state had depended upon eireumstan
tial evidence, which he explained al
length. He called the jury's attention
to the automobile and suggested that
they inquire about it and what the re.
spondent's relations were to it and
what he did with it, also the question
of the handkerchief and all of the ties
timony in the case, including tho
analysis of the contents of the stom
ach, the food bought at the store and
the statement of the respondent.
The respondent has not seen fit to
take the stand, the Judge said. He
had the right to do that. This failure
cannot be argued against him. He dis
cussed at some length the claims of the
state and the denials by the defense
relative to the different portions of ties,
timony that was introduced.
IF you become satisfied that the re-
spondent is guilty, then you can take
up the question Of whether he is guilty
of murder in the first or second de-
grees' and, if not guilty of either Of
these, manslaughter may be considered.
And again Judge Butler explained at
some length and three above mentioned
degrees of crime. The degrees of lnur-

PEACE CONFERENCE NAY
END N NOVENBER
May Have to Adjourn Without Nego-
tiating Treaty with Hungary Be
cause of Rumania's Atti-
tude.

Paris, Oct. 3l.-The end of Novem-
Der may see the close of the Paris peace
conference which has negotiated the
peace treaties with Germany and Aus
tria and has carried negotiations with
Bulgaria well towards completion.
Unless the conference can speedily
reach an agreement with Rumania and
compel it to discontinue its interfer-
ence in Hungary affairs there seems
little chance that peace treaty can
be negotiated with Hungary at present,
in which case the conference will prob
ably close without making that treaty.
The Adriatic question will not neces
sarily prolong the life of the confer
ence and there is no disposition among
many of the peace delegates to drag
out the conference much longer for the
discussion of the European political
questions involved in the Rumanian
and Italian difficulties.
Dec. is now looked upon as the lat
est probable date for the adjournment
of the conference Rumania is sending
a special delegate to Paris to discuss
its differences with the conference and
definite settlement of the Rumanian
tangle or the abandonment of the effort
at Acknowledgement is expected very
shortly.
Indications are that the Bulgarian
treaty will be signed within week or
10 days. Then the discussions will be
gin with Rumana in the attempt to
settle the questions arising from its
seizure of Hungarian property and its
objection to guaranteeing the rights of
minorities, which was the cause of its
refusal to sign the Austrian peace
treaty.

PERSHING FOR
SMALL ARMY
Disagrees With War De-
partment's Recommends
ton for 100000 Men
POSSIBLY LESS THAN
275,000 IS URGED
Famous General Says Cost
of Keeping Large Army
Makes 1t Impracticable

Washington, d. G., Oct. 3l-Dis
agreeing with war department recon-
mendations for a permanent army Of
100000 men, General John Pershing
to-ky told joint meeting of the
Senate and House military committees
that he thought the number could be
placed at "an outside figure of 275,000
to 100000 and possibly less"
The cost OF maintaining large
army, the general said, was az element
which, in his opinion, would make it
impracticable to set the figure any
higher
The general said the regular army
should be sufficient to protect the ma
tion against sudden attack and to meet
Americas international obligations,
both on the American continent and
elsewhere, and that this should be
backed by a trained citizen reserve.
The general made plea that the
nation Keep abreast of other countries
in development of the air service and
said it also was essential that the
transport corps nurse corps and tank
corps be made adequate. He thought
the number Of officers Of high rank pro-
yided for in pending legislation was
rather excessive"
General Pershing, who appeared at a
special session of the committees which
are considering a permanent military
policy, said universal military training
was essential to preparedness.
military training makes better citi-
zens, he declared Its benefits should
be extended to all ,our young men.
Thorough service increases their ply
sique, it broadens their view of life,
and it's democratic
With universal service established,
he continued, the military establish
ment could be made up frst'of a small
party Of regulars sufficient for expe-
dictionary forces, which may be called
out to sustain our obligations on the
American continent" and to garrison
outlying possessions-which should be
backed by a force in training and be-
hind that a citizens reserve.

union which, he declared, was trying
to violate the law. He said the right
to strike was not involved

change in the policy of the government
