GERMANS ACCUSE BONAR LAW
OF PLAYING ROLE OF "PILATE;;"
CENTER HOPES IN WASHINGTON
Berlin Believes Britain Gave France Free Hand in
Enforcement of Reparations in Return for Oil
Concessions From the Turks, Whom
France Will Continue to Support
Both Financially and Politically

On the other hand, Great Britain, say
the, Germans, has let Poincare carry
out his long cherished plan of using
troops to bring Germany to terms.
Though these German charges have
not been printed in the newspapers al
most all of them agree that there is
scarcely a chance of the British in
tervening in the present reparations
situation in an effort to prevent the
occupation of the Ruhr. The British
premier is just as unpopular here now
as yd-George was after the London
conference two years ago when Ger
many believed that he would oppose
the French reparations demands but
failed to do SO.
The eyes of most Germans are on
Washington. where they hope that
plans are being made right at this
time to save Germany from further
destruction. Nobody has clear
idea of how the United States can
suddenly step in and save the situa-
ton. But although Germany has been
disappointed time and time again in
her hopes that the United States would
help. this great faith in Uncle Sam
remains and is as strong today as 1t
was when the armistice was signed
four years ago. The. big question in
the minds of the Germans, is "will the
United States disappoint us egain?'

FRANCE PLEASED THAT
NO DIRTY WORK WAS
TRIED AT CONFERENCE
"Sharp, Clean Breaks With
no Hitting in
Clinches."
By WILLIAM BIRD.

Copyright, 1923, by The san Antonio Light.
Paris, Jan. Ga sharp, clean break
with no hitting in the clinches.
This is the popular conception of the
result of the Paris conference translated
into terms of the street. Despite gen.
eral disappointment o, the disagree
ment, there is a growing feeling that it
will leave France and England better
friends than did many of the confer
ences held under the management of
Lloyd-Georgc which were hugging
matches with foul blows being dealt out
in an underhand fashion.
1t may be too early to say that
straightforward sincerity has replaced
the dark. ways of the old diplomacy.
Nevertheless it is very strongly felt that
the existing frank, open disagreement is
cleaner, healthier and better in every
way than the pretended accords with
which past conferences generally ended.
Although the press o., both sides free
ly condemn the policies and plans of
the opposite government, there is full
acknowledgment and appreciation of
the plain speaking by the other side and
the evident friendly intentions indicat-
ed.
Considerable pleasure also is felt be-
cause the prompt decision bringing the
French and British to disagree, rang
down the curtain leaving the cocksure
Mussolini who was prepared to take the
center of the stage, standing in the
wings after the audi nee had gone home.
For the first time in three years the
issue seems clear. The matter now is
up to the home opinion in each country.
1h,.e seems no doubt that the British
people will uphold Bonar Law in refus-
ing to back the French on any new mill
tary or economic encroachments on Ger
many. The main test will come in
France. When the excitement quiets
down there is growing feeling here in
Paris that Poincarc may have diff
cult time reconciling public opinion t.
the open break with England.

Chicago. Jan. 6.-The lid was clamp
ed down in Chicago tonight for the
first time in years.
Within a few hours the city had
been turned from the worst in the

to a clean, moral town.
The change was made on the eve Of
an investigation by county grand
jury to charges by cleanup leaders
that $2JO,OOO weekly was being paid
by vice kings to operate a wide-open
underworld.
Crap and card games, which flourish
ed in every block, were quietly closed
ms the leaders and croupiers who had
been gathering here from every gamb-
ling center of the world, made a
silent exodus.
Houses of i'll repute were closed as
their inmates joined in the trek. Boot
leggers would not sell a drop.

Woman Politician Wants to Give Up Job
So That She Can Accomplish More Good
BY JOSEPHINE VAN DE GRIFT

Yonkers, n. v. Jan. 6.-Justice Of
the Peace Carrie r. Thomas will go be
fore the state legislature shortly to ask
that her job be abolished.
The woman, who was the first in the
state to be elected to such an office and
whose townspeople gave her the largest
vote of any candidate, is willing to fore
go political distinction il, by so doing.
she can better the cause of the common
people. H,
Justice Thomas would have courts
of Cancellation supersede the office to
which she was elected.
"The office of justice used to be
known as the poor mans court" she
says, but l soon discovered that this
was not so. Hundreds of persons with
small just claims were obliged to pass
them up because they could not pay
the fees.
Under my plan courts would be
established where litigants would be
given legal advice without charge. Then,
If they still could not settle their diff
ferenccs, they could carry them into the
higher courts. o. T..
"These courts Of Cancellation would
be open courts for court paraphernalia
is very impressive 10 certain types Of
mind. On the bench would be one, two
or three judges who would serve without
pay. These judges would be older law
yers or retired merchants and they
would render decisions Immediately.
Nearly all small claims are just ones
but the long waits imposed by legal
processes frequently work severe hard
ship on the poor"
Although she has three years of her
term yet to serve Justice Thomas is
willing to have the office done away
with at once so that the new court
may be established.
She describes her attitude as charsc-
teristic of the woman in politics.
Women do not go into politics FOR
the glory they will get" she says, "but
for the good they can accomplish"
