TO HEARTS CONTENT,
D. c. COUNSEL DECIDES

Milady may smoke to her young
hearts content in the District
without fear of violating the law,
in the opinion of Corporation
Counsel Francis H. Stephens.
The Districts legal Interpreter
will submit to the Commissioners
this week ia formal report holding
that he knows of no law that
would prevent members of the fair
sex from putting their favorite
brands wherever mere man enjoys
that privilege.
The question of women's right
in regard to smoking was brought
to the attention of the Commits
sioners by a member Of the Rain,
bow Division Veterans.
Aside from his personal views
on the subject. Mr.. Stephens said
the cold. legal aspect of the ques-
tion is that it would be unconsti-
tutfonal to prohibit woman from
smoking as long as man. is per-
mitted to do SO.

fell into the hands of the enemy.
I mention this as evidence that the
battalion was not lost in the sense
that we did not know where it
was. 1t was cut off. -
"Col. Whittlesey's command in
making an advance penetrated
more deeply into the enemy's posi-

heavy underbrush in the forest
was difficult and before connection

CONFERENCE Is FATEFUL.
Described as Most Important Since
Versailles Treaty.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 17.-Monday's
conference in Downing street between
Premier Lloyd George and the French
premier, NJ. BRAND, relative to repa-
rations is described by the newspa-
pers here as the most fateful since
the Versailles treaty was concluded.
The meeting was arranged before
Germany's official declaration Of her
inability to pay the forthcoming repa-
rations installments, and there is a
disposition in some sections of the
press to regard the German move as
a maneuver to bring pressure to bear
on the premier's meetings. This view
is confined mainly to those newspa-
pers known for their strong advocacy
of a firmer alliance between Great
Britain and France. The general
opinion is that the Wirth govern
ment has honestly tried ITO meet its
obligations, and that it will be neces-
sary to grant Germany a delay of a
few months, If not actual moratorium.

HOUSE PASSES BILL
/. FOR RUSSIA RELIEF
President Authorized to Ex-
pend $4,000, 600 Out of
Grain Corporation Fund.

BY a vote of 1S1 to II the House
late yesterday passed a bill authoriz-
ing the President to expend $20.000.-
600 out of the fund of the United
States Grain Corporation for relief
of the famishing people of Russia.
This measure. urged by President
Harding, in his message to Congress
was bitterly contested to the last
minute. A roll call was forced on
the contention that the vote as an
nounced, ia to 81, did not show a
quorum present. The roll call re-
suited 1S1 to II.
Goes to Senate.
The Russian relief measure now
goes to the Senate. and House Lead
er Mondell announced that he ex.
poets both branches will take final
action before adjournment over the
holidays, which is planned fol-
Thursday.
In wrangling over the measure the
House attempted to chop it to pieces
with amendments. The first actual
test was on an amendment by Rep
resentative Bankhead, democrat, Ala.
bama, to reduce the amount from
$50, ,o0o, 900 to s1O,000.0o which was de.
feated, 78 to 60.
There had been two solid hours OF
debate during which a flood of elo.
uuence was let loose on the argument
that the starving children of Russia
REGARDLESS of the bolshevik ruin that
had brought about their distress
should have their cry for bread
silenced with American food, when a
new fight was started over proposals
to tear the bill to pieces.
