'BLUEBEARD' SMILES AS HE
HEARS DEATH SENTENCE
Thank You, Gentlemen He Says
to Members Of Jury

Versailles, Dec. 1.--(By A. P.)-
Henri Desire Landru, "the Bluebeard Of
Gambais," smiled last night for the first
time since his trial opened. A Pickering
expression of amusement crossed his face
as he listened to the futcfu words from
Judge Gilbert sending him to the gull
lotine for n series of the most hcinous
crimes in the history of French juris-
prudence.
THANK you, gentlemen" said Lam
dru, fourishing his weather beaten hat
in mocking bow to the jury, and he
disappeared through the little door lead
ing to the Versailles Jail.
While the verdict was awaited, the
slayer of ten women and boy spoke
words Of encouragement to his counsel,
NJ. Moro Giafferi, who, tired and worn
out after his strenuous efforts to save
his client from death, was on the verge
of collapse. "Strangc 1t is that a man
standing in the shadow of death should
console his defender" Landru remarked
at one time to those sitting nearby,
He refused to be party to a petition
asking President Millerand to commute
the sentence to life Imprisonment, which
was signed among others by the jurors.
II refuse to ask for mercy" he told the
latter. "A man like me wants justice,
not mercy. You think l guilty; then
let me die -
His remarks after reaching the cell
we're also characteristic Of this strange
character, the record of whose gruesome
deeds as unfo.ded in the dingy Yer
sailles courtroom has drawn the atten :
tion of all France and Of thousands of
persons in otker countries. 1T has
been a great show" he said. 81 hope
the public is satisfied. / give you n
rendezvous for the end of February or
the beginning of March to show you
how an innocent man dies"

CRITIC DIDN'T SINGLE OUT
JUNIOR PROM, HE EXPLAINS
Criticism Was Of University Affairs
In General, "PennsyIvanIan" Saws

mo particular reference to the
junior prom" was intended in the edi-
torial in yesterdays Pennsylvania
critizing the manner Of financing the
University's social affairs.
This explanation is given in an edl-
torial in today's Pennsylvanian, which
says the editorial Of yesterday was mis-
interpreted.
1T is matter of common knowl.
torial in regard to class financing Is
true" the editorial goes on. "a com
munication from officers of the Junior
class denies It was the intention of the
Prom Committee TO make money. 1t Is
commcndable that such should be the
case in regard to the recent dance.
Nevertheless, glaring defects nrc
admitted regarding University social
affairs. With the present class en-
rollmCnt, WCightman Hall is not large
enough to accommodate all who wish
to attend class dance. It is high
time that the hoax Of limited at
tendance becomes a reality.
Officers of the senior class intend
the Ivy Ball TO be an exclusively sem
ior affair. with perhaps a limited at
tendance of invited lower classmCn. The
Undergraduate Council, which is
wholcly composed of seniors, Is bent
on having the Ivy Ball the pleasing
class dance of former years, and de-
sircS to do away with the mob scenes
which have characterized that class
affair, seemingly as an outgrowth of
the war.
"But University social functions are
not alone matter for undergraduates
to correct Is gymnasium the place
for dance? Its raftcrs, flying rings
and physical apparatus at best can
only bC inadcQuatcly decorated at great
expense in an attempt to conceal un-
pleasant sights. Should not the trus-
tees provide a better place to hold
University social functions and pro-
vide place adequate for the needs
of the University!
"Thc University auditorium should
be bnilt in the near future.

DESIRE i. S. LOAN
FOR RUSSIAN FOOD
American Relief, Lacking Funds,
Considers Requesting Gov
ernment to Aid
WOULD ASK FOR $4,000
BY the Associated Press

Riga, Dec. /. - The United States
Government soon may be asked for
funds. probably ms a Goverpment loan
to be controlled by the American Re!
lief Administration, with which to sup
ply sufficient food and seed-grain to
provide for the entire 15,000.0O0 OF
starving persons in the Russian famine
district.
A loan. under the plans Informally
discussed by the Relief Administration
In Russia, would not be made to the
Moscow Government. but to the Prov
incial Governments In the famine re.
gion, guaranteed by the Central Gov.
ernmcnt and to be repaid at the time OF
the next harvest.
Tho amount Of the loan would DO
somewhere in the neighborhood Of $780,
600. which the Relief Administrat on
investigators believe would be sufficient
to save virtually the entire famine situ-
alton. Information concerning the
prospective loan is as yet indefinite. The
plan was brought to Riga by Walter L.
Brown. European director of the Relief
Administration, from Moscow.
According to Mr.. Brown. he has had
sufficient satisfactory experience In
Russia to warrant the statement that
he would have no hesitation In extend
ing further aid IL the Relief Admins
tration itself we're financially able to do
so.
Famine horrors In Russia are grow
ing with the approach Of winter off,

RENEWAL OF TRUCE
IN IRELAND URGED
London Press Striving to Avert
Resumption of Armed
Hostilities
NEW PEACE PLAN REJECTED
BY the Associated Press

London, Dec. 1.-Prcservation Of
the truce in Ireland, whatever may
happen to the peace negotiations, Is
being urged today by a considerable
section Of the British press. 1t is sug-
gcstcd that this be achieved through
adjournment of the Conference to n
fixed date n month or six weeks hence
The Sim Fcin publicity department
reiterated this forenoon that It expected
further meetings between the govern
mCnt and the Sim Frin delegates. and
it is believed arrangements regarding
the truce viii be considered at the
next meeting.
The original truce terms provided no
plan for its cessation, and it is felt. il
is said. that even if 1t develops that
hostiltcs must he renewed provision
should be made fixing a definite date
for abandonment of the pact, instead of
citing the truce break down without
notice, which has been considered in
many quarters the probable outcome.
Latest Plan Fails
The latest plan, that for an all-1re,
land Parliament, under which Ulster
might retain her existing rights until
or unless she changed her mind, has
failed with the formal statement by the
Sim Fein delegation here that ii cannot
be considered.
As result in both Government and
Irish circles the opinion is expressed
that nothing short of a miracle can
avert collapse of the negotiations and
resumption Of the warfare In Ireland.
The Government heads are bending
their entire efforts to seeking some un-
explored avenue Of negotiation, but II
is believed all possibilities of settlement
have been exhausted during the lengthy
parlcyS which seem now to have ended.
It had been intended to hold a Cabi-
net council last night to consider Ger
man repnrutionS i'll connection with the
visit Of DR.. Walter Rathrnau. but this
had TO be POSTPONED in order TO permit
the special Cabinet committee dealing
with Irish affairs TO hold sitting.
Lord BirkcnhCad, due 10 peak at n
political meeting in Liverpool, was
Obliged to stay in London. lie sent a
message of apology. explaining that his
absence was owing to grave pubic

ent position of the Irish negotiations.
