FREEDOM OF THE SEAS
POLICY At CONFERENCE

President Wilson will stand pat at
Paris on his definition of freedom Of
the seas. as given in his famous
ee-without-victory" message to
the Senate, January -, 1917.
In that speech he declared that so
far as practicable, every great people
now struggling toward q full develop
ment OF It's resources and Of its pow
ers should be assured a direct outlet
to the great highways OF the seas"
If this could not be accomplished
by cession Of territory. he recon-
msnded that Il be doue by neutrali-
zation OF direct rights OF way.
He declared that great preponder-
ing arrnaments" II continued will rob
the world OF sense Of safety and
equality.
These thoughts still constitute the
backbone OF the Presidents policy, IL
was learned definitely today.
He stressed then. as he does now.
this idea:
''The question Of armament whether
on land or sea is the most immediate
lY and intensely practical question
connected with the future fortunes OF
nations of mankind.

Freedom OF the seas. he regarded,
as closely connected with a lirhIta-
ton Of naval armament and tho CO.
operation OF the navies of the world
in keeping the seas at once free and
safe.
And the question Of limiting naval
he continued. "opens the
wider and perhaps more difficult
question Of the limitation OF armies
and Of all programs OF military pre-
paration.
Difficult and delicate a. these
questions are. they must be faced with
rhe utmost candor and decided in a
spirit OF real accommodation. II peace

He was the last chaplain. II was

Chaplain Davitt had been attached

1t was to be used in the nag raising
when hostilities stopped. A few min

clearing and q shell struck him. He
was killed instantly.
He was worshiped by the entire d.
vision A casket of, oak was made
,for him, lined with an olive drab
blanket. Another blanket was folded
and used as q pillow. The flag that
he gave Colonel Eckert and which
was to have been used In q hag-rais-

with one OF the most impressive cere-

The hearse was for4ed with two

made In Berlin yesterday.
As was, pointed out In recent dis
patches, the German Moderates do
not wish to burden themselves with

former Emperor and his eldest son,
because 1t would inevitably lead to a

The president Of the Hamburg

evidence that twenty bags OF gold

DENVER, Dec. S.-The
only considerable. body of
radium-bearing uranium in

camp near Boulder, COL,

Dr.. c. E. Scholl, Govern

MAY PROVE BOOZE
WARRANTS FAULTY

IL Attorney James A O'Shea can
show in police court Monday that the
warrants on which 500 alleged boot
leggers were arrested are faulty and
illegal, the men and women taken In
the raids by the police on Thursday
and Friday probably will be released.
oShea has filed a demurrer to the
warrant on which his client was ar
rested and IL IL Is sustained by Judge
Hardison, 1t is likely that attorneys
Tor the others arrested will take
similar action to obtain the discharge
or their clients. all OF whom are
charged with violation of the proela-
nation OF President Wilson, prohibit
ing the possession. except for per-
sonal use and family consumption, of
liquors in zones within fiVe miles Of
military reservation.
Believe IL q VIoIatioa.
The question has arisen as to
whether the police have found a way
under the proclamation of the Presi-
dent to wipe out bootlegging in
Washington. Major Raymond W.
Pullman. superintendent of police, and
Assistant United States Attorney
Ralph Given believe they have.
The arrests OF men and women as
they arrived in Washington on Thurs
day and Friday night with suitcases
and bundles laden with whiskey were
based on legal opinions Of United
states District Attorney John e.
! l.askey and members Of his office
force, that Ii Is a violation OF the
proclamation OF President Wilson, is
sued in July. 1917, to bring liquors
into Washington.
Judge Listens IntentIy.
Assistant District Attorney Ralph
Given admitted TO the court that It
was not a violation OF the procIama-
tion for a person to bring any guam
tity OF liquors into the District for
personal or family consumption.
Judge Hardison listened intently
to the arguments of Attorney Shea
and Mr.. Given. and said he would
reply to the demurrer Monday. In the
meantime, the 800 men and women,
arrested in the police raids are await
ing the decision.
Attorney O'Shea fled the demurrer
when his client, Frank p. Leach, was
brought to trial. Mr.. O'Shea con-
tended IL was not necessary for his
client to prove to the court that the
whiskey he had when arrested was
for his personal or family consump-
ton.
That's a matter for the police to
prove" said the lawyer.
