French Militarism Frees
French Officer Slayer
and Convicts Victims

BERLTN.-An example of such ex-
cesses of militarism as even the old
kaiser's army could not match has
recently come up in case OF a
French officer in the army of occu-
patton who was acquitted by French
court martial after he had shot one
German citizen and wounded another.
The German who was so unfortunate
as to escape death as we'll as other
Germans concerned in the case re-
ceived sentences of two years impris-
onment.
The greatest Indignation is express
ed in the German press which seems
TO forget the unsavory details of Ger
man militarism, old and new. The
German ambassador to Paris has also
made representations on this head.
Among the working class, French and
German, sentiment is being aroused
for the evacuation of all German ter
ritory occupied by French armies.

GUN ELEVATION
ON U. S. SHIPS
BRINGS PROTEST
Violation of Treaty Is
Charged

LONDON, Jan. 9. - The old con-
troversy over gun elevations has been
revived here by reports of an Amer
lean congressional resolution to in
crease the elevation of guns on old
United States warships.
Violates Treaty.
The admiralty apparently is un.
concerned but the foreign Office is pre-
pared to protest that such step
would be a violation of the entire
spirit Of the Washington treaty.
One admiralty official pointed out
that, from the practical viewpoint OF
the most modern school Of gunnery
experts, the limit Of accuracy OF big
gun fire had already been reached
before the Washington conference and
added range would only mean a fur
Their loss of accuracy.
Diplomats Worry.
The diplomats, however, while ad
hitting that the question has not vel
assumed practical importance, insist
that any alteration Of the American
elevation would be a distinct contra
vention Of the Washington treaty.

"Czarism tried to assimiIate the
