dure. and with a keen love for ad-
venture he enlisted in the famous
French Foreign Legion under the
name of Private Gilbert Clare"
In desert warfare against 5000 Mo-
hammedans. he conducted himself
SO bravely that he won the Croix

in war his courage was note
worthy. In peace, the discipline and
monotony of the Legion broke him
and with three companions he de-
serted. Recaptured anr court

tence was changed to imprisonment
for eight years. But the French,
remembering his extreme bravery in

BOOTH MAY renew
BATTLE IN-C0URTS
Daughter Says Legal Sdt' Of
Contest Is Not Ended

London, Feb. S lP-Indications
were seen today that General Bran
we'll Booth. commander-in-chie OF
the Salvation Army. would carry hI
quarrel with the Army's high coun-
Gil to the courts again if the council
renew its efforts to depose him.
A statement by his daughter.
Catherine Booth, that 1.-THE legal
side of this situation has not ended
was 70 interpreted by observers OF
the Army's controversy. Miss Boot h
was said by her secretary, Ensign
Jackson, to have been warned by her
solicitors not to discuss Army Affairs
inasmuch as further litigation might
develop.
Az it now stands such further liti-
cation seemingly would arise only
in the event that after the high
council has heard either General
Booth or representative it would
vote once more to depose him.
The first deposition vote was in
validated by the Chancery courts
because General Booth had not been
given an opportunity to be heard. 1t
was believed that in fighting q sec
-ond deposition order the Booth So
licitors would attack the 1904 decd
poll under which the high council
has been operating.
Fr0wn ON Davidson
Meanwhile the offer. of Lord
Davidson. former archbishop OF
Canterbury. to mediate the differ
ences between the Army high coun-
ell and General Booth. seemed fated
to rejection. The offer was dis
cussed at an informal session of the
high council yesterday. but no an
nouncement was made as to the re-
suit Of the deliberations, nor was
there a statement from the Booth
home. at Hadlcy Wood as to the
feeling there.
Observers OF the Army controver-
sy feel there is an in inclination to
regard the affair as purely domes-
tic conflict requiring internal settle
ment.
Although, the high council has
notified General Booth that it is pre-
pared to receive his representative
at its session on Friday for reopen
ing of the adjudication proceedings.
there seemed little probability that
the case would be definitely taken
up at that time.

bers of his family met in London

that the generals case be completely

the general will appear personally

French war supplies debt to the
United States have been initiated by
Ambassador Claudel under instruc-

Although congress voted, shortly
before it recessed, to permit a post
ponement, the understanding was
that such action would be conditioned
upon French ratification in the
meantime Of the three-year-old Mel
lon-Berenger agreement which pro-
videS for settlement of that and all
other war and postwar obligations Of
France to the United States.
Furthermore, the resolution Is not
IN effect, except as a moral sanction"
for conditional postponement and
Secretary Stimson is at a loss as to
whether the payment could be put
off Internationally without specific
congressional sanction.
In congressional circles ~displeasure
has been aroused by statements at
tributed to Franklin Bouillion, presi-
dent of the foreign affairs committee
of the French assembly. to the effect
that the United States was trying to
force ratification by France of the
