LONDON, August 5—The negotia- tions between the representatives of Great Britain and Soviet Russia have | broken down and the projected treaty will not be signed, it was announced | this morning by the foreign office. The British and Russian delega- tions were in session all night until 7 o'clock this morning, the an- nouncement said. The Soviet repre- sentatives were unable to accept the amendment and concessions offere in regard to Article XIV of the draft treaty. No agreement could be reached, it was stated, and the nego- | tiations broke down. The Anglo-Russian treaty negotia- tions collapsed, according to authori- tative information, on the refusal of he Soviet representatives to accept n article in the agreement, they insisted left the way open for England eventually to demand com- | pensation for foreign property na- tionalized by the Soviet government.

Polish cavalry going to their aid were greeted with a burst of machine gun fire and a battle followed. The raiders escaped, leaving a number of wounded, who were made prisoners. Cavalry forces are hot after the band, with some prospect of its cap- ture, according to latest reports. Some of the raiders, it is stated, wore the regulation soviet army uniform, bearing red stars.

The German representa- tives, he said, hoped to maintain the | friendly spirit of the original experts |and hoped the allles would do the same.

J., August 5.— Denouncing with impartial vehemence both militarism and pacifism, the ex- ecutive council of the American Feder- ation of Labor today refused to be- come involved in the national Defense day controversy. The attitude of the council toward national observance of the day will be one of strict neutrality. It is an- nounced, however, that “Defense day is & matter of law and most labor men will feel that our military es- tablishment may participate properly in the exercises.” Speaking for the council, Mathew Woll, vice president of the American Federation of Labor and spokesman for Samuel Gompers, president, said: Understand Both Motives. “We have denounced both militarism and pacifism. We understand the designs of the militarists, who would take advantage of every opportunity to promote and feed the war spirit. “We likewise understand the de- signs of the pacifists, who would dis- arm America first and other nations later. Most of them now prefer to disarm all nations except Soviet Rus- sia, so that dictators of Moscow may find easier their road to a greater dictatorship. “We believe with Mr. Gompers that ‘there is something too craven for words about those who snort at the burden of the price of freedom.” Some Criticism Insincere. “We are confident that a great deal of the criticism is insincere, a part of the world-wide organized pacifist propaganda and hostile to American democracy. “Defense day itself is a matter of law and we think most labor men will feel that our military establish- ment may participate properly in the exercises and our military establish- ment is not large. It is composed of Americans who are just like the rest of us in their love of freedom and their love of their country.” Take Up Political Races.

President Coolidge today accepted | the formal resignation of Charles B. Warren as Ambassador to Mexico. In a statement accompanying his resignation, which was made publicat the White House with the letter of President Coolidge’s acceptance, Mr. Warren criticized the Wilson admini- stration’s policy in Mexico and declared American property and rights would | be protected there under the new re- | lations between the two nations. President Coolidge praised Ambas- sador Warren's part in restoring dip- lomatic relations with Mexico and de- clared the envoy “represented at all times the fundamental desire of our country to see such conditions estab- lished that we could assist in the elopment of their country and the promotion of the welfare of their people.

It is under- stood the new Ambassador will be chosen from outside of the present diplo- matic corps. Text of Letter. The letter of President Coolidge to Mr. Warren follows: “The request which you make in your formal letter, that your resig- nation be accepted on this date, is granted. “Your mission to Mexico has been attended with the most gratifying success. You have re-established the most cordial relations between our own Government and the gov- ernment of that country, which had been interrupted for a long period of years. You have solved many of the perplexing questions, and especially have provided for the protection of American life and American property, and the settlement of disputed claims. I feel certain that you will look back in the future upon this work with the utmost satisfaction, as an effort that has greatly contributed to the welfare of our country. “I am not unmindful of the ex- tremely good influence that your presence in Mexico had in promoting the welfare of the Mexican people themselves.

