SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
PLACED SQUARELY
BEFORE CONGRESS
Must Either Pass Act Salvag-
ing Fleet or Take Respon-
Sibility for Destruction.
By David Lawrence.
Especial Correspondent of The Eve
ninp Worldly

WASHINGTON, Nov. 81 Copy
right President Harding to-day
placed squarely before Congress an
ultimatum-either pass the bill SAL
vaging the American merchant feet
from further loss or take the respon
sibility of a destructive alternative.
The message of the President Is
fraught with the most dangerous con-
sequences to the Republican Party.
The party must stand by its leader
or wreck the Administration chances
of succeeding itself
Mr.. Harding is fully aware Of the
hostility of members of the Republi-
can Party from the Middle West to
the ship subsidy program. Courage
ously he has chosen TO fight. And
the bombardmeut OF facts which the
President has started will not end
with a mere message. II will % fol-
lowed by personal conferences in a
heart-to- heart appeal to stand by the
President, by the Administration and
by the principle of united Republi-
can Party. Insurgents there are.
Prejudices are numerous. But against
them all the President arrays the
facts.
Discreetly Mr.. Harding attacks the
weakness OF the situation, the name
OF the legislation "ship subsidy" He
tries to convert this weakness due TO
prejudice into a point OF strength.
He argues that Government appro-
priations for good roads are q sub
sidy, the War Finance Corporation
granted subsidies. the money spent
for inland waterway Improvement is
a subsidy, and so on with dozens OF
other expenditures which appear to
benefit a class but on behalf OF
which It Is claimed that ultimately
the whole country benefits.
Mr.. Harding, 1t Is conceded in
Washington, made out in his message
the strongest case for his bill tina;
might have been made. He epitomiaed
and emphasized all the arguments
which for nearly a year have envel-
oped the project of Government aid
70 shipping. But the keynote which
will be taken UP by his party asso-
clates was the idea of reducing Gov
ernment eXpenditures-the idea Of
economy rather than further spend
ing
The President contends that the
Government is spending $4,000 900
4 year and wearing out its own ships.
He proposed by the new legislation
that the Government spend not more
than $30,OO0,OOO, an economy OF S2O,-

Clemenceau Will Attack Ger
man "Bad Faith" and
DeSertion by u. S.
BEGINS TO FEEL STRAIN
Will Give Hour and a Half
Message to America
Tonight.
By Ferdinand Touhy.

Clemenceau spent the morning and
early afternoon fighting off would be
interviewers in the Charles Dana Glib
son home in East I'D Street. The
hall was packed with callers, includ-
ing many French women, and al! with
varying requests, such as appeals for
charities or for signatures on photo
graphs. The Tiger was, however,
almost unapproachable and sat up
stairs alone preparing the notes for
to-night's speech.
He told me he had slept his usual
five hours, and though he was looking
thinner and slightly more tired than
or board ship, he said he was all
ready for the fray.
He expects to talk for an hour and
half, and, acting on advice, he has
decided to delete from his speech a
long tale of figures and statistics
proving Germany's lack of good faith
in connection with the treaty. He
will, however, head these later, prob
ably at Boston.
Tonight he intends talking practi-
cally eXtemporaneously. He looks
upon it as the second greatest mo-
ment of his life, preference being
given to his oration in the Chamber of
Deputies four years ago announcing
victory.
He intends stressing heavily what
he considers to be the advent of a
new triple alliance aimed against the
Allied and associated powers and con-
sistlng Of Kemalist Turkey. the re-
dictionary Germany of Ludendorf, and
Russia OF the Soviets. Drawn to-
gether in common adversely these
powers, in Clemenceau's eyes, consti-
tute the gravest menace of tn mo-
ment.
II is likely that his reference to the
new forming Triple Alliance will be
one of the cornerstones of the speech,
the others being a fiat showing-u up Of
Lloyd George trickery and the failure
on the part Of the United States to
provide France with a guarantee
against German aggression. But no
one knows Just what the "Tiger" will
say. not even himself. Thus. he was
profoundly interested when I told him
Of the Italian Prime Minister'S extra
ordinary stand against France and
England at Lausanne.

He urged Congress to forget local
political questions in dealing with tho
problem. He said some members had
expressed the fear that a vote for
tho subsidy would hurt them with
their constituents. To them, he an

Whatever the view taken, ''the

dent added. In addition to wiping
out this loss, the Subsidy Bill, he
declared. would offer the only de-
pcndable promise Of making our war

dalton of a great agency OF commerce
in peace, and an added guaranty Of

national defense"
The Administration bill, with
amendments agreed to yesterday by
Republican members, was formally re-
ported out by the House Merchant
Marine Committee to-day, without a
record vote, while President Harding
was arranging TO so to the Capitol.

