FOUR POWER TREATY PROVES POPULAR ON PACIFIC COAST As the first fruits of the Washington conference the treaty with regard to the Pacific islands will be welcomed by all people who love peace founded on good faith among nations. ■ By removing from the field of possible dispute all the myriad islands in the Pacific ocean it insures peace throughout the vast expanse between the American and Asiastic continents and between the arctic and antartic oceans. The four great powers among which almost all of these isi lands are divided will respect one anl other's existing rights and will con(rs\ suit on how they shall deal with any question as to those rights that may arise either among themselves or from any other power. As they are the four greatest powers in the world in military, naval or economic resources, any aggression from with-

out their ranks is placed beyond the range of probability, and the name Pacific becomes truly applicable to the region to which it is given. Welcome particularly to the American people is the article in the treaty abrogating the alliance between Great Britain and Japan. Great is the gain to the United States. The Anglo- Japanese alliance t which has cast a shadow over our relations with both parties to it, is swept away, and with it all the apprehension to which it gave rise- The forth of the other three signatories! is pledged to respect and to support | • morally our rights to the Phillipines, Hawaii, Guam and Samoa. When i _ those three are removed from the ; category of possible aggressors, our < possessions are absolutely secure, for i no other would dare challenge us, t even if it were so disposed- _ i The treaty is the stronger for not j binding the signatories to any defin- ! ite action in case the rights of any of them should be infringed. There j is no obligation to defend one an- c other's territories by armed force- f The four powers are simply to "com- \ municate with one another in order j to arrive at an understanding as to t the most efficient measures to be tak- i en." Thus the conference has avoid- n ed the pitfall of binding the nations t In' advance to take any action, even c , war, to meet a possible future con- t: tinngchcy, all the conditions of which 0 , Oil U1C VI —vvv i

cannot possibly be forseen, though \ the fulfillment of the obligation ( would depend on the willingness of < each nation to act in the light of j - those conditions. Each signatory power retains complete freedom to act in any .way it chooses whenever } the rights of any of the four are threatened. Therefore the treaty is not an alliance, nor does it bind us 3 to do anything that we would not be willing to do in any case- We have j > no desire for any other nation's is- j ^MUids, and if any nation should at- > tempt to seize them, we should regard it as a predatory- disturber of c the peace and should be willing to consult other nations on means to ]( restrain it But we gain the pledge of the other three powers to act as \ we should act instinctively. Ratification of this treaty by the Senate should be assured in advance \ by its beneficent effects. THE CIGARETTE OF PEACE s Soothing tobacco plays its part in the Armament Conference activities. V

The Japanese smoke incessantly, cigarettes altogether. Baron Kato is ^seldom seen Without one- While talking he frequently lights one cigarette ; after another. Prince Tokugawa amokes as constantly. The Chinese ! are devoted to cigarettes, though- now and then . you see a small Chinaman ] attached to a. big cigar. While Preqjier Briand was here ! there was always a glow of fire jnder his bushy mustache- The French < oould not properly be tranquil without burning tobacco- The British in- j dine to their beloved pipes where pipe smoking is possible. Cigarettes 1 at other times. Buy a Ticket! What for? Ameri-j? can Legion Benefit, January 11th andI,

e Plans are already being formed to e continue the present organization or 0 organize a new one for the coming year so that there will be ample time - to prepare, advertise and arrange the e details for 1928, or, should the or- - ganization decide, hold the event just after the closing of the season, so as 1 to catch the better weather condie tions and prolong the season. Others - favor a double-header, the first event s being held while the summer people - are on the island and the second on s New Year's Day. Just what will de5 velop cannot be foreseen but at the 1 1 next meeting of the organization . which is to be held on Monday evening) January 9th, at the City Hall, at 8-00, the ideas will begin to take definite shape- All local organizations of all kinds are urged to send their committees to represent their and present their ideas and present any subjeects bearing on the AssociationAfter the parade had passed the stand at the Eagles home, the officials rushed to the Anglesea Association headquarters and again viewed the procession from that porch- It was at this time about a third of the line was held up for an time at Pennsylvania aveOpon investigation it was found . that the colored band from Atlantic City, a group of real musicians by j the way, had entered a hotel to thaw out thyir instruments before passing | inpr instruments Deiore passing

' The float was a Japanese tea garde! 0 scene and was unusual to a degree! s The costumes were loaned by Mr. an<R Mrs. Adachi and a considerable part was from Mrs. Adachi's own wardrobe. Beautiful silk kimonos, silk table scarf and other genuine Japanese fabrics and articles valued at! several hundreds of dollars, were us-| ed- Cherry blossoms, the most loved! of all Japanese blooms, arrange!! naturally on small trees made a pretl • ty all round motif. Unfortunat&fl the costumes did not permit of iA| ' dressing and the ladies on this <£1 were probably the greatest martiM in the line, but cheerful martfi-ifl withal. | The Bell, Telephone openatorsj float was unique, attractive and a jol-I ly one.

The four operatofl not enly carried telephones but thea could sing, much to the delight of thi could sing, delight

interested bystanders. The Wapella Tribe, I. O- R. M., hac t-, the honor of capturing the most prizes and the several groups were r, worthy of note in a larger event. The Tax Chasers excited continuous mirth from start to finish, while the Golf Club Burlesque was not ont, ly original but was a laugh maker as well. Harry Keating spent many - busy days preparing some of the fender costumes, but was well rewarded . in honor and partly paid in cash capturing awards for Master and Mis. Keating. John Keating with the North Wildwood Rre Company's side-splitting , aggregation, represented the fire chief on horse back and had he been : entered in an individual class would have certainly teen a prize winner.

! The American Legion had a good I j turnout but did not show to their best | advantage because manjy of the mero- . were doing duW as marshals | and aides, as were ttie Boy Scouts- 1 Probably the most Attractive group |in the patriotic section was the JunO. U. A. M., up their natty uni- >; forms- The Daughters of America, .'all in cars, made/a worth while disl pi*y- / . There is nj*3oubt that the interest p will be.ioWfisified next year when the Muffimers' Parade is for Mummers and decorated floats only- The , change in the line up will prevent I confusion and this year's event has taught many things which when put into practice will work for harmony I i and elimination of confusion. • One of best changes to be made an .-/which would be made if mummers only entered, would be the [rearrangement of classes and more [numerous individual classes. Early j numerous individual classes. Early

j registration and numbers printed in larger numerals on cloth would be of great assistance to the judges who always have a thankless, difficult and I disconcerting task. Early organization, appointment of •1 small committees and a committee !for every detail to be worked out a i year ahead of time will aid mater- , >1 [tolly in forming a smoothly running ; [association that will be able to work ! hi wonders for 1923. Publication of ■ j classes and amount of the prizes in ; Si ( each class two to three months be- [ 'fore the parade will also increase the . number of entries and interest.
