BRAND INSISTS
FRANCE NEEDS
SMALL WARSHPS
Admits Ratio of Capital
Ships Is Proper for
All. @

LONDON. Dec 20. -Aristide
BRAND, premier Of France. in an
informal interview here. has out
lined the French naval policy as it
will be expressed in Washington,
and reiterated his country's need Of
small defensive craft such as cruis-
ers, destroyers, submarines and
auxiliaries.
BRAND pointed out that France
has no need for capital ships, but
that the Washington ratio had been
worked out on a basis of big ship
tonnage. allotting a proportion to
each nation. He indicated that this
method of arriving at the agree
ment was not satisfactory to
France and that it was probable
that the delegates from Paris win
continue their fight for revision.
France agrees that the ratio as
applied to capital ships is proper.
But she wants permission to con-
struct a navy with a larger tonnage
of small vessels than could be al
lowed under the IL standard.
BRAND was loud in praise of the
Washington conference. as a
"hOie' "Nh polh'eN Ou' mat II was
an ECONOMY" conference in that
it enabled nations to reduce the
number and decrease the expense
of upkeep of great war vessels.

submarine is an instrument of in
human crime is concerned. the
French premier declared II a mere

stroyer could also have sunk the

Conference Bewildered

Conflicting Statements From White House
On Meaning of Treaty Create Odd Situa-
ton Over Islands, Says Simonds.

without reservation accepted this
Interpretation OF the language OF

power treaty. precisely as the state

irmed.
oddly enough. Senator Lodge, in
his speech presenting the treaty.
made no declaration which could
by any stretch of imagination ne
described as clarifying this point.
To the French. at least this
omission came as a great surprise,
for they had understood and ac-
cepted the four-power treaty in its
fullest meaning; had approved OF II
as such. and NJ Viviani had. in
point of fact. intended TO make
much reference to this circum-
stance in the speech which he was
10 deliver following Senator Lodge.
Surprised by Senator Lodges reti-
cence on this point, and fearing
that he might be guilty Of indis-
cretion, he also avoided all refer
ence to the geographical extension
OF application of the four-party
treaty.
One Other Factor.
There remains one other factor
in the situation which attracts at
tention. Up TO the moment when
publication of the true extent of
the treaty was had in the American
press. opposition TO IL in the Sen
ate seemed negligible. Since that
time. however, IL has been unmis-
taxable that there has been grow
ing doubt and increasing opposi-
ton. There is no use in attempt
ing to disguise the fact that the
lack of clarity in Senator Lodges
first statement as a consequence
Of which full meaning of the treaty
came later and as surprise 20

political effect and has created a
certain degree of doubt as to the
ultimate fate OF the four power

best remember the fight that was
waged over the league Of nations

BRAND Softening Toward
European Economic Parley

LONDON. Dec. 20.-It is reported
on excellent authority that the atti-
tude of Premier BRAND toward an
all European economic conference
which would embrace Germany and
Russia. is now softening. In fact
the French leader is said to have
agreed with Lloyd George, in prin-
ciple at least. that such gath ering
would not only be highly useful,
but that it Is almost necessary II
the present tangled financial situa-
tion in Europe Is to be relieved.
BRAND will accept Lloyd Georges
standpoint, however, only IL the
usual concessions" which always
accompany the governments recess
sion from any foreign policy to
which the nation, has become COM
mitted. are granted by the Brit
ish.
1t is expected, therefore. that be-
fore such a conference can be ar
ranged. BRAND will ask for sitter
roparations terms than these pro-
posed by England. and an ackp
edgment of all Russia's debts, both
to foreign nations and to indi-
viduals
The conversations thus far held
have developed to a game of barter
on both sides. BRAND believes that
the economic situation in the United
states must compel her eventually
to enter an economic conference
such as that suggested. which
would naturally consider such is
sues as Europe's debt to America,
but he admits that public opinion
in the United States is not YET
for such a move.
No decisions regarding repara-
tions have yet been reached. BRAND
insists that Germany can and must
pay her January and February in
staliments. The two premiers

Six-Shooter Rule
Eks Citizens of
Oklahoma County
Troops Asked to Quell
LalDIess Bands Accused
OF Three Murders.

ARDMORE, Okla, Dec. R0.-The
last bit of the 'old West" is to be
Investigated.
Carter County. which still boasts
OF its quick-shooting gunmen and
citizens who believe in fast justice,
and at their own hands, is to be
the scene of a grand jury investi-
gatfon, which aims to make this
district as peaceable as a Massa-
chusetts township.
The grand jury investigation, in
stigated by the murder of three
citizens. for which fourteen are in
jail. including one preacher, may be
held under the guard of State
troops, 1t developed today. While
Gov. ]. B. A. Robertson refused Il
request for troops during the grand
jury session, it was stated at Du-
rant that the company of the Ma
tional Guard there had been ordered
to mobilize for field duty. 1t is be-
lieved that the troops would not be
called unless further disorders
occur
The investigation will probe ac-
tivities of bands OF masked night
riders, and the attacks by other
bands who have abducted citizens
and 6ogged them. 1t is charged
that Carter County is infested by
organizations of men who are TAX
ing the law into their own hands,
So intense is the feeling that a
jury will be obtained with difficulty,
it is predicted.
OKLAHOMA CITY. Dec. 90. -
"pespotism of the six shooter" in
Carter County was described to
Gov. Robertson here today by q
delegation of Ardmore citizens, who
appealed for State troops to quell
lawlessness.
The six shooter rules the county.'
the governor was told by Rev. r. l.
Davidson. Fourteen men are held
in Jail at Ardmore without counse'
or cause. Four are members of my
congregation, and / know them &c
be innocent"
Others told the governor they had
been threatened with death IL they
interfered with the operations o
masked bands.

Germans Buy Back
Ships British Won
Part of England's Fleet In
cluded, to BE Made Into
Farm Tools and Autos.

BERLIN, Dec. 2o.-In confirming
a previous report that a German
firm had bought the entire Ger
mar feet in British waters not sunk
in Scapa Flow for $40. .o00. 900. an
entente official declared today that
Great Britain has sold to German
firms numerous British dread
nsughts and destroyers. This deal,
involving a tonnage of mary thou
sands. was consummated immedi-
ately upon the announcement OF
President Harding's disarmament
program
The most remarkable feature OF
the second sale is the fact that
Great Britain has sold Germany
numerous destroyers, including
many of the 1918 class which were
considered the finest afiost, and like
wise two drea6naughts which at
the eid of the war were considered
naval wonders.
AS soon as everything is signed
ON the dotted line at Washington,
Great Britain will float the big
feet to German hsrbors where the
German government will dispose of
the ships
The second deal made between the
two governments involves millions
of dollars. Moreover. a. is considered
the s-lvation u Germsny's automo-
bile and farm machinery Industry,
which It is declared is short of FIRST
class steel
The German government will sp-
portion the warships to German
manufacturers who will claim their
share after the ships have been
junked at Kiel. Bremen ard other
shipyards.

FIND JAIL BREAKER
ON CHICKEN FARM

CHICAGO, Dec. a0.-With a repu-
tation as a desperate reaching from
coast to coast. the capture Of George
Rogers near here today while he was
feeding the hens on a chicken farm
was hailed by Federal officials as
unusual luck.
Rogers latest exploit was his es-
cape from the Toledo Jail with two
others held on charges in connec-
ton with the s1,o00,o00 mail rob-
berry In that city. Previously, he
is alleged to have escaoed frsm a
San Francisco Jail.
Postal inspectors learned That Reg
ers had been corresponding with a
Toledo girl. Securing his assumed
name, they traced him to a Palos
Park farm.
