Frencli Want I'eace.
In a dramatic speech of an hour,
the French premier outlined to the
conference "what Is being said at the
door o? France," which, he added
wants peace.
As an example, M. Rrland read sev
eral passages from the memorandum
circulars or Ludendorft regarding her
intentions for world conquest. Among
there citations was Ludendorffs dec
laration that the institution of war
was a creation or God.
Throwing tbe Ludendorft" manu
script dramatically upon the table.
M. Ilrland declared.
How can anyone ask France Ho
disarm under such conditions?"
Reverting to the possibilities that
he war parties of the central em
pires might come back to power, M.
lirlnnd recalled there recently was
an attempted restoration In Europe
which might have set the whole con
tinent on rire.
'Fortunately Tor the entente," he
added, "It was averted."
Government gluiky.
The present German government
might fall at any moment," Premier
Briand continued.
There was still another German or
ganlzation, he said, comprising 150,
000 former enlisted men with non
commissioned, officers to undergo
military service. i
"We-demand dissolution of- this
force," he said. "Instead of this be
ing a local police force, it has become
a general police for use anywhere ln
Germany. It now comprises about
l'i.u.ooo men.
Through the various organizations
of former army men, Premier Briand
said Germany has grouped together
Its men available for military serv
ice, "in a marvelous and ingenious
way."
Former combatant associations
were formed In Germany, he con
tinued, and marshalled on occasional
military anniversaries.
"In Upper Silesia ln a few weeks,"
he continued, "almost ln a few days,
there were about 40,000 men readv
with machine guns and rifles. These
are facts, gentlemen. I am not In
venting them and bringing them here
to make my case better. In a few-
weeks or perhaps ln a few days Ger
many would begin to raise 6,000.000
or ,000.000 men."
Coming to physical aspects. Pre
mier Braind said It was well under
stood tlt some persons , took the
Viewpoint that as Germany was just
emerging from the war Bhe was ln
no position to be dangerous.
"Our soldiers had a place In the
right," said M. Briand. "and thev
know to what point the German sol
dier can carry his heroism. Ger
many still has 7.000,000 men who
have made war. You ask Is it possi
ble to mobilize an army there tomor
row? I answer yes."
Government Weak.
What Is the German army?" he
asked. "Is it ln conformity with the
peace treaty? No, certainly no. Ac
cording to secret instructions Issued
by some of the German military au
thorities,, these men are not only
prepared for police service, but for
war if needed.
' "The German government Itself
has done Its duty and is ready to re
organize. The German chancellor Is
loyal and has applied every real evl
donee that he realizes the state of
peace and honors the signature of
Germany, but the German govern
ment Is weak."
A "close-up" of the French pre
mier shows that his eyes are blue
rather an unusual color among the
dark featured Bretons and are
larger and expreeslve of emotion.
Jlut they snap and flash like fire and
appear dark as he plunges headlong
Into his subject; they are touched
again with softness as his voice
pleads for France.

LONDON. Nov. 22. Sir Arthur
N'ewsholme, formerly member of the
Ministry of Health, discussing prohi
bition In America on his return here
after a two years' visit to the United
States, hammered another nail Into
the lid of the "medlclnb chest.
"The American public," he said.
"will endorse the action already tak
en, and will insist on Its continuance
and extension, and prohibition, in
my view, will remain ln operation as
the law or the land."
Sir Arthur views the question from
the standpoint of the persons made
to suffer ln consequenre of other per
ons" drinking.
"Ltneratlnn of the r -ry from un
fair conditions rr"'-" than personal
liberty, which mtrhl easily become
license, Is," he says, "the present so-
cinl desideratum. The case for com
pulsion, and It is a good one, is that
moral suasion acts slowly on minori
ties and meanwhile multitudes of
Innocent persons continue to suffor,
and the community suffers In pocket
and in efficiency."

