PRris.-The French cabinet today APP
proved new instructions for the French
arms delegation which are believed to
embody slight modification Of the
submarine stand. The orders, however,
do not alter the position taken by
France that she must be adequately
protected with undersea craft and the
concessions provided are slight, a re-
liable authority told the United Press.
A semi-oficial pronouncement confirm
ed the information that France still
maintains her submarine viewpoint"
Certain officials believe, it is said, no
accord can possibly be reached at the
Washington conference regarding the
limitation of submarine tonnage. They
hold the opinion "the use" of the I'M
dersea boats should be discussed be-
fore tonnage limitation is talked. This
action followed recommendation of the
senate naval committee that the French
submarine feet be increased contrary
to the plan of Secretary Hughes. Naval
advisers of the government have main
tanned Frances actual submarine neces-
sites must be represented by $4,000
tonnage, it was learned. These experts
point out that if France has 80 sub
marines, so Of them will be in drydock
for repairs all the time. This viii
leave 90 for the protection Of the At
lantic coast, 20 for the Mediterranean
and only 20 others to&guard the coast
lines Of all the far flung colonies.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. that the
whole submarine problem be left to a
future world conference gained increas-
ing prominence today while the dele
gates to the Washington armament con-
ference waited for formal replies from
France and Japan to the American com
promise proposal for submarine limita-
ton. No delegation was prepared to
openly advocate postponement of the
problem and outwardly, all delegation
spokesman held to the customary dip
lomatic attitude of optimism over the
prospects for ultimate agreement. Pri-
vately, however, more than one dele
gate conceded that the French and jap
anese opposition to the compromise
proposal constituted a diseouraging
barrier to the progress Of the sub
marine negotiations,

of a life sentence, after his confession
to murder Of the girl, shortly after her

cation for pardon from Governor Blaine

Johnson protested his innocence and
said that he was arrested on suspi-
cion and intimidated into a confession
of guilty by threat of lynching He
was sentenced without a trail.
TIL manslaughter charge against the
father is based largely on testimony of
Mrs. Mat. Sorenson, local charwoman
who claims that Alois Lemberger, q
son, told her details of the crime
which he then was said to have wit
messed She said that she has kept
secret her knowledge for ten years
because of fear that Lmberger would

cation deferred until termination OF

tivities of Eugene v. Debs, freed from
Atlanta penitentiary by executive
clemency on Christmas day, according
to MS own announcement here today
The Socialist leader said he could
make no concrete plans for the future
until he reached his home in Terre
Haute for which he viii leave Wash
ington at $40 o'clock tonight.
Debs announced his determination
to obtain if possible, q vow from every
man, woman and child in this country
and every country which he might
visit, that they refuse to take up arms
and go to war. But until world rels-
lions undergo reformation, he asserted
wars would continue.
There will be war; he said, "in
some form, and war growing progress
sively more and more destructive IN
til competitive world has been trans
formed into a cooperative world
Every war for trade sooner or later
inevitably becomes a war of blood"
Mr.. Debs expressed the opinion that
President Harding at heart, was
against ali war but described the
president as representative of a sys-
tenn that made war possible. The arms
conference, he contnded, was significant
only in that it was recognition of the
cost of warfare and an effort to re-
duce expense instead of eliminating
the cause.
Action in behalf of others still i'm
prisoned for violation of war laws,
Debs declared would be undertaken as
soon as he reached his home and re-
adjusted himself to circumstances. As
for himself, he said, he harbored no
resentment because of his imprison-
ment. The Socialist leader began to-
day series of conferences with friends
and co-oworkers which was expected
to last until he left hte Capital to-
night
Among the first of his callers was
Peter J. MacSwiney, brother of the
late Lord Mayor of Cork.
Mr. Debs still wore his prison
clothes and declared his intention of
returning home in them and wearing
them for some time.

said, "they have cost me something"

BURKE LOSES
IN COURT FIGHT
Judge Evan Evans of Chi
cagO Holds Indictments
Are Sound"
MUST GO TO TRIAL
Court Filed Decision in United
States Court Late Satur-
day Afternoon.

