GERMAN EXPERT TO MAKE PLEA Will Ask Allies for Credit or Loan to Relieve Money Shortage. PARIS, Dec. 20.—Walter Ratbenau, chief economic expert of the Genncn government, arrived here today fr..m Berlin to lay Germany's Indemnity case before the Interallied Reparations Commission. Herr Rathenau brought a mass of dat3 to show just how Germany stands financially and industrially. If he carries out the program ho took with him to London on his recent visits, he will make another plea to the allies for foreign credits or an international loan sot Germany. Members of the reparations commission said they were determined •to get all the facts about Germany's economic position. The French were prepared to try to prove that Germany can pay if she wishes. The commission met this afternoon. It is understood Herr Hathenau, during his stay here, will consult with Louis Louch'ur, French minister for liberated regions, on Germany's participation in th* proposed international economic conference. NAVAL HOLIDAY TO SCRAP PILE; NEW PLANS UP (Continued From Page One.) of hard bnmps since the conference began Dec. 12, but none so great as that occasioned by France’s defeat of the naval holiday plan, and her fiatiy announced determination to build up a great fleet of submarines. So Intense has been the feeling engendered by developments in Washington it is likely to have an echo la Cannes early in January when the allied premiers meet to discuss and financial matters. Seldom hav the statesmen of two great and supposedly friendly powers addressed each other in an international gathering with the candor and pointed suggestion that characterized the debate between A J. Baifoi.r and M. Sarraut over the submarine controversy. BRITISH AND FRENCH GROW BITTER IN DEBATE. While still maintaining the outward aspect of observing the diplomatic amenities, British spokesmen, in the conference and in talking with newspaper correspondents, lay the blame for failure of the naval holiday plan directly at France’s door. “Disappointment" and “amazement” are expressed over the French attitude. The French, in return, do not conceal their resentment at the "attempted dictation by Great Britain.” The attitude assumed by the Freneh spokesmen is that Fran-e her-elf is the be<t Judge of France's needs, France needs a gr-at auxiliary naval force and that ends the matter. Only the loose ends of the naval agreement now remain to be gathered up as a result of fittest developments. The ten-year naval holiday remains only the shell of a holiday. The first crack in it appeared when Great Britain was given permission to build two more super-dreadraughts and the T'nired States was given p“rm:>s;on to complete two of her latest dreadnaughts, in return fur Japan’s retention of h*r prized Mutsu. The crack widened to a yawning chasm when France refused to accept the submarine plan proposed, resulting in the prompt announcement by Great Britain's spokesmen that Britain would regretfully feel compelled to decllr.e -ny limitation in the number of auxiliary ship- which she will have, to fi>uild to offset the French submarine program. Another crack appeared when France formally announced her acceptance of the 1.75 ratio, providing she was allowed t* begin building replacements in 11*27, Instead of in 11*31, as proposed. The net result of these amendments to the orlg’r.al scheme, it was admitted by officials is that there win be naval building throughout the entire ten years, and the holiday will be a holiday la name only. auxiliary naval ships will keep the shipyards of a!! nations going full blast, and It was predicted that it will take Great Brirain all of six or eight years to construct her two sttper-dreadnaughts-The bugaboo of Idle ship workers and rusting machinery has disappeared. ‘ Sml fighting craft will be constructed although they will be a .-mull- r craft. FRENCH TO INSIST ON ‘ SUB * DEMANDS PARIS, Dec. 29.—France is retermined to stand by her submarine demands despite the criticism that has been heaped upon her, it was stated semi-officially here today. The Government does not believe it Is possible to reach any agreement at the Washington conference on this issue of the air craft question. Naval officials here expressed surprise and were grieved at the statement of Arthur Balfour, leader of the British arms conference delegation, regading the menace of French submarines. France does not intend to use these undersea boats and light naval craft offensively. It was said. The present state of friendly relations between France and Englan 1 should convince the British people that France is not aggressive and “a common sense view of the situation” should be taken. These naval men point out it would be Impossible for France to use her submarines offensively without laying her harbors open to the attack of the enemy's cnpital ships. An offensive warfare with these sea weapons thus would prove disastrous, they said. “It Is not against the peace that we defend our rights to submarines—it is against servitude,” Senator Kerguezec, member of the Senate Naval Committee declared. Dr. Laubeuf. member of the Academy of Sciences, said: “If we renounced construction of submarines we would be completely disarmed et sea, owing to the present state of our fleet.” Henry County Man King’ LAFAYETTE, Ind., Dec. 29. —K. H. Hardin, Henry County, today was proclaimed corn king of Indiana. He won the 1921 five-acre contest conducted by the Indiana Corn Growers’ Association and Purdue University. He produced 129.7 bushels an acre on a five-acre bottom laud tract. Roy Shoeberger, Carroll County, was second with 121.9 bushels an acre; S. E. Thomas, Henry County, third; with 120.9 bushels. \V.

