Germany and her princl pal antagonists in the world war, on December first signed ' the Locarno treaty and collateral pacts guaranteeing peace In Europe and the submission to arbitration of any disputes that may arise between them regarding their frontiers. The contrast between the signing of this momentous pact and the peace treaty of Versail-.lesix years ago was marked in two respects. There were none of the magnificence and glamor surrounding the Versailles signing. The ceremony, which lasted only an hour, was notable for its extreme simplicity. And this time the Germans came of their own free will. They signed gladly, with smiling faces, in striking contrast to that other occasion when the delegates of the relcb appended their signatures under compulsion with white faces registering a mixture of fear and anger. The ceremony was carried out in a spirit of optimism which was hailed as auguring well for an era of peace throughout Europe. To the click of motion picture cameras and a blaze of Klelg lights, Chancellor Luther of Germany, Prlemer Ilrland of France and Foreign Secretary Chamberlain of Great Britlan entered the famous golden reception room of the foreign office arm in arm, conversing and smiling. After them came the delegates of Italy, Belgium, Foland and Czechoslovakia, followed by Premier Baldwin and all his cabinet. The latter ranged themselves along the back of the room to witness the crowning success of the efforts of their government and especially of Foreign Secretary' Chamberlain, whom the delegates addressed as Sir Austen, because of the honor done him by King George, who awarded him the Order of the Garter for bis services at Locarno. Immediately the delegates had taken their places at the large table, in the order in which they sat at Locarno, the' British foreign secretary, without rising, began an address of welcome in French to the plenipotentiaries, speaking in the name of the king. Ills words fell in an impressive silence. In the very brief speech he told the foreign statesmen of the gratification felt over their presence at the ceremony and expressed the kings that his mother's disappointment death had made rearrangements of the program necessary. Chancellor Luther, who followed, expressed his countrys pleasure at the conclusion of the pact. After him came the remaining delegates, voicing similar sentiments and speaking according to tradition in the alphabetical order in which the countries fall and in the French language. A few moments were taken up by the foreign office's legal adviser, Sir Cecil Hurst, in formalities and the signing began at 11:25. a - . f Col. Jackling Predicts Big Year Ogden. Colonel D. C. Jackling, president of the Utah Copper company, stopped in Ogden en route from New York to San Francisco. He said that indications were that this year would be the best for the copper industry since the wartime boom. The outlook for 1926 is for a heavy production, he said. The plants of all his companies are running at full production, he said. The many new uses for copper is now increasing Its demand. Colonel Jackling stated. He said the outlook is exceedingly-bright- . New Charges In Brookhart Case Filed Washington. The new charge that the Iowa senatorial election of last year was fraudulent because Senator Brookhart was not a Republican, was made by the state Republican committee to the senate committee hearing the contest over the seat now held by Mr. Brookhart Naples. An untold number of lives were lost and many villages In southern Italy were destroyed by the gigantic storm which swept in from the Tyrrhenian sea. The storm's force began below Naples, extended with fury against the province of Calabria the toe of the Italian boot and even crashed against the northern shores of Sicily, where the city of Messina was destroyed by the gigantic earthquake of December 28, 1908. This storm was a portion of the tremendous atmospheric disturbance which during twenty-fouhours had killed scores In a Portugal cloudburst and wrecked muny fishing smacks off the coast of Brittany. Fragamentary reports received In this city reveal that the number of dead may not be known for days as countless fishing vessels had gone to sea before the storm broke. Some may hare outridden the waves' fury. There was no flood here at Naples, but the force of the storm tied up all shipping, no vessels daring either to enter or depart from the harbor during the night. To the southward a gigantic tidal wave, followed by a hurricane, beat against the shores oCalabria, wrecking numerous small crufts caught Inshore and destroylug tiny fishing villages. The hurricane even extended as far Inland as the city of Monte-leon- e far back from the Gulf of San Eufemla where roofs were wrenched from half a hundred houses while the populace of 12000 persons sought safety In the neighboring hills. The little city of Bagnara, on coast as the head of the Strait of Messina, was virtually wiped out by the tidal wave and thousands of acres of vintage land were flooded. It is not known how many of the 7600 population survived, but It is believed most of them found safety in time. Bagnara is especially noted among British and English artists,-who have painted thousands of views of Sicily from the hills. Messina, the Sicilian city of 150,000 totally wrecked by the earthquake of 1908, again experienced a series of tremors, followed by a stifling whirlwind. Great damage to property was done by the wind's force. It is believed little loss to life resulted there. The tidal wave swept with great power Into the Strait of Messina, but practically all fishing vessels In it were able to reach harbor before the blow fell. Reports Vecelved In Naples indicated that the greatest financial loss would not result from property destroyed, but from hundreds of thousands of acres which were flooded. The province of Calabria especially depends upon its exports of wheat, oil and wine, and It Is believed the tidal wave caused damage to the vintage regions which cannot be placed in producing shape for months. r 's Would Restrict Radio Stations Washington. A bill proposing to give the secretary of commerce wider power.

FILL PEACE PET LOCARNO AGREEMENT APPROVED BY REICHSTAG; VOTE STANDS 300 TO 174 Question of Joining World Alliance of Nations Carries by Lsrgs Majority; Entry to League of Nations Is Approved Berlin. The relchstag has accepted the Locarno peace pacts fully. On the third reading of the bill permitting the government to sign the treaties of London, the parliament passed the resolution. ThiJ was the upshot of a fight, regarded as sure to fall, engineered by nationalists and communists against the measure on the ground largely that the pacts did not give sufficient reciprocity to Germany, while they allegedly voluntarily confirmed Germany's previous acceptance . of the Versailles treaty. The vote was 300 to 174. The relchstag also approved the concomitant measure providing for Germany's entry Into the league of nations. The application for admission is scheduled to be made soon. The vote on the league question was 278 to 1S3. After the votes on article 1 and 2, authorizing signing and league entry, the relchstag accepted the entire Locarno bill, 291 to 171. Berlin. Charges made in French newspapers that lack of interest In the Locarno pact was evidenced by the United States in its abstention from participation in the Locarno conh ference are combatted by the Polltisch Korrespondenz, which sometimes reflects the view of the German foreign office. The newspaper says the United States, by a deliberate, definite plan Is combatting Balkanization of the European continent and attempting to strengthen the principle that International conflict must be avoided as ruinous, not only to the combatants, but to the whole continent of Europe. While the United States did not openly participate at Locarno, the paper. says, that country undoubtedly Influenced the deliberations along these lines. After the Locarno question, the relchstag will be confronted with lively debate over the claims of the Hohenzollerns for hundreds of millions of murks for their estates, art treasures, crown silver and other objects of value seized when Germany became a republic. In political circles it Is asserted the one time reigning family Is evincing a disposition to demand Its pound of flesh, notwithstanding the country's poverty. The Hohenzollerns thus fur have won every case they have brought In the courts for the return of disputed lands or art objects. Ancient documents purporting to show personal ownership by the Hohenzollerns were Introduced. The former holdings of the Hohenzollerns, according to the contention of the Prussian state, runic to them by virtue of their being kings and therefore with the abolition of the monarchy reverted to the state. The Judges, before whom the cases have been heard, have rejected this contention. There Is considerable speculation whether If an agreement wus reached to settle with the emperor on a rash basis it would be possible to pay In gold without endangering the stubllity of Germany's exchange.
