LONDON. Nov. 13.-M. Poincare, for

at great length through the Temps 10

him through the English press fort
night ago regarding the ruinous eff
fects of the French policy upon
Europe. In writing hat letter had
no hostility toward France. To the
contrary. for the interests OF Franco
are as much bound up with the gen
eral recovery of Europe as are the
Interests of England and italy.
pointed on; the French policy was
preventing that recovery by fomenting
war against Russia by working foI
the dismemberment OF Germany, by
aiming at setting up System OF petty
military alliances Throughout Europe
and by denying TO Germany admission
to The Learue of Nations.
NJ Poincare does not meet these ac-
cusations. He attempts to justify
France He seizne upon this sen ence
in my article: 1--WE (the Eng'ish) wish
to trade with Germany, and in order
to trade we must be friends" And h"
retorts: He (Mr Gardiner) thinks

in Geneva the attitude of the gov
erning forces In France is unchanged
whatever public opinion on the part OF
the French people may be.
Vet nothing is clearer than that the
French policy has collapsed: that Its
ursuit can only end in leaving Franc

Two things are absolutely vital II
Europe is TO get on her feet One is
peace with Russia: the other Is fixing

Russian granary is opened up the des-
perate food situation IN Europe cannot
be relieved and the slump in trade
cannot be checked. And until the
German indemnity is fixed and trade
with Russia is resumed there can be
no approach to a stabilized exchange.
France stands resolutely opposed to
these two remedies. Her protege

Crop Conditions
in Tennessee

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 16.-
Following is summary of the wealth
err and crop conditions in Tennessee
for the week ending July 13:
Beneficial showers occurred pref
ty generally. In some localities rain
is needed, while in few spots it was
too wet. On the whole the week was
favorable. Good progress was made,
by all crops and farm work is gen.
orally well up. A large percentage
of the corn is late, but tits nearly all
in good condition and growing well.
Tcsseling and silking are noted in
many fields. Cotton is blooming
pretty generally, though a good per-
centage of this crop is also late, Cot
ton looks well almost without eXcep-
ton and has improved very much in
the last three weeks. While the
nights were a little cool for it this
week. the moisture and cultural con-
ditions were excellent. Good prog
ress was made in threshing wheat
Tobacco, white potatoes, sweet pota-
toes, peanuts, peas and beans for hay
all did well. The conditions were ia
vorabie for saving hay and work was
active in this line. Garden crops,
peaches and apples did well. The
peach crop is scattered, but in some
places it is good.
