FOREIGN DEBTS
T0U. :. CALLED
PEACE PERIL

Stating the foreign debts owed
the United States constitute one
of the most likely causes for hard
feeling in the future, Dr. w. w.
Cumberland, a New York econ
omist. warned today against any
cancellation of these debts be-
cause of the worlds unsettled con-
dition with international fighting
going on in several countries" He
said this Government should re.
tain it credits in those countries
in event of an emergency.
He told round table discussion
at the University of Virginia'S In
stitute of Public Affairs "the pros
pect of international wars of great
magnitude are appallingly vivid
the United States may well be
drawn into conflict"
DR.. Cumberland told how this
Government delivered billions of
dollars to the Allies to carry on
and rehabilitate from the World
War, with Finland the only debtor
which has not defaulted on its
debt. He said:
"They (Great Britain and
France) add that the Young
Plan Of 1880 tacitIy recognized
the inter-ralatiOn between war
debts and reparatiOn payments
and that the Hoover moratO-
rum of 1881 in effect absOlved
debtors to the United States
from obligations on war debt
accounts when Germany was re-
ieved, even temporarily, of the
necessity of meeting current
payments for reparatiOns.
"They conclude that, even
were the war debts equally bind
ing with ordinary commercial
obligations, the policies of the
United States Government in
raising tariffs, In depreciating
the dollar, in absorbing and
sterilizing vast quantities of
gold and silver, and in refusing
to cooperate with other nations
in either political or economic
matters, have rendered pay
mentS utterly impossible"

TRAFFIC HURTS
FEWER HERE

Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer has reported marked i'm
provement in traffic conditions for
the first six months of 1886.
Police reported 4,667 traffic &C.
cidentS, only two less than in same
period last year, but personal in
juries showed a drop from 2,134
in the first six months of 1885 to
1907 this year.
Careless pedestrians who Took
the wrong way" while crossing
streets, or cross at places other
than cross-walks contribute the
largest number of personal injury
accidents, according to Van Duzer.
The death toll for the first half
Of 1886 is A5-a drop from Sc for
the same period of 1885.

"Hey, hold the ladder" Dotty cried. "Be careful, though, King Sun might slide. If he is steady, 1t will be much easier to climb.
 Right now he's half way to the top. I wonder what has made him stop. The way he's panting, l guess he has had a real hard tine."
 You're right" fair Princess Sunbeam said. "You see, he has Q fnonstrous head, and climbing makes him all tired out. He has to stop and rest.
 "The ladders stuck into the ground. It's absolutely safe and sound. Twas built to stay right where it is, as you all might have guessed"
 Then Sun yelled down. Have patience, tots. Real shortly you'll see lots and lots of brilliant rays. Why, they will make you close your eyes.

 "Okay," replied the kind old king. "You may think 1t foolish thing, but, anyway, I'll gladly sing one little verse for you"
 His voice rang out. T am King Sun and, daily, I have lots of fun atop my little ladder, sending brightness through the air.

Plainville, Milldale and Waterbury. Another suggestion included a ser- vice route to Middletown.
 City Serviced
 The Public Utilities commission found that the petitioning company has not served the Waterbury area in the past and that the needs of the district are amply taken care of. The Connecticut Co, contended at the hearing before the commis- sion on October 20th last that the public convenience and necessity was being adequately taken care of at the present time. It was pointed out that the Connecticut O., alone, does not service the area but that there are other concerns which, also, fill the needs of customers in the district.
 Fails to Show
 Based upon the failure of the applicant to show that public con- venience and necessity requier the extensions of it's route as applied for, the commission is of the opinion and finds that the application should be and 1t hereby is denied" reads the official statement from Hartford signed by Commissioners J. w. Alsop, Edwy L. Taylor and Al- van Waldo Hyde.

 Other Needs More Pressing
 County Commissioner Joseph P. Cooney of Hartford county claims he is not opposed to the establish ment of jail farm. At the same time, he contends that such farm under the proposed plan will not eliminate the necessity for the county jail. He claims that other needs of the state are more press ing than that for a jail farm.
 Former High Sheriff George H. Gabb of Hartford county has la beled the proposed state jail farm as 8 "crackpot idea. Gabb is a re- publican.
 Conn. Women Behind It
 The Connecticut league of Women Voters is behind the jail farm plan as are other civic and social minded organizations in the state. The fight in the 1887 legislature is expected to be a bitter one but predictions are being made that the governors plan will go over. Radio appeals were used two years ago to put the Idea over but they didn't work. A more intensive drive is on this year.

