The government wants the treaties
ratified before the Brussels conference
opens, because II feels II will be pos

developed a bitter feeling against

of Germans Is being brought Up In the
srevanche" school, this aspect Of the
nroblem "A a political one, and does
not imply actaal war preparation.
The Germany Of 1879 is not the Ger
many Of 1914. She has been compelled
40 Abolish her system Of conseriptioni
she has lost by the peace treaty the
larger portion Of her most valuable
coal and ore deposits, and coinciden'

she rossibly obtain substitutes for ST.

she Is lily developing her produe--
tion Of own coal, the efficiency OF
this fuci Is only oBe-fifth that Of reg

Industrially she is greatly weakened
and cannot turn her industry, which
admittedly Is still streng, 10 military
purposes. They calculate Il would take
AZ least two months 10 turn her great
Industrial machine 70 the production
Of war materials. and Z s could not be
done without attracting the attention
Of the world.
Think Germany's Guns Obsolete
Even assuming, say the non-Freneh
observers, thas there are heavy caliber
guns hidden in various remote parts
of Germany, these would almost GER
tainly be obsolete by the time new
war could be undertaken.
Moreover, they point out, Germany
virtually is isolated In Europe, politi-
cally. There exist, in some countries,
notably Russia, certain elements which
feel themselves eloseiy drawn 70 the
cid militaTist leaders Of Germany, and
who, taking Kemal ss an example.
dream Of repeating on a larger scale
Turkeys exploit Of liberating herself
from the consequences Of defeat. These
elements, however, are politically neg.
lieible, and cannot alter the present
situation.
Thus, summing Up, it may bo said
that while IL 10 possible to speak OF the
regeneration Of Germany aS . great

development would presuppose funda..

orientation Of Germsny's immediate

II is idle 10 speak Of q return Of the
politico-military Germany Of 1914,
which is absolutely dead. There arc
many widespread reports Of the mys-
terious plots and dark doinge Of tho
German monArchiSts and militarists
which cause much alarm throughout
the world, but these are greatly ex-
aggerased and should be consequently
heavily discounted. They are not the
threatening voices Of a new and rising
social order, but rather the last gssps
and broken mutterings Of the smashed
regime Of Eaiserism, the chances Of
rAatoratlon Of which are very small.

BIBY WILL NOT ACCEPT
VIII Not Quit Near East Work to Be-

VIII Not Quit Near East Work to Be-
come C. of c. Secretary.
All doubt as to the probability of
w A. Biby, state director of the Near
East Relief, becoming the successor
of G. c. Sickler, as secretary of the
settled today when Biby intiThated to
the directors and officers of the
Chambe that he would not be able to
consider ans offer of the Secretaryship,
such as has been discussed in news
paper reports and in Chamber of
Commerce circles since the announce
ment of Siclller's resignation.
In a statement today Biby said, II
should feel like the worst sort of a
gutter if I abandoned the Near East
Relief at the present time, when our
activities are more pressing. when the
need is the greatest that it has ever
been, for the matter of an increase
in income.
Il am firmly convinced that the
Near East Relief is the most effective
and deserving humanitarian activity
in the world today A change in the
state craftsmanship of the work in
Kansas would me an the loss of thou
sands of dollars to the Near East Re
lief in this state, just at the time when
the Smyrna disaster has immensely
complicated our work.
Il have just returned from a trip
thru the Near East. know from per-
sCnal observation and contact that the
Near East Relief is the largest ana
most effective effort for human well
fare of today. 1 am sold omit, by my
personal contact with the 100000 chill
dren there who have no hope for the
future except in the interest of Amer
lea, and in the leadership of men who
are able to keep the interest of Amer
lea alive.
Il look forward to the time when I
can quit this sort of work, but there
is still plenty of time for that,~and
after the courtesies which the heads
of the Near East Relief have shown
me, L should feel like a gutter if L left
the organization at the present time.
II deeply appreciate the compliment
implied by the board of directors in
the consid Iteration of my name as n
possible secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce.
No business of special interest was
transacted at today's meeting of the
board of directors. The executive
committee was instructed to communi-
cate with several candidates for the
position of secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce.

