BRITISH PREM|ER'S
VIEWS ON FOREIGN
POLICY BY M|D-WEEk

London, Dec. II. (By the A. Ply
Premier Bonar Law, who has remain

days conversations between the AL
lied ministers, while the others gave
out the news and views regarding
the proceedings. is not expected to

nut British official circles do not ex-
press optimistic views regarding the
breakdown CT the conference.
After Mr.. Bonar Laws speech on
Thursday, the floor will be taken by
Mr.. Lloyd George, who tonight is
said to be chuckling at the thought
that even the tranquility OF the new
conservative government has been
unable to bring the French into line
en- a national PREPARATIONS settlement.
Throughout the premiers' confer
ence, the policy of force has clashed
with that of foresight on tLe repara-
lions issue, according to the British,
with the result that the year 1922
VIII end with almost as great an Al
lied discord as did the year 1921. 1t
Is pointed out that the French atti-
tude has considerably altered since
the summer, even the French no
longer hope to exact $500, O00. 900
pounds sterling as set by the first
reparations plan, but there is still a
"ide difference regarding the meth
eds of obtaining third of that sum.
which. it is now considered possible
to obtain.
There is said to be hope of further
concessions on the part of France
before the continuation O. the con-
versations at Paris. otherwise htere
appears to be no certainty that the
British and French can accommodate
their different viewpoints. A wider
breach than now exists between the
French and British has been pre-
vented by the recent hardening of
the British attitude toward Germany.

unue to be their own worst enemies.

ShOtguns in Place
Rifles Prevented
Fatalities in Mass.

Boston, Dec. 11-Because shotguns
instead Of rifles are used in this
state for deer hunting there were no
fatal accidents during deer week,
which closed Saturday at sunset,
Deputy Chief Orrin c. Bourne of the
state division of fisheries and game,
said tonight. According to reports
reaching the State House, LOSS deer
were killed in the week as against
1885 last year. The argument in
favor Of the shotgun as opposed to
the rifle. according to Bourne, is
that 4 hunter must get close to his
quarry to kill it with shot, and SO
there is no possibility Of his mistak-
ing q human being for deer. The
shotgun also eliminates the danger
arising from the carrying quality of
the modern rife projectile.

RUSSIA HOLDS HOPE
FORCING HER PLANS
ON LAUSANNE meet

lausanne, Dec. IL. (By A. Ply
Russia has not abandoned hope Of

NJ. Tchitcherin called on Tsmet
Pasha today with counter proposals.
He Informed lsmet that Russia would
surely never sign a straits settle
ment which followed the lines of the
Allied project. The Allied project is
That the straits shall be open to as
many warships of each nation as are
possessed by the greatest maritime
power of the Black Sea, which will
certainly be Russia
AS a counter measure Tchitcherin
asked that the Turkish delegation
support a plan whereby foreign ma
tons could despatch through the
straits only one third as many war;
ships as Russia maintained in fhe
Black Sea. This. he argued, was only
fair to Russia, because tie entente
powers could always amaIsamate
their forces and thus be as powerful
as Russia.
Ismet Pasha told M. Tchitcherin
tilat the world wanted the straits
opened on a reasonable basis and
That Turkey should not combat the
whole world.

COURTS DECISION
WITHIN TWO WEEKS
|N:CR0N DIVORCE
DEMOCRATS LOSE
NO TIME IN ATTACK
ON SHIPPING BILL

"dohiiIStOIi, DeC. 1.-The ADMIN
istration shipping bill wa taken up
today by the Senate and was subject
ed Immediately to a baptism of fire
at the hands of Democratic oppon-
cnts.
Chairman Jones Of the commerce
committee, which reported the bill
Saturday after making several
changes in the House draft, called
up the measure.
The Democrats started their at
tack as soon as Chairman Jones
made his first move in the legisla-
tive struggle, which is expected to
occupy the Senate for weeks.
Republican supporters of the bill
rather expected an attack by the
Democrats to prevent the taking up
Of the bill. but the motion was car
ried without dissent on a viva voce
vote.
The proposal by Senator Jones
that the Senate, on quitting work to-
day recess instead of adjourn in or
der to expedite consideration of the
bill. was used by three Democratic
senators as a vehicle of attack on
the administration policy with re-
spect to the measure and on the
legislatio nitself. The proposal later
was ruled out of order by Senator
McNary, Republican, Oregon, who
was presiding. on a point raised by
Senator Harrison. Democrat, Missis-
sippi.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas led
off in the attack, with a criticism OF
the administrations course in post
poning house action until after the
elections on what he described as
"concededly unpopular" legislation,
and then in bringing pressure to
bear to hasten enactment of the
measure.
The ship bill, Senator Robinson
said, entered into the fall campaign
more than fifty Congressional dis
tricts and in every case, he asserted
the candidate supporting the legis-
lation, went down to defeat.
Senator Harrison. in arguing his
point of order, denied that he or any
other Democratic senator proposed
to filibuster against the bill. He crit
icized the action of the administra-
ton in calling the special session at
which the House passed the shipping
bill.
The Democratic attack was con-
tinued by Senator Stanley. Kentucky,
who described the ship bill as
"a measure in behalf of few peo-
pie" and as evidence of what he con-
tended was general departure from
the governments principle Of spec
ial privileges to none and equal
rights to ALL
When the reading of the bill was
concluded, the Senate adjourned
until tomorrow, when Senator Jones
plans to make his first set speech in
the bills behalf.

