quiet and peaceful and beautiful

hunters with terrible guns were
searching the Greer. Forest for
beautiful Lightfoot. But they were

Lightfoot was on his feet. He knew
Just what that meant. He knew that

Meal times provide the mother
with marvellous opportunity to in

her children, which come more nat
urally when they are trained to come
to the table with washed hands and

not at all handsome. On land he
is a rather clumsy looking fellow
and really homely. So he admired
Lightfoot greatly. That is one rea-
son why he proposed that they be
partners.
Lightfoot himself thought the
idea a splendid one. He spent that

Good excuses that will Withstand

In the tradic branch Of Police Court,
but Judge John P. Mcmahon yester-
day heard an ironclad alibi from q
colored driver that won suspended
sentences on three trafiic charges.
About a month ago William r.
Miller Of 2128 Virginia avenue NV.
was arrested at First street and
Maryland avenue NV. after q roar
ing 60-mile-an-hour race with q
police scout car down Constitution
avenue. He was charged by Police
man o. T. Disharoon with speeding
and failing to stop at two red lights
en- route.
Testifying In court this morning,
the defendant told Judge Mcmahon
that he left his home late that
night to rush his sister to Gal
lnger Hospital. He said she was
expecting the birth of q baby at any
time and he was "in q hurry to get
there" He explained he did not
hear the police siren during the
chase because my sister was moan
ing so.'
Policeman Disharoon told the
court that child was bonn to Mr..
Miller's sister IS minutes after her
arrival at Gallinger. Judge Nc

destroy them.
The British and the French are
aware OF this danger and are pre-
pairing an impressive convoyinp

designated to form part of the con-
voy besides large number of de-
st1oyers, sloops and subchasers.
The war on the western front is
SO slow that in order not to keep
their men idle, the French have
sent home two classes which had
been ordered to the front during
the first days of mobilization.
Moreover, there is not vet a GEN
eral mobilization in France. There
has been what might be termed as
selective mobilization. Elderly
men have been sent to the front
while young people, who in the
last war were the first to go, have
been left at home to look after
their business and take care of their
families.

Despite the bellicose tone of thu
Soviet press regarding the outcome
Of the Finnish Russian dispute, re.
liable reports received in Washing.
ton are optimistic.
It appears that the Films, backec
by the Norwegian and Swedish
governments, are willing to meet
the Soviet demands as far as they
are compatible with the sovereignty
Of Finland. The Finnish govern
ment is prepared to meet the Rus
slams half way by yielding to them
the three islands in the Gulf OF
Finland. But they have made il
clear that they will not agree to
yield an inch of Finland's territory
outside the islands and neither are
they willing to dismantle the for
tifications on the Finnish Russian
borders. It y q take-it or leave-it
proposition. The Finnish delegates
are instructed to make this final
offer and make it extremely plain
10 Stain that this is the maximum
Of their concessions. If Russia
wants to fight, that will be all right
with them, too.
The impression gained in respon-
sible foreign quarters in Moscow Is
that the Russians will be satisfied
for the time being at least-with
this arrangement. There is a def
mite impression in Moscow that
Stain might be satisfied with what
he considers a temporary arrange
ment with Finland in order to have
a free hand to handle Turkey and
other Balkan countries.
Reports from Berlin indicate that
the North Atlantic will be the secene

Letter Exchange
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, Nov. S.-Italy has entered
the European treaty-making con-
test to improve her status as a neu-
trail and strengthen her influence
in Southeastern Europe.
An exchange Of Greek Italian let
ters, dated September 80, affirming
friendship and expressing q desire
to give more concrete form" to re-
lations between Athens and Rome
was published today.
The letters pointed the way toward
negotiations for happy and fruit
full collaboration in all flelds"-ap-
parently prefacing a new nom
aggression pact.
Trade Campaign Expected.
Foreign observers expected Italy
to seek wider trade advantages from
Greece as she has done in a new
commercial agreement with Yugo-
slavia and another about to be
signed with Bulgaria.
Negotiations also were reported
under way between Italy and Tur-
key toward formation of a Balkan
bloc under italian aegis. Whether
such conversations would reult in
formal document was regarded as
problematical because Of the present
Italian desire to avoid the appear
ance Of joining forces with the
Turkish British French alliance.
Some diplomats thought a friend
ly agreement between Turkey and
Italy, however, would be even more
important than the exchange of let
ters between Italy and Greece.
The pact with Greece, which Ital-
ians hoped soon to conclude would
replace the 10-year non n-aggression
treaty of 1928. With 1t Premier Mus
solini would seek to reinforce his
influence in the Balkans to counter
balance the recent Turkish French
British mutual aid treaty, protecting
1taly's strategic as well as CONNER
cial interests in a region considered
vital.
The Italian press refrained from
comment on the Greece Italian let
tiers, but the prospect of pacts with
Greece and Bulgaria emphasized
recent statements by informed Fas-
cists that Rome had no intention
of surrendering her position in
Southeastern Europe to any power.
Fight on Communism Cited.
These sources declared Italy had
fought in Spain to prevent the
spread of communism and was not
likely to stand by while communism
penetrated the region. Friendship
for Soviet Russia has been reported
on the increase in Bulgaria.
The Greek note published today
was signed by Premier John Met
axas and expressed, among other
things, appreciation for Italy's
spontaneous gesture" in withdraw
ing troops from Greece's Albanian
frontier on September 20.
Replying to assurances given Sep
tember II by Premier Mussolini,
Metaxas said these had created an
atmosphere of cordiality"
Both Italian and Greek notes ex-
pressed hope that the evolution of
the international situation will fur
nish the two governments in the
near future an occasion for giving
their relations q more concrete
form"
