DEBS FREED AS ACT OF GRACE
His Violation of War Laws Unfor
given by Government, Says Mr..
Dausherty, in Statement.

Washington.-Eug V. Debs, the
socialist leader, was granted his free
dom from Atlanta federal penitentiary
on Christmas by President Harding
solely as IAN act Of grace His vio-
lation of the war laws remain unfor-
given by the government.
This was disclosed by Attorney
General Daugherty who made public
the text of his recomm andItions to
the President in the Debs case.
1T will be observed" Mr.. Daugher'
ty said, that a pardon was not grant
ed Debs. but that his sentence was
commuted. The action Of the Presi-
dent in no wise condones the orense
and relief was solely an act of grace.
The gratitude of Debs will be meas
ured by his conduct in the future"
The administrations theory Of ac-
ton in the Debs case, according to
Mr.. Daugherty, is to be considered
as the governments policy in rela-
ton to others imprisoned for viola
ton Of war laws. of which classes of
offenders probably no better case
could be selected" he declared, than
that of Debs.

FRENCH AND BRITISH IN CLASH
PLAIN SPOKEN DISCUSSION OF
THE POSSIBILITIES OF WAR
BETWEEN THEM.
French Delegates, Upon instructions
From Paris, Talk With Air
of Finality.

Washington.-Efforts to limit sub
marine and auxiliary warships came
to an abrupt end after they had drawn
the French and British arms conf
erence delegates into plain-spoken
exchange over the possibilities OF a
future war between France and the
British empire.
The French, acting under renewed
instructions from their government,
told the conference naval committee
with an air of finality that France
must remain free to build a supma-
rine flotilla nearly three times as
great as that she now possesses AND
to construct, in addition, cruisers, de-
stroyers and other auxiliary craft up
to tonnage of 100000.
To the proposal the Americans
Japanese and Italians replied with
expressions of surprise and regret,
while the British charged openly
that such a building program must
be regarded as a menace to British
shores. Arthur ]. Balfour added
that he had no doubt, if occasion
arose, Great Britain would be equal
to it, but only if she reserved COM
plete freedom Of action as to the con-
struction of all tyres Of auxiliaries
which might be useful against under
water warfare.
Agreeing that further argument
would be useless, the committee
turned its attention to collateral SUD-
jects, including regulations for fu-
ture use of submarines, proposals for
limitation of the size and armament OF
individual auxiliary vessels and details
of the agreement already sealed in
principle regarding capital ships.
For the American delegation,
Elihu Root proposed a joint declara-
ton reaffirming the obligation OF
submarine commanders to warn
merchant ships before attack, to re-
frain from sinking vessels whose
crews and passengers could not first
be placed in safety, and to conform
in general to all the established
practices on international law. In
addition, Mr.. Root also suggested
change of existing usage to prohibit
attacks on merchant vessels, alto
gethor and to make submarine COM
manders who violate the regulations
liable to trial as pirates.
