I looked all over, but could not find it. "Finally I did find a pall, but what Was in it wasn't soup. It was about 8 gallon of cherry wine which my wife had I guess I drank too much of it that's what made me start breaking things. If I'd only found the right pail everything would he all nght."

Poincare. former President and Premier of France, charged here today on the eve of the seventh armistice anniversary that Germany's Nationalists still have' a spirit of revenge which risks "rendering precarious and sterile" the Locarno attempt to give "mankind the hope for universal peace." The man whom these German Monarchists called a "sword rattler' and who sent France's troops to occupy the Ruhr said in an exclusive interview that Germany still is able quickly to throw an army into the field, but that despite this France had manifested her pacific intentions by participating at Locarno. High Praise for S. Recalling memories of the war days and speaking in high praise of America, Poincare then launched into his discussion of peace and of Germany.

"Germany," he said, "finally ac1 cepted the Dawes plan but this had hardly gone into effect when powerful groups in industry, commerce and polities declared its obligations were too heavy and that it would 800 nbe necessary to suspend application of them. Neither in disarmament nor reparations has Germany fulfilled her promises. "She is still in a position to prepare within six months a well commanded army of well trained men with field artillery, heavy artillery. with financial and industrial means which are Increasing rapidly. "Despite her decit and despite France's justifiable distrust of Germany's behavior on reparations and security, our Government in the Locarno negotiations anxious to went give the world another proof of France's peaceful desires.

Seyen years after the victorious armistice, France agreed to another concession to Germany, in addition to concessions regarding military occupation of the left bank of the Rhine. "Even now, Chancellor' Luther and Foreign Minister Stresemann are trying excessive conclusions from these proofs of the kindness of France. Stresemann is pushing a little too far in his fanciful interpretation that in Locarno, France and England Implicity, agreed that nobody won was defeated in 1918 The reception of these accords by an overlarge part of German public opinion 18 very disquieting and proves that the spirit of revenge is far from dead. risks rendering precarious and sterile an attempt which was inspired by good intentions and gave mankind a an immense hope for universal peace." There is no reason to anticipate any hitch in the evacuation plans. Meanwhile, official London is proceeding with plans for the ceremonies in connection with the signing of treaties, having received from private sources assurances from all governments concerned, including the German and French Governmnets, that the treaties would be signed on schedule regardless of any domestic situations which may arise.

This means that Nationalist opposition to the treaties in Germany and the tottering insecurity of the Painleve Cabinet in France are not potential bars to formal signature of the documents. Locarno Peace Agreement Will Be Signed Dec. 1 London, Nov. -Evacuation of the Cologne zone will definitely begin i December. 1, coincident with the signing in London of the Locarno treaties, it is learned authoritatively.

Farmers Not to Burn Meadows During Winter. "Thousands of birds depend upon weed and grass seeds in the Nassau County 'meadows during the winter," says an appeal just issued by the Island Park Birdlovers' League to meadow owners to refrain from burning over their holdings this fall. "This is especially true when the ground is covered with snow and when the meadows are ice- coated. "If all refrain from burning this year's growth until next spring, many birds will be able to survive the hard winter we have been promised. It isn't much to ask, but it means life or a death to the birds -the best friends we have, and a joy to every country dweller.

Nassau County has thousands of acres of such meadows, and if all join in not burning over the meadow lands there will be ample food for the birds that pass the winter with us." Mrs. Susan A. Parsons, of Newport road, Island Park, head of the League, has requested that all owners. of meadow and stubble co-operate in giving this aid to the birds.

Aliens Wilfully Remain Illiterate, M. E. Siegel Charges Allens who are unable to speak English or to read American newspapers Illiterate wilfully, deliberately," according to Morris E. Siegel, director of evening schools. In a statement today Mr.

Siegel said that 000 is appropriated for the Americanization of aliens annually by the Board of Education. The director criticized the unwillingness, of foreigners to be-: come Americanized and laid it to the tendency to be "so busy earning in America that he! has no time learning about America." The many schools opened at night for naturalization, Mr. Siegel said, "remain unpopulated, save almost negligible 25,000 nightly in for, out of the 200,000 non-Englishspeaking immigrants, out of the 250,000 illiterates; out of the 000,000 aliens. Thus New York remains a city within a city--a city of Americans by nativity and choice and a city of aliens by choice alone. A very host of assimilated potential enemies 'are still within our gates." SEEK FIREBUG IN 6 BLAZES AT ROCKVILLE CENTRE Chiefs Richmond and Condon in Charge of Probe--Firemen Alert.

Rockville Centre, Nov. 10. -A searching investigation is being conducted by Chief of Police Charles Richmond and Fire Chief Engineer Frank Condon into the recent series of mysterious fires which have all the earmarks of the work of a firebug. During the past three weeks there have been suspicious fires in the stables of a coal company on Observer street, adjoining the Strand Theatre, which came very near creating a panic in the audience; three fires in the old Athenium Building, at the corner of Observer street and North Village avenue, and Sunday's blaze in the frame store building adjoining. Several months before a suspicious blaze at the south side of Observer street endangered the business section.

While the losses have been small, due to promptness of the police in lent work of the firemen, there is sending in the alarm and the considerable uneasiness among the residents on account of an apparent determined effort to burn down this particular frame row which has long been considered a fire hazard. Buried in an iron box not far from the scene of the recent fires, which are tinder and death traps, is enough dynamite to blow up -the entire village, ready to be used it! 8. blaze the congested business section should get. beyond the control of local department. The six companies have a crew at the quarters until after midnight, and until daylight three firemen are 011 duty ready for an alarm.

According to the police, the Sunday afternoon fire started in the centre of the fish market, although the proprietor states when he left his place at 10 o'clock in the ing everything was all right, There was no fire or even lights in the store at the time. The man in charge of the florist establishment adjoining, with only a thin partition between, states he saw nothing SURpiclous until the flames burst through. Several years ago the village sufoffered an epidemic of fires, which included the eleven suspicious blazes tn forty-eight hours, one of which was the burning of the quarters and apparatus of Eureka Hook and Ladder Company, on Washington street. The fires were followed by the arrest of a. half- witted youth, who confessed and was sent to an institution.

The recent fires have resulted in the formation of a local fire prevention bureau, which will start to funcetion immediately. DEAD HUNTER IDENTIFIED Jamaica Man's Body Found Near Wells, N. Y. The body of a man found by a. hunting party, in the woods near Wells, N.
