Premier's Statements

Berlin, Nov. 22-By A. PIN a
statement to the Associated Press
today, the German government Off
clally takes issue with the charges
Of Premier BRAND of France in his
ADDRESS before the WASHINGTON con-
ference yesterday that the German
police forces and the reichsw.ehr con-
stituted a nucleus for future Ger
man army.
1t declares NJ. BRANDS assertion
that the reichswehr is composed ex-
elusively of officers and non commits
stoned officers of the old is incorrect
and on the contrary, the bulk of the
relchsWehr is made up of youths be-
tween the ages of 10 to p, recruited
since the war
The statement then saws that the
protection police" We're created at
the bidding of the entente. and adds.
The reichswehr is wholly unaffil-
lated with the Schultz Polzei, which
took the place of the security police
when the entente ordered the lattet's
dissolution. The Schultz Polizei is
primarily an agency to maintain law
and order and is not subject to the
authority of the ministry of defence.
1t takes orders solely from the civil
ian ministers of the federated states
Its numerical strength and its COM
position with reference to the ratio
of officers and men are designated
and supervised by the entente con-
| troll COMMISSION. The number of
rifles and small arms it is permit ed
to have is carefully specified. 1t
does not possess heavy calibred arms
suitable 10 convert unto unit of
fighting troops. The Einwohnerwehr
or civilian guards. referred to by NJ.
BRAND. have been dissolved, and
their arms have been surrendered
and destroyed"
The statement disputes NJ. Brands
assertion that Germany still possess
ed numerous arsenals equipped to
turn out war materials, and asserts
that these plants are now limited to
two or three required to keep the
German army supplied and that their
output is carefully supervised by the
entente control commission.
The governments statement refers
the French premier to the recent add :
ress from the throne in which King
George of England. declared that sat
isfactory progress had been made by
Germany in the execution of her fin
ancial and disarmament obligations.
The newspaper comment generally
characterizes NJ. Brands speech as
fiat falsehood." but most of the
journals express fear that America,
which is not so we'll informed on the
European situation, may believe
what he had to say. The opinion
generally expressed was that the
French premier's attitude was likely
to undermine and nullify the whole
effort toward disarmament.

PARDON CASES
F vors Leniency to
Political Offenders
Where Possible
No Sweeping Amnesty-Each
Case to Be Considered On Its
Merits-Will Include Cases
of Service Men-Debs Case
to be Treated Separately

Washington, Nov. Extension
against the war time laws now serv-
ing prison sentences will be given
early consideration by President
Harding, it was said today at the
White House. The subject was dis
cussed at the cabinet meeting today
and it was understood that a policy
of leniency toward these offenders
where possible, was generally ap-
proved.
The President has asked the attor-
ney general for a digest Of each of
these cases and Mr.. Daugherty OK
poets to have the histories of the
war law prisoners completed in two
weeks.
Under the administration policy,
there would be no sweeping procla-
nation of amnesty. it was said Off
cially, but each case would be con-
sidered. However, the President is
understood to view with disfavor the
release of persons who advocated
property destruction or industrial Of
tenders. although particular atten-
ton would be. given service men
guilty of infractions of disciplinary
regulations of more or less serious
ness.
There are. according to Mr.
Daugherty. about - civilian war
time law offenders now serving SEN
fences in federal prisons and II SOL
diers who would come within the
clemency program. The justice de-
partment. he said. iss preparing for
the President, a detailed statement
of each mans case.
Mr.. Daugherty indicated that the
justice department would favor free
dom for those prisoners by pardon,

where the facts in the various cases
and good conduct records would war
rant it.
The question of freedom for Eu-
gene V. Debs, Socialist leader, I'M
prlsoned at Atlanta, will be treated
separately, Mr.. Daugherty said, add
ing that recommendations to the
present on the subject have been
completed, although it was under
stood there would be no possibility
OF action by THANKSGIVING.
ANY Affirmative action in the case.
he said, would be Gather a pardon or
communication. as Debs was not
eligible for parole. which requires
that the prisoner should have served
one-third of his sentence. Debs will
not have served a third of his sem
tence of 10 years until next August.
Mr.. Daugherty indicated that the
Debs case would so forward after the
program with regard to the other
prisoners had been started and that
the President would be presented
with a full history Of the life of
Debs. as well as the specific charges
for which he is now imprisoned.

Washington, Nov. pa final vote

NJ. tomorrow under unanimous
consent agreement entered into to-
day after the measure had been I'M
der debate for sevral hours.
Immediately upon its passage the

mediately upon it's becoming law,
however, is that relating to the in
come tax, the other tax changes go
ing into effect on next January /.
The present surtax rates will be con-
tinued for this calendar year, the re-
auctions agreed upon by the house
and senat going into effect in the
next calendar year and being reflect
cd in the actual payments to be made
by the tax payers in 1923.
In laying the conference report be-
for the senate today, Chairman Pen
rose of the senate managers. in
formal statement described the bill
as a temporary makeshift.'
The BILL" Senator Penrose said,
does not place the tax system on a
stable or scientific basis. But it is
better than the law which it will su-
rercede because Of the reduction of
the tax burden and the technical or
administrative Improvements which
it affects.
"As has been said, 1t is a tenn
porary measure. But nothing better
that a temporary makeshift will be
possible until the people of this
country give to the question of taxa
ton an amount of study which it
has not vet received; unt''-in par
ticular, the people become convinced
of the sincerity and truth of the con-
tention that the proposal to reduce
excessive taxation rates is not de
signed to relieve the rich and the
profitecr. but to avert the breakdown
of the income tax. unchackle business
and increase the tax revenue"

es Little Credit for Work Against Carpe
GEORGES COULD PACK
HOUSE, BUT NOT PUNCH
Carpenters Problem Not to Cain Popular FAVOR r.,
to Regain Use of Right Fist, Which May
Go Bad Again
Go Bad Again
BY GRANTLAND RICE

THE next problem that Carpenter
L faces isn't new American opponent
or any diminution of his colossal
popularity, one Of the most amazing
things Of sport.
There is still enough talent over
here outside of Dempsey, and enough
fight enthusiasm to present him another
packed house any time he cares to start.
Carpenters problem now has to do
with that battered right fist. Once a
hand begins to crumple up there is
always danger that the crumpling proc
ess will develop again at any stated
interval in the wake Of heavy blow.
To Be Watched
THIS mauling right of Carpenter
l. must now be carefully watched. He
has so much power in his punch that
only tough fist can stand the strain.
Fitz started skidding when his hands
began to give way. and In his second
fight with Jim Jeffries he finished with
both hands badly shattered, no longer
fit for any Furnishing effect.
Carpenter is fast, skillful and
courageous, but no one could call him
rugged.
His skin Is easily cut and his body
easily hurt. The fact that he has the
gameness to weather an armful of pun
ishment doesn't mean he has any great
toughness of fiber or durability OF bone
and flesh.
But unless this right hand buckles
up again, he will make any man this
side of the champion show quite bi'
to win.
Willard's Chance
MIILLARD'S chance against Demp'
w sey rests upon two foundations. Ir
the first instance, he should get the best
possible trainer available, and then give
the best he has to reach the top form
of boxing skill and physical condition.
In the second instance, he must enter
the ring in a frame Of mind that carries
grim determination to wipe out thu
Toledo returns.
Willard, after long, hard and cor
rect training siege, determined to win
would have better chance against thu
champion than any one else, except
possibly Wills.
II Willard had the will to 60 out and
win-a little more fame of soul--hi.
tremendous bulk and power would bt
sufficient to turn the tide. even against
greater speed and skill. But whether o
