APPROVE ADVANCE
 ID AID EXPORT OF
 COTTON 10 EUROPE
Action Is Complete Reversal of Policy of Houston, Who De- cIined to Aid Exports to
 Germany
By Associated Press

Washington March 16.--Announce- ment of Its approval. of an application of two American banking institutions for an advance to assist in financing the exportation of about 15,000 bales O. cotton to Germany and Czecho- -Slo> vakia, was made today by the war fi- nance corporation. The amount of the advance has not yet been determined
 Approval of an application for fi- nancing exports to Germany is com plete reversal of the treasurys policy under former Secretary Houston. MT Houston took the position that whils this country y#s technically at war with Germany the government could not even indirectly assist the enemy with loans. No comment on this change of policy was made in the war finance corporations announcement.
 Only small part of the cotton would go to Germany, Managing Di- rector Mclean explained, and the ad- vance could in no sense be regarded as loan to Germany. The advance is made. he said to American bankers on absolute adequate security to enable them to finance the exports. The cor- poration he added, consderes all ap> plications made to it. but creates no precedent by its action.

N, C.&ST.L. CALLS MEETING ID PLAN
 WAGE REDUCTIONS
Representatives of UnskiIIed Employees Asked to Confer at Nashville on
 March 21

Atlanta. March 16.-The Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad to- day announced that it had requested a conference of representatives of it's unskilled laborers in Nashville March 21 to propose wage reduction. The amount of the proposed reduction was not stated.
 Grand lodge representatives of the various unions involved who are here in connection with the Atlanta Bir- mingham and Atlantic railway wage reduction strike declined tonight to in- dicate their attitude on the proposal. The proposal of the Nashville, Chatta, nooga and St Louis is the first made by any railroad entering Atlanta with the exception of the Atlanta, Birming ham and Atlantic, but such action has already been taken by most of the big railroads of the north and west, There was no indication whether the Nash viile Chattanooga and St. Louis pro- posed later to seek reduction of the pay of it's skilled employees, including train crews and shopmen.
 The notice, made public here in the form of a bulletin signed by General Manager Bruce, at Louisville, stated that the conference was called under the provisions of the transportation act, and that if it were not possible that a wage readjustment could be agreed upon that the road would ask the employees involved to join 1t in ap- pealing to the United States railway labor board at Chicago to adjust the matter.
 The employees involved as announced in the bulletin include:
 Coach cleaners; semi-skilled work CTS in the mechanical department, sta tionary firemen, boiler washers, track and roadway laborers of the mainte' nance and construction depar tment boarding and camp car employees freight truckers and stowers, train ant station porters and janitors, mail ant baggage handlers station attendants and other common and semi skilled la borers.

Ardmore, Okla, March 16.-Judge Thomas w. Champion, in his charge to the jury today, said that before a per son could justify killing on the plea of self-defense. there must exist req sonable ground to apprehond design either to take the life of the defendant or to do her some great personal in- jury and it must reasonably have ap- peared to the defendant that there was carried out"
 The defendant claims as justifica- tion that she acted in self-defense of her person. the charge read. Tt is the right of every person to act in defense of her own person. where she Is ast sailed in such way to make it reason ably appear that her life at the time was in imminent danser or that she was in imminent danger of serious personal injury"
 The charge of Judge Champion to the jury consisted of 34 articles in IT type written pages.
 The court charged the jury on homi- eide and manslaughter in the first and second degrees and brought out the diff ferent points of Justification.
 WHEN HOMICIDE ExCUSABLE
 Article Il was paid especial attention. It follows:
 You are instructed, gentlemen of the jury, that homicide is excusable when committed by accident or misfortune or in doing any lawful act by lawful means with usual and ordinary caution and without any unlawful Intent.

Says Great Britain
 Ready to Meet U. 5.
 In Disarmament Plan
Bx Associated Press

London, March 16.--Baron Lee or
 Fareha7n, first lord of the admiralty,
 discussing naval matters at meeting
 of naval architects here today re-
 ferred to the question of disarmament.
 He said the only question was, who
 would initiate the discussion, but on this point the British government would
 not stand on ceremony. The govern
 ment. he declared. welcomed the hint
 thrown out by President Harding in his
 inaugural address and the suggestion
 would meet with cordial and helpful response here.
 T can only say" Baron Lee added, that if. an invitation comes from Washington, am prepared to put aside all other business in order to take part in business than which there can be nothing more pressing in the affairs in this world"
 Baron Lee said he agreed with MT. Denby, the American Secretary of the Navy, that Great Britain and America could control the seas
 "But," he added, "the question is whether we have the right of direc. | tion with regard to our navies when consulting each other. In that respect lI think this government has a clear record. In the present estimates we have set an example of reduction and taken risks and are prepared to go far in mutual agreement
 Tt is not enough to talk about blood being thicker than water. What we lwant is the plain horse sense character listic of both countries. From my long knowledge of America, have pro- found belief In the business of talking and appealing to the square deal. l hold strongly that we are not engaged f in game of bluff, but that we ought to lay all our cards on the table.

 Paragraph 12 reads; You are fur ther instructed. gentlemen of the jury. that homicide is justifiable when com mitited by any person In the following cases; First, when resisting an att tempt to murder a person or to com init any felony upon such person.
 Second when committed in the law full defense of such person or when there Is a reasonable ground to apprehend a design to commit felony or to do some great personal injury and imminent danger of snch design being accom- plished by the person killed"
 The court contnued:
 SELF-DEFENSE CLAIM
 "In this case, the defendant, Clara Smith Hamon, in support of her plea O. not guilty, claims as a Justification for said homicide that she acted in self defense of her person. that Is. that the defendant, Clara Smith Hamon, pleads that she did the killing. but that the same was done to prevent.the deceased from either killing her or doing her serious bodily harm. II is the right of every person to act in defense of her own person, wnere she is ssailed in such a way as to make it reaspnably appear that her life at the time was in immi- nent danger or that she was in immi- nent danger of serious personal injury. You are instructed that before person can justify killing upon the plea that she acted in self-defense there must not only have existed at the time of the killing reasonable ground to apprehend design on the part of the deceased to
