thanks to such an alliance,
France today is allied with
Russia, the possessor Of Eu-
ropes largest army.
Russia has pledged that her
solid, well-equipped army will march
with us in case France is attacked"
1t was a reference to the new
French-Russian treaty of mutual
defense.
In his speech, Colonel Fabry said
Germany had twenty-one army di-
visions, comprising 100000 men,
ready in barracks, and soon would
have forty-two divisions, or 100000
men. It's air force, he said. soon
would number 100 squadrons-al-
though Germany is forbidden an
air force by the Versailles treaty.
"A new force arises from German
soil" he said, but Germany is not
yet ready to use the most modern
war material. France has made a
considerable advance in the use of
war machinery, and this advance
must be maintained
What will the next war look
like? 1t will be an inhuman, light
ning-like aerial attack and rapid
movement of motorized armies and
irreparable destruction of the in
vaded regions"

NEVER SAY 1T AMT
SO,' BOYS! STRANGE
SEA MONSTER FOUND

By United Press
PRINCE RUPERT, B. c., Nov.
-Vindication seemed near to-
day for those who have claimed
two sea serpents inhabited the
sound near here.
The carcass of a strange
creature, nearly thirty-five feet
long. lay in the Dominion fish
cries experiment station today.
It had two flippers, about twenty
five feet behind a calf-like head,
which we're the only bony Struc-
lures in addition to a spinal
column. There was a fluff of
hook ended hairs, stiff as quilts,
about the neck and the rest of
the body was covered with skin
rough as sandpaper. Nine to ten
inch hairs covered the lower side
of the body.
The carcass was washed ashore
on uninhabited Henry island,
twenty-five miles southwest of
Prince Rupert.

ASK IDENTITY
OF GAS CHIEFS
City Demands Right to
Know Men Behind Con-
tract Plan.

Identity of the interests back Of
the recently incorporated Users Gas
Company must be revealed before
representatives of the Indianapolis
utility district will discuss any pos
sibility of doing business with the
company.
This was learned today from
Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan after a
carefully guarded exchange of let
tiers between Clinton H. Givan, COM
pany attorney, and Will H. Thomp-
son. of counsel for the utility dis
trict.
The company was incorporated
Oct. 6 by dummy incorporators. 1t
applied for a franchise about mid
November and. Nov 81. offered 10
sell natural gas to the city at IS
cents a thousand cubic feet and to
loan the city enough money to OBJ
tain title to the Citizens Gas Com
pany equipment.
At that time. it was learned that
Mr.. Givan offered to supply the
names of his clients TO Mr.. Thomp-
son and Albert L. Rabb, also OF
counsel to the utility district, if the
lawyers would keep them a profess
sionaI secret and merely investigate
the financial responsibility of the
persons involved.
Mr.. ThOmpSon's answer. which
neither he nor Mr.. Givan would dis
close. was understood by Mayor
Sullivan to be a statement that the
city. through its utility district. was
willing to confer with the men be-
hind the Users organization. but
that. before any such conference
with the Users company officials. it
must know their identities.

FIGHT DROPPED
BY NAzl BISHOP
Mueller AbandonS Attempt
for Capitalization OF
German Structure.
By United Press

By United Press
BERLIN, Nov. 23.-Reichsbishop
Ludwig Mueller today abandoned
his efforts as Nazi head Of the
Evangelical church to enforce total
Capitalization upon it.
He issued two DEGREES which
annulled earlier ones by which the
autonomy of the PrusSian church
was Cancelled. The cancellation
was criticised severely by opposition
churchmen as unconstitutional.
BY restoring autonomy to the
Prr:ssian church, the reichsbishop
wa1ded off further legal attacks,
which he feared might bring an un-
favorable court decision.
The restoration of autonomy to
the Prussian church means that the
relchbishop recognizes the tradi-
tional state church structure and
renounces, for the time at least, the
idea of total Capitalization. He re-
tains the leadership, however, of the
Prussian as we'll as the Reich
church.

