GREAT BRITAIN
 AND FRANCE GO
 AFTER GERMANY
BY HARRY FLORY

OHitCu TTCSS Stdu SOrreSpOn0enV. London. Sept 19.-(UP)--The British government has lined up solidly to-day with France against Germany's demand for armament equality, as result political ob- servers said, of a surprisingly blunt foreign office statement. The statement was not even tempered with the usual courteous diplomatic phraseology. In many | respects it was more devastating than the French reply to the Reich's equality demand. s'
 Britain considers the demand unwise in view of Germany's econ- omic difficulties; untimely in view of financial concessions recently granted Germany: and holds that even if a disarmament convention is not concluded by the world con- ference at Geneva, Germany will not be entitled to abrogate the re- strictions placed on her by the Versailles treaty, the statement said.
 Germany, after being advised that questions involving national pride and dignity could be best set tied "by freindly negotiation not involving either disregard or treaty obligations or an increase in the sum total of armed force," was told: <a
 This desirable consummation cannot be attained by peremptory challenge or withdrawal from de- Alterations which are about to be resumed. It can only be reached by patient discussion through the medium of conference between the states concerned"
 The statement declared that the peace treaty did not mean that

 Drastic changes, in the staff of the local deputy sheriffs, now all republicans, will be put into effec following the coming state ana na- tional election, it was learned to- day by the Democrat. The plans now in the hands of the leaders O. the g.o.p. organization of New Ha- ven county were to the effect that at least two present local deputy sheriffs would be retired, one for cause and one because of old age.
 While High Sheriff James w.

 The republicans are making a drastic drive for control of the Wa ter.,ury vote in the interest of Con- gresmnan Goss.

Quincy, Mass, Sept 19.-- --(UP)- Authorities pointed to-day to cer- tain discrepancies in the farewell note in Which Charles Edwin Du Bois, A, Tuckahoe, N. Y., jeweler, claimed that his wife, Edith. com mitted suicide. .l

By ELMER c. WALZER


 New York. Sept 19-(UP)-A sharp break in United States Steel Corporation issues turned the mar ket down in later trading today after several attempts had been made to rally the list.

A recovery during the session was wiped out in the early afternoon and wider losses than the morning produced were substituted.
 Steel common sold down toward the 36 level, against a previous close of 38. 7-8, and a high for the Hrecent upward movement of 52 1-2. The preferred broke z points to 68 on top of break of II 1-2 points last week.
