OF these movements there should come

The Daily News makes the further COM
ment: I'VE need not be too discouraged
at the implication. The failure of the
committee to find an outstanding pro-
moter OF peace does not mean that the
peace movement is extinct. The other

ment in the fields of physics. chemistry.

times been withheld because no worthy
claimant appeared. 1t was not under

contends the Hazelton CPaD Standard

greatest contribution to the cause of
world peace, not for good intentions.
There were candidates but the world
rejected their platforms. The commit

This comes as a keen disappoint-
ment," concludes the Ashland Independ-
ent. ito such men as Arthur Henderson,
president Of the Disarmament Confer
ence; Prime Minister Ramsay MacDon-
aid and Mussolini, both of whom Of
tered plans, and the two living American
Presidents who have steadfastly worked
for peace. 1t is not because they have
not tried that nothing has been ac-
complished. Their consolation can be
found in the thought that perhaps the
EFFORTS OF last year and this year may

Franco German Approaches.

With the Disarmament Conference
consigned to Winter quarters, Europe S
present hour chief interest lies in
Franco-German gestures leading to an
understanding between the traditional
continental enemies.
Attention Is focused upon statements
in an interview given to a correspond
ent of LIE Matin at Berlin by Chan
cellor Hitler. Except by the organs Of
the die-hard Right. which will hear of
no reconciliation with the Germans
other than through the arbitrament Of
force, the French press welcomes the
chancellors olive branch with enthu-
siasm. "One would be mad" exclaims
the liberal Soir, ito disdain such pacific
offers"
The head Of the Nazi government was
quoted as saying that he would will
lingly do anything not involving dis
honor or danger to my country" to give
security to France. The chancellor
added that he is convinced that once
the question Of the Saar territory
(prospectively to be decided In Ger
many's favor by a self-determining
plebicite in the not distant future) has
been settled, there Is nothing, abso-
lutely nothing, which can oppose Ger
many to France" When Herr Hitler
was asked about Alsace-L Lorraine, he
retorted that he had said often enough
that the Germans have "renounced" it.
There appears to have been no refer
ence to the Polish Corridor in the in
terview or to the possibility that
Frances obligations to her Eastern
European ally might be cause Of war
between Germany and herself. The
Germans and the Poles are currently
reported to be negotiating to take the
Corridor out of the realm Of conflict.
French oficial opinion, always skepti-
cal Of peace overtures from the other
side of the Rhine, voices qualification
over Herr Hitler's conciliatory mien,
but forthwith registers chilling note
by asking whether the Reich is willing
to submit to supervision of the arma-
ments We know It Is building" An

In very dismal way.
The villagers admiring all are anxiously
inquirying II the cart may be re-
firing
Like the ancient one-hoss shay.
The horn is loudly sounding as fiat tires
the wheels are grounding and the
smoke cloud is astounding
That prevades the present scene.
And the workmen all answering find
their task bit unnerving appre-
hensively observing
Our political machine.
We had it oiled so neatly that the mo-
tor, running sweetly. seemed to
harmonic completely
With the driver at the wheel.
But its tenders have been battered and
its valves have sharply clattered
The speedometer is shattered
BY rapid running zeal.
Many detours We have taken. We doze
and we awaken as We are violently
shaken
Where the ride was so serene.
With affection mixed with daring, more
than ever we are caring to be
patiently repairing
Our political machine.

i HlSH INDEPENDENT, Dublin
The value Of turf as a fuel has yet
to be recognized by numbers Of
i Irish people in cities and towns,
and there Is no reason why an in
creased amount of 1reland's own fuel
should not be used in every household
this Winter.
For an open fire turf is an invaluable
and cheap fuel. and many of the objec-
tions voiced against it can be easily
dispelled. The normal house has two
or more fires burning in Winter, one
for cooking purposes and another to
heat the principal family or sitting
room. with often an additional fire in
the dining room.
For the latter fires the housewife will
find that to use all turf win be a prac-
tical and economical proposition. And
1t Is important to note that the standard
turf as sold in the government sacks
will not produce ash
ash. and this is often confused with
the heavy standard turf. which produces
a very small quantity of ash. The ash
content Of standard turf is no greater
than the ash content Of coal. Turf is
entirely consumed and leaves no clinK-
ers. 1t is easy and extremely clean to
handle
The aroma Of this standard turf,
with ordinary ventilation, Is no greater
than that of coal. The use of turf Is
healthier than coal, as it produces no
fumes or SCOT. A pleasant, healthy
warmth is given by turf fire. 1t has
been proved definitely more economical
in city and town to use turf only for
open fires. Coal should be retained for
use in the range, and the fire kept in
with turf when the heavy cooking Is

Historic Stone Lions

Jurisdiction exercised remotely in these
parts, and IS such, without inquirins

valued by the people of Trau as con-

traditions.

BUILDING PERMITS
ARE SLIGHTLY OFF

Building expenditures for the
year 1882 in Hendersonville
were slightly under those of
1881, records at the city hall
show.
Building permits during the
year 1881 were issued in the
amount of $37,31S while build
ing expenditures for the year
1882 totalled $3G,075, a decrease
of $344.
For the year 1882 building
permits were issued for S6,973,
and this figure added to the ex-
penditure of $4,000 for the re-
construction OF the Rex theatre
brought the amount to almost
that of 1881.
During the year 1881 more
permits were issued and there
was more building done general
ly. A number of filling stations
we're built and a brick building
was constructed on North Main
street by D. Podesta.
Building permits for the year
1882 consisted largely of permits
for repair work and for making
additions to buildings already
constructed.

PEIPING, Jan. 5.-(UP)--One

at Shanhaikwan.
Japanese have announced that
in the fighting there 10 JapS were

Revised Chinese estimates of the
dead said Chinese dead were l.
600; japanese, 400 killed or
