Paris, Nov. 2. - (UP) = Twen- ty years after peace, three-fourthS of the treaty between the Allied and Associated powers and Ger , many which the statesmen of 28 nations signed in the Hall of Mir TOTS of the Versailles Palace, June 28, 1919, has been tossed in the diplomatic dustbin along with other scraps of paper"
 With the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia, six more articles of the Versailles Peace Treaty, 8l to 86, wherein Germany recogniz- ed the complete independence and the integrity of the frontiers of Czechoslovakia, are torn to shreds. An examination, article by article, of the Versailles Treaty today shows that of the 440 articles comprising the peace pact, the League Covenant in it's prefix and the British and United States pledges of military aid to France in the event of another German aggression, in appended docu- ments only 127 articles are left in force.
 Of the 127 valid clauses, nine seemingly are due for early scrap ping-articles 119 to 127 wherein Germany renounced in favor of its conquerors all title to overseas possessions.
 Reposes In Special Archive Frances official copy of the Yer sailles Treaty, signed by President Wilson, Robert Lansing, David Lloyd George, Andrew Bonar Law, Georges Clemenceau, Dr. Eduard Benes, Dr. Bell, Herman N. Muller and more than 100 other peacemakers, is pre- served in special treaty archive at the ministry of foreign affairs, in a wing on the rue de pUniverSite where all diplomatic documents dating back 500 years are pre- served, including the treaty, signed in Paris, which ended the Revolu- tionary War between the 1S Amer ican colonies and Great Britain.

Continued from Page D

Continued from Page D whether any steps had been taken to convene an international confer ence, including the United States and Russia, to discuss ways of main taining the Munich peace agree ment, Chamberlain said, T have no reason to suppose the calling of such a conference at the present time would prove effective"
 Chamberlain said that if the Brit ish plan for withdrawal of foreign troops from Spain is not in effect today, "it cannot be said to be Italy'S fault"
 Troops Withdrawn
 He declared that Premier Benito Mussolini at Munich had volunteer ed the information that he intended to withdraw 10000 men, "or about one-half of the Italian infantry force from Spain. Since then, these have been withdrawn"
 The British government, Cham berlain said, has received three deh- mite assurances from Mussolini:
 First, the remaining Italian forces and all arms will be withdrawn when the non-intervention plan comes into operation; second, no further Italian troops will be sent to Spain; third, the Italian govern ment never contemplated sending compensatory forces for those with drawn.
 No Territory Ambitions
 Chamberlain said Mussolini and F'uehrer Adolf Hitler both very defl- nitely assured him at Munich that they had no territorial ambitions whatever in Spain.
 My mind is quite clear that the Spanish question is no longer menace to the peace of Europe. There is no valid reason why we shouldn't take step which obvious ly will contribute to general ap- peasement."
 With regard to recognition of Ethiopia, Chamberlain said: "New credentials will be issued to the ambassador at Rome, thereby according legal recognition to Ital- ian sovereignty"
 (The new credentials will accredit the ambassador to Victor Emmanuel as king and emperor.D

Lack Of Facilities

Lack Of Facilities
 Lack of facilities of the Water bury court house was the reason given by Judge Simpson for the transfer. He denied the motion for change of venue.
 There is a possibility that the two new motions will cause lengthy postponement of the start of the trials. This is seen in the decision of Chief Justice Maltbie to not name 8 presiding judge until the motions are disposed of.
 Motion To ReScind
 The motion to rescind follows:
 Motion to rescind second para graph of order of transfer dated October 25, 1888.
 "The state in the above entitled cases respectfully moves that the portion of the order entered on Oct 25, 1888, directing that said cases be transferred to the superior court al New Haven, there to be entered upon the docket at once and prose- cuted to effect or otherwise dis posed of according to law be res- cinded upon the grounds that the court was without authority under the state to order such transfer and that superior court at New Haven has no jurisdiction to hear and de- terlmine such cases"
 Repayment Writ
 The other motion filed by MT. AL corn was entitled:
 Motion for reargument."
 'The state in the above entitled cases respectfully -1oves that it be permitted to reargue the question as to the authority of the court to enter that portion of the order of the court dated Oct. 25, 1888, di- recting that said cases be trans ferred to the superior court at New Haven there to be entered upon the docket at once and prosecuted to effect or otherwise disposed of ac- cording to law"