The attention of the crowd of
spectators was snatched from insult
by the shouted pleadings of Floyd
E. Thompson, husky leader of the
defense lawyers.
"Victim of Own Scheme"
Samuel insult was a victim Of
his own scheme-if it be a scheme, "
he declared His bushy black hair
was in disarray.
He sold himself on the future of
the great business which he con-
ceived and expanded bringing vast
wealth to thousands of people. Is
there anything criminal in that?"
"Is it reasonable to assume that
man with the record of honesty Of
Samuel insult would throw away
the accumulations of lifetime and
emerge before you now as pauper
if he was out to Swindle widows and
orphans?"
The attorney, whose dramatic
plea brought his aged client to the
verge of tears, described frenzied
dCllNlUN dlIlOllS Illou4l anu 4llo
associates following the market
crash of October, 1929.
Called Victims of Crash
insult and the investors alike
were victims of the crash of that
crazy BOOM" Mr.. Thompson said.
1T was the result of a wild market
in which the public is turned loose.
What did insult and his associates
do? They went into the market and
it in an effort to protect
the money Of the stockholders. Is
that rigging?"
eff they had called a mass meet
ing then of the 100000 stock sub
scribers there would have been an
unanimous vote in favor of such
support
Hitting at the governments
charges of fraud, Mr.. Thompson
said that only one witness was pro-
duced in the seven weeks of testi-
mony to testify to being victimized
by fraud.
eff there had been a swindle they
would have brought in 10000 wit
nesses to tell Of it." he declared.

MCAIpin Explains Proposal
Annotated Incident.

A report that office equipment
firms, whose representatives laid
siege to the state purchasing de-
partment Wednesday, were not
asked to bid on $1,000 of equipment
for another department was denied
today by G. M. McAlpin, assistant
state purchasing agent.
The report implied that the firms
purposely were left out of the
bidding because their representa-
tives participated in the siege
Wednesday.
When questioned on the matter,
Mr.. McAlpin showed The Times
that the five requests for bids on
the $1,000 purchase were marked
up" Friday, Nov. 16, one day be-
fore the requests for the $4,000 rush
order we're prepared.
He also claimed that three of the
four firms whose representatives en-
gagged in the wednesday dispute
were asked to submit quotations on
the $1,000 order.

Copyright 1884 BY United Press
WASHINGTON, NOV. pa plan
Of tax exemption inducements 10
encourage corporations to spend
Immediately for plant improvement
has been submitted to the treasury
by interested New Dealers, it was
learned today
The proposal is a development OF
the recent United States Chamber
Of Commerce plan for business CO.
operation in recovery. But it was
not presented as a chamber project
1t is designed to foster corporate
spending to provide quick re-em-
ployment in the heavy manufactur-
ing industries.
AS received by the treasury, the
plan would exempt from the exist
ing 1875 per cent tax on corporate
income some proportion of each
corporations net returns. The eX-
emption would be allowed with the
express agreement that the sum ex-
empted from taxation would be
spent at once in plant moderniza-
ton or extension.
For illustration, a corporation
earning $4,000. 900 a year might
be given a $1,000, 900 exemption. The
tax on s1OOO,OOO at 1875 per cent
would be S137,500. The treasury
would forego that revenue to OBJ
tain the immediate employment
which would follow its investment
in plant replacement.
An obstacle developed immediate
ly to this suggestion. The bureau
of internal revenue is understood to
believe it impracticable. There is
treasury reluctance to sacrifice a
single penny of revenue during d
period of excess OF expenditures over
income.
In behalf of the plan, it is argued
that it probably would not cost the
government any net revenue in the
long run because orders for heavy
industrial plant machinery and ma
terials would increase the tax LA
bilities of corporations manufacture
ing such equipment and men en-
ployed on the new orders presumably
would shift from federal relief rolls
to private employment.
