an Agreement

Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 1.-THE
Jury before which Roy Gardner, es-
capped convict, was being tried here
on the charge Of robbing a mail car
at Maricopa, AriZ., Nov. 3, dis
agreed Sunday afternoon and was
discharged.
The Jury had been out since Sat-
urday afternoon and had spent
about seven hours In actual delib-
GRAFTON. Judge SawtelIe ordered
the jurors not to discuss how they
voted because of the fact that an
other charge against Gardner in
v0lying' attempted robbery at Phoe-
nix is to be tried Immediately.
Judge William n. SaWteIle, who
presided over the trial; In dismiss
Ing the jury, pointed out that it
had been considering the case since
shortly after 5 O'Clock Saturday
night and declared that failure to
agree in that length of time indi-
Gated to him that the jury should
be dismissed.
The only indication of how the
jurors deliberations were proceed
ing was given Saturday night about
10 O'Clock, when they asked the
court for information as to the ef-
feet of a verdict of guilty with
recommendation that he be kept
under observation as to his sanity.

the four which the court originally
had instructed the jury 1t might
consider. Judge SawteIIe said that
if such a verdict were received he
would notify the prison authorities
of the recon mendation of the jury.
The jury spent about hours in
deIiberatioB and balloting.

EUROPE MAKING
FAST RECOVERY
CLAIMS HOOVER
Danger Of Bolshevism
Is Past; Conditions
Are Growing Better.
Currency Initiation Hold
ing Countries Back,
Declares Trade Report

Washington, Dec. 1.-The eco
nomic recovery of Europe, while nee
essarily slow and difficult, is making
substantial progress, Secretary Hoover
declared in a review of international
trade conditions made public Sunday.
The situation contains great DANGERS '
he said, but it is mot all as gloomy
as some statements would make it
appear"
A survey of European conditions, he
said, will show that the danger of
bolshevism is past" partly through I'M
proved standards Of life and partly
through the salutary lesson to Rus
sia."
The zone field of continuous degen-
eration," he declared to be that of
government finance, citing as factors
unbalanced budgets and consequent
currency initiation" The commerce of
the whole world, the secretary said,
suffers from this failure in govern
mealt finance, and unless remedies are
found the great recuperation affect
ed in social. political, industrial. agri-
cultural and commercial life will be
endangered.
The most dangerous of the unbal
anced initiation situations, Mr.. Hoover
said, is Germany, whose case depends
upon the method and volume Of repara-
ton payments" "...
"As the United States does not par
ticipate either in its control or its re-
ceipts," he added. I'VE have no voice
or right to interfere"
"Outside of the government finance
of limited number of state. the out
look is very encouraging. Democratic
institutions are gaining strength among
the 15O,OO0,O00 people formerly sup
porting autocracies. In Russia itself
extreme communism is slowly boiling
to death in a caldron Of starvation and
its leaders freely acknowledge its fail
ure.
TN the field of international polit-
icaI relations, aside from conflict in
Turkey, war has ceased and treaties
Of peace are effective throughout the
world"

FIGHTS WAY THROUGH
GUARDS ON FIVE FLOORS
What Sherman Said About
War Was Only Half Enough,
Says Transport Officer

lugger and that's the Star Spangled
Banner. Get yourselves set to
sing that or there amt going to be
no singing.
Y understand?'
They had all heard the American
anthem many times and they knew
the words about as well as the
average American, SO pretty soon
they had it going with 100 la las"
and "umpah-p -pahs" that rose in
quite an impressive patriotic
chorus.
But the problem was not solved
and the American melting pot had
not begun to melt. The French
wives said they hated the Ger
mans and the Germans said they
could forgive anybody in the
French. The song battles were
renewed daily until the Cantigny
was only about two days out of
New York and then the strain be-
came too great and French wives
and German wives mixed it sure
.enough-mixed it with hair-and
all the gentle arts of modern fem
inc warfare.
The surface was calm when the
Cantigny docked.
There is a serious side to the
arrival of these war brides in
America, however, and it is one
which is likely to mar the happi-
ness of some of the unions. These
soldier wives have been living at
Coblenz amid all the Injuries that
come with the possession of great
wealth. 1t is true their husbands
have been earning only about S33
month and one scarcely would
call that great affluence. But
American dollars translated into
German marks during the last few
months tell a different story.
Furthermore. the story is inter-
esting to those who love high fl
nance. In German marks the aver
age American soldier on the Rhire
is being paid at the rate which
would normally be the equivalent
of anything from $1,S0O to 5000
a month.
Of course the German mark
once was worth "a cents. 1t does
not buy in these days what it did
before the war. The cost of living
in Germany has increased many
fold but to the family being paid
in American dollars it is still
cheap. They will find living on
S33 a month in the United States
yery different from that life of
luxury along the Rhine.
Some one has figured cut that
an American major general on the
Rhine is paid the rate Tin German
marks) Of no less than $3.50, 900
year.
No wonder the boys are reluctant
to come home.

