BRENNAN GIVEN A Wili Recover Health Chicago, Aug. 1 (P —George Bren- nan was given a good chance for re- covery today, but there was a gen- eral sentiment leaders that “the Napoleon of Illi- nois democracy” may never again be able to resume the political leader- ship he has held since the death of Roger Sullivan. There was no single personality outstanding among the state's demo- cratic chieftains who appeared as a natural successor to Mr. Brennan, who is fighting for his life follow- Ing operations necessitated by in- tected teeth, There were a dozen or more men, however, any one of whom might fall heir to the demo- cratic dictatorship should Mr. Bren- nan's health compel the abandon- ment of the mantle. Rose to Power Brennan's rice to power from Lreaker boy to banker was being re- told today by his friends as they kept in touch with reports from his Dbedside which early today were that he was “getting better every hour.” Ever since Brennan stepped into the shoes made vacant by the death of Roger Sullivan, he has warred against the Volstead act, against the |return of maloons, and in favor of 'a beer of 3 per cent alcoholic con- tent. His fervor, say his carried him through accidents that would have meant death for lesser men. When he was a breaker boy a leg was crushed and amputated; f-:w knew he strode through politi- cal warfare on an artificial l¢ he conducted his seat in the senate, he fell from a truck on which he spoke.

WASHINGTON SEES N OBJECTIONS Not Against Compromise on Naval Disarmament Washington, Aug. 1 (#—Washing- ton ofticials apparently sce no objec- tion to the compromise worked out by Great Britain and F effort to end the naval disarmament deadlock arising n the prelim- inary disarmament conterence of Geneva, Although the British communica- tion describing the compromisc has yetto reach Washington, it is un. derstood here that it includes the as [signment of a total combat ship tonnage to cach nation and will per- mit the resumption of the confer- ence in the fall. It is believed too, that France and Great Britain have found a way out of their disagreement on limits to be placed upon the construction uf sub- |marines, cruisers, dgstroyers and smaller vessels, The deadlock arose when France rejected proposals to imit submarines and:Great Britain declined to approve any limitation {of craft used as a defense against | submersibles. France Willing To reconcile total tonnage limita- tion with British views, which are ed by the United States and Japah, it is understood that France |is willing that the pro, set forth a specific construction | program for each class of fighting { vessels, the grand tonnage total rot to exceed the maximum preseribed for each power. The treaty, it is further understood, would be effec- tive for a specific length of time, within which each signatory nation v dio operator; | ehief, lweuld agree not to exceed the ton. nage allotted to it for any class of warship. Dispatches from Paris say that American naval convictions were mentioned frequently in Franco. British discussicn leading to the agreement. Both governments were described as scrupulously avoiding anything which might displease the Washington government. Some ap- prehension was felt that the United States might object to a clause re. lating to the size of cruisers, which is understood to be contalned in the agreement. Great Britain and France favor small cruisers, 10 MAKE REPORTS OF DIRIGIBLE'S CRASH Nobile and Zappi Will Recount to Mussolini Expericnces of Men In Arctic Rome, Aug. 1 (®— General Um. berto Nobile, Lieut. Alfredo Vig- lieri and the other Army and Navy ofticers who were members of the crew of the dirigible Italia, will make detailed reports of their ex- periences in the Arctic disaster to their immediate superiors.

Capt Mari- ano’s report will come after he fis able to make it. Meanwhile Gen. Nobile and his companions refuse to make any staterfent for publication. They have in fact asked that the information be spread that any direct or in- direct report attributed to them must be considered as without foundation.
