SEVENTEEN EAR-0LD
GIRL KILLS BETRAYER
Crowd Witnesses Murder at Waco,
Tex.-Second Trial for Victim
Was Convicted First Time.

Waco, Tex, Feb. 24.-While a
crowded courtroom looked on in hor-
rOr, J. S. Crosslin, en- trial here for
criminal assault, was shot and killed
by the girl whom he is alleged to have
wronged.
The shooting occurred shortly after
Miss Maize Matthews, seventeen, the
complaining witness, had taken the
witness stand to tell her story Of the
wrong. Trembling and almost hysteri-
cal, she drew an automatic pistol from
a pocket and shot Crosslin three times.
He fell from his chair, dead.
It was Crossin's second trial for the
alleged crime. At the first trial he was
convicted and sentenced to nine years
in prison, but the conviction was re-
versed by the Criminal Appeals court
and a new trial granted.
"He disgraced me, ruined my health
and deprived me of school privileges, :"
she stated after the killing, "but he
will never ruin another girl"

Rome, Feb. 24.-"We regard the
Roma disaster as our own misfortune"

Tells the Naval Affairs
Committee.

Washington, Feb. 27.-President
Harding warned the house naval af-
fairs committee against scuttling the
navy. Indications coming from the
committee in it's consideration of
naval personnel so alarmed the Pres

The conference was held at the
White House and the President frank
ly voiced his uneasiness over the an
nounced determination Of the majority
to reduce naval enlisted personnel to
10000 men.
The President said that such a re-
duction would cripple the navy and
endanger the national defense

GENOA VICTORY Or
WAR--TROTzKY
Soviet Military Minister Holds
Giant Review of Armies.
SOLDIERS FILL RED SQUARE
Great Army of Men Are in Good Con-
diton, Well Uniformed and
Salute Their Leader in
Snappy Manner.

Moscow, Feb. 27.-Leon TrOtzky,
soviet minister of war, speaking before
the Moscow soviet in connection with
the Red army's fourth anniversary
here, declared Russia's scale Of fate
is now balancing over Genoa" If the
coming Genoa conference should not
result satisfactorily for Russia, he de-
clared, it might be necessary to tip
the balance with blood, perhaps this
coming spring.
1T is necessary" he declared, Tor
the prOletariat to be ready, then, to
face a blow in tho spring ii such
situation should be forced upon us.
Each week of pOStpOneInent or the
Genoa conference must be week OF
terrifying the Red army. The time
we may lose on the field of diplomacy
we must and shall gain in the field OF
activity in fOrtifying and enlarging
the army.
1--WE are fully decided, on QUIZ fourth
anniversary, to prepare ourselves for
a new struggle, because the finish fight
between capital and labor is far from

Vast Military Review.
In the Red square of the Kremlin
TrOtzky reviewed the Moscow garrison
in what was probably the largest mill
tary assemblage since the days of the
emperor.
For two hours infantry, lancers, Cos
sacks, gunners, engineers, motor
corps, tanks and airplanes passed in
the bright sunshine. The men ap-
peared to be in good condition. were
well uniformed, and saluted in snappy
fashion as they filed past the stand.
A little more precision in alignment,
gayer uniforms, better horses, and old
er soldiers and they might have been
the regiments of the old guard pass
ing before Emperor Nicholas. On the
other hand, they were as different
from the tattered, undisciplined army
of 1918 as the Concord farmers of
1776 were from General Pershing's
picked battaliOns.
Bill Haywood Is Present
Near the reviewing stand were
Clara Zetkin, German socialist; Will
liam D. Haywood of the American L.
w. W.; Katayama; the Hungarian So
cialist leader Bella Kun, and members
of the Third InternatiOnale.
TIE predoHlinance of communists
among the spectators was the only re-
minder that it was not pre-war spec
tacle. The Illusion that it might have
been the old Russian army coming
back to life was heightened by the
predominance of old regime officers at
the heads of companies and the little
group of staff men about TrOtZky,
most of them bearded generals and
colonies of many years service.
TrOtzky wore gray OvercOat Of
military cut. Plump and smiling, he
stood sharply at salute and reviewed
the passing soldiers like a general.
German Predicts World Revolt.
"Within a year the army will be
stronger and more united" he told the
troops.
He promised that the year would
be one of education for the army :;
that not a single soldier would be
illiterate by May 1.
Herr WOlcke, German communist,
told the troops the revolution in Ger
many was still aliv" and the time was
not distant when the German Red
army would unite with RuSsia's; then
would come the world revolution.

EGYPTIANS GIVEN
SELF-COVE RN|NENT
Britain Quits Egypt, Lloyd George
Tells the Commons.
PROTECTORATE is AT END
People Will Be Permitted to Work
Out institutions Suited to Their
pirations-Premier Outlines
Terms of Change.

London. March 1-Prime Minister
Lloyd George announced in the house
of commons that the British pro-
tectorate over Egypt was free to work
out such national institutions as might
be suited to the aspirations of her
people.
At the same time Lloyd George
gave the terms upon which the Brit
ish government will give Egypt the
opportunity of working out her own
salvation.
He said government white paper
would show the house what had
taken place since the announcement
of the policy of the British govern
ment last December, after the fail
ure of the Egyptian mission to Lon
don, led by ABLY Yeghen Pasha. The
paper also would contain, he added,
the announcement of policy on which
the government, in accordance with
the principles laid down in Deem
Der, now proposed to proceed.
Will Abolish Martial Law.
Martial law will be abolished in
Egypt as soon as an act OF indem-
nifty has been passed, the premier
announced He explained that mar
tial law had been used not to enforce
the British policy upon Egypt but
as a main instrument of government
in the hands of the Egyptian minis
tiers for certain important measures
arising out of war conditions. An
act Of indemnity therefore would be
necessary before any government
could dispense with martial law.
Mr. Lloyd George said it was for
the Egyptian government to pass the
necessary legislation, in the way of
which 1--WE undertake to place no
obstacle, provided the final clause of
the governments declaration is duly
observed"
Reservations Made.
The final clause defines the special
relations between the British govern
ment and Egypt, and asserts that the
following matters are reserved to the
discretion of the British government:
81. Security of the communications
of the British empire in Egypt.
%. Defense of Egypt against all
foreign aggression Or interference, di-
rect or indirect.
SO. Protection of the foreign inter-
ests Of Egypt and protection of mi
nOrities
Il. We are prepared to make an
agreement with the Egyptian gov
eminent in a spirit of mutual accom-
mediation whenever a favorable Op-
portunity arises for the conclusion of
such an agreement. But until such
an agreement satisfactory to our
selves and to the Egyptian govern
ment has been concluded the status
quo will remain intact"

fingers TO wrench open. But II did get
at the canaries and hushed two by
wringing their necks.
Then. with a canary in each hand
from which Ii took a bite from time to
time. the monkey went roaming through
the store. 1t upset everything that was

the animal gave itself a shampoo. Boxes
containing flea powder the ring-tail
sprinkled about the floor and into the
parrots cages, whereupon they invented
words to fit the occasion and used them
vigorously.
BY this time the antics of the monkey
mad attracted a crowd. whose members
pressed their faces against the window
and regarded the roisterer with interest
until he pushed a big packing case
against the glass and made a hole. Then

chartered its opinion of the law. But
the law. having long arms. reached up
and cracked the monkey on the head.

parrots screamed, the dogs barlSed and
the canaries chirped. Every bird and
