To Be Debated
Before League
Cecil Holds Debts Owing
to U. S. Are Bound Up i'm
Reparation Problem, but
French Member Differs
Resolution Is Due To-day
Jouvenel to Ask Assembly
to Urge Councils Action
ON Economic Questions

GENEVA, Sept. 20 (By The Assoc-
ated Press.--The debate on the effect OF
the "inter-Allied" or "intergoverr-
mental" debts upon the worlds dis
ordered economic system, which will
come before the Assembly of the
League of Nations soon, is the dominat-
ing question, and interest is quickened
by the formulation of4such an idea in a
resolution which NJ. de Jouvenel, rep
resenting France, will present to-mor-
row to the disarmament committee.
The fact that Lord Robert Cecil in
his report to the committee referred
to "intergovernmental" debts, while
M. de Jouverel talks of ''inter-Allied"
debts, does not mean that there is any
divergence of view between them
Neither Lord Roberts report nor M.
de Jouvenol's resolution can have any
other effect than to provoke discussion,
as the Assembly can do nothing more
than pass resolution to bring the
question before the world.
Cecil Would Take Up U. S. Loans
Lord Robert, as is his custom, wanted
to go to the bottom of the world S
economic problems, which he con-
sidered inseparably connected with the
debts owing the United States, as we'll
as the debts among the Allies. M. de
Jouvcnel, however did not think it
necessary to raise the question of the
American debts IN this discussion.
What the effect C the debate will be
depends on how the opinion of the
leading delegates influences the sub
sequent attitude Of the Allied govern
ments.
There is a strong current Of opinion
that the league can act effectively with
the governments, replacing the Repa-
ratlons Commission and removing a
good deal of friction that has devel-
oped in the effort to apply the repara-
tion clauses of the treaty

reads:
The Assembly, considering that ma
terial disarmament requires previous
moral disarmament, and that the lat
ter cannot be realized except in an
atmposphere Of security and mutual
confidence, notes that this confidence
will be impossible as long as disequi-
llbrium of exchanges and economic
chaos and idleness from which the
world suffers are perpetuated, and that

Judge. Wilkerson, interrupting the
submission of affidavits by the defense,
raised the question of whether peace

other workers from taking their places
might not inevitably be followed by
lawless acts and the suppression OF
the peaceful, persuasive methods be
necessary to curb the lawless acts.

adopting such methods should not be
held accountable for the small proper

The committee composed of j. Y.
Williams, Mayor j. NJ. Duncan and
Carroll Pierce, from this city and
Thomas r. Keith and Wilson NJ. Farr
from Fairfax, held a very important
conference with the State Highway
Commission and the Attorney Gen
eral yesterday and it is believed that
the outcome of this conference will
result in an arrangement being en-
tered into which will assure the road
from here to Fairfax Court House.
1t is hoped that all of the plans can
be perfected so as to enable Fairfax
County to actually start work on this
road early in the Spring. as very few
thoughtful people can help realizing
how much it will benefit this city to
be coupled up with the richest counties
Of Virginia by modern highway
system and without this link this will
not be possible.

NOT APPEAL
COURT VERDICT
Time Limit For Filing Ap.
peal in His Case Has
Expired
TO SERVE 20 YEARS
Convicted Of Fatal Shooting of Henry
Briscoe in Fairfax County October
15, 1921.

The case of William H. Oehlert, con-
vcted in the Fairfax County court Of

sided in the case of Oehlert, has just
received letter from Oehlert asking
that he be sent to the penitentiary.
Among other things, the prisoner
stated in the letter that the case would
not be appealed, as he guessed an ap-
peal would not do him any good.
The shooting of Briscoe took place
the night cf October Is, 1921, on the
Camp Humphreys road, about two
miles south of Alexandria, in Fair
fax county That night the prisoner
was taken in custody at his home.
When the case was tried Oehlert's
defense was that he did not know
that he shot anyone and that rocks
were hurled at his automobile from
the Briscoe party, which in addition to
Briscoe consisted Of two others.
At the time of the shooting of Bris-
coe and his two companions had stop
ped their automobile on the road and
had just concluded friendly argu-
ment with another automobilist about
the blocking of the road when Oehlert

ment and subsequently returned to his
automobile from which he fired the

ciated with the Social Hygiene Bu-

towards a juvenile court. not treating
cases of delinquent children in the
regular police court, and the i'm
portance of a curfew law to safe
guard the young and the vital need
of woman probation officer, not a
