.FOCH NOTE: AGAINST
EVACUATION READ
BRAND Indignant as Secret
Warning Is Revealed to
Chamber of Deputies.
By the Associated press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, December 27.--Secret warn
ing by the late Marshal Foch against
the premature evacuation Of the Rhine
land was revealed in the French Cham
Der of Deputies today and precipitated
parliamentary storm.
Aristide BRAND. foreign minister, ex-
pressed amazement that he had known
nothing of the document.
The marshals warming was made in
note to President Doumergue and
Premier Poincare in october. 1925.
Created Sorry Situation"
M. BRAND reproached M. Rebel,
former undersecretary of state for the
liberated regions, for reading the note.
He said it created "sorry situation"
Marshal Foch's letter said that Ger
many daily was becoming a more popu-
lous and stronger "vanquished nation
which wishes revenge"
Guided by temperament different
from ours, for her might is right" he
wrote. "She remains a redoubtable
neighbor and peace will be maintained
Willy Wy LAAC AlSh SAlC uIlo 1IL AGNCLlHCs
The letter declared that the Rhine
land occupation guaranteed Frances
security, but added that when the
French troops return to their territory
France would find herself in an excep-
tionally grave situation.
The letter continued to explain that
as the French army was being re-
organized and the frontier undefended
the time of the evacuation provided for
in the treaty of Versailles must not be
advanced.
BRAND Is Indignant.
Foreign Minister BRAND, indignant
at the intersection of this secret docu-
ment into the debate, said to M Rebel:
"You wished to defend the memory
OF Foch. He was great soldier. The
minister OF foreign affairs, who was
his chief and with whom he worked
four times a week, knows nothing Of
documents he drafted. He learns it here
when you pull out of your pocket q
document concerning national defense"
The foreign minister added that he did
not know how Rebel obtained the
paper and he didn't know what would
become Of It,
The Foch letter was produced during
hot skirmish between M. Franklin
Bouillon and M. BRAND when the
former said that the Locarno pact had
been signed by BRAND for fear Of a
Russo German alliance, which, he said.
nevertheless, had been accomplished
and had enabled Soviet Russia to crush
CHINA In the Manchurian warfare.
Foreign Minister BRAND then re-
newed demand that franklin Bouillon
overthrow the cabinet If he were dis
satisfied with the recent Hague nego-
tiations.

FARMERS D|SCORD
DLAMEDFORLOS
Chairman Legge Declares
Most OF Trouble Is Within
Organizations.


Chairman Legge of the Farm Board
said today that contending factions
within the farm cooperative groups
gave more opposition than outside in
f1uenceS.
Speaking before the American Farm
Economic Association, Legge said that
lack of concerted action was a major
handicap to the formation and working
OF farm co-operativeS.
In his address he sketched the poll
cieS OF the board, emphasizing its work
with co-operatives in the marketing OF
various types of farm products. Joseph
s. Davis, chief economist of the Farm
Board, was another speaker.
Legge said that by reduction of chap
hazard" shipping the California citrus
growers had advanced the condition of
that industry within a few years from
situation lust as deplorable as any
today to a point where "comfortabl e''
II not "exorbitant" profits were being
made.
Agriculture has not yet learned the
dangers Of overproduc1s11n, he said, ex-
planning that industrial concerns had
analysed the demands for their prod
ucts and reduced output when con-
sumner demand slowed up, while the
farmer was not able to detect this sit
uation.
Davis said there was some danger
that cooperative movements NAV be
swelled by new members and new or
CARNATIONS lacking the spirit of gen
uine co-operatives, to the detriment OF
the tone and temper Of the movement
and the success of particular enter
prises.
THE problem of how to restrain OF
regulate production is one of the most
important that the board will have to
face, either in connection with stabili-
cation efforts or. in connection with a
persisting recurrent tendency to over
production" he asserted.

TWO HELD IN PROBE
OF WARD FATALITY
James A. MCGOWAN and Rob-
ert E. Martz Blamed at
Inquest in Collision.

