MOTHER SENT SON TO JAIL BECAUSE
 HE WAS ROBBER
Strange Action Displayed and Police Are Given
 Big Surprise

Chicago. Dec 29 - (U.P.) - Mrs Della Craver cried to-day, but she said she was happy because she put her son in jail. She is 67, with calloused hands from toll that pro- vided shelter for her and her son through lean years after her hus- band die 16 years ago. The boy was 14 then, he's 30 now. Mrs Craver. said to-day that Jimmy was the best son possible" until two years ago when he lost a job and could find no other. He tramped streets and hustled for New York at first, but rebuffs weakened his spirit and he came to spending days idling at home or down at the corner"
 Two weks ago he brought home q l;ttle box, full of bits of jewelry. Mrs Craver found it.
 "A fellow gave it to me" James explained.
 The mother knew better. A few hours later she walked into po- lice station and handed the box to a sergeant.
 T think my boy stole this" she said. He must pay his penalty"
 Jimmy had fled when police learned the jewelry was stolen. He left a note for his mother that she tore to bits, sobbing anew.
 Hell be back, though she as sured police. "He comes of honest stock"
 Police scoffed.
 But last night Mrs Craver walk ed into the state station, red-eyed but with calm triumph. With her was James. :,
 T want to pay up to make good with my mother" the man told the sergeant.
 Policemen took up collection to send Mrs Craver home in taxi cab after she had kissed her boy through the bars of cell.

Japan Has Broken
 NauaI Agreements
fContinued from Page Il,

Japan's action was decided upon by the privy council, an extra con- stitutional body composed of the "elder statesmen" of tfpe' Japanese empire who act as advisors to the emperor.
 Saito's visit to the state depart ment was 8 legal .formality re- quired by the terms of the Wash ington treaty to set machinery in motion to bring the treaty to an end. x The notice had to be given before January l. in order to term mate the treaty December 31, 1886.
 The move caused no surprise here, but nevertheless profoundly impressed officials as it threatens to end IA years of successful ef- forts by the major powers in the Pacific to maintain political bal ance there through voluntary agreement.
 The administration remains hope full some new agreement can be reached, but if not the way is cleared to substitute the might of naval power for the persuasive eff forts of statesmen and diplomats in maintenance of peace in the Far East.
 Japan's notice of intention to abrogate the naval treaty was also notice that after 1936 Japan will not consent voluntarily to be linn ited to navy only three-fifths as large as the navies of the United States and Great Britain. To that extent her notice was considered a challenge to the other powers. Whether a naval construction race will ensue depends entirely, officials here said, upon whether Japan embarks upon a building program after the treaty comes to an end December 31, 1886. Both administration and congressional leaders here have declared the United States will maintain the 5-5-3 ratio of naval strength set up by the Washington treaty. If Japan builds. the United States will build also. and will build five warships for each three laid down by Japan.
 The British government also has indicated it's determination to maintain the present ratios.
 Japan's action is also expected to increase the discussions concern ing American naval and military bases in the Pacific and the estab- lishment of new ones. The Wash ington treaty "froze" all fortifica- tions in the Pacific except Hawaii, in Japan proper, and the British giant naval base at Singapore. It forbade the construction of new bases or fortified areas in the Pa- cific.
 Army and navy officials and some leaders of congress for sev- eral months have been pressing for the establishment of strong mili- tary and naval air bases in Alaska, although the administration offi- cials deplore such discussion. Plans have also been studied for strengthening the American mili- tary and naval outposts in Hawaii, Guam and the Philippine Islands. Under the treaties now entering upon their two-year period of lame duck" status, Japan is for- bidden to lay down any new war

LAST BATTLE OF
 WAR MAY BE ON
Paraguans Are Storming at the Final Citadel
 of Bolivia

Buenos Aires, Dec 29-UP)- Paraguayan and Bolivian armies were locked today in finish fight on three fronts in the Gran Chaco.
 Enduring torried heat by day and freezing cold at night, some of them with little food and almost no water. they fought with every weapon of modern war from bay onets to aerial bombs.
 The fight had moved in from the jungle regions of months ago where wild animals fled in terror from the firing. The armies. esti- mated to be S0.000 strong, were fighting now for Villa Montes, the great Bolivian army base at the edge of the Chaco and key to the inestimably rich oil fields of the Chaco and Bolivia proper.
 Dispatches from the front to the Bolivian war office indicated the tacit certainty in the minds of the high command that the big battle of the bitter war was on.
 Between now and January, when the League of Nations advisory committee meets in another effort to end the war, it seemed that the entire issue might be determined "a stalemate caused by a stub- born Bolivian defense, or victory brought about by paraguayan advance to Villa Montes.

