Completing the circle we arrive back at Italy where Premier Mussolini states he is willing to accept the British arms readjustment scheme "in principle," while offering a counter proposal for peace and disarmament suitable to the liking of Italy. This plan of Mussolini's would call for reduction of the regular army in Italy and an increasing of her colonial troops. It is strange that these four nations who are said to be bound by a secret pact are the only nations which are speaking right out, making demands and dictating terms. The French chamber of deputies, getting outside of the "unholy alliance," last week indicated a willingness to recon-side- r its recent refusal to make payment on its war debt to the United States.

The world, of course, does not want war, and there is every possibility that the difficulties in Europe and Asia will be ironed out to the satisfaction of all. In the meantime, the Atlantic and Pacific fleets of the United States are combined off the Pacific coast because it is cheaper to so maintain them than to separate the boats and move part of them back into the Atlantic waters.

Eryner-Plaut- z, BUY AT The Most Reverend James E. Kearney, bishop of the Salt Lake diocese of the Catholic church, vis ited several hours in Helper Tues day afternoon, continuing to Price where a banquet was held in his honor that evening at Notre Dame school. Present at the banquet were many notables and promi nent members of the local Cath olic organization. Walter C. Gease extended the expression of welcome to Bishop Kearney on behalf of Carbon county. The Bishop responded, and during the evening presented a survey of the trial and crucifixion of Christ, illustrated with slides, and gave a very interesting talk. Several beautiful songs were rendered by the choir girls. Bishop Kearney is making his first official visit to the diocese in eastern and southern Utah. BUY AT HOME Bosone Is Lauded Exploring tbe rock tunnel of the Creek coal mine near Castle Gate Tuesday morning, Joseph Kosec, 19, of Spring Glen received burns which caused his death several hours later in the Price hospital when he placed a mine lamp on an open keg of blasting powder. Kosec, together with Martina and Anna Skirl, Antonia Skinner, and Anton Dupin had gone into the mine after company officials, it is said, had warned them to stay out. Kosec apparently placed his lamp on the open powder keg, unaware of its contents, and was fatally burned in the resultant blast. Martina Skirl received very severe burns about the face and her condition Wednesday afternoon was reported as grave. Only minor burns were received by one or two others in the party. The youth is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Kosec, four brothers and two sisters, all of Spring Glen. Willow BUY Mrs. Reva Beck Bosone of Hel per, representative from Carbon county in the recent session of the state legislature, received signal recognition Sunday evening in a labor address over radio station KSL in Salt Lake, when she was credited as being easily the most outstanding figure of the session. The speaker stated Mrs. Bosone had received recognition from the very opening of the session thru her earnest and serious desire to serve, and that she unquestionably would be returned to future of that body. Carbon county well may be jus tified in priding itself on its splendid accomplishment in sending such an outstanding member to the state legislature.
