FRENCH MAY CONFISCATE
PROPERTY OF GERMANS
Proposed as Measure of Retaliation
Because of Enforced War
Loan Subscriptions.

PARIS, September 1.-The question has
been raised in official circles what the
French government should do in the
way of reprisals for enforced subscrip-
tions to German war loans from prop
critics of French citizens which have
been sequestered in Germany. One ex-
ample cited is the case of NJ. Haeffie,
proprietor of spinning mills at Geb-
weller, in Alsace. NJ. Haeffie is a French
citizen. He departed with the French
army upon it's retirement in August
of last year.
The official German receiver of his
properties is said to have subscribed
100000 marks (S25,000) to the first Ger
man war loan, placing it against the
personal property of NJ. Haeffle, and an
additional 100000 marks against the
spinning mills. When the second war
loan was raised the receiver is said
to have subscribed 5000 marks more,
placing it as an obligation upon the
mills. Notwithstanding the fact that
two-thirdS of the shares off the com
pany owning the mills are held in
France.
The French government has SequeSt
cred German properties in France of
values probably exceeding 100000 900
francs (S20,000,000) Hitherto these
properties have been protected care
fully but it is now being considered
whether part should not be taken
as penalty for the confiscation of
French property in Germany by means
of forced loans.

WELSH STRIKE SETTLED
Miners Accept Terms at General
Conference in
Cardiff.

LONDON, September 1.-The terms OF
settlement of the troubles in the South
Wales coal fields which were arranged
yesterday in London, thus averting
possible more serious strike of the
operatives, were accepted today at a
general conference of the miners
delegates, held in Cardiff. The diff
culties are, therefore, now definitely
adjusted. There was some opposition
among the delegates to the acceptance
of the terms agreed upon at the Lon
don conference, but this was soon
overcome.
There were additions early today to
the numh Der of men on strike in the
coal fields. but these workers quit be-
fore the holding of the Cardiff con-
ference, and their walkout was at
tributed to the fact that the men did
not learn of yesterdays developments

previous decision to lay down their

There have appeared in the newspa-
