Cabinet Works
Overtime Solving
Irish Situation

London, Nov. 10-OBy A. P.)-The
| full cabinet council held tonight for
the purpose of discussing the Irish
situation was so prolonged that sew
eral of the ministers had suddenly to
cancel engagements elsewhere and
apologize for the extreme gravity of
the business defining them.
1t is understood that the govern

proposals dealing with Ulster reached
Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier,
at late hour and will be debated at
meeting of the Ulster ministers at
II o'clock tomorrow morning.

appeal. similar to that which he ad-

Ireland and is not dispute between
Encland and Ireland. which is the
Sim Fcin's contention.
The die hards" of the Unionist
party claim that many prominent men
in their party. naming among others
Andrew Bonar Law. will oppose any
proposals that Ulster rejects.
Ulster. however, has thus far not
rejected anything. and the fact that
hcr representatives are prepared to
discuss the matter with Mr.. LLOYD

for some sort of compromise tn It

Versailles. Nov. 10-(By A. Ply
That the relations between Henri
Desire Landru. the "blue beard of
Gambais," who is on trial charged
with IL murders, 10 of them women
and his victims were merely COM
mercial-that he purchased furni-
ture and other valuaeles from them
and that then they went out of his
life-is the line of defense that has
been adopted by the defendant.
The prosecution has finished Of
fering its evidence against Landru
concerning the first two of his al
legged victims and is slowly outlining
its web of circumstantial evidence in
the other cases in the hope OF fast
enng the long list of crimes upon
him.
The prisoners stubborn refusal to
give any indication regarding the
present whereabouts of his numerous
f1ancees and his somewhat involved
explanations relating to commercial
dealings with the missing women in
the case has apparently created an
untavorable impression of him
among the spectators in the court
room So
The accused man today seemed to
have lost some of the ASSURANCE he
displayed during the first three days
OF the trial. The jury took hAnd In

jurors in turn besought him ID, real

"21" IN ROLE
(Continued from Pace One)

tenn Of subcommittee, the advisory
body today paid q short visit Of
courtesy to President Harding, select
ed Henry P. Fletcher. Under Secre-
tary of State as its vice chairman
and designated Mrs. Eleanor Franklin
Egan. a writer on Far Eastern ques-
tons. as its secretary. 1t will meet
again on Monday when Chairman
Sutherland will announce the sub
committee assignments after CONSUL
tation with all the members as to
their individual preference.
The pamphlets of technical infor-
nation distributed to the members
at today's meeting dealt with Shan
tung. Korea and outer Mongolia and
contained compilations of existing
and pastint irrational agreements
affecting those territories. The date
was prepared by the Carnegie Foun-
dalton which has volunteered its SER
vices, and was arranged for the COM
mittee by officials Of the state de-
partment. Similar information about
naval and land ornaments is in pre-
paration and is expected to be in pos
session OF the advisors before the
conference is many days old.
Detailed plans for the actual me-
chanics Of the liaison to be main
tanned by the committee between the
public and the American delegates
are yet to be worked out, but many
letters giving advice have already
come in. Some of these communica-
tons demand that the American del
egation stand for nothing less than
complete disarmament. Others offer
various plans TO reductions on land
and sea. A great many simply want
to know what the phra ses Of the dip
lomats who will sit in the conference
really mean.
To all of those who are advocating
total disarmament the committee is
replying that such a program in the
present state of world affairs is en-
tirely impossible and that such an
agitation will only injure the chances
for practical accomplishment.
So far in it's plans for ascertaining
the real opinion of the country, the
committee has not considered
whether any public hearings will be
necessary. but it was indicated today
that the doors Of the committee room
always would he open to any Amer
lean citizen who has a real idea to
offer.
