William G. Schlecht, former Silver

years in the state prison at Waupun,
following his conviction of charges Of

had the supreme sorrow come into his
life behind prison walls as messages
from Chicago today announced that his
wife, Ada Lillian Schlecht, who stood
by him in all his troubles had been
called by death. Mrs. Schlecht died
in a hospital in Chicago on Sunday
evening but only a few of the near
personal friends of the family at Sill
verlake had been advised of her death
today and details of her death are
lacking.
Mrs Schlecht had gone to Chicago to
make her home following the troubles
of her husband and she had gone to
the hospital to undergo an operation
Surgeons who prepared to operate
found her condition such as to make
an operation impossible and she died

No Details of Funeral.
Word has not reached Kenosha re-
garding the plans for the funeral serv-
ices of Mrs. Schlecht. 1t is known that
efforts are being made to have the
husband released under guard in order
that he may attend the funeral of his
wife. Because Of the fact that these
services will be held in the state of
Illinois, it is possible that prison Off
Gals cannot allow him to leave the
institution to cross the state line.
Mrs. Schlecht's condition became
critical so quickly that time was not
given to secure a release of her hus-
band from prison to reach her bedside
before the final summons came.
Mrs Schlecht is survived by her hus-
band and relatives in Chicago; there
are no children.

DISARMING TREATY
RATIFIED BY FRANCE
Deputies Finally Accepted Cap
ital Ships Pact BY 460
to 100 Vote

Paris.-That part of the Washing
ton naval accords dealing with limi-
tations of armaments and capital
ships, which created the most bitter
opposition in French parliamentary
and political circles during the past
year. was jammed through the French
Chamber Of Deputies in record time
by the Poincare- BRAND alliance. The
half-hearted opposition from the So
cialists and Communists was swamped
completely and the treaty was adopt
ed, 460 votes to 106
The arguments employed by Pre-
mier Poincare and Former Premier
BRAND were that France had been
treated with the utmost fairness at
Washington, that limitation of arma-
ments was temporary so far as CAPT
tai ships, were concerned, that there
was complete liberty of action by
France in the building of light cruis-
ers, torpedo boats, destroyers and
submarines, and that as Frances fleet
was essentially a defensive one the
country did not need battleships,
which were offensive weapons.
I'VE responded to President Hard
ing's invitation in the spirit with
which 1T was extended; our sacrifices
were not heavier than those of the
other nations participating in the con-
ference"
This was the reply of BRAND when
he was accused by the communists of
having Surrendered the interests of
France"
Premier Poincare and BRAND had
the chamber so well in hand that at
no time did it look as though the
necessity might arise of making it
question of confidence, a favorable
vote being assured as soon as NJ. Guer-
nier, reporter for the foreign affairs
commission, abandoned the reserva-
tions contained in his report
After the vote the feeling was free
ly expressed by many deputies in the
lobbies that this is not moment to
haggle over details with the United
States"

TWO MORE TOWNS
SEIZED BY FRENCH
Barmen, Industrial Central of
100000, Taken-Eberfeld
Also Held BY Invaders
BALDWIN is GIVEN SUPPORT
Premier Backed by British in His
Attitude Toward Reparations
Question - Seizure of City
Is Blow to Germany.

Berlin, Germany.-Just as Ger.
many was trying to figure out the
advantage to this country forecast
in the statement of British policy
outlined by Premier Baldwin, news
was received here that French
troops had advanced in Westphalia
and occupied Barmen.
This city, an important industrial
center of nearly 100000 inhabitants,
is one of the most important in the
Rhineland, and its seizure is a blow
to Germany. 1t has been hoped that
France would desist from further ad-
vances in view of the British state
ment.
French troops also were reported
to be marching toward Elberfeld.
Later it was announced Elberfeld
had been occupied.
Barmen and Elberfeld later were
evacuated, with announcement that
the occupation was merely a punitive
measure against civilian German DO
lice of those cities.
London, Acknowledgement apprcv-
al but noticeable lack of enthusi-
asm marks the reaction to Premier
Stanley Baldwin's statement of the
British reparations policy
Approval comes from the fact
that England has at last made q
move. rhe lack of enthusiasm IS
due to the uncertainty as to what
the move constitutes.
Dissatisfaction is expressed in two
quarters: LORD Rothmere's papers
express displeasure that the premier
did not castigate Germany The Lib.
eral press is displeased because it
sees in the statement only the con-
tinued dragging out of negotiations
with France.
Foreign office experts, it is learn
ed, have already partly completed
the draft of the British note to Ger
many that will be submitted to the
allied nations for approval
The note will also suggest a revi-
sion of the guarantee submitted by
Germany in her last reparations
note, and will suggest an end Of
passive resistance.
This will make it possible for
France to join the negotiations with
out loss of dignity, as Premier POin-
care has repeatedly said he woulA
not discuss reparations with Ger
many until passive resistance on the
Ruhr was abandoned
Thus the negotiations would result
quickly, if France joins with Eng
land in the lifting of the restrictions
in the occupied area and remove the
cause of chaos in Germany which
Premier Baldwin complained of in
his statement.
1t is also expected that the British
note will suggest an international
economic conference, whose function
it would probably be to discuss the
interallied debts, which Baldwin
says is one of the causes of unrest
in Europe.
