England Seeks Open Confab

SfirS Criticism of France

sist British journalists in getting
news from the British delegation.
While performing this task he
was quite willing, indeed anxious,
to have American correspondents
attend and take whatever news he
was ginving out He didn't say he
was an official spokesman. Never
theless, it was a fact that Lord Rid
dell did the same kind of a thing
at the Versailles conference and
has presented the British viewpoint
after the meetings of the supreme
council in Paris. He is an intimate
friend of Prime minister Lloyd
George and is said to have been
making private reports by cable TO
the prime minister separate and
distinct from the reports sent by
Mr.. Balfour and to the officials of
the British delegation. He is a sort
He now claims his status is simply
that of a publisher.
Lord Riddell departs tomorrow
for England, and when he goes
there will be a sigh of relief. not
from the correspondents who have
obtained so much information from
him, but from the members of the
various delegations who have felt
i'll at ease over his anomalous posi-
ton. There is no objection to pub
licity representatives or prOpagan-
da agencies at this conference.
Most of the powers seem TO have
them-the Japanese, Chinese and
the rest. But even these publicity
agents are limited in what they can
say in behalf of their respective
delegations Lord Riddell observ-
ed no such limits, and on one occa-
sion read from prepared docu-
ment what appeared to be the Brit
ish viewpoint on the French pro-
posals presented in secret session.
Other Delegates Pleased.
The truth is, the delegates with
the exception of the French are
pleased that the proposals leaked
out, for world opinion has prompt
ly caused the French to modify
their viewpoint. Now the British
seeing the advantage which more
or less open diplomacy has given
them are planning to press their
advantage still further by an open
session of the conference. Relying
upon the sentiment of the Ameri-
can people as we'll as the prejudice
which exists generally against the
submarine because of the way the
Germans used the weapon in the
last war. the British will make an
attempt to meet the French demand
for a certain number of submarines
by insisting that all submarines be
abolished. The American delega-
ton favors the retention of some
submarines. An active propaganda
by shipbuilding interests has been
carried on both in France and the
United States in favor of submarine
building. The British believe they
can. however. marshal American
opinion behind their own public
sentiment against the submarine
and secure its abolition. The sig
nificant thing is that when the
conference gets into a deadlock
through the secret sessions, the re-
course of all the delegations is to
open sessions and the press.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Great Brit
ain is making a desperate effort to
take the conference out of the
meshes of private conversation and
secret debates and force the discus
sion into the open in the hope of
lining up the moral forces of the
world behind her demand that the
submarine be abolished.
The tactics of the British in
pressing for plenary session at
which the whole question of sub
marine uses might be discussed by
Arthur Balfour and Lord Lee with
the entire press present is a Sc
quel to another and much more
significant incident in connection
with the French proposal to build
10 battleships.
The French have complained to
members of the American and 9TH
el delegations of the press cam
paign conducted by the British
against them in the last few days.
They insist that the British broke
faith in permitting the public TO
know what the French battIeship
proposals were and that it had been
agreed that this would be kept Sc
cret as between Mr.. Hughes, Mr..
Balfour and the other members of
the naval committee of the powers
in conference here.
British Broke Faith!
The question Of whether the Brit
ish did or did not break faith
hinges largely upon whether Lord
RiddeII is an official representative
of Great Britain at this conference
or simply a private citizen engaged
in newspaper work. Every day for
many weeks Lord Riddell has re-
ceived the newspaper correspond
eRts not only of England but the
| United States and other countries.
and has discussed with the utmost
abandon all the matters up before
the conference. He has outlined
the British viewpoint, the French.
the American, Chinese and Japan
ese contentious with all the air of
authority that an official spOkes-
man need have to impress his apdi-
ence. The information given out
by Lord Riddell has been for the
most part authentic. So far as Brit
ish news is concerned, it has coin
cided with the moves of the delega-
ton.
In any event, what Lord Riddeil
mas said in his conferences with
newspaper men twice a day has
been telegraphed to all parts of the
United States by press associations
and cabled to the four corners of
the world He has been the most
communicative man at the Wash
ington conference, a source of in
formation on everything.
Attack Lord RiddeII.
Now Lord Riddell, in response to
the French attack on him and the
British for leaking" about the
French proposals. has declared that
he never was in any sense official,
but that he came here solely as the
representative of the British news

that his primary purpose was to as

SOLONS GROW
MIRTHFUL AT
WATSON PROBE
Senator Ernst Calls
Affair &C eorgia
Family RotU'.

