 Cah1o Ed1aog, Tho Aaaociated Press
 The rsparations and war debts problem of Europe aud the question of naval disarmament. hitherto treated by interested governments as separate subjects. bsca me fused re- gently when stanley Baldwin, prime minister of England. coupled dis cusion of the Franco British naval accord with . declaration that Great Britain had entered into no deal with France that would sndanyer her re- lations with Germany. Italy or the United states.
 German circles. ever alert for such openings In the international game were quick to seize upon this point and the coincidence that 1t cane up just as the heirs of the kaiser's war policy were about to ask the powers to submit the reparations question to . commission of experts. as had been agreed at Geneva in September.
 Tho prime minister's speech fol- lowed others of . similar tenor by members of his cabinet. Winston Churchill. chancellor of the exchequer. told an audience st Chingford that Great Britain would be glad to accept an invitation to a reparations conference and would do all it could to forward any reason able agreement. He said once more, however. that the British treasury must have from continental Europe in the way of war debt payments. an amount equal to that which she must pay to the United States.
 Lord Cushsndun. acting foreign minister. made another revelation respecting the much discussed naval accord. He said that Great Britain had propossd to France abolition of all submarines and had accepted the latters plan for limitation of large submersibles on the proverbial ground that half loat was better than none. He denounced critics of the agreement who saw in 1t slap at the United States by asking:

lations all around if friendliness to tility to another?"
 These speeches followed the chorus of criticism that broke out afresh in England after the long de. layed publication of the oficial text of the accord. The white papers, issued simultaneously in London and Paris revealed that there was a bar gain outside the naval question be- fore tho two governments reached the agreement on sea armaments.
 Great Britain said she would adopt the French idea that trained army reserves should not be counted when tho question of land arma- ments comes up. and in return France came to the British idea of limiting all war vessels of more than 900 tons and all ships under that tonnage which carry guns of more than six inch caliber.
 Italy may have had some ''inside information" as to this when she iSSPouuSu lO thO dS(oiu Nou municaticn. for she then said that the discussion should take in land and air as we'll as sea forces. Musso- lini expressed . willingness to limit Italy's total armament to any agree able figure. Provided it dit not place his country in lower category than any other continental power. Italy was also agreeable to a similar basis for total naval tonnage.
 The practical effects of such pro. visions. it was pointed out. would be to cut down the French army to the size of Italy's and to give the lattel preponderant naval forces in the Mediterranean. This latter would be true because Italy's home and co, lonial ports are on that sea where, as England and France. with highlS important interests there, must als< patrol worldwide routes to far-fluul ! possessions,

Of their guns.
Suddenly there rang out the fearful
war-whoop Of the Onondaga, accom-
panied by the crack Of bis rifle. There

the alarm to those who were In puf-

pierced 1t, and the man went down
with a gurgling attempt to sound bis
