again and bring help.
What was the worst danger in sight?
That one Of the Hee See group
should recognize him.
The negro returned carrying tray,
upon which was bottle of whisky, a
siphon of soda water, and cut-glass
tumbler. He placed this upon a low
table before Haig, grinned again, and
withdrew.
Haig mixed himself a stiff drink,
took sip, and wondered.

from modern and highly efficient pi-
rate when, in his own headquarters,
he found himself confronted, unex-
pectedly, by a detective inspector Of
the Criminal Investigation department?

necked deep-chested man, wearing a
gaily colored pull-over, gray flannel
trousers, and gymnasium shoes. His
low skull was closely cropped, and his
face bore the scars of battle.

overlooked him" This was the man
to whom he had spoken outside the
Restaurant Suleiman Bey in Paris !!
But the little street had been badly
lighted, and Haig had worn those tinted
glasses which later characterized "Mr.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The White House and the State De-

keenest interest the tense situation In
Europe, which is nearing breaking
point.
Long confidential dispatches are re-

ment from London, Paris, Rome,
Berlin and Vienna and are being for
warded as soon as they arrive to the
White House.
As in July, 1914, hurried eleventh.

European powers in an effort to avert
what easily may become calamity.
Germany. according to reliable re-

In HIS REPLIES
Signers of Treaty

He Says.

(Copyright 1855, by the Associated Pressl
BERLIN. March 2l-Determined to
override all opposition In its march
toward full rearmament. the German
government today fatty declined to
consider French and Italian protests
against its unilateral abrogation OF
the Versatile treaty military clauses.
After paying separate visits to the
German foreign Office to deliver the
communications of their government.
the French and Italian ambassadors,
to their great establishment, were in
formed in effect by Baron Konstantin
that Reichsfuehrer Hitler would pay
no attention to them.
Further Warning Is Seen.
This action was interpreted in ofi-
cial circles as further warning that
Germany already feels so strongly
confident of her military power that
paper protests Of her violation of part
5 OF the treaty of Versatile. the section
dealing with military restrictions, are
useless.

An official communique issued after
the departure of the Italian Ambas-
sador said Won Neurath had informed
Cerrutti that ''the basis of the Italian
note cannot be acknowledged, as the
disarmament promises OF the other
Versailles signatories have not been
fulfilled"
The foreign minister's quick, curt
answer apparently had been decided
upon by Reich officials as soon as
reports reached Berlin that the two
powers intended to communicate their
protests.

When Baron Won Neurath received
the French Ambassador document
he frigidly remarked:
THE arguments adduced in the
French note do not take the actual
situation into account. wherefore the
German government must decline to
entertain the protest"

CRITIC OF HEADLEY
DESCRIBES CLASH
Lieut.. Desch Says Rating
Reduced After "Run.in"
With Inspector.
BY JAMES e. CHINN.

Lieut. Emil Desch of the eleventh
police precinct charged before the
Special Crime Committee of the
House today that his efficiency rating
had been mysteriously reduced after
clash with Inspector Albert j..
Headley and as a result his oppor-
tunity for promotion had been seri-
ously jeopardized.
Headley. who already has figured
prominently in the investigation. was
characterized as "A strange man" who
is difficult to deal with on police
matters.
Desch described his own run in"
with Headley several weeks ago after
which he said he discovered his eff
cheney rating had been reduced from
81 to 81.
Capt. Marks Questioned.
The foundation for Desch's story
was laid through the questioning of
Capt Sidney j. Marks of the eleventh
precinct. who told the committee
Headley had remarked to him that
some officers In the department had
slim" chance of ever getting pro-
NOTED.
Desch explained he overheard Head
ley make a remark to Capt. Marks
that certain sergeants and lieutenants
were mot doing their work" and he
asked the inspector for an explana-
tion.
You are speaking out OF turn" he
said Headley replied
Desch pointed out that, while he
believed Headley intended only to
justify the statement he had made
several times that No. IL is third
class precinct" he discovered shortly
afterward his efficiency rating had
been reduced.
Capt. Marks testimony was COM
paratively brief and, after relating
the Headley incident, he pictured the
difficulties encountered in attempt
ing to police his large precinct with
out an adequate personnel.
Cites Need Of More Police.
Capt. Marks apologized when he
took the witness stand because of an
impediment in his speech. He eX-
planned he had just had all of his
teeth extracted. Chairman Randolph
told him to take his time.
The eleventh precinct. Marks said,
covers an area of II square miles,
policed by 81 officers. Eighteen addi-
tional men are needed. he declared,
to police the precinct properly.
Sometimes, the captain said. there
are no more than two foot patrolmen
to patrol seven beats. Scout cars. he
pointed out. cover a major portion of
the precinct.
Capt. Marks told the committee
there are no mounted traffic officers
under his command, despite the need.
