The ambassador made it clear In the course of his address that he referred not only to moral, but monetary aid. Coming aa It did from the former American ambassador to Germany, following his recent visit to the Uniwith ted States and conferences President Coolldge the pronouncement was calculated to create a profound Impression upon the statesmen and diplomats gathered to bear the new ambassador and perhaps be regarded as among the most Important delivered by Amerlca'a envoys to the court of SL James In yeajs. Because of tia Importance and the authoritative aote which It sounded. It was assumed by those trained in diplomacy that he must undoubtedly be voicing the views of the administration at Washington. , Special significance was attached to the fact that the statement comes at a time when considerable suspicion and distrust of Germany are being voiced In various parts of Europe, particularly France, because of the election to the presidency of Field Marshall von Hlndenburg, who is asserted by some to represent - those reactionary forces which: are Inimical to the peaoe and interest of at least some of the allies. Interlocking with the Idea, It has been commented, may be the fate of the security pact proposed by Germany and warmly seconded by England as a great step toward the reestablishment of real peace. Indeed there has been some speculation as to whether the effective working of the D)wes plaii might be Impaired by this fanning of the smoldering fire of distrust. i Whether ambassador IToughton had any of these things in mind was open to conjecture. He referred to none - of them, but contented himself with making It plain not only that the of peace was essential to the continuation of assistance from the United States, but that the answer to the question whether there was to be peace must come from the If peoples of Europe themselves. there was to be peace, then America would help in the reconstruction to the extent of her ability, f "The full measure of American helpfulness, Ambassador Houghton declared, "can be obtained only when the American people are assured that the time for destructive methods and policies has passed and that the time for peaceful upbuilding has come.

Out of all the beer that goes away, Price expects Ontario will get 10 rents a gallon. The federal Canadian government will get 12H cents a gallon.

Bingham Canyon, Utah. Fire said to have originated in the rear of the Tivoli rooming house in the uppeT part of lower Bingham, wiped out a residential and business district for a distance of approximately 100 yards and threatened the entire city causat $76,000. ing damage estimated More than 150 persons are homeless as a result of the blaze. In combatting the flames as they spread down the canyon C. J. Carlson, chief of fire station No. 1, of the Bingham volunteer fire department, was severely burned on the face and hands. Wilfred Carlson, former University of Utah athlete, was seriously injured when he was struck on the back by a trunk hurled from the second story of a burning building. The buildings destroyed by the fire fffclude the Belmont hotel, the Scus-se- l store, Tivoli rooming house, Europe pool hall and rooming house, the Standlsh precipitating plant, a long line of garages, the dwelling of John sixteen Venettl and approximately two story shacks. Insurance of approximately $35,000 covers the damaged area, according to insurance agents and property owners. The fire was discovered by Eli Benson, an employe of tbe Utah Copper company, on his way to work. He said he noticed smoke issuing from the rear of the Tivoli rooming house and ran to the nearest alarm station and sounded the fire alarm. It is the, opinion of those near the origin of the fire that it was caused by a cigarette igniting debris in the rear of the Tivoli. Fanned by an early morning wind, the flames spread rapidly, soon enveloping the upper portion of lower Bingham. Before the two contingents of the Bingham volunteer fire department arrived, the blaze had spread to the Belmont hotel on the right of the Tivoli, and the precipitating plant, owned by Former State Senator H. N. Standlsh, on the left. Hampered by refugees, who ran from the burning dwellings in negligee, the fire fighters began playing the water on the fire as It swept down the canyon. Hundreds of persona, lad only in nocturnal apparel, were drenched as they attempted to recover tome of their property in the blaze. The fire rapidly gnawed its way through tbe frame structures on tbe main canyon road and started on tbe two rows of bouses that lined the mountainside, owned respectively by Florendo BcJont and the Scuqpell the Gardens history. , You can get some idea, said promoter of what this place meant to New York City and the ernment when I tell you I have a million and a half dollars in and taxes on it during the past Logan.