Sweeping Victory for
Dry Enforcement in
Supreme Court
Decision in Washington State
: Test Case Says Both Can
Punish for Same Unlawful
Act-Government loses Con.
teition Can impose and collect
As Taxes Penalties Laws Not
Repealed by Volstead Act

Washington, Dec. 1.-Two cases
considered by the government of ma
jor importance in the enforcement of
national prohibition were decided by
the supreme court today. In one of
them, coming from the state of Wash
ington, the government scored a sweep
ing victory the supreme court holding
that both the federal and state govern
ment can prosecute and punish the
same unlawful act in the manufacture,
possession, transportation or sale of
intoxicating liquors.
In the other case, coming from CAL
ifornia, the government lost in its
contention that in the enforcement of
national prohibition an executive Off
Ger can impose and collect as taxes the
assessments and penalties imposed by
those sections of the revised statutes
which remain unrepealed by the Vol
stead act and which became law while
the manufacture and sale Of intoxicat-
ing liquor was not prohibited.
The United States district court for
western Washington dismissed an in
dictment charging Vito LAMA, Dick
EldnuIdCIuTlnE,
transporting and possessing intoxicat-
ing liquors. on the ground that they
had been tried and convicted in the
state courts for the same offense. In
reversing this action today the supreme
court held that Tin the absence of
special provision by Congress, convic-
ton and punishment in a state court
under a state law for making, trans
porting and selling Intoxicating liz
quors is not bar to prosecution in
court of the United States under the
federal law for the same acts"
Each state, as also Congress-" said

exercise an Independent Judgment in
selecting and shaping measure to en-
force prohibition. Such as arc adopted
by Congress become laws of the United
States, and such as are adopted by
state become laws of taat state They
may vary in many particulars. includ-
ing the penalties prescribed. but this is
an inseparable incident of independent
legislative action in district jurisdic-
tons"
Tho dcciara ton that the states
should have concurrent power" was
defined by the court as intended to
negative any possible inference that
investing the national government
with the power of country wide pro-
hibition, state power would be ex-
cluded." Under the 18th amendment
state was left free, the court held,

AT AUGUSTA

Ernest l.. Mclean, Democratic can
didate was elected Mayor of Augusta
by margin of 1854 votes over Melvin
L. Sawtelle yesterday in the bienniel
municipal election. Mr.. Mclean re-
ceived Psi votes against Mr.. Saw
tellc's 1917. The Democrats won of
the wards of the city for mayor;
the Republicans carried ,. 3, and 6
for the head of their ticket.
Mr.. Mclean is the first Democratic
mayor of Augusta since 1856
when Elmer E. Newbert carried the
city for his party. The city gov
ernmcnt remains Republican, with
the G. O. p. having aldermen and
the Democrats 8. On the board of
aldermen there are now II Republic
cans and 4 Democrats, and one alder
man still remains in doubt due to. a
tie between Richard r. Ryan and
Harvey V. Pierce, each of whom
polled 300 votes in Ward z. A re-
count will be necessary to determine
which of the two will take their
place on the board.
The. vote on yesterday was much
heavier than that Of two years ago
when Judge Sanford J.. FogG receiy-
ed 1909 votes for mayor against DR.
Lewis l.. Mann's 1417 on the Demo-
cratic ticket. The total vote at that
election was 1926, while 1898 voters
cast their ballots ycsterday-or 67o
more than two years ago.
While the Republicans elected a
city government, the election of Mr..
Mclean as Mayor gives the Demo-
Gratis virtual control of the city as
practically all the chief city offiials
are appointed by the Mayor under
the present Citysharter.
The vote in the morning was COM
paratively light. but in the afternoon
the ballots increased steadily until

PRELIMINARY MEET
ALLIES IN PARIS TO
talk PREPARATIONS

London, Dec. 11.-(By A. Pr
The London conference on German
reparations, generally described as
the critical conference. ended today
In agreement only on another con-
ference. The next link in the long
chain Of the Allies struggles to get
together will be forged at Paris on
January 2nd. There will be fort
night then left for the Allies to agree
upon some program.
The moratorium granted the Ger
mans expires January IL and the
next payment on account of repara-
lions, which Germany protests she
is unable to meet, will be due on
that date.
The agreement to disagree-only
temporary, the diplomats assert
was consummated in three days, en-
bracing four meetings of the Allied
premiers. The rock on which har-
mony foundered was the British re-
fusal formally to countenance the
French project for partial occupa-
ton of the Ruhr and taking charge
of important German industries. The
British cabinet met this afternoon
and registered it's refusal to coop
crate with France in such measures.
Premier Mussolini'o proposals for
settlement were treated courteous
iy, but were not taken seriously. The
German note was rejected unani-
nously with the general comment
that it meant merely sparring to
gain time.
The British government submitted
nc general plan to solve the dead
lock: it practically offered to cancel
Frances debt to Great Britain as an
inducement for scaling down the
amount of the monetary demand up
on Germany.
The French, Italian and Belgian
premiers, with their staff of experts.
will embark for home tomorrow
mo ming.
This conference resembles several
of its predecessors in that the con-
ferees insist it has not been a fail
,re. that its dissolution cannot be
described as deadlock, and, in gem
eral, that there is a better under
standing among them than before
they met
However steadfastly she may
stand aloof and protest her detach-
ment from these European debates,
the United States cannot prevent her
name from being involved and the
possibilities of her participation be-
ing made the subject of speculation.
Continental politicians contend that
reparations and the adjustment of
war debts cannot be separated and
that the United States cannot avoid
becoming party to the solution of
these problems
