CHAUTEMPS FACES
FIGHT FOR BACKING
Navy Farley and Arms Policy
Likely to Determine Gov
ernment'S Fate.
BY CAMILLE LEMERCIER.

PARIS, France, February 22.-The
new French cabinet headed by the
leader Of the Radical Socialist party,
Camille Chautemps, will have to fight
hard next Tuesday to obtain the right
to live and it is likely that the vital
issue will be the London Naval Con-
ference and the governments disarma-
nent policy.
The Chautemps cabinet is pure Left,
combining all the ministers belonging
10 those Left and Left Center groups
which were represented in the famous
Cartel cabinet of 1924 headed by
Edouard Herriot.
Nearly Equally Divided.
As the Chamber of Deputies is nearly
equally divided between the Right and
the Left parties, with small advantage
for the Right M. Chautemps must win
the full support of all the Left groups,
particularly of the Socialists. headed py
Leon Blum and Paul Boncour, and also
obtain the abstention of at least 20
or 80 members Of those Center groups
which are under Andre Tardieus direct
influence
rs long as only home affairs are con-
cerned, the Socialists will fully support
Chautemps, and, on the other hand,
NJ. Tardieu has decided to play fair
and give the new cabinet its chance.
The situation may grow worse for
Chautemps If, as I am informed, the
Socialists try to obtain from Chautemps
assurance that the French delegation
to the London Conference will not only
follow the general lines of Tardieu's
naval policy, but will take the initiative
for q real disarmament policy"
Tardieu Would Fight Change.
II. Tardieu would Immediately oppose
such q change He would give full ex-
plantations on the London negotiations
and ask the Chamber clearly to state
that the French policy cannot be re-
versed
Thus Chautemps would be in an ex-
tremely difficult position. If he gives
some assurance to the Socialists he
will lose the necessary support of the
center. II unaltered, he will lose the
necessary support of the Socialists. IN
any case, the cabinet will be greatly
ENDANGERED. The fact is that except for
the Socialists the Chamber is nearly
unanimous In backing the attitude OF
the French delegation at London.

Kaiser's Wife Makes
Trip to Homeland

Berlin.-Princess Hermina, wife
Of the ex-kaiser, still enjoys the
freedom of republican Germany,
and now and then makes pleasure
trips to various resorts, visiting
friends from the old monarchistic
regime.
In the various Bavarian spas
she holds a small court and ac-
cepts the title of "kaiserin" from
her attendants as though no change
had taken place. She meets few
republicans.
The princess, therefore, received
a slight surprise recently when she
attended a production of Wede-
kinds Bismarck" in Berlin, in
which Paul Wegener played the
leading role. Wegener's perform
ance pleased the princess greatly
and she sent word back stage be-
tween acts that she would like to
come back and congratulate him In
person. The courier" returned
with Wegener's brief refusal, say
ing he never received ladies in his
dressing room during a perform
ance, and "as a confirmed repub-
lican" he asked to be excused from
receiving the princess after the per-
formance as well.

Maya Indians May Have
Been pioneers" in Corn

At Qulrigua, in the republic of
Guatemala, there exists a number
OF most interesting ruins, appar-
emily the remains of temples and
other public buildings. There are
many individual monoliths, erected
as monuments of different sorts,
sculptured with human faces and
figures and animal designs, as well
as hieroglyphics, which archeolo-
gists have not as yet been able to
decipher accurately. One such
stone bears a date in Mayan chro-
nology which has been COM
puted to coincide with 535 A. d. Of
the Gregorian calendar. The cary
Ing of this monolith, which is the
largest Of the surviving remnants,
Is still clear and perfect, despite
the long procession Of centuries
that has passed over 1t. Inscrip-
tions and representations on this
and other stones tend to the be
lief that Indian corn was first cul-
uvated In Guatemala. The corn
cakes Of the Maya Indians were
probably the first attempts to cook
corn, or maize, and these cakes are
still today the staple Of the Guate-
malan and Mexican diet.

WOOS MAID TO
NET SMUGGLERS
American Makes Love and
Swiss Girl Babbles
Secrets of ''R;ng."

New York.-A suave and hand
some young American diplomatist
made fervent love to a coy Swiss
maiden a year ago in a romantic
setting In Basle, Switzerland, and
so unearthed the secret Of the
S1,000.000 Swiss watch smuggling
ring that long had baffled American
authorities.
The MISUNDERSTANDING
episode was revealed here to the
federal grand jury investigating
the operations Of the smuggling
ring. AS a result four men plead
ed guilty.
Samuel Stansfield and William F..
Gilroy, examiners In the customs
appraisers stores, guilty of con-
spiracy and acceptance Of bribGS,
await sentence. Paul Rabkin and
Joseph Y. Perelmen, partners In
the Superfne Watch company, have
been sentenced to Atlanta peniten-
tiary for bribery.
Strolled Under Moon.
The Swiss girl was pretty Marie
Salzmann, just twenty-one, and,
charmed by the American sheik,
who seemed to be wealthy, spoke
French, Italian and German flu
emily and who looked like the great
lovers of the movies, she strolled
often under the Swiss moon with
him.
But when she had babbled in her
lovers condolences, prattled of this
and of that. the romance curled
up and died, for the Americans
duty had been done.
The name Of the governments
official heart breaker was withheld,
as he since has taken his talent
out of federal service. But Marie
SalZmann, who ran an export
agency, frequently swore before
the American consul at Bernc that
cases being shipped contained
bronze and earthenware figures
whereas they actually contained
watches.
Special Markings.
The cases were consigned to the
World Novelty Importing company,
George Martin, or Albert Davis, but
the truckman always took them 10
the Superfine company.
Sylvester declares the corrupt
customs house accomplices were
aware of special markings on one
out of ten cases which actually con-
tanned bronze or earthenware, and
that when, in accordance with reg
ulations one case out OF each ten
shipped was taken to the apprais-
ers' stores for examination, it was
always the fright" case.

slightly wounded in the hands and
thighs.

wife pleaded with the governor and

Sale; Protects Buyer

purchaser of a used automobile eli
ters into a contract which states
that the car is purchased "as is"
he may recover damages in an ac-
tiOn for deceit, according to a de-
cision by the Massachusetts State
Supreme court reported by the
legal department of the American
Motorists association.

was shown that the sale was made
through misrepresentation as to
