 COMPLETE SUNDAY
Son of "Tin Plate King" and Russian Princess Leave for
 Houseboat Honeymoon
By Associated Press

Paris. October 9.-The final rites in the marriage of Princess Xenia Geor- gievna of Russia and William B. Leeds Jr, of New York. was carried out today. Two religious ceremonies following the civil ceremony of Sat urday were performed The first of these, which was brief and simple, took place at the American Episcopal Church of the Holy Trinity, and the second, which lasted one hour, fol- lowed at the Russian church. At the latter ceremony all the pomp and his toric custom of the ancient ortho- dox church formed part. of the cere< mony, which was performed by the private chaplain Of Queen Mother Olga of Greece.
 The ceremony @at the Episcopal church was witnessed by only rela- tives and a few friends. but it was found impossible to bar several thou sand members of the Greek and Rus sian colonies from that in the Rus sian church. When the bridal party entered the edifice the crowd stormed the barrier, and as many persons as could be squeezed in rushed into the to WllnGSS the ceremony. AJltT the wedding the church attendants had to force a way through the aisles. for the bride and groom.
 Hold Hotel Reception
 After the last church function the bridal party held a reception at one of the leading Paris hotels. Tonight the bride and groom left Paris for the Isle of Wight. where houseboat on which they will spend their honey moon is awaiting them.
 Because of numerous deaths In the family of Princess Xenia since the bolsheviki came into power in Rus the marriage were planned with the utmost simplicity. There were no at tendants. Prince Christopher of Greece, husband of young Leeds mother, acted as witness and bes' man for MT Leeds, while the Grand Duke Dmitri of Russia was the wit ness for the bride, who Is his cousin The little son and daughter or Prince George of Greece carried the brides train.
 Princess Xenia wore simple dress of liberty satin, cut along perfectly straight lines, and had garland of orange blossoms around her waist. A full veil of tulle fell from her head The only jewelry the bride wore was a long chain necklace set with dia- monds, with a sapphire and diamond pendant--a gift from her mother. The bride was given away at the altar by her uncle, Prince George of Greece.

FRANCE MUST STAY. ARMED UNTIL SAFE.
To Attend Disarmament Par ley, But Cannot Scrap Guns
 Unless Secured-Briand
By Associated Press

St. Nazaire, October 9.-"France must remain armed as long as her security has not been assured" was the statement made today by Arlstide Briand, the French premier, in an address outlining the French govern ment's foreign policy.
 M. Briand was surrounded by six of the ministers of his cabinet and four under secretaries. He declared that at the present moment the French premier needs to have full authority to deal with all questions with which he treats In the realm of world interest.
 My voice must carry high and far" he said. Tomorrow beyond the seas we are invited to examine into certain problems. I have had the honor to reply present to that in- vitation. We shall go to Washing ton, first In order to fulfill a duty of gratitude and to see in their home those noble and brave soldiers who we have seen in France. We will go also to accomplish 8 duty toward France.
 Armed or Secured
 France must remain armed as long as her security has not been as- sured. France has earned the right to reparations and security. At no time shall the French government yield on those points. I will refute the accusations of imperialism which have been made against France. Our allies know that we demand our rights--nothing more. Tomorrow at Washington l will prove to America that France wants peace.
 "We will discuss the great prob lems coolly and impartially. If guar antees of security are granted France, she will be among the first nations to enter into the policy of disarmament, for France loathes war and imperialism.
 Have Confidence In Wirth. "This government has confidence in the government of Dr. Wirth, the German chancellor. The undertak- iEgs entered upon by present Ger mans have been fulfilled. Frances attitude in these different moments is: No aggressivepess but no timid- ity"
 NJ. Briand touched lightly on the critics of the Versailles treaty, and its execution by his government, say ing poor instrument had been placed in his hand and he had used !t to the best possible purpose, but that he summed political controver- sies and would not enter into any of them. In concluding the premier said:
 "The country must weather these stormy days by the strength of it's labor and work in developing it's wealth and resources"

By Associated Press

washington, october S.-Auother chapter is to be written tomorrow by the Senate in the controversy over Panama canal privileges. Passage by the Senate of the Borah free tolls bin is scheduled even the oppo- nents of the measure conceding q majority vote in favor of it.
 s The bill. which would exempt American coastwlse vessels from ca nal tolls. is expected by leaders to lie in the House indefinitely at least until after the armament limitation conference.
 The Senate vote Is set for 4'o'clocb Tomorrow, tho day having been set aside for the oilPs consideration to the exclusion of the tax bill and the pending peace treaties.
 The toll measure presented by Senator Borah, republican. Idaho, chairman of the Senate interoceanic canals committee, does not apply to American vessels in foreign com nerce, but only to those in coastwise trade. It conforms to a plank Tn the republican platform and to another plank in the democratic platform of i912, but both parties are divided on the question Senator Borah will sapeak tomorrow in favor of the bill and Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, Republican leader, in opposition
 Underwood for Bill
 "A Senator Underwood of Alabama, democratic floor leader, and a num- Der of other democrats have declared shey will support the bill.
 The Borah proposal would undo the tolls repeal bill passed in 1e1S at the request of President Wilson, who told Congress that the repeal meas nre was diplomatic necessity. The treason for Mir Wilson's request has never been made public, officially. ssThe repeal bill annulled the tolls exemption law in favor of American ships. passed in 1912 by a republican Congress, during the latter part of the Taft administration. The Will son repeal measure caused the first serious division in Congress during his administration Former Speaker Clark, Senator Underwood. then a representative. and other prominent democrats. opposing it.
