Five feet in diameter and II
inches thick, the lens now here
was made in the Corning, N. Y,
glass works. 1t required three
months to cool to a point where
it could be removed from the
mold.
The glass will be ground to q
curve, with not more than, a half
millionth of an inch deviation, and
polished to an almost unbelievable
degree of smoothnesS.
The 1,500-pound disc is just a

Working quietly behind the Italo-
Ethiopian peace smoke screen"
Sunday, Premier Laval Of France
and Foreign Minister Sir Samuel
Hoare of Britain laid the solid
groundwork for a Franco-German
accord, it was learned from reli-
able authorities here today.
The accord, sought as much by
Germany as by France, will be
pushed to it's conclusion as soon
as the Ethiopian crisis is ended.
Britain will cooperate through
out in ending Franco-German fric-
tion which, many high quarters
feel, is source Of potential dan
ger greater than the present Ital-
ian situation.
Laval and Hoare spent more
time or the German question than
on the Ethiopian plan, discussing
navies. the Rhineland, German
conscription and other points, &C

RYE-WHEAT MEET
SET FOR PINE CITY

The new Rye and Wheat Control
Program under the AAA will be ex-
planned at a meeting to be held at
the court room at Pine City on We'd
nesday afternoon. October 9. at
o'clock. This meeting should be OF
interest to all farmers who are grow
ers of rye and wheat.
With rye each growers base is es-
tablished by the average acreage
grown during 1880. 1881 and 1882:
with some exceptions where other ar
rangements may be made where rye
was not grown in this period but was
grown during one or more of the
years. 1893. 1894 and 1895. Rye acre
ages are to be reduced $50 with a
benefit payment of CSC per bushel on
300 of the average yearly production.
Much similarity exists between the
new wheat program and the one first
offered in 1888. All growers are elig-
ible TO make application for the new
contract who grew wheat one or more
years of the base period 1880. 1881
and 1882 Some variation of base
period also. occurs with wheat. Ad-
justment payments are made to equal
parity prices, for 1886 growers will
be asked to reduce only Sc.
Both the wheat and the rye con-
tracts run for a period of four years
or for 1896. 1887. 1888 and 1899 with
the privilege of cancelling at the end
of two years. Information may be OBJ

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

Preparations for active Italian war
fare against Ethiopia are being has
tened and intensified this week, and
the prospects of a European con-
flagration are becoming more and
more threatening. That is not say
ing that a European or a world war
necessarily will result from the
crisis now developing, but it is quite
clear that during the last few days
nothing has happened that definitely
removes the danger
AS the Italian government rejected
the proposition made by League of
Nations Council committee in regard
to concessions in Ethiopia, it was
necessary to approach the problem
from another angle.
Paving the Way.
This the Council did by voting
unanimously to apply Article Is of
the League covenant; this article i'm
poses upon the League the duty of
appointing a committee which is to
report what has been done so far
ioi lIlC Pun PooO vi PiSoCi Ing PSoNO.
and to recommend what further meas
ures must be employed.
Comparatively innocuous as Article
Is is, it paves the way for the appli-
cation of the far sterner Article Is
which preseribes complete isolation
of a member nation which. in vio-
lation of the League covenant, under
takes aggressive warfare against a
fellowmember nation. Article Is
stipulates that such an offender is to
be cut off from economic and COM
mercial intercourse with other mem
member nations must cease all con-
nection with the citizens of the ag-
gressor nation.
In its implications Article Is NAV
have far-reaching effect. for it de-
clares that a member nation violat-
ing the covenant by attacking an
other member thereby is considered
as having attacked all other member
nations. In other words: War against
Ethiopia is a war against all nations
comprised within the League.
Question of HOstilities.
The League has no army. navy OF
air corps. but. according to Article
Is, all members are required to con-
tribute army. navy and aviation sol
diers in the event of war of attack
This does not mean that war will
start between Italy and the League
at the moment that the attack on
Ethiopia begins. but it does mean that
the League has the right and the
duty to enforce by arms its DEGREES
against the offending nation.
Great Britain. France and Russia
have already pledged their forces in
case such an emergency arises.
