Debs, the eolclalist leaddr, returned tonight to his home here after an ahsence cf almost three years spent in federal prison for his anti-war spéech in 1918 when Ameri- ea was at war, and responded io the groeetings with a speech from the front porch of his home, pledging again that he would not rest until others, now serving prison terms are free. “T hawve a heart for my fellow prisoners left behind me at Atlanta,” said Debs, “and I shall not rest in peace until they tre restored to their loved ones.” A long line of marchers escorted him WANT GUARANTEE FOR JAPANESE IN SIBERIA ‘Washington, Dec. 28 (By the A. P.)— Japan wants from the far eastern re- publis some guarantees that her 8,000 residents \of Siberia shall be adequately protected and also wants assurances that there shall be no attempt to conduct vropaganda, more particularly across the Korean frontier, Vice Forelgn Min- Ister Hanfhara announced tomight in dis- cussing conference now at Dairen be- tween representatives of the Chita gov- ernment and Japan. { ‘The Japanese delegate's statement was made following the publication to- fay of demands alleged to have made by Japan uvon the Stberian reBub- lic, demands which the Japanese minis- lar characterized as untrue. “We want no egclusive privileges from the far eastern government,” he sald, “but merely guarantees for our residents who have worked many years in Sieria wnd who have considerable Interests thers, We are particularly’ anxious whout the stion of bolsheviki propa- panda. ‘““Thers are about a million Koreans now domiclled in Stberla, a part of which is contiguons to Korea.

NO PUBLIC BEQUESTS IN WILL OF ROBERT MALLORY Greenwich, Dec. 28 —No public be- quests are in the will of Robert Mallory, late of thi stown, and formeriy executive manager of the Mallory Steamship Lines, which was offered for probate te- day. The estate is believed to be con- siderable as Mr. Mallory was reputed to be very wealthy. ‘The will gives the personal effects and $200,000 to Mrs. Mallory, and 50,000 each to the three children. The residue is placed in trust, the income to go to Mrs. Mallory and at hef death the prin- <ipal will be distributed to the children.

Hun- dreds of spectators walled the line of march of the paraders. ‘The parade moved directly from the raflroad station to Debs’' home, oniy A& short distance, with the sodialist leader riding bareheaded on a motor truck. ‘When the truck drew wp in front of the home, Mrs. Debs appeared on the front porch but she soon retreated to the in- terlor as the swarming crowd separated her from her husband. Finaliy, when he had jammed his way to the porch, she rushed out to embrace him. Then . he turned to the welcoming throng to thank it for the demonstration. MINISTER URGED TO TPHOLD NAVAL INTEREST OF FRANCE (Continued From Page One.) able to invade or sericusly imperil a su- perior military power merely because shs had more ships. “Suppose the almost inconceivable hap- pened and close Illllé’,s be o 7e enemies, it is perfectly otear that 1. that case no British superiority of capiial ships would fmperil the life of France for an hour. “Now compare the position of France in the face of a superior British surface fleet with the position of Britain in the face of France with the largest subma- rine fleet in the world. She could use that fleet if she chose for tommerce de- struction and it is difficult to believe that in time of stress she would not so use it. If Britain were unarmed against subma- rines it was evident that France, using that felonious weapon, could destroy her very existence.” Mr. Balfour saild M. Sarraut had talked of the absolute necessity for France of possessing a fleet of £0,000 tons of sub- marines. “For what purpose?’ he continued. “Not to co-operate with a fleet of 175,000 tons of capital ships. It was altogether out of proportion. What did he want the 90,000 ‘oms of submarines for?” Submarines were a powerful weapon for one purpose only, the destruction of commerce, Mr. Balfour sald. and added: “It is not understandable that Great Britain, when threatened by establish- ment within a few miles of her coast of a vast fleet of submarines which were of no use except to destroy commerce, should say candidly she could not look with in- difference upon the situation that would thus be created.” That ended discussion of the submarine question. In presentipg the French government's naval program, M. Sarraut said that the | cabinet and the supreme council of na- tional defenge in Paris had “resolved to accept the reduction to 175,000 tons” oi capital ships proposed by the American group. The conditions “of application” of this agreement woul be easy of set- tlement, he sald, through oensideration of such qualifications “as it may be uSeful to introduce” in conmection with the naval holiday ' enabling powers to lay down in 1927 ships to replace those which have reached their twentieth year of ex- istence. 