One Q) Drink, Still Unqualified,
Upsets n. Y. National Guard

There has been great to-do in the
National Guard, it was learned yester-
day. over drink that is still undrunk.
Reports concerning that undrunk drink
have started on their stately and mo-
mentous progress along official high
ways that lead to the Adjutant Gen
eral of the state. and eventually to
the Governor himself.
1t all started with the Governor, too
or at least it started with Lieu
tenant Colonel James Eben OF the
list Regiment, saying to Governor
Miller: "How about a little snifter,
Gov ?" or whatever punctiliously
courteous lieutenant colonel of the
guard says to Governor when he
means "How about little snfter?"
That was last fall when the Ameri-
canization pageant was in progress at
the list Regiment Armory. The Gov
ernors staff was there as we'll as the
Governor, and after the Governor had
looked at his staff and his staff had
looked at the Governor, the Governor
looked at Lieutenant Colonel Eoon and
said: "Not a chance, old top" or what
ever Governor Of the state would
say to a lieutenant colonel when he
meant that he spl reclated The courtesy
but would have to pass up the drink.
Officers Of the Governors staff, how
ever, were not the only ones who were

PARIS. Jan. 25.-If political ques-
tons are to be discussed at the Genoa
economic conference France will STAY
out. That is the tenor of negotiations
which the Quai d'Orsay is CARRYING on
by telegraph with the other Chancel-
lerles of Europe in an effort to map out
the French course France takes the
attitude that any political discussions
at the gathering would result in an in
ternational muddle. and that France
would be better OF unentangled. Pre-
mier Poincare has sufficient support in
Parliament and in French public opin-
ion TO allow him to demand that the
other European nations plainly support
or reject the French attitude.
The question of what attitude Great
Britain will take toward the evidenc g
that Russia and Germany will work
together at Genoa, particularly in an
effort to revise the German war bill
there. linked with the fact that the
negotiations for the Anglo-French pact
are not going smoothly, is giving Pre-
mler Polncare some concern Italy's
stand also is still enigmatical.
Concern Over u. S. Stand
The growing Indications from Wash
ington that the United States is not
disposed to join the conference are
being considered in connection with
Frances efforts to formulate her fina,
decision. Unofficial advices from
Washington indicate that the two prin-
clpal obstacles to American participa-
tion are the existence of large Rus
sian Bolshevik army and Frances in
clination not to reduce her army. bal
ance her budget and allow a reduction
of Germany's war bill. The French
government anXiously awaits an Off
clai declaration from Washington, be-
cause if it actually refers to France 8
stand as an obstacle to American par
tlcipation the French ministrv's poll
cics will have suffered a serious blow.
On the other hand, if Americas re-
fusaI is based upon desire not to
recognize Russia by dealing with the
Soviet delegates, France will feel her
position materially strengthened
If France obtains the strong moral
guarantees she seeks from Russia and
Germany and is represented in the
conference, she will have solidly beh nd

tente and possibly Greece the latter

There is no Disgusting the fact h,re
that the pre-conference attitude Of

The case against Eickard was to bo

Alice readily admitted concocting
hairra ising stories to cover some
slight disobedence and ward off pun

concerning Richard and herself and
eleven-year-old Anna Hess was true,
she insisted. She told it without the
slightest hesitation or embarrassment,
and apparently without the slightest
inkling that it was an an unusual story
for q girl of fifteen to tell.
She and Anna had met Rickard in
August OF last year, she said, and ac-

in an apartment in West Forty-seventh

said, that they went there. She told in
