Not Too Far, Though

Great Britain, however, will not go so far as to associate herself with any demand by the allies for the expulsion of the kaiser's heir, as the government believes it would be futile to make such request at this juncture.
 Lord Crewe will also say that the London government is ready to renew its demand, in cooperation with the allies, that Germany shall grant great CT security to the interallied commits sion of control and that there be stricter observance of the disarma- ment clauses of the peace treaty, but will also point out the difficulties the Stresemann cabinet, in the present state of disruption in Germany, would have in meeting all of Frances de- mands in this respect. The British view, as has been previously set forth, is that neither the Stresemann cab inet nor any other German govern ment could undertake to give the re- quired guarantee for the protection of French officials and soldiers, in view of the fact that large part of Ger many is out Of the control of the Ber- lin authorities, the feeling being that the German government might be un- able to prevent the distracted popula- ton from taking things into it's own hands

The other eight were kept in state Of absolute idle. ness, there being no inside work for them to do except for brief short time--possibly a half hour in the morning when they swept the floors of the Jail
 Mir. Kellogg said that the men did nothing during the day but play cards. They had no other means of employing their time. or occupying their minds MT. Kellogg could not see anything in that system conducive to tho improvement of the character of the prisoners or the cultivation of habits of industry that might be help fui to them when they were restored to liberty. He said the system has been in existence a long time and it was allowed to continue. He did not sec how it could be reformatory in its influence and he deplored if.

 W BUREAU INVESTIGATION
SPELLACY ARGUING IN
 SCHLEIFER'S DEFENSE
Long Drawn Out New Haven Trial Is Nearing
 Final Stage

New Haven, Nov. 15.--Arguments were begun this noon in the case of Ernest Schleifer, labor organizer who has been on trial many days on charges of melting striking railway shopmen to do violence. It was ex- pected the jury would have the case late in the day. Just before recess T. J. Spellacy for the defense charged that a card showing that Schleifer was a member of the Baptist church was taken from him at the time of arrest in order that the authorities might support their claim that the defendant did not believe in God"
 Assistant States Attorney Pickett in his argument said that the state was not trying out the methods of a strike but of the defendant and the issue was:
 Did Ernest Schleiter say in a pub lie speech the things he is said to have said, and did he have the in- terest of leading his listeners on to murder, assault and disorder, which is, in the last analysis, an assault upon the sovereignty of the state ?'
 Mir. Spellacy in his argument de- clared that only one impartial witness was offered by the state and she, Mrs. Bessie McNally, who heard the speech in question found nothing in the words of the defendant to move the charge of the state.
 Both MT. Spellacy and Mir. Slade, who followed, made pleas that the jury do justice to the defendant, the latter saying:
 The railroad knows that the time has come when professional witnesses cannot go and get evidence that will convince a jury"
 States Attorney filling closed the arguments when court resumed this afternoon
 Before the arguments Judge Jen- nings denied a motion that he direct the jury to return verdict of not guilty and another motion to require the state 10 turn over personal prop erty Of schleifer's. On this latter the court did not believe the states at. torney would refuse the defense use Of it if necessary.

Issues Statement

New York, Nov. 15.-William G. McAdoO. secretary of the treasury in President Wilson's cabinet. is con vinced that the federal government can both reduce federal taxation and provide soldiers compensation, equiv alent to bonus, he declares in a statement made jublic today.
 The statement, which was made at the telegraphic request of the Literary Digest, in which it will be published next week, added that the bonus questions should long ago have been taken out Of politics and in no cir eumstances should be used for po- litical advantage"
 Isc,iuction and Bonus Too.
 "Wc can have tax reduction and do Justice to tho American soldier as well" Mir. McAdoo says, "by treating adjusted compensation as part of the war cost and funding il through an issue of 30 year bonds. The in- terest and sinking fund charge should not exceed eighty to ninety million dollars per annum. This would not prevent reduction in taxes
 "rhe men who served in the trenches got stl0 per day: those in the reseryeH in America got si per day. If the American people believe that il was worth ss.35 per day to serve in the trenches and s2.oo per aas to serve in the reserves in America. then tho difference between thcs rates and what the soldiers have already received should be paid as an art of iustirn
 "Ne gave more than 5oo,000 civil employees of the government during the war bonus of s2io per annum and this has continued for more than five years. Is it less right 10 give the men who fought the war equal con alteration? . Justice must never be measured in dollars: it must be measured only in righteousness and humanity"
 The statement was given in answer to request for Mir. McAdoo's opinion of Secretary Melons recent statement on Inc soldier bonus and tax reduc. ton
