticut is under quarantine for the two-generation borer, except Litchfeld and New Haven counties.
 Traffic on the Boston Post road through Connecticut is not subject to corn borer patrol, since the en- tire length is under quarantine.
 Most of the larger cities and towns in the state lie within the regulated area, and farmers are thus not cut off from their accus- toned markets. Inspection and certification for the corn borer may be obtained in Waterbury, South Norwalk, Stamford, Bridgeport and New Haven. Field inspection will be made if it Is necessary.
