LEGION ASSISTS
FRENCH POLICE
Famed Attitude of Foreign
Band Toward Civilian Au-
thorities Undergoes Change.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
IDI-BEL-ABBES, Algeria, Novem-
Der BY surrendering murderer to
the civilian police to stand trial for a
crime committed previous to his en-
listment, the French Foreign Legion
has caused earnest confabs in the bar
racks here and the places frequented
by the legionnaires.
For years the idea has been generally
accepted that no matter what crime a
man was accused of in civil life he was
safe from prosecution so long as he
remained in the Foreign Legion.
Civilian detectives have long COM
planned that when they called at head
quarters evaSive answers were received
concerning alleged criminals whom they
sought. Or, by strange condolences, 1t
appeared that these men had been de-
tailed for service in the lower Sahara or
on the fringe of the Hoggar, where the
hand of the law, lengthy as 1t is reputed
to be, was too short to reach.
"A man is known in the legion by
the name under which he enlisted and
that alone" the correspondent was once
told at headquarters here. His former
private life does not concern us and
we are not concerned with it."
Doty Case Is Recalled.
This confidence was volunteered at
the time of the release of the Ameri-
can, Bennett j. Doty of Biloxi Miss.
The case had filled the newspapers
of both hemispheres for several weeks
and the Paris papers for days had
reached Sidi- Bel-AbbeS with long &C
counts of how, owing to the representa-
lions of the visiting American Legion
to France-that was in 1927-Benaett
J. Doty. sentenced to eight years in
prison for desertion, would be released.
Yet the correspondent had noted on
the desk of Col. Rollet, commander OF
the legion, a stack of kilograms adj
dressed to Bennett j. Doty and which
had remained undelivered.
I'VE don't know any Bentlett j. Doty
here" the colonel volunteered. I'VE
know one Gilbert Clare of Memphis,
Tenn. but don't suppose you are IN
terested in him"
Glare was the name under which
Doty had enlisted and been sentenced,
Recently two Paris detectives arrived
at Sidi- Bel-Abbes and told the colonel:
eve have a warrant here for CASTOR
Froissart, who killed his grandmother
with an ak in 1926, robbed her and
then enlisted in the legion as Rene
Bernard.
prove to me that Bernard and Frois-
sart are the same man." the colonel
asked.
Bernard was sent for, Bertillon meas
urements were produced establishing
the identity of the man as Froissart
without the shadow of a doubt.
"You can have him." said the colonel.
Froissart is on his way to Paris 70
20 before the assizes and many OF his
former companions in, the legion are
wondering whether this means radi-
cal change in the policy which they
had always believed ruled in the deal
ings of the legion authorities with the
plain clothes police.
one corporal then summed up the
situation:
"It served him right for killing his
grandmother with an ak and robbing
her. Perhaps If it had been a real
stand-up murder between men. it would
have made difference"

ATHLETICS MANIA
BLAMED ON PUBLIC
Michigan University President
Asks for "Saner Attitude" on
Part of Alumni.
NJ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
ANN ARBOR, Mich, November B.
A plea for 'saner attitude" by alumni
and the public toward intercollegiate
athletics is contained in the University
of Michigan reply to the recent report
of the Carnegie Foundation, IN which
American colleges were censored Tor
substituting athletics. The reply was
made public yesterday by DR.. Alexander
@. Ruthven, president of the university.
There is no justice in refusing TO
admit an athlete to the university just
because he is an athlete, nor, once he
has been admitted, in denying him aid
in his studies and personal problems
afforded other students, DR.. Ruthven
said.
1.-THE cure for the present ills is not
mere rules, but education OF the alumni
and public generally in saner attitude
toward intercollegiate athletics" the re-
port said. Present day athletics arc
not the creation of college presidents
and college faculties, but the Univer-
sity of Michigan is not disposed to
dodge any responsibility in connection
with athletics which 1t can be expected
to assume"
: The public, more than any other
factor, Is responsible for the form OF
athletics at the present time, the report
said, and for this reason it is not pos
sible for the university to deal immedt-
ately with the public attitude.

crease in the future, unless adequate
measures are taken to forestall 1t. This
anticipated increase is due in part TO
the commissioning of new vessels, but
in large part to the growing demand of

With the graduation of the 1928

shortage, plus the normal Wastage dur
ing the course of the year. and 1t will
not be until 1880, or possibly 1881,
that the line of the Navy will again
reach it's present allowed maximum.
The act of August 90. 1916, fixed the
ratio of officers to enlisted men at 4
per cent but due to the advent of
new auxiliary weapons each requiring
the services of large and constantly
increasing number Of officers, it has
been repeatedly recommended that the
ratio of line officers to enlisted men
should be increased to 6 per cent.
that the full disappointment basis
at the Naval Academy as authorized
by law but at present limited to four
by appropriations, be resumed. Such
resumption would not be effective until
1884 in the output of graduates and
from that time thereon should supply

the number resulting from the four