James A. MCGOWAN, "a years old, of
IS M street, and Robert E. MartZ, 10,
of 1901 N street. were ordered held for
the action of the grand jury this morn
ing by coroner's jury conducting an
inquest at the District Morgue into the

MCGOWAN and Martz were occupants
of a machine which collided at Sixth
and K streets northeast shortly before
4 o'clock yesterday morning with an
automobile in which Ward was return
ing. home from a Christmas night visit
with friends. Ward died instantly from
fractured skull.
Attorney George E. McNeal, who rep
resented MCGOWAN, told the jury that
his client preferred not to make any
statement at the inquest, while, Martz
owner OF the machine, IN which he and
MCGOWAN were driving, also declined to
take the stand.
Driver Of Machine.
The latter, however, said in conversa-
ton while the jury was out, that Nc
Gowan was driving his machine. Martz
was not represented by counsel.
Martz, who was released from Sibley
Hospital this morning after recovering
from decorations, took no part in the
proceedings until offered an opportunt-
ty to testify by Deputy Coroner Joseph
D. Rogers. The left side of Martz's
face was heavily swathed in bandages.
Patrolman Dewey L. Guest of the
ninth precinct told the jury that Nc
Gowan had denied driving the car when
arrested at his apartment nearly an
hour after the accident, but that he
had admitted late yesterday in his cell

ing the automobile which collided with
Wards machine. He refused, however,
to sign a statement to that effect, Guest
testified.
TraiIed to Apartment.
The policeman said he had trailed
MCGOWAN to his apartment by blood
stains on the street leading from the
scene OF the wreck. Guest also said
that MCGOWAN was found in bed, bleed
ing from a minor laceration, which he
told police he had received in a fight
MCGOWAN also admitted to police late
Yesterday, according to Guest, that he
had been cut in the wreck. Guest said
That MCGOWAN told police of the ninth
precinct that he did not see Wards car
until too late to stop, and added that he
lost his head when the machines
crashed and ran from the scene. Nc
Gowan does not have an operators
permit. Guest told the jury.
According to policemen, McGowan's
breath smelled of alcohol when he was
placed under arrest. Patrolman King,
who, with Guest, investigated the crash,
when called to the stand later in the
proceedings, said that a partly filled
bottle of alcohol was found beneath the
seat of Martz' roadster.

Ward dead. said that Ward had been
killed by skull fracture.

COTTON FARMERS
FOR COOPERATION
Concerted Move Pictured at
Conference on Proposed
Corporation.
BY the Associated Press.


A concerted movement of the Ameri-
can cotton farmers toward co-opera-
ton was pictured today by Carl
Williams, Farm Board member repre-
senting cotton, as board members and
representative growers gathered to
confer on the final draft Of a charter
and bylaws for the new $4,000 900 cot
ton corporation.
Williams explained the eagerness OF
non-members to enter the cooperative
field as reaction to the fact that all
the privileges of the independent deal
er to buy and sell are to be enjoyed
by the new corporation. It may buy
a farmers cotton outright and pay him
the cash, thus relieving him of further
market problems. Williams said.
The new organization will direct the
sale Of every members product, and

Dresden, Germany.-A Dresden APP
peal court has upheld man who COM
planned against another for refusing
to give him light on the street. The
specific charge was insult and offense.
!, Like most laws, this law against in
suit and offense has common-sense
background, although it may be abused
by frivolous, or childish, or spiteful
application. The law is designed pri-
marily to curb those persons who are
grossly offensive and rude TO their
neighbors and so are likely to create
breaches Of the peace. A comparable
law was that on the statute books Of
some of the states of the United
States long before prohibition, which
forbade drinking alcoholic liquor on
trains. Experience had proved that
many times train drinkers became
drunk and abusive and a menace to
their fellow passengers.
The great trouble with such laws
as that upheld in Dresden is that they
are often wrongly applied. Any man
asked for light late at night by a
burly stranger in deserted street
might we'll think that the old scheme
Of asking for light preparatory to
pulling robbery of the wayfarer was
about to be tried. Certainly, the aver
