(By Central Fre?s.)
PARIS. France May 13.— When
|)m British parliament reconvenes on
lUy 27 Finance Minister Feret of
Plane* will probably place before it
for ratification the agreement re-
lOStJy signed with the United States
f present plans materialize.
the terms upon which United
States and France settled their debt
doaely resemble those tentatively
proposed to England by M. Caillaux
itipulating a payment of $12500000.
Many Englishmen believe this figure
Sould be higher.
The French hope to gain from
Jlniand the safeguard clause which
the^ United States refused them—
that of absolving France from pay-
ment if Germany in turn docs not
ny France.
Furthermore they feel that Uncle
Sam. who ptofessed great friend-
ihip during the late war. is treating
them shabbily by insisting upon pay
ment of the war debt. Many papers
have denounced what they term the
“meicenary attitude” of the United
States and comment indicates that
ratification will be secured only
with difficulty.
The -Presse" says: “Briand will
have a hard time in the chamber to
find a majority who will vote an
agreement which makes us pay tiib-
ute to the United States for 42
years.”
Other publications predict when
France can no longer pay the
1 United States will demand the An-
tilles Indo-('hina or other colonies.
An editorial writer on the “Echo
de Paris" claims "It is a bad con-
tract. It gives America and will
give England a terrible hold on us
which will put France in a posi-
tion of inferiority until the end of
the century.”
Only one paper "The Matin”
urges speedy ratification.

year sits at his home here and
dwells in the past. His hair is white
and a growth of silver whiskers en-
circles his face yet he still roads
without his glasses and walks with-
out a cane.
Present polities are no longer the
prime interest in his life. He likes
J to lapse into reverie and recall the
days when he was a power among

sulted by party leaders.
Today he has practically no con-
tact with official Washington. Oc-
casionally he tunes in on its broad-
casting stations as he sits in an arm.
chair in Danville.
The old fire is gone and vital is-
sues no longer stir him to oratory.
He says such matters as the world
court and prohibition arc for young
men to decide.
Yet one feels that the old man
could still make a stump s- eech or
tw’o if the occasion demanded. In
fact he insists he will campaign j

Skyscrapers Barred
cn Unter Den Linden
BERLIN. May ir>.—"No skyscrapers
for Enter den Linden" is the slogan
proposed by the Berlin Building
Commission.
The City Counoti instituted a prize
contest for the best plan to **-con
struct the well known boulevard so as
to adapt it to modejii requirements
without robbing it c>P its general his-
torical ; pert. Even the best of the
plans were so fantastic that the alter-
ation originally intended was given
up. The commission compromised by
incre-i. ing the maximum height of
buildings on Enter den Linden from
sixty to eighty feet.
REBEL FORCE
(Continued fnm Tag'* ’.)
for the government to take pre-
cautionary measures to defend the
city of Warsaw. Berlin reports that
many persons have been killed or
wounded in street fighting in War-
saw.
Advices from the Polish eapitol say
that machine guns have been placed
on top of government buildings and
that troops loyal to the government
are guarding the bridges and lines
o. communication.
Whether Marshal Piisudski is
leading the revolt to install himself
as dictator or merely is injecting a
military operation into the political
situation to bring the left parties
back into office is not yet clear. Be-
yond a statement sent out by the of-
ficial Polish agency which' claims
that the government is master of the
situation no direct news has been
received from Warsaw either owing
to the usual habit in Poland of put-
ting on a ecnsorshiji when grave
events are in progress of because one
or the other of the contending par-
ties has cut the wires and put the
radio out of commission.
Such news as has neon received in
Paris has come mostly by way of
Berlin and consequently it is be-
lieved to be subject to caution. Ac-
cording to the version of the situa-
tion current in the German capitoi
Marshal Piisudski at the head of a
considerable force has virtually
driven the Polish government to bay
and is dictating terms to the presi-
dent of the republic.
Another version coming by way of
Prague Czecho-Slovakia tends rather
to hour out the Polish official state-
ment which represents Marshal Pii-
sudski as being at the head of a
small force and as having been
checked by government troops.
Piisudski has been in opposition to
the government ever since the min-
istry of Premier Witos in 1923 elim-
inated him from the army and it is
regarded here as quite likely that
the return of Witos to power in suc-
cession to Premier Skrznski. with
the government made up of adher-
ents of the center and right parties
goaded Piisudski into trying to carry i
out a military coup.
