Sailors Willing
to Reduce Fleets
Declares Beatty

New York. Nov. 29.-Sailors are
perfectly willing to have their fleets
cut down, Admiral Earl Beatty Tues
day told members of the Lawyers
club.
Speaking at luncheon rendered to
him before his return to England
Wednesday on the Adriatic. the Brit
ish naval officer said Of the naval cuts
proposed at the Washington arms con-
ference:
'aThose who have served in the war
have seen something Of the devasta-
ton of war and the sacrifices of war.
We have felt that whatever our duties
are with regard to the navy, we have
a higher and greater duty to civiliza-
ton and to the government and the
country which we serve. And that is,
if it is possible, to make war i'm
possible.
II don't suppose there is a sailor in
any service who has had the experi-
ence Of war who does not wish to see
disarmament come about, and / feel
that il you viii leave this question
concerning naval disarmament to the
sailors, they will settle it in a way
which will be eminently satisfactory
to the powers Of the world

MRS. ST|L[MAN MAY
ABANDON COUNTER
ATTACK ON HUSBAND
Counsel for Banker Announces
He Will Not Contest Evil
dence on His Behavior.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y. Nov. 90
Abandonment of the counter attack
upon the conduct of James A. Stillman
by Mrs. Anne Z. Stillman in the di-
vorce proceedings instituted by the
New York banker was forecast Tues
day night, after adjournment of a one
day hearing before Referee Daniel J..
Gleason.
Mrs. Stillman, it was said, probably
would not call any more witnesses in
support of charges that her husband
was guilty of misconduct with Flor
ence H. Leeds, former Broadway show
giry.
Counsel for Mr.. Stillman announced
that the banker would not contest evil
dence touching upon his own behavior.
Testimony at Tuesdays hearing was
understood to have set forth that Mr..
and Mrs. Stillman and two of their
children stayed at suite in the 81
Regis hotel, New York. for two weeks
during February, 1918, nine months
before the birth of Guy Stillman. It
was said to have been brought out that

BOOTLEGCERS HIT
HARD BLOW BY
COURT Of APPEALS
Opinion Handed Down Declared
to Be One of Most Sweep
ing Ever Made.

Chicago, Nov. 29-An opinion
characterized by c. w. MiddIelauf,
special assistant attorney general, as
one of the most sweeping ever made
in liquor case and which upholds
government methods of prosecuting
such cases, was returned by the cir
cult court of appeals Tuesday when
the court affirmed sentence of a
wear in the penitentiary and Sl,oD
fine upon Ike Lewinsohn, former
saloon owner.
The decision upholds injunction or
ders issued by Federal Judge Il. nj.
Lands, closing more than l0O saloons
for violation of prohibition laws.
Lewinsohn was sentenced for con
tempt of court after he had violated
an order which closed his saloon.
Three-fourths of various questions
raised by attorneys in more than 30
liquor cases now pending before the
circuit court Of appeals were said to
have been settled in favor OF the gov
ernment by the decision.
It was said among other things,
that one violation of the prohibition
laws. if proved, might be taken to
show the place where it occurred is a
public nuisance. The court also held
that chemical analysis to determine
the alcoholic content of suspected
beverages is unnecessary If the evil
dence of witnesses who, have pur-
chased the liquor shows that it con-
tains an excessive amount of alcohol.
The decision also confirms the right
Of district judges to send violators to
the penitentiary for contempt for dis
regarding injunctiOns.

WOULD
HELP GERMANY
SETTLE DEBTS
Fiinanciers in England to
Discuss Matter Of
Meeting Payments.