New oYrk. Dec. 11.-General
Sherman never travelled on any
army transport from Belgium to
the United States, especially an
army transport with 63 Gretechens
and IL suzannes aboard or he
would have amended his famous
remark and included life on the
ocean wave in the same category
as war.
For they had it on their way
over. The husbands of these
enemy wives of American soldiers
and round dozen of French wives
of American soldiers on the same
vessel was happy though for those
who did the booking-and re-
manned behind.
Oh, yes they were good mixers.
They mixed it from the very first
day out. They loved each other
like a lot of strange bull dogs.
At the start of the memorable
voyage of the Cantigny, from Ans
terdam to Brooklyn, with 602 SOL
diers returning from the Rhine on
board, the battle between the wo-
men were largely vocal. They sang
at each other, with venom in every
note.
Naturally the u suzannes were
somewhat handicapped, vocally and
physically, when it came to close
quarters with the gretchens. They
were still further handicapped by
the fact that there were 36 war
babies among the German contin-
gents and not single. solitary
doughboy junior among the whole
dozen of French matrons.
But it was said by those who
made the eventful voyage that
what the French wives lacked in
numbers they made up for in pep
and agility.
The French wives had not met
German wives until they got aboard
the transport. Then the trouble
began. Daggers flew from eye to
eye. AS with all great battles the
second battle of Cantigny-for it
was at Cantigny that the American
soldiers made their first attack in
France-began without post skir-
mishes.
German reinforcements poured
from the state rooms below until
So German voices all trained to the
moment were ready Tor action.
The battle of songs waged fur
iously for a time but finally the
peacemakers arrived. They were
in the form of IS khaki clad hus-
bands. The peacemakers lot is
always a hard one and this occas-
ion was no exception.
'Lizzen all you battlers" cried a
sergeant, there's just one song
that goes on board this good old

KOREA FILES BRIEF
ASKING PARLEY To
SETTLE ITS CASE
Delegates Warn Conference
Trouble Will Result If Claims
Are Not Satisfied.

Washington, Dec. 11-(By The AS
sociated Press)-The Korean COM
mission announced Sunday night it was
filing with the delegates formal
brief in support of its claim of the
right to present Korea's case before
the conference. With the brief went
the warning by the commission that
adjournment of the conference without
settlement of the Korean problem
would be to "leave an Asiatic Alsace-
Lorraine to plague it's conscience,
theaten it's peace and disturb the fin
atty of every adjustment of inter-
national relations"
Korea's right to be heard, the state
ment declared, rests on solemn sane
ton of treaty obligations. 1t added
that Korea is both the exponent and
finished example of Japanese ambi-
tions,' and inquired whether there
could be peace in the Orient if a couu-
try of 200OO.O00 people were left ito
smart with the injustice of treaties
unkept."

The senate was called upon TO refuse

Fight to Finish
1t is believed that Eamon de Valera
and his supporters win be able to put
I'D a stiff fight. He will have power
full aid from Charles Burgess, the
minister of defense, who is eloquent
and persuasive, while the brunt Of the
defense of the treaty is likely to fall
on Michael Collins who, in the opinion
of some writers, will find himself
greatly handicapped by all the COM
plimentary things the English press
has been saying about him since the
settlement was reached. Present in
dications favor narrow majority for
the treaty and probable reference to
a pIebiscite of the Irish people. In the
English parliament ratification is con-
sidered quite safe.
! It is admitted that Andrew Bonar
Law. even if not approving all the
clauses of the treaty. has decided to
accept it in principle, or at least,
not to offer substantial opposition, his
view being that Ulster is sufficiently
protected BY the privilege of contract

The small body Of ''die-hards" in
the house of commons, numbering
about 80, had counted on Mr.. Bonar

is likely to evaporate measurably,
