Paris Deputies in
Debate on New
Policies
: BU United Press =

The Ere ench government,
perturbed by the trend of
events in Europe and espe-
cially the danger of a strain
on the BritiSh-French alliance be-
cause of Britain's overtures to Italy,
went to parliament today to find
out where it stood.
The cabinets existence was in
danger. Premier Camille Chau-
temps risked overthrow in bid for
a vote of confidence giving the
cabinet a mandate to shape Frances
foreign policy.
The government was bit un-
certain as to what line it should
pursue and apparently hoped to
get a clue from the debate in the
chamber of deputies.
Anxiety over middle Europe was
eased somewhat by Chancellor Kurt
Schuschniggs defiant speech last
night, proclaiming Austria's lasting
independence. The reaction from
Italy, CzechoSlovakia and Hungary
was so favorable that the French
felt less uneasy over their European
alliances - especially the military
pact with CzechoSlovakia, which
might lead to war if the latter is

Hundreds Of annulmcnts arc said
to have been granted in Imperial

age for the purpose of obtaining a
marriage license in Arizona without
the consent of parents.
Arizona does not have a law sim

marriage of minors. it was explain
ed. Arizona law considers a couple
married even if a false age was
given at the time marriage license
was obtained. In California such a
marriage is invalid. Henceforth
California residents who go to Ari-
Zona for the express purpose OF
obtaining a license with the avoWed
purpose of evading California law,
will be considered married by Cali

divorce instead OF an annulment.

Tells Conversation
Then he related his conversation
with Neblett, Nov. Is, 1886, quoting
Neblett as saying in effect:
That it was very advantageous
effort on McAdoo'S part. because
1t would be popular one, but that
the George A. Fuller corporation
was a very rich corporation and
should be made to pay for such
service. He was very poor; he was
under very large overhead of
$4,000 a month, of which 5000 had
to go every month to the senator as
drawing account: that the senator
was on his back at the time because
he owed him several months in
arrears. and that he would not be
able to take it on a contingent