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 22.
Alice Blake, a show girl, took
tbe stand-in the Arbuckle trial
today and identified notes of a
statement detailing the circuni-
stances of Miss Happe's death.
Joseph Radeaus, of Los An-
geles, physical culture trainer,
testified that he treated Miss
Rappe for excessive weight,
demonstrating for the Jury the
exercises he gave her. He said
she was ln good health.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21. The
Jury trying Roscoe ("Fatty") Ar
buckle tor manslaughter as a result
or the death of Virginia Ruppe, this
afternoon -.heard the details of the
gay "gin party" given here Labor
day by the film comedian from the
lips of Zey Prevon,. showgirl, and one
of the state's two star witnesses.
Miss Prevon was called at 11:45
o'clock after the state had completed
Its medical, testimony. She kept the
tense courtroom waiting five min
utes and then made a dramatic appearance.
She wore a blue street dress and
Hudson seal ir-liat with a gold
top. She made a striking picture on
the stand. As she passod the coun
sel table to take the stand she stared
directly at Arbuckle, who evaded
her gaze. . ..
Quotes Virginia RApe.
In a calm manner and in a draw
ing tone of voice the show girl gave
the most damaging evidence yot ad
duced by the state against Arbuckle.
Arbuckle exhibited the greatest
nervousness apparent since the trial
started during her story. His face
was red and he avoided the eyes of
the witness, who trequently stared
directly at him.
Assistant District Attorney Leo
Friedman conducted her examina
tion Tor the state
Miss Prevon said she did not know
Virginia Rappe in her life time.
The witness told of arriving at the
Arbuckle party at the St. Francis
hotel about 1:30 p. m. on September
6. Arbuckle. Miss Rappe, Mrs. Del
mont, Lowell, Sherman, Al Sem
naoher and Fred Flshback were
there when she arrived, she said.
Comedian in Hatbrobe,
Arbuckle was dressed in a bath
robe and pajamas, she said. Food
and drinks were being served ln
quantities, the witness declared. The
center of the party, she said, was in
room 1220.
About 2:30 I saw Virginia Rappe
go to the bathroom of 1221," she
testified. At that time Lowell Slier
man, Alice Blake and Arbuckle were
in 1220.
Mrs. Delmont was In that bath
room changing her clothes, and Miss
Rappe went to room 12in. She was
followed by Arbuckle. I went into
room 1221 for a few seconds. I never
saw how many drinks Virginia took.
Before Miss Happe went into room
1219 the guests were editing and
drinking and dancing. Arbuckle had
sent for a Vlctrola and the music
was going most of the time.
About a half hour after Miss
Rappe went Into 1219, I saw Mrs.
Delmont go to the door.
'Tin Dying, She men.
Mrs. IMmnnt asked that it be
opened. Then she kicked on tho door
and I heard her saying, 'Open the

In the contract form drawn by
the er--ineer particular attention la
called to that clause which provides
ttint the cofferdam shall be con

he may use such material as tbe

'In the contract drawn by the con

and escaped notice until actual con
struction was started, whereupon the
state under the substitute contract
was compelled to purchase 8.000

"The engineer ordered them re
moved until the gravel was cleared
off bed rock. The contractor was
unable to do this because ot the
depth of water ln the cofferdam.
"The director of hatcheries ar
rived at the dam August 20th and af
ter a conference with the contractor
decided to change the. direction ot
tho sills which rested on rock so that
their course should be at right angles
to the current, order a new bill of

the director of hatcheries Informed
him that his services would no longer
be necessary and that the contractor
would complete the dam.
"In auditing the accounts of ma

engineer estimates that by reason
of the latter contract and change ln

ably aroused over the matter and de
clare that the legislature will be

the construction of the dam nnd the
reasons for changes ln certain plans

The dam was torn out by tho first

and allowed the river clear sweep
around the Heavy cribbing ln the
center, which was also shifted slight
ly, according to the meagre reportB
received. It Is a difficult matter 10
