PARIS, Aug. IS tdelayed) The Anglo
Persian treaty continues TO be the topic
of the day in French and Peace Con-
ference circles, the French discussing
especially the probable effect of the
agreement upon French interests in
Syria.
The Echo de Paris, which is credited
with rejecting the views of the French
peace delegation, publishes the full text
of the Anglo1Persian agreement and in
its comment says:
III these stipulations do not consti-
tute most complete protectorate then
words have lost their meaning. Doubt
less nowhere Is a formal protectorate
mentioned, and doubtless a clause an
nounces the independence and full in
tegrity of Persia. but the substance OF
the agreement will fool no one
A strong party in the French Cham
Der of Deputies is advocating the ex-
tension of French influence IN Syria.
Henry Franklin Bouillon has given no.
tice to President Deschanel that he will
-nterpolate the Government on the ques-
ton when the Chamber meets again on
August 26.
The French press do"s use the word
''protectorate" in connection with French
Influence in Syria. The papers argue
that from time immemorial France has
had great interests in Syria, and claim
that until such time as Syria is able
TO govern herself France should be desig-
mated to afford her such financial help
as she needs to help her through her
period of formation.

ordered help up by General Pershing
yesterday, and who was ordered to
report to Camp Funton for duty, has
been granted a fifteen-day leave of
absence and has gone to his home in
Lexington, Mo, according to a dis
patch from Camp Funston.
The fact that Ristine was granted
leave of absence is understood to
mean that he will be retained in ma
tional service for some time.
The War Department yesterday de-
MED the rumor that Ristine was be-
ing held in the army on account of
certain remarks he has made with re-
gard to the regular army and the Ma

held up pending the arrival of fur
ther information from General Perish

Ristine, who was in Kansas City
