Empress" Gone From Paradise; Fate Is
 in Doubt

and Norwegian sailor named Nuggerund were found on the
 beach of Marchena Island by Captain Borthen. There, too, was pile of baby clothes, some French money, Lorenz' passport, and a bundle of letters in German, Swed-
 ish, and English, mostly bearing the name of Mrs Margaret Witt
 mer. Here certainly was 8 pretty
 mystery for desert island. Pair Die Miserably It appears that the letters and baby clothes were the Wittmers', | possibly. being sent out by Lorenz
 as a messenger who was to match the clothes and mail the letters
 when he reached a steamer lane.
 But he did not reach it.
 Apparently the small boat was
 wrecked and Lorenz and Nugger-
 und reached temporary safety on barren Marchena Island, only to die slowly and miserably of starvation and thirst on coast that has nei-
 ther food nor fresh water. | But the baroness and Philippson have vanished. No one knows l where they are. Did they sail away, as Lorenz indicated in which there are IlO ndDlUdDJ0 lSldHQS
 Are they, perhaps, even todaySin seclusion somewhere on Charles Is- | land, having forced Lorenz to set sail on the voyage which brought him and the Norwegian sailor to | their deaths?
 Double Killing Possible Did Lorenz. furious at being dis placed in the baroness affections,
 perhaps kill them both before he
 himself left the island? Handbook | and others are still in the Galapa- gas, seeking the answer. Perhaps Dr Ritter could have told the answers. But when the
 Handcock party arrived at Charles Island to investigate the deaths of
 Lorenz and Nuggerud, they found that Dr Ritter was also dead. He
 had died naturally, of stroke, in November.
 It was felt that he might have known how Lorenz and Nuggeruud | came to leave the island to find death. But the others left on Charles Island seemed uncertain of what had happened in the other Colony"
 Buried Treasure, Too
 A search for buried treasure may reveal the key. For on Chat ham Island, somewhat more popu-
 lous unit of Galapagos group, there is rumor that the cratic baron- ess buried valuable jewelry on Charles Island.
 Should search uncover such a
 cache, it would lend color to the murder theory, for it is assumed that not even so cratic a soul as the baroness would depart, leaving such a trove behind her. Such a finding would seem to indicate that murder had been added to the vicious quarreling and pitful deaths which have already marked this latest effort to find paradise by leaving all the world behind.

Community Council
 Restores Xmas Tree
Park Department to Provide Wiring and Residents the
 Bulbs-Church Program Ready
WATERVILLE

1 of the Green near the Manville street and Thomaston avenue cor ner. Thefts of bulbs and wilful damage to the equipment by ire sponsible local individuals finally | forced the department to discon- | tinue the tree in the Waterville park, since there was no local or ganized group willing to assume the responsibility of guarding the property.
 This year the Council has re- quested the tree and assumed re- sponsibility. It has suggested that the tree be erected at the north west corner of the Green oppo- site the Chapel and Boyden street intersection since it is felt that | this location is more public and is | less apt to provide the o ppor- | tunity for damage or pilfering of | bulbs.
 There is a strong feeling on the part of some members of the l committee that the park depart ment should furnish the bulbs, it being pointed ou. that the ex- | pense is trifling and could more easily be borne by the depart nient.
 St Michaels' Loses Opener | The recently organized basket. ball team of St Michaefs A. c. played its first game last night meeting the Boys Club Cadets on the latter's. floor. The Cadets registered a 41 to 19 victory over the Waterville boys, their play giv- l ing every evidence of greater ex- perience and more advanced de- velopment. St Michaeps team put up a plucky battle against | tremendous odds and gave promise of much better results as soon as more practice can be obtained.
 The team has plenty of good ma terial which needs only a little de- veloping and polishing to be shaped into q first class unit. Followers l of the team need feel no discour. agement over last nights defeat. Christmas Program at Grace l Church

JAPAN'S NOTICE DENOUNCINC THE
 TREATY SIGNED
Was Sealed To-day and Will Be Delivered to
 United States
BY RAY MARSHALL ,ifad DraSS Staff (yOrreSrov

Tokio, Dec 21-(U.PD-Japan.s formal notice denouncing the Washington naval treaty was sign ed. sealed and ready for delivery to-day. It will be transmitted to Hiroshi Saito, Japanese ambassador to the United States, for delivery at his discretion. Most sources believed Saito will give the formal notifica- tion to Secretary of State Cordel
 Hull, December, 27th.
 Instructions as to procedure will go to Saito at Washington tonight or Saturday from Foreign Minister Koki Hirota. After instructing the am bassador it was indicated Hirota will issue statement, possibly ex- the 1922 agreement and future na-
 val pacts.
 The last official step toward ter
 imitation was taken to-day when
 Premier Keisuke Okada's cabinet,
 in brief session, announced its approval. Japanese leaders - the powerful militaristic faction - de- cided months ago to denounce the Limitations plan which restricts it to three -fifths of the naval tonnage allowed the United States and Great Britain.
 Newspapers approved the mo- mentous step. which leaves the world without a naval disarma- ment plan after 1886. as a good thing well done" The public, too,
 gave approval in it's support of the military class guiding the destinies of the empire.
 Although the denunciation of the treaty ended the exploratory l conversations at London seeking its
 revision, the adjournment of the parleys was not sought by Japan. Rather the Japanese preferred
 that the talks be continued and be-
 fore adjournment tried to have a
 date set for their resumption.
 Although there was no official
 comment it was indicated reliably that Japan will seek to continue conversations through diplomatic
 channels looking toward a basis for an agreement which would make
 the 1885 naval conference possible. Admiral Isoroku YamamotO,
 chief technical delegate, is expect ed to return to Tokio with full report on the London proceedings His associate, Ambassador Tsuneo
 Matsudaira, will remain at his post
 in London maintaining contacts
 between Tokio and the British gov efnment.
 Japan decided to terminate the Washington pact to bring forth It's own naval scheme, one which gives the Nippon empire equality and
 provides for a Common upper
 limit" to which world navies might
 build.

IT WON'T BE LONG NOW
' HalI2l BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

When Christmas gifts are bought and done up Why not relax the last few days! That is the thought that comes to many As they move about in haze Then all at once you realize You've forgotten your Uncle Pete; Gosh almighty what bad break! And you dead on your two poor feet. Then Pa and the boys, wouldn't you know? Fall down on decorating the tree; So down town again you trek For tinsel and lights, oh gee! There's no rest for the weary, that's fact, But think of the joy for every one; By Christmas eve you've made the grade And then, ain't we all got fun!
