Insists Wirth

the Country's Situation

Agitation Is Condemned
Chancellor to Appear To-
day Before Committee i'm
Effort to Aid Government

BERLIN, Nov 27 (By The Associated
Press) Now that Aristide BRAND. the
French Premier, is homeward bound
from the Washington conference, the
newspapers here are urging Chancellor
Wirth to abandon his reserve, at least
to the extent of informing the Ameri-
can public of "the uselessness of Mr..
Brands arguments in support of
Frances attitude on disarmament"
The newspapers say that the Wirth
government did not desire to engage in
acrimonious controversy with M.
BRAND while he was the guest of the
United States, but that now he will be
expected to discard the considerations
OF etiquette and make q plain-spoken
declaration of Germany's case.
DR.. Wirth tomorrow will appear be-
fore the Reichstag Committee on For
eign Relations with the purpose of dis
cussing the French Premier's utter
ances at the Washington conference.
The "Boerscn Courier" demands that
the Chancellor shall lose no time in
opposing what is termed "French agita-
tion" and that, if need be, he shall 20
before the Reichstag in the nation's
defense.
The "Boersen Journal" expresses the
belief that American ears will not be
deaf to the presentation of Germanv,s
case. This newspaper declares that
vhlle France annually is recruiting
fresh military classes there are 4O0.-
600 Germans who would have been
eligible under the old army orpaniza-
tion to be called to the colors each
year now left without military train
ing.
"The preponderance of man power
on the French side under these con-
ditions," the newspaper continues. "is
so overwhelming that Germany. if fet-
tered by che Versailles treaty for an
other generation. could not euualize

years: Does BRAND actually fear Ger

been decided against Germany, as shs.
would have been obliged to face

regularly organized reserves. Who
would be the aggressor under such
conditions? We are willing to leave

them, If only to establish blockade
in case of need.
What, then, does France ask? Tho

and has no colonial empire in Africa
She wants 100000 tons. But by war
ships! she does not mean ironsides OF
dreadnoughts or uper-dreadnoughts
France does not believe in the neces
sity of those costly mastodons; fur
thermore, she does not need them fo1
the objective she has in view. She ex

ment--in other words, liaison, police
and blockade boats, not offensive ships
to fight great naval battles.
France also asks 70 be allowed te
start construction on ships OF this
kind as early as 1925. so that about
1881 or 1882 they may be ready fol
use. She is willing to agree not tc
put a single one in service before
1881, SO that the ten-ycar rule will be
construction, at least as regards the
actual use of her new units.
Finally, France, if she does not be-
lievc in the defensive power of dread
noughts, believes greatly in the de.
fensve power of submarines, and she
asks for the right to have the same
tonnage as America and England OF
10000 tons. If this tonnage. as there
is some talk of doing, is to be reduced
to $4,000 France will ask for rs 900.
II. G. Wells, who does not laugh read

fact that France wants submarines

all Wells's sympathy; and there is Rus
sia, Russia to whom goes out his adj

that this world holds. They NAV be
sickly and weak to-day, but given many
more theorists of the Wells type they
will soon get their strength and health
back. We want to be able to defend
ourselves. That in itself may be an ex.
traordinary thing-but so it is.
And that is how the matter of the
french naval demands stands. 1t would
be difficult to deny their moderation
And France is ready to make them still
more moderate in order to insure full
and complete success to Mr. Hughes s
program. France is as eager for the
realization of that program as if It
were her own. She will never be the
nation to do the slightest thing to make
it fail. On the contrary, she will stand
ready to consent to the utmost sacri-
fees in order to make it the greatest
of triumphs.

and when to that is added the personal

country no man whose rank is like that

special.
1t used to be said that Americans
thought but little Of such questions Of
rank and precedence, Senator's wives
excepted. But it appears that even
their husbands are sensitive, il one
may judge by the utteranccs of fiery
Senator from Georgia.
According to this gentleman. many
Senators are intensely indignant over
the manner in which they have been
compelled to take back seats at this
conference. That the wives of Cabinet
officers should precede them is bad
enough. but that persons whom the
Senator describes with his usual tact
as "a lot of little weevils who are at
tached to embassies and legations are
given precedence over them is appar-
emily too much for plain Tom Watson.
Perhaps that is one of the reasons
the foreign delegates seem to enjoy Civ
ing receptions for the newspaper mon.
1t is difficult to say whether the repre-
sentative of a Cincinnati paper shall
precede the man from Indianapolis or
whether New York follows London, so
that as a rule it is generally fixed on u
basis of first come first served.
The japanese already have given a
dinner and a reception to the press, as
have also the British and the Chinese.
The Dutch keep open house tomorrow
night, and now that the precedent is
established the others probably will fol-
low suit. Of them all, for some strange
reason, the Chinese seem best to under
stand the American mentality They
have not the anxiety of the Japanese to
''do the right thing"
What, for example, could be more
appealing than the following invita-
tion to an unofficial Chinese function =?
"Mr. Ling and I are giving a Chinese
dinner party to a small group of news
paper men tonight at 6:30. We feel
that the party will be incomplete with
out your presence, and like to request
you to be there to try some special m>
portations from China. The affair
will not take place longer than one
hour and we hope you will come. No

not deal with any third party. A posi-
ton differing from that of Mr. Dodge,
however, was taken UP by B. Scebohm

disappeared.
lie wore both handouts and ankle
irons when he left here on Saturday,
but he Dragged to the detectives Of the
New York Automobile Squad that they
would hear from him again. They al
ready had tested his mettle, for on the
day of his arrest in this city he jumped
out of n car in Riverside Drive and
was captured only after Detectives
John Dineen and Christian Wackerly
had pursued him, showering bullets all
the way down the drive and through
lot between 140th and 139th streets
AS the New York police get the story
from Washington. the two Washington
detectives. with Garrett in their charge
and apparently helpless. were within
seventeen miles OF the capital when en-
gine trouble developed. One of the
detectives went back along the road
TO see If he could rout out a mechanic
to fix It, Suddenly Garrett, who had
feigned sleep, leaped out of the car and
dashed into patch of woods, the clank-
Ing of the loose steel proving he had
somehow managed to break the fetters
that held his ankles together.
A little later a stranger stopped a
truck which was moving toward WASH
ington along the main road, a mile or
so from the spot where Garrett had
riade his break for liberty. He held
lip two manacled hands and said to the
driver and the drivers helper:
Boys. I'm a revenue officer. I've
