THE limit of three miles was fixed. II

when that distance was the greatest
range of a cannon, and was upon the
theory that nation could exercise ter

in defense Of his proposition Since the
range of cannon has increased to
range of four or Ave times beyond what
1t was in the eighteenth century. SO

Nearly all the publcists agree that the

also that there is need for the extension
Of the limit beyond three miles from

Senator Sterling added he would have
asked a vote on his proposition last ses-

would be taken up through diplomatic
channels with a view of getting an
agreement TO extend the limit.

Atlanta Capitalist Refuses All
Her Demands for
Names.

ATLANTA, Oct. Johannes OF persons
who furnished to Asa G.. Gambler. Sr.,
Atlanta capitalist, the information that
prompted his decision to break his en-
gagement to marry Mrs. Oneizema De-
bouchel will not be dlvulged. according
TO w. D. Thompson, personal attorney
for Mr.. Gambler.
Mrs. Debouchel, In statement earlier
to-day. criticized what she termed a
clumsy conspiracy and hideous SIAN

vulge his sources Of information reflect
ing upon her character.
''Mr. Gambler sincerely regrets that
Mrs. Debouchel should have given such
publicity to an unfortunate private af-
FAIR" the statement by Mr.. Thompson
read Certain friends brought him in
formation in confidence which made II
impossible for a marriage between them
to have been a happy one. He COM
municated this to Mrs. Debouchel. He
has not and would not disclose il to any
one else. He feels it would be unfair
for him TO disclose the names OF his
friends and thereby shift TO them re-
sponsibility which he alone will bear
unless these friends at the proper time
and place volunteer TO repeat what they
told TO him.
Mrs Debouchel in reply to this said
THE statements of Mr.. Gambler S
friends are utterly unfounded and I'M
true and I do not believe that they are
even believed by him. At any rate, the
first statement in his letters to me be-
fore / came to Atlanta accused me OF
receiving men in my room during the
reunion here in 1919. This disproved
in the presence OF Mr.. Gambler and his
son. They then charged me with plead
ing with travelling salesman TO come
and see me in my room al the Piedmont
Hotel and only allowing him TO leave
me on his promise to come and see me
in New Orleans"
All arrangements had been completed
for the wedding TO take place at Rene
