 Paris, June 2S.Prominent French men and women, including the coun- try's leading lawyers, writers and pariaInemtarians have suddenly plunged into a controversy over the application of something akin to the American 'unwritten law" but broadened to include every kind of So-called Hove murder"
 The discussion arose over the ac- quittal of a young engineer who shot and killed the husband of his former mistress in the street, without any preliminary discussion taking place. His only excuse was that he loved the woman and that his victim had talk en her from him.
 The Countess de Noailles immedi- tely pronounced her opinion.
 '"The jury was right,P she said. ''In q crime like this, where love is so important an element, where there is so much human tragedy involved, a jury has the right to find that there were two victims-the man who fired the shot, as well as the man who fell dead at his feet.''

Sold by America Stolen by
French Officer, Commerce
Secretary Informs Senate

PARIS, April / (By The Associated
Press). The disposal by the French
government of American army stocks
was discussed In the Senate last night
during the debate on the budget Sen
ator Pierre Berger demanded informa-
tion of the government as to whether
many automo obiles had not disappeared
from American camps taken over by
the French authorities
THAT is not disputed" replied Andra
Paisant. Under Secretary of the Minis
try Of Commerce, who was charged
with the sale Of the American stocks.
Senator Berger. continuing, said hs
had heard of new A,perican ambu
lanccs being sold foa 1000 or 4,0So
francs at Camp Ciavros on one day
and being resold in Paris the next day
for 10000 or 12,000 francs.
Senator Berger continued his criti-
cism Of the French officials, after
which M. Paisant replied ut length, but
saying in part:
eve bought the American stocks for
S100,000,000, the dollar being calculated
at seven francs. i was understood
payment was to be made in ten years,
bearing interest, on the exchange rate
of the dollar the day payment is due.
We have sold from the stocks 1885,
100000 francs worth, SO that, cons1d
ering payment is to be made ten years
hence. it is quite possible TO suppose
the dollar will be at the normal cx-
change rate or near it. We have also
about 81 200 100000 francs worth still
to sell.
"The camps were transferred to US
without detailed inventories. The
Americans reserved the right to take
from the camps whatever was neces-
sary for their existence until their
departure from France, and conse-
quently, the stores were diminished.
Besides. there were numerous errors.
Thus, on the one hand, we counted
upon $4,000 automobiles, but only
5000 were found. Of these $4,000.
/ 800 have been stolen. The guilty
one, an officer. has been condemned"
The officer responsible for the thefts,
as brought out by further questions,
was Il Frenchman. NJ. Paisant, after
some further explanations, said:
81 have just spoken Of a theft which
7 have been obliged to allude to with
much delcacy. 1t concerns the fault
Of an individual and cannot in any
fashion be thrown upon the great ma
tion to which we in so large q part owe
our victory" This evoked much
applause.
