FRANCE FIRM IN STAND
UPON ENFORCING TREATY
Note Warns Britain She Cannot
Waive German Confiscation
Clause Without Agreement.

PARIS. October 30.-Assertion is
made by the French government in
its reply to the British note announc-
ing Great Britain had decided to de-
nounce the right to confiscate Ger
man property in the United Kingdom
that the paragraph of the Versailles
treaty which Great Britain is prepar-
ed to waive is an integral part of the
convention, says the Petit Parisien.
The government holds. therefore,
that this or any other clause of the
treaty cannot be revised without a
parliamentary agreement between all
the signatories of the pact.
The note. the newspaper continued,
is couched in extremely courteous, but
firm language. and expresses the hope
an agreement between the nations on
the subject may be reached soon.

As Twig is Bent
 Still Good Adage

Topeka, Kan, April 21.--The old adage, "as the twig is bent, so is the tree inclined," was said by educators appearing before the International Kindergarten Union here, to have lost none of it's lustre through age. In addressing the convention, I. I. Cammack, superintendent of schools in Kansas City, Mo-, said:
 "Give the children the pleasure and power of doing things; guide them with the right principles and you are starting something in chill dren of tender years that will have fruition later on."
 The problem of making kinder gartens of more general establish ment in public schools must have it's solution in converting parents to the beneficial influence kindergartens have on small children's lives. A. I. Stout, superintendent of the Topeka public schools, said in an address.
 "When parents realize what chill dren are worth;' when they realize that children are not toys of their grown-up days, as dolls were the toys of their childhood, but realize

 "While I have been away l have thought over everything, and you, too, have had time to reflect. So am asking you to reconsider your decision not to return to me. If you will do so, 1 can assure you that nothing on my part will be wanting to make you happy"
 On the first day of last month the Duke replied:
 q have received your letter of the Fist, written on your return from the continent. As I wrote to you in December, when we parted. am con vinced that it is impossible for us to live happily together" Thereupon the Duchess commenced these proceedings.

 Sir Edward Carcon-"Did he make a suggestion at the interview ?" "Yes i that we should come together again.
 "And having talked the matter over, did you agree?" "Yes."
 After that, you went and lived together?" "Yes.", we staved with some friends in the country, and then went to my place in Sussex and stayed there until December 15.
 Left Letter for Her.
 The Duchess added that on Decem- Der 15 the Duke went to London, and left letter for her, not saying any thing about it beforehand. She wrote reply on December 15. Then she went away for time on the conti- nent,. and on her return. she wrote the letter of January 21, in which ] she asked him to reconsider his de. cision not to return, and assuring him that nothing on her part would be wanting to try and make him i happy.

and they were in certain sense upon friendly terms, although they never resumed living together. The younger child came of age in October, 1919, and thereupon the terms of the deed, as regarded the children, became inapplicable, and a correspondence was opened between Sir Charles Russell, solicitor for the Duchess, and Sir George Lewis, so- licitor for the Duke.
 On October 30. 1919, Sir Charles Russell addressed a letter to Sil George Lewis, in which he said that as the younger of the two sons had lately reached twentyone years, this brought up the matter of the deed of separation for further discussion The letter further said that the chil- tIren had still to be maintained, and some new agreement should be come to. and that the Duchess would pro- vide portion of the expenses if the Duke provided the remainder.
 In November, 1919. in the middle of the negotiations, the Duke wrote from Blenheim Palace:
 May l come to see you for hali an hour on any day convenient to vou? wish to discuss something about the boys which it is prefer able to do verbally rather than by letter."
 The Duchess replied:
 "In answer to your letter, l can see you on Friday next at o'clock if that suits you, or at 3:30 Ii more convenient.
 Parted Once More.
 They had meeting and it was suggested by the Duke that now that tbe boys had grown up and all that time had elapsed they might sec whether they could not mend the old differences. , The Duchess agreed and they livea together at Crowhurst, where the Duchess had a house. Meanwhile proceedings with the deed went on and on November 27 last, when they were living together, new deed was entered into which revoked the deef of 1907.
 The President (Sir Henry Duke)- Did it touch the question?
 Sir Edward Carson-No, my Lord it is simply for the benefit of th' children. ., .,
 Counsel, continuing. said that thu Duke and Duchess lived together fo short time, but on December l. last the Duke wrote, saying:
