Views of Officer.
. The article in question purported
to state the views of an officer of the
French naval general staff, approving
the use made by Germany of sub
marines against merchant ships dur
ing the recent war. The article, as
lead by Lord Lee, said that the only
weapon possessed by France to de
fend her coasts and to attack and
destroy the British navy in event of
war with Great Britain was the sub
marine. . Admiral De Bon immediately chal
Icnged.any assumption that the ar
ticle represented the views of the
French naval general staff as to the
proper use of submarines." He said
the, article represented only the opin

that was the way in which i-rencn
thinkinc there
was reason -for British apprehension.
; Adimarl JJe Bon, in nis reply, u
una la nt- acrprtainpd said that Cao-
tain Castex's views were entirely
personal and that tney were quite
contrary to the prevailing convic
' tions in the higher command of the
French navy.
M. Sarraut also mentioned a car
loon in one of today's New York
newspapers picturing France as a
woman adjusting upon her head a
German helmet representing military
imperialism and mentioned the in
jury to French sensibilities of such a
caricature. .
-V; ' A rather emphatic exchange also
was reported to nave occurreu tim
ing the morning session of the com
mittee between Secretary Hughes
and M. Sarraut.
During consideration of the second
Root resolution M. Sarraut, it was
(said, announced acceptance by
France in principle. Immediately
.Mr. Hughes, as chairman; inquired
M-ith considerable emphasis what ac
ceptance in principle meant and how
France could accept a broad prin
ciple such as that embodied in the
Boot resolution in principle.
The French delegation head, it
was stated by one of the delegates
did not reply directly to the pointed
inquiry but merely responded that
the French delegation could not give
i its formal acceptance until after in

Unexcelled as Flier.
Stinson. stationed at Kelly field,
Texas, during the war as a civilian
instructor because of his , delicate
health, probably trained more Amer
ican fliers than any one man.
Unexcelled as a stunt flier, he is
proud of never having fallen during
his 10 years in the air. He is cred
ited with not even having broken a
part on a plane.
Happiest in an airplane, he climbs
into his seat with as little concern
as the average citizen going out for

Pilot Stinson flew one of the J.

John M. Larsen of New York, dur
ing the aerial congress at North fly

His ship was the' first of the mono
planes to cross the finish line in the
race, and the owner, Larsen, claimed
first place by virtue of the race he
flew with his ship. The rules com
mittee, however, awarded the race
to another ship, on the theory that
it had consumed less gas in the
race. Pilot Stinson also had flying
experience in Mexico, with Pilot C.

on the Omaha division who went
there to combat mail bandits.'

"Our destiny seems to require
that we should be a well-rounded
nation with a high development of
both industry and agriculture, sup
porting one another and prospering

sure it is the national wish and pur
pose, to maintain our agriculture at
the highest possible efficiency.
To Include Industry.
"It is unquestioned that a confer
ence will bring us .to a clearer un
derstanding of the problems before
us. I would like you to bring into
the conference not only the ablest
representatives of agricultural produc
tion which shall represent Qur great
country in the broadest possible way,
but I think much good would come
if you will include in the conference
those who are engaged in industry
most intimately associated with agri
culture.. It will clarify our views if
we may have present representatives
of the most important interests
which are closely related and de
pendent on agriculture.
"1 trust these representatives will
be invited. I must leave the makeup
of the conference to. your more inti
mate knowledge of those who may
confer most helpfully, but I will be
glad if you will immediately issue
invitatifins so that both the country
and the government may have the
benefit of the earliest possible sug
gestions which will come from such
a meeting."

The Mexican chamber of deputies

the galleries between factions sym

tionalist party and the social demo
cratic bloc,

the permanent commission which is
to act during the recess of congress,
January 1 until next September.
Election of this commission das
been expected for the past fortnight
and the galleries at each session have
been crowded by the sympathizers
of the contending groups. The lib
eral constitutionalists represent mod
erate political opinion, while the so
cial democratic bloc is credited with
radical tendencies.
Afterward, a fight took place out
side the chamber between the two
groups which took troops to quelf.
Discussion of the budget was con
tinued until there came a sudden in
vasion of the galleries by followers
of the bloc, armed with lashes and
sticks. They attacked . the liberal
constitutionalist sympathizers and a
hand-to-hand fight ensued, in which
the attackers were victorious. The
soldiers rushed in and intervened,
but the bloc forces remained tri

I nMhe particular case of Debs, he
added, there was a danger that his
prulonged imprisonment would have
on injurious effect on a large num
ber of people who would regard it
as unjustifiable and rather than be
ing beneficial to society it might op
crate as an example ol harshness,
' Not Physically Strong.
Discussing the question of Debs'
health, Mr. Daughcrty declared that
ne appeared to be physically strong,
hut as a matter of fact was not and
"he is not a normal man mentally
on this particular subject. Consw
ering Debs' age of 66 years, the at'
torney general everted that the per
ceutagc of his life appropriated to
the lu-year sentence was excessive.
Clemency in some decree was Jus
tified, Mr. Daugherty found, but he
could not recommend a pardon "as it
would doubtless be misunderstood to
he a justification of condonation of
his acts. To require Debs to un
dcrgo his full sentence, he added
would present to many "only an ex
ample of extreme and unjustifiable
severity, while too great leniency
"would be resented by those who
have stood loyally to the support of
the government in its hour ot great
est need." '
Mr. Daugherty maintained that .a
great lesson had been taught the
country, the world and future gener
ations by the supreme court's deci
sion which interpreted the law arign
