Country Only Asks for Time to Re

of War Which Crippled.
PARIS. March 15. Premier Jlille
rand today put aside the German
crisis long enough to discuss rela
tions between France and the United
States and conditions of international
credit. He said to a representative
of the Associated Press:
"France and the United States must
continue the close friendship which
Always has been maintained. No
fleetinjr misunderstandings must be
allowed to trouble their relations.
The sooner, misconceptions are dissi
pated the better.

diphtheria is believed to have caused
Ross Beck, a farmer of Gardner Hill,
to become insane, with the result
that he tried to burn his home, where
his wife is critically ill of influenza.
Guards were stationed about' his
home.
The first death occurred March 1,
and on account of the .contagious
character of the disease Beck was
unable to obtain help. Using- rough
.boards. Beck constructed a crude
casket and placed the body in it. He
dug a grave on the hillHide overlook
ing his home, lowered the casket
into it and shoveled back the loose
dirt he had taken out.
The next day another child died.
During the ensuine four days a child
died on each and at the end of that
period Beck and his wife were child
less. The oldest child was 19 and
the youngest four days old. After
each death Beck built a casket and
performed the burial.

Defense Plea of "Necessity and
Self-Defense" Taken Under Ad
visement as Setting Precedent.
time to recall to our friend, the
United States, that France is not ask
ing for charity. The greater part of
money France borrowed abroad was
spent in the common interest of all
civilized countries, a fact which
might form the basis of a claim for
special consideration, but such is not
our intention.
"We don't request cancellation of
our debts. We only ask time to
breathe and to recover our strength
after four and a half years of ex
hausting war. Our propositions are
those which any debtor would feel
right in making in the interest of
both himself and his creditor's."
ExrbanKC Doubles Debt.
The premier referred to the ruinous
fluctuations in exchange, which he
held would be aggravated rather than
palliated through measures proposed
to Fram e by those not taking ' suffi
cient account of interior conditions.
"If France is obliged to meet her
obligations abroad at the present rate
of exchange- she would be forced to
pay two and a half times what she
owes." he continued. "Thus, after
spending for the common good.
3ii.0i0.fl'.n00 francs borrowed from
her friends, she would have to pay
4. "..000. 000.000 francs as France's pre
mium to these same friends.
"We have given our blood, we have
Slven our money. To ask us now to
give more than double our debt is an
anomaly that cannot fail to strike
the most impartial judges."
After mentioning the suggestion
made by the United States that
France could raise the value of the
franc by increasing exportations, the
premier said that the question ap
peared to be imperfectly understood
by the American people.
Country Still Paralyzed.
"We ask nothing but Increased im
ports. We must first manufacture
and we can't make the things for
foreign trade until we have factories
in which to manufacture them. Do
our American friends lose sight of the
extent of the devastation of the rich
est part of our territory? Do they
forget that we are still partly para
lyzed and that it will require years
to recuperate our waste manpower
and restore the former flourishing
manufacturing centers? The war cost
us 600.000 industrial workers. 600,000
or our buildings were de.stroea, re
gions were ruined which in 1S13 gave
us :5 per cent of our wool, 90 per
cent of our linen thread, 90 per cent
of our minerals, S3 per cent of our

ted to introduce evidence tending to
show "necessity and self-defense," to
night was still undecided.
After informing County Attorney
Robert N. French that he would give
him opportunity to be heard on one
of the cases cited by the defense.
Judge Samuel L. Pattee announced
that court was adjourned until to
morrow afternoon, but indicated that
a longer time, "probably two or three
days," would be necessary for him
to prepare his opinion.
The greater part of today's session
was taken up by the arguments of
County Attorney French and Special
Prosecutor Worsley, who contended
that evidence tending to show neces
sity or self-defense should not be
admitted, since it was not in point.
No alleged necessity should be al
lowed to override the guarantees of
the constitution of the United States,
they urged.
Mr. Worsley insisted on the danger
of allowing "one division of society
to band together to take such action
against another division of society
as the former may see fit."
Both Mr. AVorslcy and Mr. French
rested their arguments chiefly upon
thccase of ex-parte Milligan decided
in the supreme court of the United
States during the civil war. Milligan,
a civilian, was tried and sentenced to
death for rebellion by a military com
mission. The. supreme court held, ac
cording to the prosecution, that not
even the emergency of war justified
any suspension of the operation of
the constitution of the United States,
which guarantees every citizen a trial
by Jury and that any suspension of
the constitution would lead to des
potism or anarchy.

