THE EVENING BRIAND DEFENDS | NAVAL AGREEMENT Denies Secret Clauses in Franco-British Accord Before League. By the Associated Press GENEVA, September 11.—Aristide Briand, French foreign minister, yes- | terday told the assembly of the Leagus of Nations that there were no secrei | clauses mn the Franco-British naval ac- cord. He said it had been arranged for the sole purpose of facilitating reduc- tion of armaments. M. Briand spoke from the rostrum of the assembly. Delegates of 50 natiol formed his audience and they applaud- | ed as he emphasized the peaceful pur- pose of the understanding. | Misunderstood, He Says. ‘Then M. Briand referred to the navai | understanding between France and | Great Britain. He said the two govern- ments had thought that they were ac- complishing something _toward ~ the | peace of the world, but the result had | been singularly unfortunate. | He explained that Great Britain and France had different opinions on how to treat the problem of naval disarma- | ment. When their technical experts| refused to change their views, the gov- ernment representati had gotten to- gether and produced “not a treaty, not even an agreement, but a rapproche- ment which seemed by its nature some- thing which would facilitate reduction of armaments.” “We were immediately told,” he said, | “that France and Great Britain had | agreed on something against somebody. | We were told that there were secret clauses in our rapprochement. Yet all we were trying to do was to help the | cause of disarmament.” j Accuses Soviet. | You Like It." High Cost of Dying Causes Action | in Paris. PARIS (#).—The Paris Undertakers' | Service, a municipal monopoly, must re- | organize to meet the high cost of dying. The service shows a deficit of more than $200,000 for 1927 and the begin- ning of 1928. Coffins are too expensive, complain officials, and the system of burial too complicated. There is also complaint against the slowness of horsa- | drawn hearses. The service is managed by the city | n_co-operation with undertakers and priests. There are funerals for every purse and taste, with a graduated scale of prices.

Then he turned dramatically toward the bench where Chancellor Hermann Mueller of Germany was sitting and denied the German contention that she had been disarmed while other coun- tries showed no sign of reduction in their forces. “Instead of being disarmed, Germany has an army of 100,000 men,” he said. “Germany also has a magnificent reser- voir of man power from which she may draw a much larger army.” The French foreign minister belittled the claim that Germany had no war material, and said that the rapidity with which the Reich had rebuilt her DOCTOR RISKS SEAS TO TREAT SAILORS Boat Takes Physician to Alleviate Suffering of Men Marooned | | on Ship by Gale.