SEES SPLIT PERSONALITY RESPONSIBLE FOR CRIME State Prosecutor Again Fails to Draw Admission Two Defend- ants Are Insane. By the Associated Press, CHICAGO, August 5.—Dr. Willigg§ Healy of Boston, second psychiatrist, testifying for the defense at the hears ing to determine punishment fog Richard Loeb and Nathan F. Leopold, jr, for kidnaping and murdering Robert Franks, testified today that the crime was the direct result of Loeb’s “diseased motivation” and that the observation of the vouths in the courtroom had confirmed his opiniow from examinations that they are men- tally diseased Cross-examination by Dr. Healy be- gan by Robert E. Crowe, State's at- torney, seeking to bring out the basis of a “childish compact” between Loeb and Leopold, and the hearing, upon suggestion of the defense, became si- lent, the witness testifying in a low voice only for the court and the stenographers. The matter of which boy struck the fatal blow with a cold chisel r mained the puzzle of the trial whe Dr. Healy on cross-examination, aft a fifteen-minute reference to his notes of examinations, said that he had n been told which killed the Fra boy, and did not know. Mental Analysis Continues. Dr. William Healy, Boston psychi- atrist, still was on the witness stand giving direct testimony when the twelfth day’s session of the hearing to determine the punishment of Na- than F. Leopold, jr., and Richard Loeb for the kidnaping and slaying of Rob- ert Franks opened before Judge John R. Caverly this morning. Called by the defense to give testi- mony that the two scions of wealthy Chicago families are “mentally sick,” but not legally insane, with a hope of obtaining mitigation of punishment, Dr. Healy still bad an hour or more of direct testimony. Robert E. Crowe, State’'s attorney, said he ex- pected to take not more than an hour on cross-examination. He is the sec- ond of a half dozen to be called for the defensc. Explains Childish Compact. Dr. Healy resumed his testimony by further explaining the *“childish compact” he eaid yesterday Loeb and Leopold had entered into at the age of 15. “This childish compact was entered into apparently for the sake of car- rying out some of the childish no- tions which each had and was un- willingly acceded to in both in- stances, to a certain degree, any- how,” said the witness. ‘No doubt some think it is a great deal worse than it really is.” The witness sald Loeb began drink- ing at 15 years of age, a fact which he considered pertinent to the case, and began an association with elder folks. “When he got into oollege life he had been pushed ahead of himself,” said the doctor. “He was in a sit- uation then which was decidedly un- | fortunate.” Sees Split Personality. Turning to his conclusions, Dr. Healy sald that “on account of Loeb's abnormal life, particularly on ac- count of his twisted emotions, as ev denced, and then his pathological ab- sence of feeling about his own mi conduct, on account of his pathologi- cal split personality, and on account of the fact that it is unthinkable that a boy of the lovable qualities that endeared him to both sexes inside and outside his family circle so carefully planned this monstrous deed unless mentally abnormal, I am forced to conclude Loeb has a thoroughly diseased mental life, an abnormal split personality.” The doctor said his observance of the defendants’ conduct in the court- room confirmed his conclusions. Dr. Healy said his compensation was $250 a day. “Doctor, you talk about a childish compact,” said Crowe, on cross- examination. “In that pact these boys agreed to practice different forms of perversion, didn’t they?” “Childish forms, yes,” replied Dr. Healy. Judge Caverly ordered that examina- tion along that line be done privately. Asked Who Planned Crime. Mr. Crowe asked the witness if he did not think, from all viewpoints, that the crime itself was the most important. Dr. Healy replied in the affirmative. “Don't you think the manner in which they related the details of the murder might have aided you in forming your conclusion?” Mr. Crowe continued. “No; I knew enough about it al- ready,” said Dr. Healy. “Do you know in whose mind the crime originated; did elther state which actually did it?” Mr, Crowe asked. Not without referring to my notes, which would require half an hour,” replied Dr. Healy. Mr. Crowe demanded that he do ‘so and at the same time determine who actually committed the deed. Judge Caverly ordered a recess while the alienist examined his notes. When Dr. Healy resumed he told (Continued on Page 4, Cob ard
