France May
Turn Down
Arms Pacts
Prospects for Ratification Of
Naval Treaty and Root Reso.
luton on Submarines and
Poison Gas Fading.
BY FLOYD GIBBONS.
dopssisht, 1879,

Paris, April i7.-It is becoming
Increasingly more eyiden, that
America cannot expect the French
ratification OF the naval pact and the
Root resolutions on submarine war;
fare and poison gas. The reason TOR
the French lack OF interest is beeom-
ing more apparent every day. All
the other proposed signatories 10 the
pae, will reap acknowledged ad-
vaniages. but for France there ap.
pears TO be no special benefit. II
is case OF mo consideration"
From the best informed circles IN
Paris one is informed that unless
other inducements are offered.
France will no, ratiiy. although there
need not be expected an immediate
direct statement OF its Feiieence.
Premier PoineaFe. representing as
he does the strong French nationalist
blocks. has washed his hands already
OF the pact. He has transmitted the
proposed treaty TO the chamber OF
deputies. bu, the transmission was
done without the endorsement OF the
present French administration. When
il is recalled that the treaty is an
instrument OF the BRAND govern
neni, which the present government
defeated and ousted. this lack OF sup
por, is hardly surprising and it is
most likely that the treaty will spend
many sleepy months jolting around
through the endless channels OF the
French legislative maze and finally
get lost entirely
Diplomatically. the horizon is clear
and NJ. Poincare's government cam
not be embarrassed by demands from
Washington for its action, because
the present administration can truth
fully represent that the matter, hav-
ing been handed on TO the legislative
bodies for action. is clearly out OF the
prime minister's hands.
Also the French legislature has an
excellent precedent for not ratifying
the measure in the action OF the
American congress concerning the
Versailles treaty.
French sentiment is fast growing
against the pact and one may expect
political expression OF this sentiment
any time soon. but outspokcn oppo-
sition to the treaty will hardly be
sounded for the present, when France
is facing Germany's won't pay note
on one hand and Russia's insisting on
disarmament cry on the other, and is
sorely taxed at Genoa to maintain all
the support possible, particularly
from the direction OF the only other
world nation not favoring the Genoa
conference.

ESTHER O'KEEFE
WINS TRIUMPH
OVER OPPONENTS
Plymouth Woman Candidate
for Congress Has Formida-
bic Lead Over District.
SWEEPS HOME COUNTY
Will Carry Marshall County
by 1000 VOtes-Has Com
handing Lead Here.

Every indication at 2 o'clock
Wednesday morning pointed to
the most triumphant nomination
Of Miss Esther O'Keefe for con-
gress on the democratic ticket.
In this county in II out of the
80 precincts. she had a lead of
SOB over Harry CRUDE, her near
est competitor. who was also
closest in every other county so
far reported.
In her home county of Mar
shall, the votes in seven of the
80 precincts had been counted
at this hour. In those precincts
the vote stood 397 for Miss
OKeefe and l27 for CRUDE. 1t
is predicted that Marshall county
will give her a lead of at least
1000 votes.
In four precincts in Fulton
county the vote was 204 for Miss
O'Keefe and 100 for CRUDE.
The vote in these precincts was
said to be fair gauge of what
may be expected in the other
counties.
Kosciusko county reported
but two precincts at this hour in
which the vote was 4 | for Miss
O'Keefe and SO for CRUDE.
In Elkhart, u precincts out of
IS gave her l45 to IS for
CRUDE.
The clear cut lead in all the
counties heard from makes it an
almost positive certainty that
Miss O'Keefe wins the honor of
being the first woman in Indiana
to become a candidate for fed
eral Office.
