Balfour Clashes With
Colonials on Mandates
By the Associated Press.

GENEVA, Dec. 18.-The final
day of the Assembly was
marked by another encounter
between the English delegates
and the Representatives of the
British dominions. Lord Robert
Cecil, acting for South Africa,
and c. j. Doherty for Canada,
provoked an aggressive and sig
nificant declaration by Arthur j.
Balfour to the effect that if the
Assembly adopted any recon-
mendations concerning mandates
he and his successor on the
league council would pay no at
tention to them.
Lord Robert and Mr.. Doherty
criticised the council for holding
back information about man
dates and supported the recon-
mendations Of the mandates
committee, the most important
of which were that the Assembly
express the opinion that the re-
sources of the territories under
mandate should not be exploited
by the mandatories for their own
profit or for the profit of the
Allies and that the recruiting of
troops should not be allowed in
such territories.
The recommendations were
adopted unanimously.

POLICE IN RAIDS
ROUND UP THUGS
All Criminal HangOuts From
Battery to Bronx Entered in
Search for Crooks.
VICTIMS MUST EXPLAIN
Coffee Houses. Cabarets, Pool
rooms and Dance Halls Yield
Many Prisoners.
VICTIMS MUST EXPLAIN

The first concentrated police drive
to rid Manhattan of criminals was
launched just before midnight, when
scores Of policemen and detectives,
many imported from other boroughs,
swept from the Battery to The Bronx
in a series Of raids upon the criminals
gathering places. The police travelled
afoot in automobiles and in every
other way, from elevated and subway
trains to motorcycles and bicycles.
Tenderloin hangouts were the first
to receive attention from the imported
detectives These men were impressed
into service here because their faces
were not easily recognized by the men
wanted whereas most of those for
whom the police were looking had ap-
peared many times in the crooks line
ups at Police Headquarters here or in
the other boroughs. The policemen
operating in the Tenderloin were work
ing under direction of Inspector Will
lam Boettler of the Third Inspection
district
Orders for the drive followed imme-
diately the sweeping reorganization pro-
gramme launched by Commissioner En-
right after his talk with the delegation OF
business men representing the jewelry
trade. The raiders had instructions to
take into custody every person they saw
who was known TO have criminal rec
ord. Those who were recognized as
having been guilty Of crimes OF violence
were TO be taken to Police Headquarters
and held at least until they satisfied the
police regarding their recent activities
and means of livelihood.
In addition to the detectives who par
ticipated in the raids the streets of
Manhattan were beif, patrolled by
every policeman VINO could be spared
from Brooklyn and the other boroughs

those caught were known to be merely

sent to the nearest police station.
The police were careful to keep secret
the Identities as well as the numbers OF
their prisoners and the places where
they were taken into custody. In some
cases it was learned the police returned

Reply of Lloyd George.

Mr.. Lloyd George replied as follows:
IL had hoped that with moderation
and common sense on both sides it might
have been possible to reach an under
standing which would put a stop to
strife in Ireland and pave the way to a
reconciliation. You now imply that in
your judgment the only road to peace
Is the recognition of an Irish republic
and the negotiations of a treaty with
some one you designate as the official
head and President of that republic
"I have never failed to make 1t clear
that there is no possibility of settle
ment so long as the Sim Fein demands
an Irish republic. and that. though l
am willing TO explore every avenue
toward an honorable. constitutional set
tlement. there is no road to peace so
long as the Sim Fe!n persists in trying
to compel any settlement by means OF
assassination and violence. The only
way TO peace Is that the leaders of the
Sim Fein should recognize these funda-
mental facts. Their present policy is
only leading Ireland ever nearer to chaos
and ruin.
II deeply regret that you should close
the door to those counsels OF good will
which you invoked at the beginning Of
this correspondence"

DR.. Rumely was indicted in Novem-
Der. 1918. This indictment later was
superseded by another, found in May
1919. on which the trial was based.
The fourth and fifth counts of the in
dictment, on which the defendants were
found guilty. are based on the theory
that the money used in the purchase OF
the Evening Mail actually had been lent
by the German Imperial Government,
and that the defendants attempted to
conceal from the enemy alien custodian
information OF the loan. contending that
the money had been advanced by Her
man Sielcken, American coffee mer-
chant. living in Germany. The first
three counts on which the defendants
were adJudged not guilty allege that

owned stock in the EUeninD MAI, and
that the effort to show that the MONEY
