YOUNGEST FRENCH
HEROINE HONORED

PARIS, Omitted Press) )-One Of
the youngest heroines of the war has
just been honored by France. She
is Helene Jacquemin, of Montherme,
up near the Belgian border. When
the Germans swarmed over the from
tier, Helene. who was then ten years
old, and her brother acted as liaison
officers between her father. TO whom
the French commander had confded
an important mission, and the
French army.
The Germans swept through. driv-
ing the French on toward the
Marine. Helene's father was killed in
action. Her brother was arrested
and hailed before a summary German
court martial, charged with aiding
the French forces, although he was
not combatant Helene was
threatened with death by the Ger
mans unless she revealed the modus
operandi of her father. The little
girl of the Ardennes refused. Here
is what the official citation "a lodre
de rarmee." which has just been
published says;
"She refused to utter a word In
reply to the questions of the Ger
man officers. In spite Of the threats
OF the prosecuting officials she did
not furnish a single piece Of infor-
nation which might have put our
enemies on the track of her father
collaborators."

WASHINGTON, Dec. (United
Press)-The four power agreement
to take the place Of the Anglo-Jap-
anese alliance will be announced TO
the world shortly. according to au-
thoritative quarters here today in
close touch with the negotiations of
the big three which developed
this understanding. 1t is understood
that preliminary reports have been
received by the japanese delegation.
that the Toxic government has ap-
proved this agreement between the
United States, Great Britain, Japan
and France on the Pacific and the
Far East.
There is also strong reason to be-
lieve, from information received
from highly authoritative sources,
that the Japanese government has
decided to accept the "5-5-3" plan
of the Hughes proposal for limita-
tion of naval armament, along with
the four-power agreement. A final
reply to Baron Katos cable to the
Toxic government Friday night is
expected here any moment, if it has
not already been received.
While this is not definitely known
!. it is understood in some quarters
that the agreement has been actually
completed in writing and that the
only thing now necessary to be done
is for the representatives of the
four great powers to afiix their sig
natures.
The quadruple entente, as a sub
stitute for the Anglo-Japanese alli-
ance, will provide for mutual dis
cussion-mutual avoidance Of diff
culties." Britain's spokesman said
today.
some form OF arbitration OF dis
putes or provision for breathing
spells" before any hostilihes in the
J Pacific could be undertaken would
be it's underlying principle he indi-
I Gated.
1t is not expected that the agree
ment will be signed until it has beer
officially announced to the world.
How the agreement is to be an
nounced is still in doubt although il
is believed the most likely way will be
at the next plenary conference a
/ WnlCn WOulu also De Nnaue known al
agreement on the naval question.
According to the latest informa
ton the four power understanding
is broad and general. providing fol
the observance and maintain.
ence of the peace OF the Pacific
and the Far East, stating
that each OF the powers agrees I,
respect the territory of the other
and also probably providing 70
formal recognition OF and respect FOL
the open door in the Pacific and tn,
Far East.
1t is believed that the general un.
derstanding between the four power,
has progressed farther than the
! agreement for non-fortification -oi
the Pacific Islands of these four
powers. The agreement on non-
fertilization of the Pacific Islands
probably will be supplementary tc
the agreement on reduction and limi.
tation Of naval armaments, although
a provision Of non-fortifcation OF
these islands may be included in the
general four-power agreement.

been since It's organization years
ago. Wherever a call is made for
help, an investigation Is made be-
fore actual relief is given, unlss the
case is urgent. BY this method, the
Charities association officials know
that none OF the money which is
being now contributed by citizens is
wasted or foolishly spent.
The pitiful situation this winter
is that many able-bodied men are
applying for relief. who, for the
sake of their families, are seeking
things they never asked for before.
Ordinarily it's the widows and sick
and disabled who apply for relief,
I. but times have changed, owing to
the industrial depression.
Some of the stories told the Asso-
ciated Charities are narrowing. Sell
dom is It that a man applies for re-
lief who has but himself and a wife
to provide for. These couples man
age to struggle along somehow.
One OF the provisions that is re-
quired before help Is given to an
able-b bodied man and his family =
/ that the man shall have first applied
to the Delaware Public Employment
Service in the old City all for work
and has not gotten a job. Under
no other consideration is relief
granted. II there is no work o.be
had. help must and is given. In
this way, none of the money dis
pensed by the association is given TO
those who might be willing to have
some one else keep them and their
families.
The slogan OF the Associated
Charities is to help the people to
help themselves" and, by -insuring
work where 1t is possible. this policy
is carried out.