(Continued from Page 1.) termed effort by American women
 here to help the small, dark-eyed woman of 25 who left Paris last Sunday to seek her parents in Nazi Germany.
 In Miss Wambapgh. they sought as leader a woman internation- ally admired as an outstanding eX- pert in ethnological problems, who was invited by the league of nations to aid in it's task of arrang- ing for the Saar plebiscite. Of Cambridge, Mass, born in Cincin- nati, graduate of Radcliffe, she is three persons selected to draw up the regulations for the Saar vote -one of the most important in post war history.
 At the American University Wo- mems club, where Miss Sittell lived for a month after she left New York, it was said that she discussed no politics here though she was talkative. She is 25. She was born in Lorraine while it and Alsace were held by Germany. She went to the United States in 1925. became naturalized and considered herself a thorough American. She carried an American passport. She left here to seek her parents who moved to Germany when Lorraine was given back to France. She was arrested on the Ger man-Saar frontier and taken to
 prison.
 The fight for her rescue was or ganized by members of the Uni versity Women's club, which was
 donated by the late Mrs Whitelaw
 Reid. Miss Dorothy Leet of New
 York, director of the club, said that before she left to seek her , parents, Miss Sittell said she
 wanted to give them some china, linen and other household goods
 which she did not want to take
 back to New York with her. She
 expressed a desire to ride through
 the Saar in the day time, either on. | her. way to Germany or on her
 way back, to see the country.
 A day before she was due to re- turn to New York in the American Liner Washington, which sails to- day, an unsigned telegram was received at the club:
 Prevent trunks going steamer MISS 0ILtCil dAtNStCo lOl s
 It was written in German. There
 was no indication of the sender. Arriving here from New York,
 Miss Sittell went to work for Count De Chambrun, lawyer and
 son of Countess Clara De Cham brun, who was Clara Longworth of | Cincinnati.
 Friends here believe that her troubles are due to the fact that when Lorraine was returned to France Miss Sittell elected to be- come a French citizen and later to become an American.
 Her parents were traced today
 to village in the Palatinate. 20 miles inside Germany from the
 Saar frontier. They emlgrated
 there at the end of the World war,
 choosing to remain German citi-
 gems. rather than remain in LOT.
 ralne and become French.
 Count De Chambrun, who ap-
 peaied to the French foreign of-
 flee and the American embassy
 to aid Miss sitteli. was for sev.
 eral years in the New York law office which employed her. 1 "She is very religious" he said.
 "she was n choir singer in Bronx Catholic church. She isvery con.
 sclentiops and it la her habit tO
 say what she thinks. She lf of

Washington, Dec. 29 - (UP) - The 1884 revenue act, requiring publication of individual and cor- porate incomes, will be placed in operation March 15, 1885. 1t was learned today. Treasury officials were disclosed as frankly appre- hensive that swindlers may find victims among the 3,500,O0O names of persons and companies having large incomes n 1884. Sucker lists" could be compiled from pub lie lists.
 Agitation among business men to keep the income lists secret came to naught when Guy T. Helvering, internal revenue conn missioner, ordered his collectors 70 begin operating under the 1884 revenue act on the date when in- come tax covering the present calendar year are filed.
 The new regulations require that every person filing a return must fill out special blank show ing the name, address, total gross income, total deduction, net !f- come and tax payable. The same applies to corporations.
 This information must be made public by district collectors with. in a reasonable time" after the re- turn is filed. Failure to file the in- formation carries a $5 penalty to I cover expenses of the collector S office in compiling the data. Some corporations are protesting against disclosure of the informa- ton, contending that it may reach competitors. easury officials l pointed out, however, that the spe. cial blanks do not call for details l of earnings,

JAPAN PRESENTS BREAK AT NOON
 TO STATE DEPT
Will Scrap Naval Treaty She Made With the
 United States

Washington, Dec 29-CUP)- Japan today acted formally to re- duce the Washington and London naval treaties to scraps of paper.
 The Japanese ambassador here, Hirosi Saito, was instructed by the Tokyo foreign office to call upon Secretary of State Hull at noon to deliver Japan's official note that the Washington treaty for limita- tion of naval armamentS must end on Dec 31, 1886.
 The London naval treaty, which was corollary to the Washington treaty, terminates automatically with the ending of the Washing ton pact.
 He carried note for presenta- ton to Hull which would start the Washington treaty down the chute to the waste basket. This note said that Japan desired the Wash- ington treaty to, be terminated at the expiration of the period of two years notice provided in the treaty.
 By so doing, Japan was deemed to have returned all the political questions and naval rivalry in the Pacific to the status they occupied befare the statesmen of five na- tions labored for three months during the winter of 1921-22 to bring the Washington treaties into being.

 Sales inthe first hour totaled 430,0O0 shares as blocks of 1000 to 5000 shares were transacted. That was nearly equal to the to- tai for the entire session week ago when turnover was 50O,O00 shares. Today's was the largest Saturday session of the month.
 Volume frightened after the early advances, and stocks gave ground grudgingly. Before the selling American Can was bid up to new high since 1881 at IA 3-4 up 3-4 point from yesterdays close which in turn represented a gain over the preceding day of 1-14 points, American Can has large surplus and reports are the company may follow General Electric in "do.-- ing something for stockholders.
 General Electric again led i'll activity. It reached a new high on the movement at 22 before en- countering taking. The spe- cial stock dipped to its call price of IL. The entire issue has been called for redemption as of April 15.

ships until the end of 1886, with the exception of a single destroyer of 1,5OO tons displacement which is to replace a vessel which was lost in storm last year. She Is built up to the limit of treaty per- mission.
 The United States must build 6s ships, in addition to those already building or appropriated for. to reach, treaty strength. Great Brit ain must build approximately 40. The construction of these ships will produce approximately the 5-5-3 ratio set up by the Washing ton treaty.
 The Washington naval treaty was signed at the conference for the limitation of naval armaments, called at Washington in 1921 by President Harding to put an end to the growing naval construction race involving the United States, Great Britain and Japan. At that time the United States had afioat, building or appropriated for suffi- cient warships to give this country clear superiority over any other naval power.
