Some Want War to End But

AN ECONOMIC BATTLE
This Is Meeting Opposition From

Prolongation of Trouble
Beclouding Europe

Paris, July Correspondence of
the Associated Press.)-The division of
the socialist party in the Chamber of
Deputies on the question of peace and
the proposed economic war foreshad-
ows a complicated conflict in that
party
The revolutionary socialists demand
an immediate armistice, while the more
moderate voted the war appropriations
because they are in favor of peace only
through the final victory of the allies.
The moderate socialists declare, how
ever that they will not accept a pro-
longation, in an economic war, of the
disasters of the European conflict. In
that, the moderates are again divided
since they had in their ranks Jules
Guesde, minister of state without port
folio; Marvel Sembat, minister of pub
lie works. and Albert Thomas, under
secretary of war, who, as members OF
the government, are committed to the
policy of economic measures against
the central empires after the. war.
Eighty-seven of the LOG socialists of
the chamber signed the statement in
favor of continuing the war and
against subsequent economic con-
flict. Three of them, Henri Brizon
Alexandra Blanc and Raffin Dugens--
all of them former school teachers
and members of the prohibited school
teachers union-voted against the ap-
preparations and demanded an imme-
date peace.

LITTLE WOMAN LIKE
 A LITTLE LEARNING
Mher May Be Dangerous, Says
 Rae Tanzer'S Prosecutor

New York, June 9.-For the fourth time since her lit of temper in which she decided to wreak her ven- eeance on "Oliver Osborne," Rae Tanzer was the central figure in a court proceeding yesterday. The tiny milliner said she had lost twenty-four pounds since her court adventure began, and what was left looked about like nothing at all, surrounded, as it was, by broad-shouldered law yers and a jury of siX-footers.
 The elusive "Oliver" is still miss ing. James w. Osborne, whom Rae Tanzer accused of being "Oliver," was not in court, either. William Rand, IT,, special counel for the govern lpent described both men in detail for the enlightenment of the jury.
 "Oliver Osborne was a cheap, flashy bounder," he said. "who was in the habit, as the saying goes, of picking up shop girls. This de- fGadant is here charged with perjury, in that she sWore the man she knew was James W. Osborne when she could not honestly have so believed. James w. Osborne is no more like Oliver than an apple is like a pump Kin. Why, if there is anything be- side the City hall clock that is well known to the citizens of New York :c is the psysiognomy of James w. Osborne.
 Slade Asks Postponement.
 There will be a lot of talk, gen. tlemcn of the jury, about this tiny little girl, but you are too grown up to be influenced by such nonsense. A little woman, like a little learning, may be 9 dangerous thing.'
 Benjamin Slade, counsel With Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler for Rae Tanzer, attempted to obtain a post ponement until Monday on matters connected with the retirement of Harold Spielberg. Judge Wolverton, after a two-hour conference, in structed the lawyers to proceed. Mr. Cn the ground that an important wit ness was missing. The witness, how ever proved to be in town, and MT. Blade afterward seemed glad of it.
 Hes one we've been looking for for a year, he said ''There1l be some fireworks when he gets on the stand.'
 Beyond this, he answered all Ques- tons concerning the new witness with an amused smile and nothing more The witness is called William Hawley, said to be the brother of Alan R. Fawley, president of the Aero club of

the testimony consisted almost en- tirely of minutes taken at the trial cf Frank Stafford a year ago. It was then that Rae Tanzer identified James w. Osborne as the man she had promised to marry, and it is for ti1e statement so identifying him that she now faces the perjury charge.
