Mr. Weeks was said to be rapidly regaining tbe use of the fingers of his left hand, which bad been affected, to a slight degree when his illness came upon him. His physicians were said to be much encouraged with the developments thus far, and predicted he would be able to resume hli duties at the War Deportment within a week or ten days.

Tbe petition recalls the family troubles, caused by tbe John F.

Dodge fortune. His will provided thaj" the income be divided equally among hi widow and four of his five children. He cut his eon John off with $150 a month, but later an agreement was reached with the other relatives, whereby John received $1,600,000. Anna Margaret was born after the death of the founder of the fortune, but again a family agreement was reached, whereby she was given a share in the estate equal to that of her brothers and sifters, excluding John. It is this child's estate in which John now claims a fifth interest.

But John, In his petition, reviews other family history. He states that when he made the agreement acceding $1,000,000 in full settlement of the estate, he was immature. nd d.d not realize the value of his father's estate, and that his share as heir-at-law would have been at least ten times what be received. If John F. Dodge prevails in his effort to halt his stepmother from disposing of the estate, the sale may be held up for mouths, possibly years.

The medicine man slew Joe Chavez, a Mexican prisoner in the jail when the latter gibed at the Indian for his part in the nlleged burial alive, of his granddaughter beside the body of his daughter. Enraged at the taunts, Mormon Joe tore a leg from a table and clubbed him to death. Mormon Joe and Plat Nay, his son-in-law, were held by the government for the alleged murder of Nay's eighteen-day-old girl, who, it was charged, was buried alive by the tide of its dead mother, on the advice of the medicine man, who attended the sick woman. Accused at Inquest A coroner's inquest found Nay responsible for the death of the' papoose, and held Mormon Joe as an accessory to the crime. Nay tonight is en route to Pueblo, where.

his case will be laid before a Federal grand jury next Tuesday. Mormon Joe's case also will be considered. Mormon Joe's conviction of murder will result in the virtual nullification of the government's accessory case against him, United States Attorney fcitephan, at Denver, predicted. "Of course, any indictment, if It is returned, will stand." he said, "but by the time Joe is released from prison the affair probably will have blown over and the charges will not be pressed." OB.

Once that country "is in the League, France feels that the public opinion of the world will protect her sufficiently that f-ho will no longer fed the nightmare that has bo far buunted her. France Realizes Her War Peril "France has been looked upon by the rest of the world as the only nation obstructing world peace.

But the ret-t of the world has not realized as dearly as has France that the next war will mean th end of the French, c-ivilfzation. It will nor be until France can be assured that this war will not li apnea that she will be convinced of security. "After France had entered the little I'ntnte with Poland and Csecho-Slo-vakia, the storm of protest from the rest of the world drove France into a moral isolation, the thing any nation fears most. Poineare was recalled promptly and Ilerriot took his place. Ife immediately endeavored to give expression to bis friendship for Germany.

The liuhr was evacuated and plans made for a treaty with Germany. Hut the results of the commission fent to investigate the extent of Germany's, jiriiiaments were so definite that Ilerriot vris forced to agree with the view of Poineare." American Isolation Lamented As to the proposed pact that has been offered France by England as a substitute for the Geneva protocol. Mile. Clement said there was no comparison. The pact is merely an old-fashioned treaty between nations, she added.

Versailles Treaty Opposed Dr. Thomas declared that as long as the terms of the Versailles Treaty and bimilar documents based on od obsolete bense of war guilt, continued to remain in force, the hope of permanent trust and peace among, the nations of Europe will remain an impossibility. "For that reason, although I favored the passage of the Geneva protocol, I am glad that it was not immediately passed." Dr. -Thomas continued.

"TLe protoc depends for its t-trength upon the realization of the terms of the treaty and the perpetuation of th status I doubt if any pheme for readjustment will succeed that must first freeze into a sort of eternal shape the countries concerned before it can function.