.ST|NG|NG REDUKE
/. FOR LIQUOR JURY
BY JUDGE foster
Orders Dismissal Over
Letter CriticiSing Day
and Parsons.
VIOLATED THEIR DUTY
Rules Their indictments
Savor of Prejudice in
CenSure of Foreman.

Never in the history OF the Federal
Courts of this district has a Grand
Jury been subjected to such a scathing
denunciation as Judge Rufus Foster
administered to the Grand Jury in
vestigating Prohibition scandals In the
Criminal Branch of the United States
District Court to-day. At the close of
a fifteen minute lecture he summarily
dismissed the jury, but reconsidered
at the request of Assistant District
Attorney Clarke and ordered that any
indictments which have been found or
will be found shall be reported to him
at IL o'clock Thursday morning, when
the dismissal will take effect.
A sensational feature of the attack
of the Judge was his statement that
Indictments that may be handed up
will carry a taint of prejudice. In the
judgment Of veteran practitioners In
the Federal Courts this means that
ten weeks work Of the Prohibition
Grand Jury has been practically nulli-
fed because the defence has already
been furnished by the court with a
motive to move for the dismissal OF
any indictment on the ground that 1t
was found by prejudiced body.
The offence committed by the
Grand Jury, OF which w. de S. Tren-
holm, Secretary Of the Retail Dry
Goods Association, No. 130 West 42d
Street, is foreman, was the giving out
for publication in last Saturdays
newspapers of a copy of letter writ
ten by the foreman to Judge Foster
and handed to him, sealed, on Oct. 27'
The letter carried bitter criticism
Of former Prohibition Director Ralph
A, Day and former Prohibition En-
forcement Officer John s. Parsons,
and also carried the intimation that
there was something suspicious about
the fact that the letter, mailed on Oct.
o., did not reach Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon until after Nov. 1, on
which date the designations Of Day
and Parsons were accepted. In the
letter Mr.. Trenholm stated that the
Grand Jury believed that the resigna-
tions should have been held up so that
the men under Investigation could be
kept under supervision until an inves-
tigation then under way was con
cluded.
Judge Foster refused to comment
on the publication of the letter on
Saturday or since, until he brought
up the matter by issuing an order on
his arrival at the Federal Building at
II o'clock for the Grand Jury fore
port to him in court as soon as posi-

Especial from a Staff Correspo ndent
Of The Evening Worldly

SOMERNILLE, n. j., Nov. Ill
An unexpected story told by George
Sipel. hog and cattle dealer of Mid
dlebush. has discredted the evidence
Of Mrs. Nellie Lo Russell. Negrcss
that Mrs. Gibson was at the Russell
home and at her own house the night
she said Sc saw te murderers of the
Rev. Mr.. Hall and Mrs. Mills. The
new testimony is even more conclusive
than the record on Mrs. Gibson S
calendar diary.
Sipel has been subpoenacd. The
purpose of calling him before the men
and the women of the Grand Jury was
to ask him about Il report that the
! automobile which lighted the face of a
, woman Mrs Gibson says was Mrs,
. Hall and a man companion in Dc Rus
sey Lane was his Mrs. Gibson had
heard he had told friend named
John Garry that he had seen Mrs.
Gibson Hipel says he never told her
anything. that he was not on the Phil
lips farm and showed an almost fran
tic eagerness to avoid appearing as a
witness.
But Sipel in accounting for his
movements the night Of Sept. IA told
this story:
About Sept. he had sold horse
to Mrs Nellie Lo Russell. On the
morning of Sept. II he found the
horse tied to a tree in front Of his
house, having been returned by Mrs.
Russell without any word to him.
The condition of the horse was such
that Sipel drove into New Brunswick
in the afternoon and made a COM
plant to Assistant superintendent
Knothe of the Society for the Preven-
ton of Cruelty to Animals. He took
Mr. Knothc with him to Mrs. Russell S
home at 7o'cloCk. She was not at
home. They returned at o'clock, at
9 o'clock and at 10 o'clock, and sew
eral days later when the horse matter
had been adjusted she aid she was

been home at all that night.

THE UNITED STATES
AND THE FRENCH

Washington, Dec. lbs the case
of France being helped or harmed IN
the United States By the spectacular
speaking tour IN America OF Georges
Clemenceau, the graf Frnch war
premier?
The answer to that difficult ques-
ton can only be given st this time
from the official standpoint OF the
American Government.
So far as the officisl policies OF the
United States Government are con-
eerned. the Grand Old Man OF
France is not helping the position
of his country here in the least, and
in fact. his declarations are working
distinct harm. according to prominent
officials here.
Ore OF the most interesting sides OF
the Tigers addresses here, observers
believe. is that he is believed to have
revealed the state OF mind of France
and of the present French govern
nent.
The fact is that France is shak-
ing with fear from her frightful eX-
periences at the hands of Germany
and all of her world policies are al
feet bv this obession of fear. That
fear is the cause Of the French pol
icies. which. in the opinion OF. this Gov
eminent. are retarding the economic
