PARIS, Oct. 16.-The last
staiwart companion of the
United States in the latter's
standpat position against rec
ognition of soviet Russia Is
shifting her position. Recogni-
ton of the soviet by France
may occur at any moment. It
is rumored in some well-ln-
formed quarters that absolute,
de lure, recognition of the
Moscow government will be
announced by France follow
ing a meeting of the cabinet
Friday.
Recognition of the soviet
was one of the campaign
promises of the socialist pre-
naier, Herriot, before the cleo
tion that elevated him from
his office as mayor of Lyons
to the uuai d'orsay.
Premier Herriot, Thursday received
the report Of a commission which had
been seeking the proper procedure and
form of recognition. The announcement
that the cabinet would meet Friday was
interpreted to mean that recognition
might be immediate.
France would be the last of the great
old world powers to recognize the
soviet OF the other, Japan and the
United States have not recognized Rus
STA. but NEGOTIATIONS now are pro-
gressing between Toxic and Moscow. .
The impression Cleaned among Of
ficiaIs here is that French recognition
would be absolute although it is under
stood the government intends to make
If plain TO Moscow that recognition
shall not prejudice the millions OF
francs of debts which the government
of the Gar owed to French investors
at the time of the overthrow OF the
Romanoffs Questions such as those
of debts would be settled by Accredited
representatives of the two governments
following the resumption of relations,
according to the present plan.
Another meeting OF the commission
which has been examining the matter OF
recognition is scheduled for Tuesday
when questions which would arise fol-
lowing recognition viii be discussed.
Announces Change
During the Poincare ycgime France
and the United States were fully agreed
regarding the soviet. When. Herriot
took office this international partner
ship was dissolved. Two months ago
Ambassador Jusserand informed Secre-
tary of State Hughes Of the French de-
cision to change fronts on the Russian
question.
Many thousands Of Frenchmen who
hold Russian bonds of the Czarist
period will force the government to
make strenuous efforts to obtain sat
isfaction for their claims. Although
recognition apparently will come before
the settlement of the debt question.

ARTIST EXPERTS
BARRED AT TRIAL
OF EARL Carroll
Judge Takes Time Out TO
Decide Indecency
Problem
LEASED Wire to Age-Herald)

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-The post
thumous hammer of old Anthony Com
stock came banging down on Earl Car
roll Thursday and knocked clear out of
court the carefully prepared defense OF
the nudity in one of CAROLS shows.
A court ruling which Anthony Sc
cured years ago while engaged in drlv-
ing naughty pictures out of breast
pockets saved the judge who tried the
Broadway lproducers case from being
kidded by experts, and now with the
evidence all in, the court will have to
figure out for himself whether the lobby
pictures that got Carroll into trouble
are "lewd, licentious and indecent" as
charged by the police.
The Judge has given himself four
days to study the ladies figuril.5 in the
three pictures involved and will give
his decision on Tuesday.
Defense Is limited
The only defense Carroll was allowed
to put in was testimony BY a couple OF
artists that they were pictures of girls
in the show and that anyone could see
the same thing inside in the flesh, by
patronizing the box office.
Court time found Carroll and his law
yer, James A. Timony, on deck with
battery of artist-experts, including
Howard Chandler Christy, who were
all set to testify that the nudity in
voIved was pure art.
Over with the district attorney was
John S. Sumner, ever-active head of
the Society for the Prevention of Vice
and successor to the late lamented An
thony. The witnesses for law, order
and virtue were the two coppers who
went to look at the show and the pic
lures and then arrested Carroll.
''Yessir, they were right out in front
just like you see 'em now, and they
were lewd, hcentious and indecent as
charged. They're bad enough to cor
rupt the morals of Anthony-let alone
little children"
Permitted To Speak
That was the burden of the song of
the two brass-buttoned gentlemen. The
attempt to introduce Christy and his
fellow experts followed. The prosecu-
ton then produced the ruling that had
been given to old Anthony providing
that art experts should not be per-
mitted to decide whether evidence
against the defendant was art or just
plain indecency, and the court upheld
the ruling The witnesses for Carroll
were allowed to say merely that the
paintings were artistic" and true to
life.
Timony then offered motion that
the case be dismissed, but the court
took its time Its decision Tuesday is
expected to determine whether Sumner
shall be allowed to swarm down Broad
way for a general Cleanup" of nearly
every show now operating on the towns
main stem.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-The IRIS
was declared today by Secretary Will
bur, speaking in behalf of the navy,
to be a Symbol of peace and friend
ship between her builders, her owners
and other nations" To further define
her role, he said, the ship would be
rechristened Los Angeles" when the
government formally takes possession.
Mr.. Wilbur's announcement was made
in the course of speech at luncheon
to DIR. Hugo Eckener, head of the Ger
man Zeppelin company, and several ex-
ecutive officers of the air cruiser dur
ing their visit today to Washington.
The party was received by President
Coolidge, who reiterated the congratu-
lations he had telegraphed on the ar
rival of the ZR-3 at Lakehurst, and
after a conference of the national ad-
visory counsel for aeronautics, returned
to Lakehurst to resume supervision OF
activities at the field.

The visit of the ZR-3 was of great
the secretary said, assur-
ing the German officials that the flag
which would replace theirs on the ships
forepeak would be that of a nation
honestly desiring the prosperity and
happiness of all the German people"
Later, addressing the advisory coun-
Gil DIR. Eckener predicted the certain
of trans-oceanic transpor-
tation along the lines pioneered by the
ZR-3. In answer to questions he said
that type of ship was the logical car
rier for the new trade because of the
measure of comfort afforded, its safety
in all weather and the ease of improve
ments along necessary lines. He ex-
pressed the opinion, however. that ex-

AIR TRESPASSER
FREED BY COURT
German Radio Fan Sued For
Aerial In Neighbours Ether

BERLIN, Oct, 16.-German juris-
prudence is evidently gfaYorably dis
posed toward the radio fan. A seeker
after long distance reception recently
attached wire from the roof of his
house to the top of nearby chimney,
trespassing on the air space above an
other neighbor's property, and the latter
promptly sued.
In deciding the case the judge ac-
knowledged the legal right of the plain
tiff to the air space above his prop
erty, but decreed that no infringement
resulted from stretching single wire
across it at such distance from the
ground.
