NEW |TALO-GERMAN
TREATY IS SIGNED
Contains No Political Clauses
and Will Be Registered With
League, Says Berlin.
By the Associated Press.

BERLIN, December 29.-The new
ly-drawn italian German treaty of
Cancellation and arbitration, signed in
Rome today, contains no political
clauses and conforms strictly with the
spirit OF the League Of Nations with
which 1t win be registered shortly, a
spokesman for the German foreign
Office said today.
The treaty provides for arbitration
and the amicable adjustment Of virtu-
ally all classes Of disputes which may
arise between Germany and Italy and
follows closely the pattern for such
treaties; already negotiated by Ger
many with eight nations.
b It differs from pre.war treaties in
that 1t combines both arbitration and
amicabie adjustment features, thereby
embracing both juridical and non.juri-
dical cases under dispute. This double
feature was first worked out by
Friedrich Gaus. counselor of the Ger
man foreign Office, and Max Huber of
Switzerland, now president of the
Permanent Court Of International
Justice at The Hague The formula
was adopted when the German-Swiss
treaty was negotiated and has been
found to- work so well in practice
that it now forms part of Germany's s
regular treaty system. @
The foreign Office spokesman this
afternoon said that the treaty does
not contain any provision calculated
to mar relations with a third power
1t is understood that the German for
eign Office was so anxious to avoid
even the semblance of an anti-third
power attitude that Foreign Minister
Stresemann automatically sidestepped
Premier Mussolini's urgent invitation
to him to come to Rome in order to
sign the treaty personally. embracing
the German political crisis caused by
the overthrow OF the Marx cabinet,
coupled with the recent Germersheim
affair, as a welcome excuse not to
visit Italy just now.
While the treaty does not contain
clauses whereby the signatories agree
to respect each others frontiers, It
was pointed out that there was no
occasion for such clauses, since Italy
and Germany are not contiguous.
1.-THE treaty forms a solid, friendly
basis for future amicable relations, +"
the forei gn Office spokesman said.

Worst Flood in History of
City Forecast--ReIief
Funds Are Sought.
By the Associated Press.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, December %.
The most disastrous flood in the his
tory of Nashville was predicted today
by the local weather bureau. The
Cumberland River, now at a 54.5-foot
stage, and already spread out over a
large portion of the lower part of
town, is expected to reach 55.5 or Sc
feet, breaking all records. The water
is rising a tenth of a foot an hour.
With this warning from the wealth
er bureau efforts were begun to gather
additional relief workers to move fam
lilies from threatened area
Four thousand persons have been
made homeless in Nashville since the
food started last Saturday, and the
additional rise would drive out thou
sands more. Emergency appeals for
relief funds We're begun last night,
when 5000 was requested to provide
food and provisions for the needy.
The Davidson County Board OF
Charities, distributing money. food
and clothing to the needy, was great.

tions of secondhand clothing of any
description whatsoever.
This rise would probably sever all

only one or the three high river
bridges was open to traffic today.

road bridge. north, might also be
affected by the highwaters.
The previous record stage here was
$50 feet in. 1882. The crest of the
present rise is expected Friday or
Saturday, as the Cumberland con-
tinued to rise today after general
rains Monday and Tuesday in the
upper stretches of the river. Gloomy,
wintry weather, today, however, had
followed the rains, which generally
ceased late yesterday.
About two freight car loads of

WHEELER CHARGES
DRY AGENTS PLOT
Conspiracy to Advance Wet
Propaganda Alleged in
Talk to President.

President Coolidge today was told
by Wayne B. Wheeler. general counsel
of the Anti-Saloon League Of America,
that he is convinced of the existence
among certain prohibition enforcement
agents of conspiracy to advance wet
propaganda.
Mr.. Wheeler called to the attention
of the President "the harm done to
enforcement by prohibition agents and
other Federal officials hostile to pro-
hibition or incompetent" who, he
claims, remain in the service for a
tiae only. to- resign and become propa,
gandists for the opponents OF prohi
bition by claiming that prohibition is
a failure and cannot be enforced and
that modification is the remedy.
Mr.. Wheelers expressed himself as
being favorable to the proposal to dis
continue the use of poisons in dena-
tured alcohol for commercial use. but
he doubts very much if some of the
suggested adulterants will successful
ly answer the purpose. He said that
when an individual deliberately breaks
the law of the land he puts himself
in the position of one who is deliber-
ately attempting suicide.
Raps Resigned Official.
While discussing the alleged injury
done to enforcement by agents and
Federal officials, Mr.. Wheeler called
attention to the activities Of Nathan
iel Harden. who has just resigned as
an assistant United States attorney
in New York. He said that Mr.. Har-
ben is the latest of the leaders of the
H., L.
detriment of enforcement.
eff. as he claims, there are $4,000
places where liquor is sold in New
York" Mr.. Wheeler said, then his
department is dismal failure and the
whole group should resign
Mr.. Wheeler made the claim that
an honest effort on the part of COM
petent officials soon would change
such condition as is claimed by Mr.
Harden. Mr.. Wheeler said the scheme
of the ''derelict" officials or agents ap-
pears to have for it's purpose the fur
thering OF beer and wine propa anda.
Pledges Enforcement Support.
'I called to pledge to the Presi-
dent, Mr.. Wheeler said after his ali-
dience, "redoubled support during
1927 of the friends of the eighteenth
arnehOfnent In every EFFORT made by
the administration to secure better
enforcement and the passage of neces-
sary enforcement legisla ton, includ-
ing the reorganization bill and the
civil service bill and such other adj
ministration measures as have been
requested. The election Of dry legis-
iators and law enforcement governors
in practically all of the States where
such elections were held last Novera-
ber indicates a wholesome trend in
the States to accept their share for
responsibility for law enforcement"
Mr.. Wheeler stated that the great
est number of liquor violations are in
the East, more especially in New York
and Baltimore. He said that the CON
ditiOn Of the courts of the District of
Columbia regarding the handling of
prohibition violations has improved in
the past year.
