There always has been a two-thirds vote in the Senate for in- ternational co-operation.

PEACHAM, Vt, April 25—This| little town in Caledonia county, five iiles from a railroad, whose popula- tion is less than half what it was in 1840, found itself on the map of the| world when Ambassador George Har- vey, had told the bluebloods of Eng- 1and at a banquet in London Monday night, that Peacham centained no man, woman or child of other than English blood. Since they read this news the few stores here have been the scene of one of those long, famous forums known as the store court, and Col. Harvey's speech has been the sole topic of heated aiscussion. Peachamites are proud of their an- cestry, but it isn't all English, George Harvey to the contrary nothwith- ding, though it is probably true that there is not another town in all the 248 towns and cities in the state that s nearer 100 per cent of British extraction. The town was granted a charter by Gov. Benning Wentworth of New Hampshire in 1763. The proprietors held their first meeting In the Massa~ chusetts town of Hadley a year later.

His illness is said to have been caused by heart affliction, from which he has suffered. in a minor degree, for months. The immediate cause of his illness is attributed by his physician to overwork. During the past two days his con- dition hae materially improved and his family and physician are hopeful that he will soon be out of danger.

Harvey's speech rightly or wrongly as intimating that all the township's people are of English descent. “He is mistaken,” said one sturdy Scotch farmer, “In’ saying this, as a lot of us are of Scotch descent, and some of the Peacham folks are of Irish xtraction, But English—not by a long shot.” ‘While the town has a very few French-Canadfan families, 1t is only fair to Col.

The dispute between bakers, bakery salesmen and employers, regarding increased wages and a threatened strike, today stood in status quo, pending the outcome of efforts by the Department of Labor conciliator, John B. Colpoys, to stage a meeting «be- tween employers and bakery sales- men tomorrow afternoon in the Homer building. The/ -prospect of holding this con- ference was said today to be bright, and if the conference becomes an ac- tuality, it was predicted that possi bilitles' for settling the wage dispute, which is threatening a strike, will merge into probabllities. A telegram was received by officials of the bakery salesmen today an- nouncing that an international of- ficial was on his way to Washington, and that he will take charge of the situation. Until tomorrow afternoon. it is belleved, there will be no change in conditions. Until definite arrange- ments are completed. also, the plans which are being laid for community bakeries by union officials in case of a strike are being held up. Marriage Licenses.

Michelson, head of the department of physics of the Uni- versity of Chicago, in the assembly room ‘of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, 16th and P streets north- west. Prof, Michelson “will speak on “The Application of = Interference Methods to Astronomy.” He will tell of stars that in reality are suns which are so far away that they show no appreciable.disc, even in the most powerful telescopes. The 100-inch reflector at Mount Wilson would reveal such a disc if the diam- as much as one-twentleth of = second of arc and if the atmospheric conditions were perfect for observation wol Scientists believe, however, that thes numerous suns could be measured if a still larger telescope were constructed. The formation of the image whose diameter is to be measured is due to the concentration of the light waves from the stars at the focus of the telescope, Such a combinatian of light waves can be effected by the “interferometer” in which the base line may be much larger than the diameter of the 100-inch telescope. The phenomenon of the interference of light waves will be illustrated and also_the results attained when ap- at ! plied to astronomical problems, such as the measurement of double stars and the diameter of the giant star Betelgeuse.

The district managers were unani- ous, Mr. Hines said, in declding that mothods of supervision of veterans being rehabilitated should be modified. Under a plan to be worked out more time will be given to the actual prog- ress of training and less to checking up and rendering reports on what the veterans are dolng.

Hassan Bey, the Turkish financial expert, told the financial committee that Turkey wanted the whole world to understand that she was ready and determined to pay her just share of the Ottoman debt, but wanted a defi- nite understanding that the provinces detached from her territory as a re- sult of the great war should also bear their just share. Allles Reject Plea. He contended further that the suc- cession states, including Syria, Pales- tine, Mesopotamia and the others, should stand a proportationate cost of -the hdrawal from _circulation of the Turkish paper money. The allles flatly declined to accept the Turkish contention that the paper money constitutes a debt to be borne by the detached provinces, but agreed that division of the Ottoman debt shall be oblizatory. The American Tepresentatives did not participate in today's discussions, as they have decided to lmit their official activities strictly to such mat- ters as directly affect American in- terests. A delegation representing Georgia, composed of prominent exiles who re- fused to accept soviet domination in their country, has issued a statement that advices from Tiflls indicate a redoubling of soviet ecclesiastics of the Georgian Church.

Vile Drinks Sold. Whatever the facts as to deaths may be, there is no question among men charged with enforcing the law that Washington is being flooded with intoxicants of the vilest kind, tinctured with acids which would ruln any stomach. While it may be true that one drink will not harm the drinker, he is taking & long chance with every drink, with the odds nar- rowing with each one, until one day. he gets some really bad “stuff” and then he drinks no more. On the other hand, the pathological oondi- tion of the drinker may put off the inevitable for months—possibly for years—but in the end there is hardly a doubt the bootlegger's product wiil get him. The advice of the men who should know. who have seen in hospitals the results of bad booze and have seen men and women die from al- leged whisky sold by men who care not for the consequences, is to dis- continue its use entirely. ~A bad cold may be a g00d excuse to get a pre- scription, but it is worth walting for., A bellef common in Japan is that to live long, one should sleep with the head pointing due north.

S-BRITISH PLAN'TO AID BERLIN By the Associnted Press. RYE, N. Y., April 25.—A suggestion that the agreement on the terms of payment of the British debt might lead to scttlement of the German reparations problem, was by Frederick C. Goodenough, chair- man of Barclay's Bank, England, in an address before the executive com- mittee of the American Bankers' Association. Reinvestment of the securities America receives from Great Britain in securities offered by the German government would lead to an eventual solution of the reparations problem he declared. German reparation bonds could be made an attractive investment to investors throughout the world, he said Pointing out that Germany would require credit whatever amount it is decided she must pay, Mr. Goode- nough said that if Great Britain and America were prepared to co-operate, “as a purely commercial propos in_finding at ieast a portion of the initial sums required, a satisfactory arrange- ment as to the length of time for a moratorium would be & comparative- 1y easy matter. He sald he felt assured that an agreement on reparations coulld he reached and that America and Great Britain, the two great creditor nations of the world, could carry the matter to a successful conclusion.
