NEW NAVAL PACT GETS U. S. FAVOR
Stimson Reiterates Accord Satisfactory Despite Frahce. Washington, March 12-—The attitude of the American government toward the British-French-Italian naval accord appeared last night to he that of passive approval. Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson, while declining to make any formal statement in connection with publication in Europe of details of the settlement .reiterated that the accord was acceptable to the United tSates. The position of the United States has been that whatever was acceptable to Great Britain, the directly interested nation, would ne acceptably to this country. Variation Regarded Slight Indications that capital ship tonnages allotted to France under the Washington arms treaty would be affected were not considered highly significant here. The variation in tonage which might be established by the accord was considered so small that it was not looked upon
as important.
The American, government has been advised only of the basis of the settlement, and has not been informed of the exact form. WAfSONREPLIES TO GEOJIORRIS Says Nebraska Senator is Afraid to Answer

New York, March 12.—United States Senator James E. Watson, of Indiana, before entraining for Chicago late yesterday, declared Senator George W. Norris, of Nebraska, was “afraid to answer’’ his fourteen questions to progressives, and he defended his lobby record against the Norris attack. “When a man gets mad and resorts to ridicule and personalities it is proof conclusive that he is seeking to evade the real question at issue,” Senator Watson said. Answers Norris’ Attack “The fact is I was never lobbyist at Washington except for the Manufacturers’ association in their effort to secure the enactment of a law providing for a tariff commission and no evidence to the contrary was ever adduced before
any committee.
“The senator might have answered my questions in the time he took to misrepresent me, but he evidently was afraid to answer them and so resorted to the tricks of the pettifogger and shot a few shafts of ridicule which have fallen short of the mark. “Notwithstanding his assertion the present conference is not a political one, the truth is they are considering nothing but political questions, among them some I asked. Just why a senator’s ire is aroused because a fellow senator asked him to express his views on questions that have been and will be before Congress and are very much in the public mind is more than I can conceive. Says Questions Are Pertinent “Every question I asked is a pertinent one and could have been answered entirely outside of partisanship and without any reference to partisan appeal or party platforms. I submit in al seriousness that each question was entirely proper to be submitted to a gathering of that kind and that some reason other than the pretext set forth by Senator Norris must have prevented a response. “Inasmuch as I was elected to Congress ten years before Senator Norris and have been continuously returned by my constituents, I shall in the future as in the past submit my case to them and not to the senator from Nebraska.”
FLOODS CAU DEATH INEUROF
Low Temperatures Add to Suffering Over Very Wide Area. Paris, March If.—(UP)—Floods and freezing temperatures spread suffering and death along almost every river in France today as storms which swept southward from the British Isles continued in Europe. Entire villages along the Seine, Loire, Rhone, Lot and Meuse valleys were evacuated and,thousands of families were homeless. The Loire broke its levels and isolated several villages, cutting off electrical power and causing minor landslides in the region of Vendome. About 10,000 families were driven from their homes in various parts of France and suffering was acute, particularly in the central highland districts. The Paris region was covered with snow, which halted the Enghien races and increased the danger of serious floods along the Seine embankments. The Seine has risen rapidly as the snow melted in tlie last 24 hours. All train and road traffic was interrupted in the lower Alps, and landslides near Borderfes-Louron devasted more than ten acres, destroying several farm houses before the earth movement halted at the walls of the old Church of Borderes. Forty persons evacuated their homes in the region of Beagues, near Chambery, because of threatened landslides, while a rock slide at Tarentaise crushed two persons to death and injured three others gravely. The storm battered and delayed ships at sea, even the larges tof Transatlantic liners. The S. S. Europa arrived 18 hours late, reporting tempestuous snowstorms and gales over the North Atlantic. The shipping along the coast was battered and small vessels sought shelter in port. goodfeedT BETTER WORK Protein Should be Included for Horse’s Needs, Officials Say. Horses have been forced into an unimportant place on many farms, due to the general adoption of tractors. As a result the horses on these farms are given little attenAion beyond the provision of a little roughage or barely enough feed to keep them alive. On many other farms, where horses furnish the main source of power in the field, they are not given the care which they deserve and which they must have if they are to do the work expected of
them.
Few farmers give much thought to the feeding of their horses, even where they are used constantly in heavy work. Corn or oats, with a little poor quality hay is expected to keep the horses in good condition, even during the busiest sea-
sons.
Oats, with a good grade of legume hay, probably provide the best ration that can be grown on the farm. If corn is fed during the busy season a little linseed meal, not more than a pound a day, should be included in the ration, since co»n is low in protein. During the idle season, horses will do very well on corn stover or a poor quality hay if a little grain and a little linseed meal are also fed.
QUAKE RELIEF BEING RUSHED Thousands are Reporetd Hornless and Many Injured. Belgrade, Jugo Slavia, March 11. —UP—The work or relief for thousands of homeless, injured and hungry refugees in the earthquake stricken district of southern Jugo Slavia, was hurried under supervision of King Alexander. The King drove by automobile through the devastated area, which has suffered repeated earth shocks, rain and intense cold since last Thursday evening. When his automobile reached the town of Piravo there was not a building left standing. Nineteen persons had been killed in the destruction of the 160 homes of the town. The king distributed food and tents to the still frightened inhabitants, who had suffered intensely since their homes were destroyed. At Kara and Gjorgijevo, the king reassured villagers who had been frightened by the eruption of water and sand from the earth when the shocks closed hot water springs. Late yesterday the Monarch returned to Belgrade to continue direction of relief work from the capital. Minister of Welfare Preka was sent to the stricken area to continue organization of relief. More than 1,000 refugees have arrived in Belgrade, but many of the inhabitants who fled their shaking homes have returned, the meager advices from the south said. Only at Valandova was there delay In returning, due to the fact that dark clouds hung over the town and the population feared that the clouds meant further disaster.

Evansville, Ind., March 12.—UP —William Shamberger said in court here that he played a game of “give and take” with Will Nixon— that he gave Nixon storage space in his garage, and that the latter took possession of both the garage and the house.

Shamberger testified that a short time later Nixon moved the furniture into the house, and that finally, to cap the climax, he ordered Shamberger, the owner, from the home.
