Washington, Sept. 10. In the
mi',t of the European war Great
Hritain, France, Spain, and China
have agreed to sign peace com
mission treaties with the United
States. One effect of the new
commission would be to prevent
the United States from being
drawn suddenly into the conflict.
Germany, Russia and Japan
have signified their acceptance
of the principle of these treaties
though negotiations have not ad
vanced to the point of drafting
convention. Similar agreements
with Turkey and Greece are al
most ready for signature.
The first four treaties.! re ready
for signature. They are regard
ed by President Wilson and Se
cretary Hryan as of far reaching
importance, prat-tiddly safe
guarding the United States from
being drawn into the present
conflict over any question of neu
trality or other controversy.
Their negotiation was begun how
ever, before'' the European war
broke.
With the signing of treaties
with Great If ritain, France, Spain
and China the number of pacts
of this kind negotiated by Secre
tary Hryan will number twenty
six. Nineteen have been ratified
by the Senate, comprising the
principal countries of Central and
South America, Denmark, Nor
way, Switzerland, Portugal, Italy
und the Netherlands.

IF TURKEY ENTERS WAR OTHERS

Koine, Sept. 11 It is learned
in diplomatic circles that Rou
mania, Greece and Hulgariahavc
signed an agreement which may
be regarded as a real alliance
under the terms of which these
three nations engage to interfere
whenever necessary in order to
prevent Turkey's aiding Ger
many and Austria in the present
war.
If Turkey remains neutral,
however, these three states will
do the same.

The smoothnees with which
our financial system is being ad

the execution of a complete, well-thought-out

When the war came it found
us prepared on the financial side.
We had grappled with that prob

emergency currency law that
served to bridge over the gap
efficiently, and we had a well-
thought out and modern bank

of being put into ojeration in a

Whatever mystery enshrouded
the disappearance of Charles IJ.
Howcl! and Miss Lizzie Griflin
was resolved early yesterday
morning when their Ixxlies were
discovered floating on the sur
face of the lake at Lakewood
park.
Fastened by a leather belt, the
two forms were locked in a clone
embrace. It was thus they had
embraced death together.
What the efforts of searchers
had failed to accomplish had been
compassed by natural forces, for
the rise of tho bodies was auto
matic and thus added weight to
the newer theory that the double
suicide occurred on the night of
Monday, Labor Day, instead of
Tuesday night. Tho lapse of two
and a half days is sometimes suf
ficient to compel the waters to
give up their dead.
Whiki waiting at Lakewood
station for a car which would
bring him to thecity to his work,
Mr. 11 Maynardof that vicinity-;
who is employed at Wearn's lum
ber yard, described two object
in the water a bhort distance
from the pavilion. Investigating
he realized the nature of his dis
covery and telephoned Coroner
Z. A. Uovift. News spread quick

to "icnd tho day with his mother,
Mrs. Julia Howell. His wife of
course did not know that Miss
Griftin also came here and was
greatly shocked by the news of
the occurrence. Mr. Howell in'
former years drank periodically
but for four years had been a to
tal abstainer until July 4th when
at a celebration at' Monroe he
was induced to break over. He
recovered from that and had been
sober up to the time he left homo
Saturday. His wife was sure,
however, he must have been
drinking when he took his life.
Miss Griffi in, who was a tele
phone girl at Monroe, met Mr.
Howell at a fair some months ago '
with a party of other young peo
ple who were making merry.
Then iheir name began to be
coupled together, but she did
not take it seriously. Slid
thought it mearly frindship.
"She would call Mr. Howell up
from the 'phone office and he
would stand and talk to her
while I listened. One day he
said, t)h, don't do that.' I ask
ed him whnt she had said. He
replied that ho U threatened
to commit suicide.