Washington, Dec. 21.-CaIIed to-
day as the first in a second list OF
witnesses in the senate committee
investigation of charges by Sena-
tor watson, Democrac, of Georgia,
that American soldiers had been
hanged without a trial in France,
Marion j. Wallis of Athens, Ga,
declared he saw a corporal shoot
and kill a private soldier at Camp
Wheeler, Ga.
The witness said he did not serve
overseas and had no evidence bear
ing on executions on foreign soil.
The corporal, he said, was named
Crawford and the man shot, he
thought, Private HALEY of Tampa,
Fla.
Wallis read a letter from one of
his comrades at Sandusky, Ohio,
attacking officers of a Georgia reg
iment and indicating he would get
even some day.
Officers "Pretty Bad.-
Some of those Georgia officers
were pretty bad from that?'' Wallis
was asked
Yes, indeed" he replied.
This seems to be Georgia FAM
lily row." said Senator Ernst, Re,
publican of kentucky. and Senator
Watson joined in the laughter.
At this point Senator Watson Of

from James r. Milton of Chatta-
noOga, Tenn, saying he also had
witnessed the killing OF HALEY by
Crawford and would come to ~ ash

other telegram from w. F. Brock
of Lindale, Ga, said the soldier
was killed because he was i'll and
unable to work and that Crawford
was not tried by court martial.
Promoted After Shooting.
Wallis, however, had another
version, saying that Crawford was
tried by court martial, given a 30
day furlough and then made a SER
geant- To the best of his recollec-
ton the killing was in May or
June, 1918.
Some Of the kilograms referred
to Crawford as a captain, but Wal

corporal at the time of the shoot

There are three A. W. o. L.

he said.
Reports published at the time of
the Camp Wheeler shooting, he
said, showed that HALEY was shot

such reports were not true.
Did he give the corporal provo
cation for shooting him?' Senator
Watson asked.
None whatever. At the time lie
was shot Halley's arm had been

ing to work and then shot in the

Calls Treaty Iniqui-
ty' But Urges Ac-

Dublin, Ireland, Dec. 21-CBy
The Associated Press. )-Opposition
to referring the Anglo-Irish treaty
to the Irish electorate was voiced
by George Gavan Duffy, one of its
negotiators, in his argument for
ratification of the pact delivered in
this mornings session of the Dali
Eireann.
Dublin, Ireland, Dec. 21.-(By
The Associated Press Arguing to
the Dali -Eireann today for ratifi-
cation of the Anglo-Irish agree
ment, George Gayan Duffy, one of
the Irish plenipotentiaries said
that Prime Minister Lloyd George
had issued an ultimatum to the
Irish plenipotentiaries requiring
them to sign the treaty under
threat of immediate hostilities. He
termed it a ''monstrous iniquity''
that the delegates, who had been
invited under the prime minister's
roof for the discussion of a peace
tul settlement should have been
given only three hours to decide
the question of sigaing without the
opportunity of consulting Dublin.
The treaty, however, should be
ratified in the interests of the peo-
pie of Ireland, he said.
Duggan Denies "BIuff.-
EamOnn ]. Duggan, the last of
the Irish plenipOtentiaries to SPEAK
in this debate, denied that he had
been "bluffed" into signing the
treaty. He said he had signed it in
calm seclusion and with due con
sideration to the country, the living
and the dead"
He warmly urged ratification.
Eamon de Valera took occasion
during the session to refer to what
was printed in the morning news
papers as mis- alternative oath.
THAT OATH" he sad, was sug-
gested by me verbally when | was
critizing, not the oath in the treaty,
but another oath previously sug-
gested. l said the first oath was
inconsistent with our position and
verbally indicated what we might
take instead.
Dali AdjOurns.
THE word constitution occurs
in both oaLhs, but in one of them
refers to a constitution in which
was not a vestige of British author
ity. The other oath is one in
which the British king must be re
cogniZed as the head of the Irish
state. There is a tremendous diff
ference. though the same words
are used in both"
The Dali adjourned at 1:35 p. m,
until $3.50 O'Clock.
