If prop erty is gradually liquidated we believe our assets will be ample to take care of our obligations. Federal Judge A. N. Hand ap pointed J. 8.

In some counties of the state a re- cent ruling by Attorney General W. L. ‘Wall, declaring the eugenics law un- constitutional, was taken as an order to terminate the necessity for obtain- ing a doctor's certificate before a| marriage license could be issued. Until such time as official orders ert recetved Miss Kathryn Dunn, coun-! ty clerk here acting on orders will re fuse to issue a license without a doc tor’s certificate.

FRENCH WILLING TO DISCUSS SUB RULES. PARIS, Dec. 30.—(By The Associ- ated Press)—The French government will be glad to discuss the status of submarines with reference to merch- ant shipping, as well as the humiter, ian bearing of their use, it was said in officlal circles here this morning. Regulation of the uses of these craft might, it was added, affect the ques- tion of tonnage, but the question of the status must come first. It was pointed out in these quarters, with reference to the tonnage issue, that France, including her colonies, has a coast line of 15,000 miles to de fend, while the United States, includ- ing Alaska, has about 11,000 miles. BRITISH ASSAIL FRENCH ATTITUDE. LONDON, Dec. 30.—(By The Asso- elated Press).—Efforts at the Wash- Ingtoa conference to curb the use of the submarine as a weapon and France's claim for a large undersea fleet received much attention in to- day’s newspapers, The majority of the editorial writers assailed the French attitude which the Dally Telegraph says faces the world with the “‘possi- bility of the world-wide orientation of naval policy away from the capital ship and toward the submarine.” The newspaper thinks the immense ex- penditure necessary for the mainten- ance of large submarine fleets and the armadas of auxiliary craft which must be built, manned and trained to of Tripoli, is dead. cope with them will wipe out all sav: P.
