Business Handled Slightly Ahead of Record in
 New Haven

Waterbury again leads the. state in number of home loans granted, 1t was announced to-day by Attor- ney John Burns, manager of the local district office of the federal corporation. Figures complete up to the close of business yesterday, gave this city total of 2SG loans granted, two more than the num- Der reached by the New Haven of flee which has been leading the state during the past few weeks.
 The New Haven and Waterbury offices are far ahead of the rest of the state in home loan activity. Between them the two cities have completed more than 60 per cent of all home joan business transacted in the state.
 The month of January thus far has broken every record in the city and state for the HOLC. Loans arc being granted in much larger numbers, many loan negotiations are reaching the final stages, and new applications continue to pour In to all the district offices. At the pre- ont rate business for the month of January in the Water bury district will be almost equal to all that transacted since Sep- tember.
 Home Loan bonds are now in considerable demand on the mar ket. Quotations on them rose q great deal with reports of the presidents proposed guarantee oi tho principal. They are now sell ing mt about 93 and are being bought by many investors.

VVTOOF OOHmItIeGEHHD CHASE KIMBALL SPEAKS AT YMCA
Declares League of Na- tiOns Only Organized
 Substitute for War

Declaring that the League of Ma tions was q barrier protecting mod ern civilization from war which might mean destruction of civiliZa- ton, Chase Kimball struck out at tho foes of the League in no un- certain terms last night in address ing the Y. M. c. A. Forum.
 MT Kimball stated that tho League was now composed of 35 nations and although it would have to undergo notifications from time to time, yet 1t is the only or- ganiZed effort outside of political bargaining to provide q substitute for war. It has established the only permanent World Court, 1t has prevented many wars, warrcd on the opium traffic-smashed in- tcrnational white slavery andS has become bureau for education on international relationships.
 International anarchy was tho system vogue before 1914 and that system produced the World war. It has always produced wars. MT Kimball defined international anarchy as a system without any International laws or regulations simply minus law.
 The threat of Japan to withdraw showed strength of the league. Japan was severely censored by the 1,..gue for its invasion of Man churla and when she found she could not use the league for satis- flying her desire for conquest has given notice of withdrawal.
 United States and all nations which withhold from membership in the league must bear joint re- sponsibility for war with the of- lending nations. Uncle Sam is now working in cooperatoin with tho league--has practically a special am bassador at Geneva League headquarters and 1t would only be 8 small step to embrace active

 The ice polo game, which will be played at the wading pool rink should give plenty of action. If you don't believe us just ask any of those who remember the days when Lcaman Harvey, Luke Er- rico and the rest of the boys took part in one of those stick-0ying tussles that endangered life and limb. All the boys who performed on the ice some years ago will be back in harness Sunday, ready to give the fans another classic battle.
 Skaters from the Eastwood club, which has one of tho largest entry lists in the meet, will put on tho barrel jumping exhibition. They've gained considerable praise all over southern New England for their jumping, and their display Sunday will prove that they deserved every bit of 1t.
