WOULD KEEP VESSELS
French Are Against the Sinking of the
German Warsllips.

Paris, Feb. 27.-The French deiega-
ton to the peace conference will ener-
getically oppose the general sinking of
the German fleet, says Stephene Lau-
zanne in the Matin.
"Other powers. Of course, may do
what they like with their share of the
fleet, but the French government and
navy is firmly determined to use the
ships which fail to France when the
fleet is divided up among the allies in
proportion to the losses each suffered
during the war.
Georges Leagues, minister of ma
rine, clearly explained the reason for
this attitude to the navy committee of
the chamber of deputies recently. He
showed how France gave up her dock
yard plants to make munitions at the
beginning of the war, stopping all
shipbuiIding. She lost Is per cent of
her naval tonnage and comes out of
the war with a weakened navy, which
she has been unable to keep in repair
for five years.
France needs navy to police the
seas and protect her colonial empire.
. the second largest in the world. What
would the country say if, year hence,
the chamber asked for vote of credit
| to build ships identical with those
sunk? The most pacific nations in
/ the world have nayies and the United
States has just drawn up the most inn
portapt program ever voted by the
American congress-"

London, Feb. 27.-Baron Islington
in the house of lords today, called at
tention to the press report that the
Paris conference was, contemplating
the sinking of all the German naval
ships now in British custody at Scapa
Flow. and asked the government if
there were any possibility of this pro-
ject being carried out.
The Earl of Lytton. parliamentary
secretary of the admiralty, replying
in behalf of the government, said he
had no authority to disclose what in

the British government attached over

these ships should not in the future
form any part of the naval armament

IN All, Committee "DispOses" of
Is Proposed Bills.

The house judiciary committee has
buried Representative Shideler's libel
and SANDER bill for the present session.
In a report to the house today the
committee recommended that the
drastic bill urged and supported by the
state labor department should be kill
ed without ceremonies. No effort was
made to override the committee re-
port or to place the bill on the calendar
for consideration on the floor.
ShideIers bill-by far the most
vicious and far reaching attempt to
muzzle the press and public speakers
proposed in Kansas in many years
was written in the offices of the state
Bureau of Labor. 1t was offered by
the Crawford county representative at
the request of the state department
Under it's broad provisions all manner
of protection would be provided
against criticism of disloyal, unpatri-
otto and disturbing influences in this
state.
A fine and jail sentence was pro-
vided for any person who might criti-

regardless of the truth of such criti-
cism. All that was necessary to secure
a conviction under the bill would have
been to show that some member of the
organization was disturbed or offended.
1t threw a blanket of security around
the L W. W., Nonpartisan league
and Bolshevik organizations which
might arise in Kansas and protect
them against criticism, ridicule or
condemnation by newspapers, maya
zines or public speakers, or protest by
individuals.

slaughtered by house committees in
the days reports! One bill covered
much of the territory defined by Amos
of Shawnee county in his bill pat
termed after the Nonpartisan League
laws of North Dakota. The public
utilities committee sent in an obituary
notice for the Williamson measure en-
abling cities in Kansas to vote bonds
for gas. water, ice, light, heat, street
railway and telephone plants
Another Williamson bill proposed
the organization of farm corporations.