London, Nov. 29.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. THE visit to London
of DIR. Walter Rathenau. former Ger
man minister of reconstruction, and
his secretary, DR.. Simon, well known
as an economic expert. following
closely on last weeks presence here
Of DIR. Hugo SHINES. the German
financier. is accepted in official and
banking circles as heralding an early
discussion. and possibly revision, of
the arrangements for Germany's rep
aratlons payments.
The arrival of the German agents
was due to supreme anxiety in finan-
cial quarters, where Germany's ability
to meet the approaching reparations
installment has been foremost topic
during recent weeks.
Would Help Germany
What is believed here to be the
desire Of the British government to
bring about a new discussion of the
subject of reparations is generally re-
garded as being due as much to do
mestic trade consideration as to a
realization of the precarious situation
in Germany would have to confront
should the stipulated payments to the
allies be exacted.
Pressure it is understood, has been
exerted on the government from in
fluential quarters where the belief is
held that the only way to insure even
tual adjustment of Germany's obliga-
tons is to stabilize her finances, the
first part of this plan being the stem
ming of the flood of paper marks
which are having ruinous reaction
on British trade. The plan probably
will entail deferment of Germanys
payments and there are reports in cir
culation that the British member Of
the reparations commission already
has placed before the British gov
ernment proposal for two-year or
three-year moratorium.
Stops Paper Output
The issuance of loan with allied
assistance to make Germany's finan-
cial position more secure is another
part of the plan which is said to be
receiving official attention here, al
though it is asserted that the stopping
of the printery for marks will be
necessary preliminary to any such
move for Germanys benefit on the
part Of the allies.
The British government is closely
considering every aspect of the Ger
man reparations questions. Although
it is said Doctor Rathenau holds no
official position, he probably will
have an interview with the chancellor
of the exchequer and it is believed
that his visit is not unconnected with
the submission of proposals similar to
those he entered into with France at
Weisbaden for the rehabilitation Of
devastated France, for the considera-
ton of the British government.

French "Bluebeard"
Asks for Proof Of
Alleged Murders

Versailles, Nov. 29.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press. 1.-The backbone Of
the defense in the case of Henri
Landru will be in absence of proof
that any of the | persons the de.
fendant is alleged to have murdered
are dead and also the failure of the
police ito find anything resembling
the remains of a human body"
when they first searched the Villa
Gambai. occupied by Landru on
April f3, 1919, and that the bones
and teeth produced by the prosecu-
tion we're not discovered until the
second search of the premises on
April 20.
This statement was made Tues
day by M. Moro Giaifferi, chief
counsel for the defendant, as he
arose TO address the jurors after
M. Godefroy had finished his argu-
ment for the prosecution with the
plea, at is death that I ask for
the assassin of Gambai!"
Landru, stoIid and unmoved, was
the coolest person In court during
the plea.
A wealthy Englishman offered
100 pounds sterling for the Kitchen
range alleged to have been used by
Landru in burning his victims at
Gambai. The French officials,
however, declined the offer.

AUTO TAKES PRIZE
IN BEAUTY CONTEST

Taking prizes in a beauty contest is
a new and rather unique roll played
by a REQ Sedan and Touring car. But
this is what happened at the Interna-
tional Wheat show in Wichita, Kansas,
the other day. and description OF the
beauty parade has just been received
by Howard C. Brayton, local REQ dis
tributor in a letter from the Wichita
distributor.
The REQ touring car was entered in
the $1,000 to $1,000 class, snd the new
class. The points upon which the
Judges based their decision were ap-
pearance, smoothness of operation and
ease Of control. The REQ Sedan took
first prize and The New REQ Light
Seven outranked everything In Its
class. The automobile fashion pzrade
and contest were features of the wheat
show in Wichita. More than one hun
dred cars of different makes were en-
tered in the show.
According to reports and newspaper
comments from Wichita, the REQ
passenger cars which were exhibited
during the fair attracted unusual at
tention. Particularly The New Reo
Seven was an object of considerable
During the exhibit every car entered
in the beauty contest was put through
its PAGES the same as at a horse show
and both the REQ Sedan and The New
REQ Light Seven surpassed the other
entries in point of appearance, both
models scored heavily in regard to
smoothness of operation and ease of
control. and established the new REQ
line of passenger cars as the most
beautiful in America.
According to statistics which have
just been released so per cent of all
trucks exported into Canada from the
United States during the month of
August were REQ Speed Wagons. The
records of the REQ Car company show
that the number of trucks exported
into Canada in August this year repre-
sented an increase of $50 per cent over
the number that were sent to Canada
from the United States in August of
last year.

From the Motor World, Oct. II, 1921.
A saving of approximately s12,o an

elimination of demonstrator cars driv-

Instead of having the statesmen driv-
ing about in Cole cars. burning up
gasoline and tires and making it nee
essary for us to sell the demonstrator
at great loss, we have our sales
men use Ford roadsters with our firm

These salesmen's cars serve the pur-
pose and get our statesmen over the
territory at the lowest possible cost
and it cuts the cost of joy-riding to
the minimum. When a salesman has q