3 “It will likewise be easy to settle the question stil! outstanding,” he said, “of the duration of the agreement as to lim- itation of capital ship tonnage™ In presenting the program- of 90,000 tons of submarines and 330,000 tons of auxiliary craft for France, M. Sarraut said the delegation “has been in: cted to consent to no concession on.the above figures.” “To sum . up,” M..Sarraut continued, “France accepts as regards oapital ships the sacrifices which she must face in or- der to meet the views of the conference and which represents an important reduc- tion of her nominal sea power. She lim- its the program of the future constitution of her flest to-330.000 -tons for auxiliary craft and to 90,000, tons for submarines.” Secretary Hughes in reply said he was gratified at French acceptance of the capital ship tonnage limitation, as capi- tal ships were the chief weapons of of- fense, and i the conference succeeded as it seemed evident it would in reducing “in a fairly satisfactory manner” arma- ments represented in capital ships, that 1 alonte would aid “in establishing a better f basis of lasting peace.” Expressing his dl-nypolnv_mant. with the French statement as to submarines, Mr. Huyghes said that if these vessels were to be -available for defensive purposes in connection with fleet movements “they should bear some definite proportion to the fighting fleets.” The French sugges- tion of 90,000 tons “on any basis of a practicable ratio,” he added, would in- volve the assumption that Great Britain and the United States increase their sub- marine tonnage. proportionately with thej French. Mr. Balfour’s Reply. Mr. Balfour, who followed Mr. Hughes, said that the French statement had “profoundly disappointed him,” although p he rejoiced in French acceptance of the capitai ship ratio and agreed that if nothing else was done as to naval dis- armament, “the scheme already in sight with Tegard to the limitation of capital ships did immensely relieve the burden of armament upon an overburdened ‘world.” Mr. Balfour seid he did not regard the French action as to capital ships as an rwhelming sacrifice,” as the figure of 00 tons would be found to mean an incregse in relative strength for her he did not begrudge. The French did pro- pose, he added, to “increase the number of Bubmarines threefold,” and he pointed out that while France's 90.000 tons in submersibles would equal the fleets of Great Britain and the United States in size, they would represent to tha extent of 60,000 tons “submarines of & newer type” than either other navy possessed. This made it certain, he said, that if France carrfed out her submarine pro- gram her ‘“submarines would * exceed those of any other power in the world.” The Britsh delegate. declared it “was perfectly obvious that the proposed 90,- 000 tons of submarines were intended to destroy commeroce.” “They could not be lntended for any other purpose,” he said, adding: “The whole of this controversy will again come up before a public conferenge,” for whicu occasion he reserved himself. Mr. Balfour said he must dwell on the “effect “the French declaration of naval|2 Story was told by Polly Bixby. This| policy must fnevitably produce upon British opinion.” “It was perféctly clear,” he sald, “that if at our very gates a fleet of 90,000 submarines (60,006 tons of which are to be of a newer type) are to be constructed. no Mmitation of any kind on auxiliary vessels' capable of dealing with subma~ rines could be admitted by the govern- ment” which ke represented. Replying to Mr. Balfour, M. Sarraut said he could not comment “on the or- ders of my government,” adding that “certain delegations” had expressed dis- appointment that Franoe could not make sacrifices similar to those she made in arlnila.l ships, as to other clasees of ves- sels. M. Sarraut s@id the theory that “there is an inevitable and necessary corelation between what we are obliged o do and what our neighbors would then deem themselves obliged to do” could not be asserted without his “asserting the con- trary.” He added that the French group | did not admit also that there was a “logieal corelation” between capital ships and submarine tonnages. “That }s an abstract rule which you thought you ought to lay dow= nere,” he continued, “but we have shown that we could not recogmnize it. We are guided by our needs, duty stated, proved, legit- imized. Tt is this rule, and no other thought, which dominates our feelings on the submarine question.” It was in his rejoinder to this speech of M. Sarraut that Mr. Balfour sought to show the “menage” Great Britain saw in the French submarine program. ‘At the conclusion of his remarks he said -he ‘re. gretted having been “compelled to insist upon an aspect of ‘the question which he gladly ‘would have left undealt wath.” - LEBANON Thie (Thursday) afternoon, at 2 o'clock, xercises open to the public are to ‘be held, in connection with the laying of ‘the corner stone c¢f the eorge W.