Be-
anrt 53 oer cent of our coal.
"The war wasted our railroads to
an unimaginable extent. Thirty per
cent of our merchant fleet was sunk
and our wheat production was dimin
ished two-thirds involving a deficit
of 2.000.000,000 francs. These catas
trophal changes were a blow to the
very base of the economic and finan
cial situation of France."
The premier took up the view of
American financiers who have urged
France to ship her gold against an
unfavorable trade balance, lie con
tinued: "If France were deprived of her
:old it would bring on a financial
crisis coinciding with the period dur
ing which the effects of war would
be unrepaired. It would constitute
perils of another order quite as great
as those we were under from 1914 to
1918.
U. S. Heproaehes Disliked.
"The reproaches of American fin
anciers that France has been too
slow in imposing taxes sufficient to
balance the budget are made without
due consideration to the extent to
which the paying power of the coun
try has been reduced as sho,wii ly
figures I have given.
"Besides sapping our economic pow
er, the German invasion reduced the
treasury resources 10 per cent. Also,
while the United States mobilized
about 17 per cent of her men of an
sge to serve, we sent 89 per cent of
all our mobilizable men for an in
finitely longer period.
"The paralysis of business as well
as the prolonged absence of so many
taxpayers resulted in a diminution of
23 per cent in the yield of taxes in
1915 as compared with 1913. In 1916,
when it appeared no longer possible
to wait for liberation of the invaded
districts to increase the tax revenues
new taxes were imposed and old ones
increased until during the present
year the yield of those taxes In force
will amount to 12.000.00000 francs.
Further taxes under discussion in the
chamber will increase our revenue to
20.000,000.000 francs, or four times
greater than the pre-war total.
"Could France, impoverished in
manpower, with her principal indus
tries wiped out. be asked to make
greater or speedier effort?
France Said to Be Hopeful.
"France and the United States can
not afford to misunderstand .each
other. Both countries must- bear In
mind that there are no dealings worth
while in which each does not find an
advantage.
"France is determined to rise from
the ruins accumulated on her soil by
the battle of nations. She will be
able to make the necessary fiscal ef
fort, taking all measures the situation
requires."

The conservative complexion of
the new cabinet is regarded here as
representing a strong concentration
of power and as significant of the
determination in Finland to with
stand radicalism and bolshevism.
WASHINGTON, March 15. (By the
Associated Press.) Because reports
were lacking tonight from Major-Gen-
eral Henry T. Allen at Coblenz as
to military aspects of the involved
situation in Germany, government ad
vices today threw little light on the
political status there and none on
possible allied military measures. War
department officials had hoped gen
eral Allen would report on the con
ference of allied commanders on the
Rhine with Marshal Foch, but no mes
sage came.
The state department had an offi
cial rep'ort of a , general strike in
Hamburg, wiOi the military in con
trol and no disorders.
There was much speculative discus
sion again In war and state depart
ment circles as to ,the status of Gen
eral Allen's troops on the Rhine in
view of the fact that the American
forces alone are under armistice con
ditions. Disagreement was expressed as to
whether they would be under orders
of Marshal Foch. Some war depart
ment officials thought that tech
nically the marshal's authority might
still extend to General Allen's com
mand. Other officers, however, held
that the peace treaty had abrogated
the French leader's authority at least
so far as the Americans were con
cerned.
Action Awaits W imbinicton.
In any case. Secretary Baker's view
appeared to render the question pure
ly an academic one. He said General
Allen had authority to preserve or.
der in his area and that any other ac
tion contemplated involving his forces
would have to await approval from
Washington.
Military action by any occupying
force, it was pointed out, would be
contingent more on the character of
the revolutionary change in Germany
than on the revolution.
The change of government would
be of only passing interest to the
commanders, unless it portended a
departure from German engagements
under the treaty.
The present German political situa
tion, it was said, was so obscure as
to defy diagnosis in its true per
spective until time disclosed the real
purpose behind events reported.
It is well understodd, therefore,'
that for the present at least General
Allen will confine himself to a main
tenance of the status quo in. the
Coblenz sector so far as this relates
to the maintenance of order. This
could be done, it is thought, with
out interference with any political
changes which the Germans may
seek.
Industries Would Operate.
Should a general strike extend to
the American section, as threatened.
General Allen s situation might be
come more involved. Inhabitants
would not, it was thought, be permit
ted to suffer for necessities of life,
and the line of communications ot
the American army must be kept
open. While General Allen has large
discretion as to measures necessary
in such an emergency, it was be
lieved beyond warning strike leaders
against any acts having this effect.
he would scarcely do more than ope
rate public utilities with troops and
such civilians as he might need to
replace strikers.
In reviewing the German political
situation as shown in press advices,
officials noted the apparent split be
tween northern and southern Ger
many over the new government. They
also saw signs of a rekindling of the
radical spartacan movement as
force to oppose assumption of power
by the reactionaries. A flare-up of
the most radical elements in Ger
many was becoming increasingly im
minent, it was said.
