BRIAND AGREES TO PRESS LIMIT REDUCING ARMY Premier Says France Must Have Army Because of Her Position. MENACE OF BOLSHEVISM WASHINGTON, .Not. IS.—Premier Brian a, in his speech at the next open session of the arms conference will agree to further reductions in France s army. The French premier will promise that France is prepared to go to the •'absolute limit" of reduction in her land armaments, to conform with world sentiment developed at the present conference. The lim-t for France Is the point where her national security la threatened. Backing guarantees, asking none, Franca wishes herse>f to bo tbo solo judge of that limit. _ APPEAL OF FRANCE TO AMERICA, France sent her eloquent premier to Washington for just one purpose, namely that she might take advantage of the new order of things to appeal to the American people for recognition of France's difficulties and support of F’rance's militarism. Although the reduction Brland will propane wiil not boas sweeping as the cut In naval armaments suggested by Great Britain, French sot trees said it would boa "considerable one in Tlew of France's situation." Italy does not approve the large French army; England has feU its influence in trade relations, the American people themselves have somewhat lost sympathy with France in matters, relating to the ■Ruhr and upper Silesia. It is to win back American sympathy for France that Brland will speak. Ostensibly, he will be addressing a conference devoted to limitation of armrments; actually, he will be speaking through the newspapers to the American people. To the American people, in the long run, France looks for support in her policy of defensive militarism, This is a far different thing from seeking a guarantee or treaty after the Wilson tripartite idea. France had abandoned hope of that according to her spokesmen. ••We knew we shall net get uncti guarantees; so we will not ash for them, one French official said. Brian! was more guarded; somewhat more sanguine. ‘Tnlees some satisfactory guarantee could be agreed to,” is the way ha dealt with the matter. WILL PICTI KE GERMAN HATE. The French premier win declare that Franco's army Is less a protection relatively, than will be the navies of the other powers after the proposed cut. He will paint a picture of Germany, with her 60.C00.000 people, harboring a hate, ready to spring at France’s throat should she disarm. France knows something of harboring hate. The menace of Bolshevism, the necessity for maintaining an arjny to enforce fulfillment of the Versailles treaty —these and other arguments In favor of that largest of peace time armies will be advanced. SCARLET WOMAN WALKS STREETS 1 OF INDIANAPOLIS (Continued From Pe One.) The difference in appearance being practically- nil. men of evil bent may approach Innocent young women. “I would like to know if it is safe for my daughter to go downtown alone at nights. I cah not always go with her," inquired a mother i& the audience. "There is so much light and so many decent people on the streets,” replied the captain, “that nothing terrible Is going to happen to any tigct-mlnded young woman. We never hear of the terrible things happening in Indianapolis that we read In the newspapers as happening in other largo cities There Is one thing young girls do that we encounter so very often and try so very hard to etop. That Is tho practice of men Inviting young girls on downtown streets to ride In their automobiles. If a young woman Is trained in the home never to make acquaintances on the street she has nothing to fear in downtown Indianapolis. The women pollee try to stop this praet’ee of men inviting younc girls to ride with them, but it is a difficult and delicate tajk. Always we have to be very careful that the Invitation is not from a relative or a friend. When the policewomen know, however, they get the gitls out of the machines.” CAPTAIN BTTtNSTDJI PRAISES SCBORDENATES. In introducing Miss Burnside, Miss Barker said she recently had toured many far Western States. She said she was surprised and gratified to find in the newspapers there frequent references to and praise of the Indianapolis women’s police depnnjment. ■•lt Is the goal to which all those Western cities nra striving.” she said. Captain Burnside sketched the ecope and organization o£,ber department and praised her subordinates as ail being responsible for the national recognition which Miss Barker said it has obtained. The work of the department primarily ia to protect women, for women need protection more than detection, she said. Women also need protection more than the men because the world has not reached the point where moral standards are equal, although people sometime may come to that state. Policewomen have cleaned up Riverside park so that any family may go there now, according to • the captain. Miss Katrina Fertlg, secretary of she club asked if the “charge made In a local paper last Monday that the women pollee had protected a north side man,” SPECIAL NOTICE New Wall Paper Store Makes Gigantic Offer to the People of Indianapolis and Neighboring Towns.

"There is not one particle of truth in that,” replied Miss Burnside. “We have records in our department which are open to investigation and I say that we never have had a case where a man was brought in by our department charged with criminal relations with a woman where an arrest was not made.” The statement most directly touching upon the announcement of Mr. Shank that he would abolish the women’s division made by Miss Burnside was as follows: "it is nationally conceded that only in separate nnits can women police do their work best, because they are making women’s problems their separate work.” Standing committees of the club were announced as follows: Membership—Mrs. Herman Jose, ehalrnian, 1813 Orange street; Anna M.

Hideko Inouye, who is expected in Washington after three weeks’ journey from To Via. No foreign country has included women except in clerical positions of their delegation*. But Japanese women, though it might least be expected of them have sent two unofficial delegates to demonstrate their interest in the conference. The everyoutbful though 90-year-oid Mme. Yajima has been in this country for a fortnight or more, and now comes announoeinent of the impending arrival of Mme. iholye.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18,1921.

Both efforts act on human life. The Sheppard-Towner bill is in effect an attempt to -raise the status of maternity and infancy—to make It safer for mothers birth to babies and to make the babies healthier and finer. But what is tho use of taking so much trouble about, human beings if thjey are to be killed off in international disputes?

BRIDGE READY FOR AUTO BUMP Concrete Post Put on Flatrock Span. No reckless motorist again wiil find It possibls to tear out the end of the big 175-foot slngtv. pan steel bridge across Flatrock lUver, about ha if way between Greensbur;; and Shelbyvlllp, by running a car into It, declares Lawrence Lyons, director of the State highway commission. To prevent recurrence of such an accident which put the bridge in the down-and-out clasu Just recently, the highway deportment has Just completed a concrete hand railing to guard the approach.

Concrete walls were built back of tho trusses to prevent future accumulation of caducous matter. By the expenditure of only SI,BOO this bridge has been placed in condition for public utility for at Dast fifteen years, William 1. Titus, chief bridge engineer of the department, says.