 There was absolute calmness all night long at the Vatican. Every thing followed its usual routine. l am positive the Pope is not as seri- ously i'll as is generally believed"
 The population of Desio, the Pope's town, were eagerly following every report of his illness. Many tele- grams were dispatched to the Vati- can asking reports on the progress of the Pope's malady, while the pop ulace fiocked to churches to pray for his recovery.
 The room in which the Pope was born, which is now 6 chapel With Q statue of St. Achilles-the Pope's namesake--was the main object of devotion. It was visited all day long Sunday by almost the whole popu- lation. Everyone made Q short pray CT for the Pope's recovery.
 Two propitiatory masses were cele- brated in the chapel today, attended by numerous workers.
 Optimism Prevails
 Optimism regarding the outcome of the Pope's illness was enhanced today when the Rev. Agostino oemelli. q noted Franciscan physi- clan, returned to Milan where he is rector of the Catholic university Of the Sacred Heart. fie had been in consultation with Prof. Milani.
 Count Franco Ratti, the pope's nephew. also visited His Holiness this morning, showing optimism.

 Simplicio, who had always walked backward while Lucio walked for ward, was looking ahead to the training he would have had to re- ceive to learn to balance himself correctly without the usual support of his twin. Throughout Lucio's illness, Simplicio was in perfect health. He fretted because of his enforced stay in bed while his brother lay critically i'll. When Lucia died, he said, he experienced strange feeling"
 Friends of the 28-year-old twin said he was aware that death was near when his wife reached the hospital Saturday. He took her hand, they said, and told her to go on the stage and "tell them about Lucio and me-" %

decided.
 The government argued that the issues involved in the North Ameri- can suit would be decided by the courts in the Bond & Share case and hence the government should not be put to the difficulty and ex- pense of fighting a multiplicity of suits involving the same dispute.
 Great Issues Involved
 "In these holding company act cases, great issues are involved, great in their significance" Car dozo's opinion opinion said.
 We are satisfied that the limits of a fair discretion are exceeded insofar as the stay is to continue in effect after the decision by the district court in the suit against the Bond & Share company, and until the determination by this court of any appeal therefrom.
 Whether the stay would have been proper if more narrowly con- fined will be considered later on. For the moment we fix the utter most limit as the date of the first decision in the suit selected as a test, laying to one side the question whether 1t should even go so far"
 The court added that If sec- ond stay is necessary later, the government should be obliged to make obvious its need for such a stay.
 The court set aside the stay order Of the district court and ordered the case back for that tribunal to determine anew the motion for the stay in accordance with the princi- ples laid down by the court in the present case.
 Telephone Companies Lose
 Washington, Dec. 7.-UP)-The supreme court today approved original cost" provisions of the federal communications commis- sion's uniform accounting orders for telephone companies which were attacked as arbitrary" by A con- panies.
 The orders complained of were issued to cover the method to be used in accounting for property which had been in use in the public service when acquired from another utility.
 The methods prescribed were said to be important to assist the com- munications commission in deter mining "the fair value" of a util- ityS property for rate making pur- poses.
 A suit attacking the orders was entered by the American Telephone and Telegraph Co., and 36 com panies controlled by it under the Bell System as well as by seven in- dependent companies.
 The National Association of Rail- road and Utilities commissioners in- tcrvened in the case in support of the communication commissions s order.
 Fair Trade Law Upheld
 Washington. Dec. 7.-tUP)-The supreme court today upheld con- stitutionality of fair trade statutes of Illonois and California, opening the way. 1t was believed, to pos- sible development of modified state NRA systems.

 Baldwin Street Project
 Furthermore, it was ascertained, the Baldwin street bridge project will be financed through bond issue to be proposed to the legisla- ture during the coming 1887 ses- sion. It is also possible that the city will ask for further refunding bond issuance authority so as to take care of bonds coming due during 1887 and 1888.
 The Baldwin street bridge project, which involves, also, an extensive grading undertaking stretching from Union Square to the corner of Baldwin and Bridge streets, will be aided by a federal grant and financial assistance from the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company.

All Club Achievement Banquet
Plans Announced

First annual Achievement night
dinner is planned for the Al
clubs of the valley, an innovation
which is meeting with much en-
thusiasm on the part of members
and leaders and which promises
TO become a fractional event.
Each year the clubs have had
an Achievement celebration when
a program has been given and
when members who completed their
projects during the past year
were given their achievement pins
by the key BANKER.
jan Is is the date for this
years ceremony and the plans
are completely different. The cele-
bration will be held in the Holt
vile Methodist church and the

is to serve supper to club men,
bers and leaders, parents and
guests, the affair beginnin 6

Bankers association, will present
the Achievement pins.

made for the club members to be
seated at II large tables, the large
clubs taking one table each and
the smaller, combining in a table
Each table will represent a month
of the year and the club or clubs
will decorate it in keeping with
that month.
A contest will be conducted be-
tween the II groups in which
three factors will be considered: :
the percentage of attendance, the
originality and beauty of the table
decorations and the quality of the
stunt which that group will pre-
sent. The winning group will be
awarded handsome cup donated
by the farm bureau to remain in
the clubs possession until the next
year. The stunts will be patterned
after those given at the fair by
