EXTEND CAMERAS EYE
Known That Lens Can Sometimes
 Detect Objects Which Cannot Be
 Seen With the Naked Eye.

Washington, Dec 2O.-1t is gen- orally known that a properly man- lpulatcd camera can bring out ob- iects and aspects that defy detec- ton by the naked eye. That power of the camera is being great ly extended by experimental work now undertaken jointly by the bureau Of standards and the war de- partments section of aviation.
 Some of tho results are considered military secrets, but 1t is more than possible that in the next war smoke screens are not likely to be complete protection for advancing troops or moving vessels at sea. The cameras eye can be given some un- canny powers ot piercing obscurity Of that kind.
 Already the experimental cam- cras can give very good results in taking pictures of objects concealed by the water vapor which con- stitutes natural fog and cloud bank. It is likely that the powers, now barely developed, can be carried . good deal further. Dr. c. K. Bur gess. director of the bureau. believes the secret of the increased visibility flor the cemcra--lies largely in the photographic emulsions which con- troI the character of the sensitive plate and its development. Some of the discoveries in connection with the research probably will be made public, though there are details which military archives will likely treasure for q long time.

FLAMES NUSSOLINI
 FOR ALL TROUBLE
Italian Press Comments on
 R0SSi'S Memorandum

Rome. Dec. 29.-The entire Ital- gH press still continues it's com- lnts on the memorandum issued hy Cesare Ross, fromer head of le Fascist Press Bureau who is in ,orison charged with being one of ao instigatop of Kidnapping and :jIng Of deputy Mattcotti. The morandum places the odium of
 $ Of violence against numerous ."putics and others on Premier Mus r!ini.
 The Messaggero declares that the .2rtnorandum renders bad service
 Rossi himself who, since he wrote ,' in his cell, may have had time 10 Dimly>consider his action and may " jsh to retract several ot his accu- 1tiOns and insinuations against the bead of the government.
 Screno urges Premier Mussoloni ,9 come out with a lucid statement ,.raring up the situation and tram utilizing the public conscience, which, under the nightmare of tre- menlous suspicion, has arisen from the RoSsi memorandum"
 The Giornale DItalia demands Mussolinis resignation, declaring that it is impossible for Italy to be governed by man whose mentality "is four centuries behind, as Mus soini can only be compared to a lord of the sixteenth century,"
 Italy cannot be governed by q man who is implicated in a criminal trial" this newspaper continued. Nc government h Italy was ever at tackled with such grace accusations. J
 The paper concludes its comment by stating that any delay on the part of the premier to leave power is likely 10 cause the projected cleo tions to lead to grave consequences "as his magic power is fnshed."

FRENCH DEBT IS
 TOPIC OF TALK
Subject Likely to Come Up in
 House or Senate
-.-- =---s-z=

1 Washington, Dec, 29.-~Although 10 outward appearances the discussions over funding Of the French was debt haVc reached slalcmatc, tn" question of u possible solution rc- tains prominent place in the mind of official and diplomatic Wash ington.
 There Is intense interest in some phaseslo Of the subject in congress, as well as in administration quarters. and it is possible that ad iscussion Of thep resent situation may soon crop out on the floor Of the senate and huse.
 Eliot Walsworth, assistant sccrc- tary of the treasury and secretary of the debt funding commission, I conferred at some length today with Secretary Hughes, himself a mem Der of the debt commission. No statement was authorized as to the subject or nature of the discussion.
 It can be said definitely, however, that the Washington government has had no official intimation, direct or indirect that the French govern ment is disposed to alter its prcNi- ous attitude in regard to its war and postwar debts 10 the United States.
 For this reason administration of ncials are not inclined to see any hint Of debt rcpudiation in the &C., ton of the French finance minister, who made public recently Q French governmental balance sheet that failed to include any mention of the money that government owes the United States.
 On the contrary, the whole course of the French government so far as
 it's official communications with the Washington government are con- cerncd has been in recognition not only of the legality of the debt but of its equity.
 Both governments have taken the position that failure 10 reach an ultimate adjustment which fully rec 0gnizcs the integrity of these obliga- tons would strike serious blow at the whole fabric of international credits, and it assumed by admin istration officials here that the debt question with France will be worked out in time in the same friendly spirit that marked the arrangement made as to British war debts.
 French embassy officials and mem bcrs of the special French commits sion which visited Washington some time ago to talk over debt matters ; stated repeatedly the intention of their government to pay.
 The American attitude on the , other hand, has been stated so often } by the president and by congress that no interested government can be ' in doubtF as to what it is. It is therefore regarded extremely unlike ly that the French government = would disclose radical change o' : policy as to debts in any such infor' nal way as by publication of bal. ance sheet.
 . Not all Of the French debt was ; war debt, strictly speaking. A blIlior dolars of tho totals was advanced
 after the armistico. It also is pointed out that arrangements were accepted by the French government under which American army purchases in France aegrcgating more than $400,- . ou0,0o0 were charged off against the French debt total. That acceptance . in itself constituted recognition of the debt, and there can be no qucs- ton that the Washington adminis- ration confidently expects an ulti- . mate settlement.

POLICE FIND CITY LIKE SAHARA OVER WEEKEND
No Arrests for DrunkcnnCSs-I5c- . lieved to Be New Record
 Gamblers Taken In

Drunkenness in tho city over the weekend proved 10 be a negative quantity, not a single arrest on this charge being made by the police. A similar occurrence could not be re- called by local court officials. Whether the city is in inc midst of drought or if the drinking inhahi- tants were saving their thirsts for New Years Eve celebrations could not be definitely established.
 The only men haIad before Judge William C. Hungcrford this morning were gathered into the police net during a raid on a coffee house at 32l4 Lafayette street yesterday af- ternOon. The raid was made after complaint was received at police headquarters that a card game was in progress at the place.
 Detective Sergeant William P. Me Cue, accompanied by Policemen Patrick J. O'Mara and Thomas J, Feeney, went to the coffee house and round clght men gathered around q table. A pack of cards and a $5 bill were seized by the police and the eight men arrested. Y. Mel karian was charged with maintain ing q gambling house. but he told rhe court that he worked in the place as a chef and had nothing 10 do with the operation of it. lIo admitted that he was gambling and was fined $5,
 George Bogus, who had been ar- rested previously on the same charge, was fined $l5, and Toros krikorian, Isaac Taradarian, Joseph Harry and Leo Kambiuu were each fined $5. Leo Kambian and George Hartecn were discharged when they satisfied the court that they were not involved in the game.
