GENEVA. November Is P.-French
proposals flor achieving disarmament
and security, presented yesterday to the
World Disarmament Conference Bureau,
have been generally received with a
great deal of good will, but the comment
is widely heard that the plan is tre-
mendousiy complex.
The American delegation here appears
well disposed toward the French system,
especially because the Americans believe
it affords a basis for meeting GermanyS
arms equality demand and getting Ger
many back into the Disarmament Con-
ference,
Resumption OF that conference with
all powers represented is considered an
essential preliminary to the success OF
the disarmament undertaking. When
Baron Won NeuYath, the German for
eign minister. comes here for the League
of Nations Council meeting on Monday
Of next week strenuous efforts will be
made by representatives of the other
great powers to reach some agreement
on the issue Of German equality.
The Italians have informally ex-
pressed q degree of skeptieiSm over the
feasibility Of some of the French pro-
posals, notably that for the creation OF
an international army under the con-
troll OF the League, and that for the
maintenance of war materials stocks
under League control.
Among the Germans and In other
quarters also there is a tendency to
emphasize the formidable nature of sew
eral questions raised by the French
plan, for example, the procedure which
would be necessary for concluding the
proposed continental security paets, the
difficulties OF reorganizing national
armies as proposed by France, and the
questions involved in supervision and
inspection of the special international
troops and their equipment.
Up to now there has been no British
comment, but Sir John Simon, the for
eign secretary. is to speak at q confer
ence bureau meeting tomorrow or

Kermit Kerr, Julius Watson, HI.
G. Parker, Leo Parker, Earl Wells
and Earl Weech, left this morning
shortly after q o'clock In the state
prison bus for Raiford peniten-
tiary. Kerr and Watson to serve
sentences of 20 years and the 9TH
ers to serve sentences of two years.
Long before daylight groups of
relatives and friends assembled at
the prison to say farewell to the
prisoners. Given an early break
fast they were permitted to re-
ceive relatives in the Jail for one
hour before leaving time.
Fathers, mothers, wives and chill
dren weeping and praying, offer
ing words of good cheer to the
prisoners and in the same breath
suppIicating them to mediate on
their errors of the past and come
back prepared to lead better lives.
1t was one of those scenes that
bring back the biblical pronounce
ment that "The way Of the trans
gressor is hard" Hard for those
who have transgressed and must
pay the penalty of their trans
gressions but harder still is the
penalty Of suffering that must be
paid BY the wives and children,
mothers and fathers Of those who
have erred.
In many cities throughout the
country scenes such as that of this
morning awaken little or no inter
est. They are occurrences that
happen weekly. But in Key West
where prisoner is seldom guilty
Of an offense that results in q
penitentiary sentence, the interest
aroused is general and the sorrow
for and sympathy with the fami-
lies of the offenders is felt by the
whole community.
S. f. Ritch, guard from the pris-
on at Raiford, assured the families
OF the prisoners that as long as
they behaved themselves they
would receive good treatment at
the prison as well as an education
If they so desired.

IRISH FARMERS
OCTOBER CRISIS FOR DE VA

PREclPITATED
ny A.aeclatea Pressl

DUBLIN, Oct. 12.-Signs that
the Irish farmer. hard hit by the
Free States tariff war with Great
Britain, is becoming uneasy. have
been 80 numerous of late that
President cannon De Valera gave
them special attention in . recent
speech.
Several observers have predicted
that October would be a critical
month for the administration, bas-
ing this conclusion upon estimates
that the farmer could not hold his
cattle beyond then without meet
ing undue hardships.
De Valera's talk discussed in
creasing demands that the key
controversy with England over
land indennities be submitted to
negotiations. But he added:
The fight Is on and we are
going to stick il out"
Some of the elements most
hostile to the administration have
started campaign with the slogan
mo taxes, ii no settlement. This
movement recalls that in the CAM
paign preceding the last general
election. De yalera's party prom
ised the farmers relief from the
land indennities. But, the argu-
ment goes on. the indemnities
have been retained and. in addi-
ton, the controversy over them
has led England to erect tariff
wall that shuts Irish cattle out of
what had been It's best market.
As an offset there Is an admin
istratien program designed to IN
crease wheat growing and thus
cat down Ireland's dependence
upon the sale Of cattle in Eng
land. Also horne Industries are
being encouraged, housing plans
are being pushed and new markets
for Irish products are being
sought.
Administration men say these
and ether measures viii enable the
administration To ret through
what al agree promises 10 be =
hard winter. De Nalera's foes
think otherwise.

Queen OF Models Rules Styles Realm;
She's New York's Miss Fifth Avenue
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

NEW YORK, Oct. Meet
"Miss Fifth Avenue. the most
stylish model on the avenue of
style.
Her name is Leone Sousa, and
she's brunei five feet 10A
inches tall. She's % years old and
her weight is 100 pounds.
A committee Of stylists chose
Miss Sousa as Miss Fifth avenue"
in connection with the observation
of the Fifth avenue associations
twenty-fifth anniversary. Shops
along the street nominated their
leading models, and she won over
Is finaIists.
Miss Sousa was born in Elsi-
more, Calf. When she was at
tending high school, her teach
ers ''flunked'' her because they
said she wasn't proficient in her
sewing work. That came as quite
q blow to her then, she recalls, be-
cause at that very time she was
making her own tailored suits.
Very becoming they were, too, as
Miss Sousa remembers them.
The title Miss Fifth Avenue"
came to the former California girl
not only because of her ability to
wear creations at the exclusive
shop where she works, but because
she is such stunningly gowned
girl on the streets as well. And,
q large number of the frocks and
hats that have brought her her
reputation are her own creations.
She designs and makes them her
self.
Now her highest ambition is to
have Fifth avenue style shop of
her own. That has eclipsed her
earlier goal stage career which
lured her to New York.
Miss Sousa has a good soprano
voice, and still is cultivating it.
This season she will go into an
other musical production here.

money now" she says. when !