Judge Evan A. Evans of Chicago
handed Walter Burke of Kenosha a
left-handed Christmas present late Sat
urday afternoon when he handed down
q decision holding that federal grand
jury true bills returned against Burke
and some twenty others who have been
held to be participants in the whisky
ring" were sound and the men must
go to trial on the indictments as re-
turned by the grand jury. The rul-
ing in the case was made public by
filing it with the Clerk Of the United
States court in Milwaukee and Judge
Evans did not go into any extended
opinion in the matter. He denied the
petition and motion of Attorney Pat
rick H. Marin, counsel for Burke.
This petition had asked that all in
dictments against Burke be quashed on
a technical point. Judge Evans did not
give any reason for the denial of the
motion other than that he held the in
dictments as returned by the grand
jury Sound"
To Trial in January.
A possible appeal from the judges
decision on the grounds that the Vol
stead act is Unconstitutional because
of the clause in it relating to posses
sion" was foreshadowed a week ago
when the arguments ON the motion
were held in federal district court.
Attorney Martin vigorously attacked
the Volstead act at that time. No
statement as to future procedure could
be obtained on Saturday, however.
The upholding Of the indictments
viii mean, officials said, that the Ii
quoring ring cases will begin as sched-
uIed during the January term of dis
trict court, except in the unlikely event
of an appeal. There are at least FIVE
important trials pending involving
members of the two alleged whisky
rings
Decision Is Surprise.
1t is admitted that the decision came
as surprise and deep disappoint-
ment to dozen men of Kenosha whose
names have been prominently connect
ed with the grand jury cases and it is
understood that the Burke appeal for
quashing of the indictments was to be
a test case. 1t was referred to as the
trump card of the attorneys represent
ing Burke and the other Kenosha and
Milwaukee defendants.
1t is admitted that while there is a
possibility of and appeal to higher
court that the attorneys may not take
this course but rather take a chance
with jury in the federal court. Bert
Herzog was one of the members of the
same ring and he is named in in
dictments along with the Kenosha man.
Herzog was recently sentenced to a
term of seven years in Fl. Leavenworth
prison and to pay fine of $4,000. He
was given ten days IN. which to per-
feet an appeal and his lawyers are ex-
pected to take the appeal by the end
of this week. It was said that Herzog
may yet decide not to make further
appear in the case.
Joseph Custer and other Kenosha
men who have entered pleas of guilty
in connection with the same transac-
tions which formed the basis for the
Burke indictments are expected to be
sentenced with the opening of the Jan
uary term of the, United States court
in Milwaukee.

New Lire at Lowered Prices.
"It Is not often that manufacturer
presents an entirely new line of auto
mobiles at lowered prices" declared
Mr.. Nash this morning, "but fortunate
ly we are in position right now to do
exactly this. Our models ARE all new
and our prices, based upon present and
anticipated costs of materials, together
with volume production, are made pos
sible. We, therefore, are very glad to
pass Oh the saving 10 the buyer. Stab
iliEation Of business is the great need
of today. The return to normal con-
ditions must be brought about as
quickly as possible and in an orderly
manner" -'i' sti.

der lines, but that the prices are lower
than has been possible Of attainment
at any time in the past.
The new Nash models are the finest

are agreed that the new Nash line is
the GROWING achievement of the long
and successful manufacturing career
of C. w. Nash.

Outstanding features Of the new
Nash cars, both in the six and four
cylinder lines, are their attractive air
line bodies, new Nash easy riding
springs, and DeleO electrical equip
ment. In addition, there are many
other refinements. There stands out
prominently the fact that, taking into
account the many refnements that
have been added to the Nash cars, the
prices now effective are far below
those of the pre-war period.
