[" Ml ju'rtN M - Sherbrooke Daily Record Established 1897.SHERBROOKE, QUE., MONDAY, DECEMBER 17, 19.23.Twenty-seventh Year* FRANCO-GERMAN CONFERENECE IS TO BE HELD Lennoxville And Ascot Pay Tribute To Their Heroes Poincare Accepts German Proposal For Conference Premier of France Admits that Passive Resistance in Ruhr Has Apparently Ended, But Declares that as Inter-Allied Commission of Control Have Not Been Able to Resume Their Regular Duties, Germany Cannot Claim to Be Loyally Executing Treaty of Versailles\u2014Majority of French People Refuse to Show Any Enthusiasm Before Shipments of German Gold or Foreign Securities Are Actually Received in Paris.(Associated Press Despatch.) PARIS, December 17.-\u2014The French and German Governments are to discuss the question of the Ruhr and Rhineland occupation.Premier Poincare, in a statement made public last night, accepted, with limitations, the proposals of Herr Von Hoesch, Charge d\u2019Affaires, regarding conversations which Germany wishes to conduct with France, and with Belgium on matters connected with the occupation of German territory by French forces.M.Poincare stated that his Government was always willing to confer with a representative of Germany, but at the same time he pointed out that as certain topics would be of interest to other allied nations as well as to France, he would reserve the right to confer with them before making any definite reply to German proposals.Admitting that passive resistance in the Ruhr had apparently ended, RI.Poincare stated that, nevertheless, as the Inter-Allied Commissions of Military Control have not yet been able to resume their regular duties.Germany cannot claim to be loyally executing the Treaty of Versailles.The fact that Germany has so far been successful in at least bringing about a discussion of the relations of the two nations in the occupied territory is regarded by the more optimistic portion of the public as a sign that some definite footing for further successful negotiations may be established.The majority of the French people, however, refuse to show any enthusiasm before shipments of German gold or foreign securities actually are received in Paris.WARNED HIS PAL TO KEEP AWAY FROM WOMEN FIGHT AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS IS BEING WON Progress

House.(Associated Press Despatch) MINNEAPOLIS, Dec.17.\u2014 \u201cIt was the women who did it,\u201d declared \u201cRed\u201d Ryan, escaped convict last night, in discussing his capture in Minneapolis on Friday night, and the subsequent killing of his pal, Arthur Brown, (alias Sullivan), by a detective on Saturday afternoon.\u201cBrown always had a failing for women, and I warned him against it.I learned the lesson long ago that you cai^\u2019t get too friendly with Women when you are wanted.Fhey'll turn you up every time.\u201d Ryan\u2019s remarks were directed against Irene Adams, the Minneapolis girl, who helped the police to find Brown, and whose telephone message resulted in the latter con-visit being shot dead by a detective as he was entering her home.Ryan says he is twenty-six years of age.\u201cI grew up around Detroit,\u201d he said, \u201cand the gang I trained with was not any too quiet.My principal business since 1921 has been trying to keep out of jail.It was in that year that I was sent to Kingston for thirty years, and some lashes besides.I was sent there for sticking up a bank, with George McVittie.He is there vet.\u201cIn September last we got away \u2014five of us.One of the gang, McMullen, was shot.We got to the United States, four of us.Brown has been with .me since.We came to the United States, but went back to Canada for a week.That was when they say we held up a bank in Toronto, I am not saying whether we did or not.\u201cWe were in the Twin Cities off and on, making trips east, but did not turn a trick until about six weeks ago, when we stuck up the bank in St.Paul.We got five thousand dollars out of that job, but most of it is gone now.\u201cWe picked up a car near St.Paul for the bank job.I don\u2019t know what make it was.That never made any difference.We\u2019ve had plenty of them in our time, and left them all in the ditch when we were through with them.\u201cAfter the stick-up we came to Minneapolis and then went to Boston, Philadelphia and some other cities.Brown had met the Adams girl before that.I met a girl the same night, but after we got to our room I told Brown to lay off.I warned him that a woman would get him into trouble.\u201cWe came back here a few days ago, planning to pull another job.I knew Brown had telephoned the ( girl, but thought he would have sense enough to keep away.\u201cJust as I thought, he went to see her after I was caught, instead of getting away.It didn\u2019t surprise me when I heard they had him, but I was sorry to hear he was dead.I would have gone that way if it would have saved his life.\u201cI\u2019ve got twenty-five and some lashes waiting for me in Kingston.No, we didn\u2019t rob any of the customers in the St.Paul bank.I never rob women.\u201d The famous Polish general.Joseph Haller, was welcomed at Los Angels recently by Pola Negri.Rebels Are Within Sixty Miles Of Mexico City-Claim To Have Captured Puebla And Cuautla-Obregon