TURN. BACK TO FIRST CLUE
Escape of Mrs. Phillips Has AutIlori-
ties Completely Baff.ed.


Los Angeles, Dec. 11.-Still without
tangible clue and admitting frankly
they are more mystified now at the
daring escape of Clara Phillips, con-
victed hammer murderess,'' than the
minute the alarm of her get away was
given, deputy sheriffs assumed re-
newed hope today as they continued
to look for the missing woman.
Centering their efforts on the be-
lief that the former chorus girls es-
cape almost a week ago was an I'm
side" job, and known among the
prisoners, Undersheriff Eugene BIS
cailuZ continued to question every
prisoner in the jail to ascertain what
they knew of her breakk for freedom.
Biscailuz at the end of several hours
of questioning gof prisoners. said he
had obtained conclusive information
that led him to- believe the tiger
woman's'' escape was carefully
planned by three famous underworld
who combined in one great eff
fort to get her out of Jail.
Tracing Mrs Phillips sensational
get away from the window of her cell.
where she cut the bars with a diamond
hack saw, minute measurements of a
woman's toe print, found on the roof
of the Jail building, were gone over in
detail today in an effort to reconstruct
the case. Three prints of a human
toe, declared beyond a doubt to be
those of Mrs. Phillips, were found in
4 pile of brick dust. But after the
third impression, the flight of Mrs.
Phillips vanishes into n realm of SEEM
lngly impregnable mystery.

FIGURES PROVE IT
Vaccination Shown as Means of
Preventing Smallpox.
Denver Statistics Quoted by To-
peka Health Officer.

Does vaccination have anything TO
DO with the prevention of smallpox
Despite the educational campaign
that has been conducted by doctors
ana tests that have been made by
physicians all over the country in
recent years. there still remain a num-
Der of persons who doubt the value of
smallpox vaccinations as preventive
OF the disease.
Figures on vaccination. or rather
lack OF il, by DenN er citizens, from
November. 1921, to December, 1922,
may enlighten those skeptically in
clined. The figures are taken from a
letter received by Or Earle G. Brown,
city health officer of Topeka
Denver had S54 cases of smallpox
IN the period mentioned above, and
263 deaths Occurred-.-Of that number
176 cases were vaccinated. but all of
them were old vaccinations In fact
only three cases had beer Vaccinated
seven years or less previous to the
"a king of the disease. Others were of
longer standing than that. The vac
cinasiOn is not supposed to be effective
FOR more than seven wears TIL
Der of cases of the disease in persons
VINO had not been va cci4I.tNe>4. ...As 20 49,.
This shows cOnclusively that tn"
number of persons who had not been
vaccfnated and Who contracted the
disease, far outnumber the cases that
had been vaccinated. The fact that
u large number had not been yaccin-
ated for more than seven years shows
That the vaccination. even tho old,
still is a preventive measure
In November. 1922. the city of Den
Yer had 252 casSs of the disease, and
of that number. ninety-two died. This
is little more than Sc per. cent OF
deaths. Fifu--four of the cases for
that period had been vaccinated a
number OF years previous TO contract
ing the disease. and 19S of the cases
for the month had not been vaccinated
at all
Many Cases Reported Since September
OF the 81 cases reported in Den
yer TO December 1. this year, 444 have |
been reported since September 1. !
1922. From November. 1921, 10 Sep
TENDER, 1922, the number of cases re
ported was 40. with total of 123 |
deaths
But one case of smallpox has been /
reported in Topeka since April. and |
that one was brought into the city by
a transient person. The practice of
vaccination here is known to keep
down the disease. 1t has become an
esta blished belief among doctors that
vaccination is the only preventive for
the disease.
As a result of the wide spread of the
disease in Denver. the city has made
compulsory This was alb
solutely necessary. it was shown, to
stop the disease from spreading and !
threatening the lives of thousands of
persons each year. The Denver report
is taken from a letter received at the
office of Dr. Earl G. Brown, city
health officer
