DISARMAMENT

SAYS HOFFMAN,
German General Declares 1t Un-
wise in View of Danger
From Russia.
By s. ID. WEYER.

BERLIN, Dec. 1O.-"Although I
highly appreciate President Harding's
initiative and wish it the best possible
results, / consider that the Washing
ton conference is premature as re-
CARDS the European continent" said
General Hoffman,, of Brest-Litovsk
fame. today. General Hoffman, be-
lieveJ II unsafe to disarm at this time.
General Hoffman, was one of the
best-known officers in the German
army during the war. In the winter
OF 1917-191S, when Russia decided to
enter into peace negotiations with
Germany, the latter country sent a
military delegation to Brest- Litovsk
(the seat of negotiations), headed by
General Hoffman,.
General Hoffman, now is regarded
as one of the foremost experts in Ger
many or Russia. He continued his
discussion OF the Washington confer
ence and general conditions as follows:
Europe Is in a state of unrest be-
cause of the Russian Soviet's ener-
getic offensive through the most clev-
erly disguised propaganda The Rus
SLAMS are rendering the other Gu
ropean nations ripe to be stormed by
the iron disciplined Russian hordes.
so long as statesmen do not find
q way to reconstruct war-torn coun-
tries, they are thus shaking the con-
ffdence Of their own peoples, and are
making 1t easier for Russian propa-
ganda.
"Tho Soviet has been especially ac-
tive In it's efforts to inject poison in
England's war wounds. The Russians
have concentrated against India and
Ireland. Because of it's extent
throughout the world, the British en-
pire offers the best chances for world
wide propaganda.
II believe that the Moscow Soviet
purposely prevented Russian recon-
struction and maintained chaos be-
cause IL serves its purpose to under
mine the other European nations
through unemployment and Industrial
unrest.

GRIEF Of GIRL
0UEST|0NED|N
Staying TRIAL
Witness in Burch Case Says He
Saw No Tears in Mrs.
obenchain's Eyes.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. I0.--Was
Frustrated when her sweetheart. ].
Bolton Kennedy was shot down a
few feet away from her. or did she
merely pretend?
! Was she really stricken with grief.
overcome with horror, and shocked
by tho surprise, or was she acting
a part to hide carefully calculated
crime?
The questions Were put to the
jury in Judge Reeves court yester-
day by the testimony Of Louis
Besanty, a somewhat deaf tractor
driver who lives in Beverly Glen.
near the cottage where Kennedy was
killed.
He was the principal witness In the
trial of Arthur C. Burch, indicted with
Madalynne Obenchain for the murder
and like his wife Elizabeth, he says he
saw Burch on the scene soon after the
shooting.
II flashed light in Mrs. Oben-
chains face" he testified. II wanted
to see how she looked"
WAS she crying?" Prosecutor Wool
wine shouted to the witness.
Besanty, his face turned toward
the jury, replied: mo. She went
on as If she was crying. but there
were no tears In her eyes"
Attorney Paul Schenck, chief of
the defense consel, made vigorous
objections, but the witness went on
with his answer, serene, undisturbed.
He couldn't hear anything except the
voice of Woolwine.
Besanty succeeded his wife on the
witness stand and corroborated some
of her testimony.
He saw Madalynne Obenchain make
a kind of motion as IL she had dropped
something near Kennedy's car, which
stood at that time at the foot Of the
steps where Kennedy lay, his face to
the stars.
Besanty's wife thought Madalynnc
had dropped a piece of paper on which
she had been writing.
He neither saw what 1t was she
dropped, nor heard the sound of any.
thing dropping, but he had caught the
motion of the hand.
Like his wife. he testified that
Rurch, in a roadster, had stopped in
front of the cottage while the police
were there, had gone on down the
Glen, and had returned and gone out
toward Wiltshire boulevard.
'It was while they were taking Ken
nedy off the steps," he said, "he came
up slow. He almost ran over my foot.
He leaned out and looked around, rub
bered like and then went on"