URGE HUGE SLASH IN ARMY AND NAVY\ APPROPRIATIONS Republican Leaders Favor Cut Which Would Materially Reduce 'Taxation. WASHINGTON. Dec. 29.—A huge slash ! in Army and Navy appropriations for the next fiscal year—possibly $300,000,00*) —would be made by Congress under plans framed by some of the most Influential Republicans In the House, it was learned today. Such a cut would mean a saving of $3 in Federal taxes to every man, woman and child in the Fnited States, or from sl2 to sls for the average family. It would be a reduction of more than onethird in the amount asked for next year In the budget. Under this plan, the estimates for war preparedness would be cut from a total of approximately SBOO,000.090 to $500,000,000. Republican leaders backing the plan take the attitude that a big reduction in Army and Navy expenses must be made for the relief of taxpayers, regardless of the lack of complete agreement on armament limitation by the arms conference. Representative Madden, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, is reliably reported to share that view. It was learned the deferred Army appropriation bill, which the House held up because of the conference, will fie taken up in secret session by the House Appropriations Committee, Jan. 10. By t..at time, Hou-e leaders have been Inform- and. the Amer! an delegates believe such consideration will not interfere with the arms conference. GOV.

Judge Edwards said Byers' conduct on the stand, “coupled with the apparently improbability of his story,” made it the court's duty to give him more than passing notice. “He was a willing witness, willing to commit perjury, even to face the charge of falsifying the r -cords of his office In a way he showed a willingness to do whatever was necessary to be done to sustain the indictments.” NUMEROUS AUTHORITIES CITED IN EXPLANATION'. Judge Edwards cited numerous authorities In explaining way he did not q i.isb certain counts in the indictments. In the conspiracy indictment, the fourth, sixth, | eighth, tenth and eleventh counts were attacked upon the ground that the State ; treasurer act of 1920 is invalid. “The court if the opinion,” Judge Edwards suld, “that this point is raised prematurely and should not be considered at this time.'’ In conei-ading his derision, the Judge : said it wu.- ‘ ill important ?■■ the people of Illinois that their Governor fie c -n----v: if guilty, or if not. that he t - acquitted and permitted to give his aiten- | tion to the duties of the high office which he now holds.” New Gusher Gives Battle to Workers ORANGE, Texas, Deo. 29—011 field | workers batr! >d vainly today to throttle ; wh ' v is declared to be Texas’ greatest oil gusher.

GOOD REPORTS OF SEALSALES Jasper and Porter Counties Together in ‘Over Top’ Contest. Porter and Jasper Counties, friends, rivals and neighbors, ran a dead heat In the Christmas Seal sale of 1921, according to Secretary Murray Auerbach of the Indiana Tuberculosis Association.

At _the same time Porter County passed the 150,000 mark. Allen County had the largest sale of the counties early over the top, passing the 800,000 point the day bes re Rush County's goal was 150.000 Christ mas Seals, and the Tuberculosis Assoclation at Rushville was aided lu its sale by cooperation from several factories.

Women Plan to Keep Alert on Disarmament Problems Danger Seen in Use by Cynics of Partial Failure of Parley.

Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By CONSTANCE DKEXEL. WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—Rome was not built in a day. It behooves the women of the country not to lie down and die on this conference. Naturally everybody is disappointed over the failure to agree on the submarine and auxiliary craft questions, and cynics go as far as to declare the conference is wrecked. Those who stood for the League of Nations are sure our entry there would have led the world to the way to peace without this conference at all. “I told you so,” is their refrain. But if President Harding's oft-repeated declaration for a second conference is adhered to, what was left undone this time can be taken up again. What's more, British spokesmen have asserted that they favored another conference to take up the submarine and other knotty problems left unsolved this time. Therefore, the women of the country must awake to their opportunity once more. Perhaps the urge is even more insistent than at any time in the world's history. That is because there is danger the cynics may succeed iu using the partial failure of this conference to prove that nny kind of disarmament between nations Is futile and that even civilized men are hound to destroy earii other. Is It true nations must continue to exist in fear and distrust even of their friends of today, expending the money so badly needed for education and other humanitarian purposes to build submarines and other deadly Instruments of destruction? Women do not think so. Therefore, the opinion is heard that make independent citizenship for married themselves as insistently as they did in urging this conference to be called. Which way will the United States go? Will It ! follow the path of armament building, even if some capital ships have been scrapped, or will the struggle for peace be continued? • • • At a recent meeting of the board of the National League of Women Voters, in Chicago, the decision was reached to make lndeendont citizenship for married i women the uext matter on the league's

legis’ative program to receive most active support. It was at the instigation of the league that Senator Curtis introduced a bill to that effect in the Senate on Dec. 12. It is a plank in the platforms of both the Republican and Democratic parties. It will not be retroactive, therefore not affecting the foreign-Lorn women who now have American citizenship through marriage.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.
