PARIS, April 13.-While comment
in the leading Paris journals is still
sparse, 1t is already apparent that the
keynote of French sentiment regard
ing President Harding's message to
Congress is that 1t more than fulfills
the expectations of the French gov
ernment and people.
Officials did not conceal their sat
isfaction over the declaration con-
cerning "just reparations." which is
the subject uppermost in all French
minds. They also hail Mr.. Harding's
statement concerning Germany's re-
sponsibility for the war and his ex-
planation that a separate peace be-
tween America and Germany must
not be misconstrued.
Pertinax, who is the only one com
menting at length this morning, says
the speech sounds the death knell OF
the League of Nations.
France has wasted enough time
over the league" he adds, "and over
mistaken policies toward America.
It Is time to remedy the situation and
to send to Washington men who are
capable of clarifying the situation"

But Derodi hadn't spilled the
beans regarding Maurice. He is too
discreet for that He only whisper
ed the name of this correspondent to
few intimates. These promptly
"kidded" the dancer to their hearts
content-and to the mystification of
the rest of the gay crowd.
There was little dancing after the
divorce news sensation had been
sprung. Gossip was the order OF the
wee small hours. Whent daybreak
came the throng dispersed. greedily
snatching the morning papers from
the news stands.
Peggy Hopkins was frequently seen
at various dancing clubs in the COM
pany of Henri Letellier, former edi-
tor OF lie Journal, who is also mem
toned by Joyce as a correspondent.
Generally there were also two or three
younger male dancers with them, Le-
TELLER buying wine for the bunch"
at SIS per bottle.
Peggy, who created sensation after
sensation with her daring gowns,
usually of the super-decollette type,
was often called the best shimmy
dancer In Paris.
At the Glover Club" one night she
dance with an Englishman introduced
to her by the editor, she exclaimed:

mire Americans aud Frenchmen.-
Until she returned from Biarritz
she wore $4,000 necklace. After
that 1t was not seen again.

his former dancing patrner, fatty de-
MES all allegations by Joyce. Said he:
II danced with Peggy in London and
d eauville, but / never met her out
side the ballroom. In fact, once, in

Joyce when Peggy insisted on dancing
with a man whom JoJyce disliked.

DIVORCE NEWS sTIRs CLUB.
News'o the Joyces' divorce action
added a spectacular touch to the open
ing night of the new exclusive dane
ing club in the Ruecarten, given by
Maurice himself. The dance had
issued specially engraved invitations
to French, American, and English
members of the select dancing set of
which Peggy, too, was one of the con-
spicuous members while she was in
Paris. Indeed, she never missed a
night.
On the program were several new
dances by Maurice and mis- new
partner, Leonora Hughes, amid
spectacular lighting effects. The
dance was given in the ballroom of
the Hotel Grande, Bretagne, which
swarmed with smartly dressed women
and men in evening clothes.
Among the guests were the Prin-
cess OF Thurn and Taxis, the Duchess
de Grammont; Fanny Ward. Anthony
Drexel, Princess Michael Murat, Ell
sic Janis, Peter Cooper Hewitt. the
Maharajah of kapurthala, and Mrs.
Rodney Wanamaker.
The Russian orchestra had just
finished a dreamy tango. 1t was 4
o'clock in the morning. Suddenly the
telephone rang. A morning newspa-
per called up the hotel manager, NJ.
Derodl, a former Chicagoan, to tell
him the news. He stepped to the mid

mand that Panama accept the

The refusal of the Panamanian gcv-

tanned in a formal reply to Secretary

OF which was announced at the State
Department. today.
While there was no official an
nouncement as to the next step to be
takensby this Government to enforce
its demand. 1t was indicated that tn :
State Department is not in a concili-
atory mood in the matter. The log.
ical next step would be for the United
States to send an "ultimatum" setting
y definite time limit for the Pana-
manian government to comply, and
in, the event OF noncompliance to ac-
cept the consequences. That those
consequences would embrace inter-
vention there is little doubt.

point.
The dispute between Panama and

BIG 8 CALLS

Railway Men and Transport
Workers Will Join Miners
In WaIkout.
By EARLE c. REEVES
Internat tional News Service.

LONDON, April 13.-The. triple
alliance has ordered its members
to go on strike at 10 o'clock Fri
day night.
j. H. Thomas, executive head of
the national railwaymen, made this
announcement shortly before noon
today. Strike orders have gone
out to the railmen and transport
workers to walkout at the appoint
ed time in support Of the miners,
who have rejected the settlement
basis offered by the Governmnt
and the mine owners yesterday.
100000 MEN AFFECTED.
Together with the miners, the rail-
men and transport workers constitute
the triple alliance, directly controlling
approximately 4,00O,000 workers. Be-
sides. about 1000 900 other workers.
engaged in industries absolutely de-
pendent upon the alliance. will be
made jobless by the strike, SO that by
the end of the week the United King
dom will see 100000 workers idle
Shortly after the triple alliance or-
der was made known, the organizs-
ton of engineers, clerks. and cleo
tricians formally notlfied the alliance
that they are ready to join the strike
the moment they are asked to do so.
A strike of these workers would add
265,O00 to the total of idle employees
as follows: Kngineers and firemen,
$4,000; clerks, 10000; electricians.
100000.
OTHER UNIONS WOULD JOIN.
The strike, which now can be avert
ed only by an eleventh-hour backdowr
by one side or the other. would be the
most gigantic and most complete IN
the history Of Europe. with the pos
sible exception of the German general
strike in 1918, which led to the col
lapse of Kaiserism and the creation
Of a republic.
Thomas followed his strike an.
nouncement with the statement that
applications are being received by
other unions to join the strike
These applications, he said, are being
considered.
The press welcomed the fact that
another three days breathing SPELL
Is left in which negotiations may pos
sibly be resumed.
Railway managers do not believe
there will be a strike.
