BY the civilized world, its elimina-
ton is regarded by officials of the
United States and allied nations as
imperatively necessary, II the un-
speakable atrocities committed by
German U-boats during the late war

an empty phrase.
The American naval official who is
quoted as saying that the Peace Con-
ference will forever bar the use OF
undersea boats declared that the sub
ject had been officially considered not
only by representatives OF the United
States. but by representatives OF the
European allies as well. They were
in agreement that the history of tho
use by Germany of her U-boats dur
ing the war prove to the consciences
OF the world that henceforth the SUD
marine must be no part Of the navy
Of any country. The determination to
eliminate teh undersea boats is so
pronounced that it is asserted by the
navy official who discussed the sub
iect that it will be one Of the first sub
iects taken Up at the peace table, and
that 1t will be quickly disposed Of by
a Unanimous vote.

and the friend sealed his lips as did
Piper. because OF a complexity OF
penalties that awaited, silent or

and State penitentiary drove Piper
to suicide.
Piper went to Hamilton. Ontario,
to look for Goldberg and Sheldon,
who actually exist" revealed the
friend today. They were hold-up
men and their last job with Piper
was at Rockford. Mich. in the rob-
berry OF the postoffice there. 1t must
have happened about three weeks
before the killing of Frieda WEIGH

Rockford awoke to the fact that the
postoffice had been rified.
Piper told me of having been in on

! resentment against her OF Goldberg
and Sheldon, who feared she would
tell. He told me they threatened then
to kill him or her to clear their way
OF escape.
Shot As She Slept.
And them" concluded the friend,
he told me that Frieda Weichmann
was shot while she slept, but he did
not tell the name OF the murderer.
Nor did he say who hid the body in
the ground or where the grave was
dug. But Frieda Weichmann was
killed rather than Piper. because
Piper could be counted on for silence.
IF he confessed to the postoffice
authorities the Federal penitentiary
was awaiting him. II he told at all
how Frieda Weichmann died, even
though he denied firing the shot. ho
