PARIS, March 19.-Although a
lull appears on the surface of the
negotiations between the Allies and
Berlin for the payment of the Ger
man war bill, it is learned that un-
official negotiations are now going
on between business men of France
and Germany out of which some
wholly new scheme may arise on
which to base a settlement. The
governments of all the countries
concerned are Withholding action
pending the plebiscite tomorrow in
Silesia, but this inactivity has not
prevented the development of an
alternative plan that may be brought
before the Allied and German lead
ers at their next conference.
The negotiations which are under
way are said to provide for the
transfer to French interests of large
blocks of shares in enterprises in the
industrial region of Germany. 1t
may be possible, it is said, after the
Silesian plebiscite, to reopen the of
ticial negotiations between Berlin
and the Allies on the basis of this
new plan.
The belief is expressed that under
this arrangement the Allies would get,
among other things in the payment of
the war debt, an extensive interest in
the leading industries of Germany.
Inas -uch as France mas So per cent
interest in the matter of reparations
it is presumed that the Paris govern
ment will play a leading part in the
discussion of this arrangement.
The three problems now uppermost
in the mind of the French Cabinet are
reparations, the attitude of the United
States toward negotiations now under
way and the Near East. Premier
BRAND is understood to be highly sat
isfied with Frances position in all
three of these matters. France thinks
that she can hope definitely that the
United States will ratify the Treaty
of Versailles without the League Of
Nations covenant. America presume
bly, would safeguard the rights she
holds on the question of mandates, and
nothing in such a program is unac-
cepta BILE to France.
1t is understood here that America
has decided definitely to leave her
troops on the Rhine, and now the
French hope that even though the
United States government does not
actively assist in setting up the new
Rhineland customs frontier, ii will
make public declaration showing that
the scheme has the moral support Of
the Harding Administration.
PARIS, March 10 (By The Asso-
clated Press).-The occupation of the
Mulheim and Speldorf railway sta
tions in the Ruhr district of Germany
by French troops was simply further
step IN the plan adopted Y the Lon
don reparations conference, it was ex-
planned in official circles here to-day.
The stations command the an

sion was necessary to make the Allied

Professor and Wife Dismissed
Because of Advice on Morals
Dr. ana Mrs. Pahlow Quit Lawrenceville Suddenly
as Result of Her Discussions With
Boys Sex Matters

READING, Mass, March 19.-Profes-
sor Edwin w. Pahlow and his wife,
Gertrude Curtis Brown Pahlow. a nov
elist, were dismissed Tuesday on eight
days. notice from the faculty of Law
rcnceville School, in New Jersey. one
of the best known prep schools in the

Her husband. who is in Princeton,
N. j., has SO far refused to discuss the
affair. Authorities at the school also
have refused to say anything about it.
Mrs. Pahlow gave her version of It to-
day and is the first in the field. She
asserted that an evil construction had
been put upon "motherly" advice
which she had given to the bows in her
charge, and that the stigma Of having
led them astray morally was impressed 4
upon her by the secrecy with which
the dismissal has been surrounded.

Capital Hears With Interest
of Ex French Premier's
Start for U. S., but Doubts
Reports Preceding Him
Present Covenant Unlikely
President Is Not Inclined to
Consider 1t, Even With
Article X Eliminated
By Carter Field

WASHINGTON, March 19-Washing
ton is waiting with the keenest inter
est the arrival of Rene Viviani, former
Premier of France, who sailed for the
United States to-day. Rumors here
and abroad have been many, but there
IS no positive information as TO lust
what course Viviani will pursue when
he discovers what is we'll known here
that President Harding's ideas about
his much talked Of association of ma
tions are very clear and definite as to
limitations
1t may be said that the President
probably as a result of his long talk
with Ambassador Jusserand at the
time the visit of Viviani was an
nounced, has already yielded somewhat
to the French entreaties. The instruc-
tions to the American unofficial mem
bers of the reparations commission to
remain in Paris as observers. an
nounced by the State Department to-
day, and the discovery that there is to
be no rush to put through the Knox
resolution declaring an immediate
state of peace with Germany, are un-
doubtedly concessions to the French.
Won't Embarrass France
They mean that Mr.. Harding does
not intend to embarrass the French in
their drive to force Germany to comply
with the reparations agreement by
having the United States conclude
peace with Germany, thereby with
drawing, as the French see it, all pos
sible moral support
But despite this concession, there is
no doubt here that the President will
remain as firm as ever in his determi-
nation that in any association of ma
tons which may be formed there can
be no supreme authority which can i'm
pose even moral obligation on this
country to take any action of which its
Congress does not approve at the time.
Mr.. Harding has asserted again and
again, making it clear even in his in
augural address. that this country
must be free to pass on any given aues-
ton when it arises, and Judge it en-
t1rely on its merits as seen here, ire
spective of the opinion of the repre-
sentatives of other countries to the
associations of nations. He believes
III th' Woil0 court ldea, but the deci-
slons OF the world court in each case
would be mere recommendations. They
would carry no legal and no moral OBJ
legation on this country to observe
them.
Reports Discounted
The reports from Paris, therefore.
that the United States might approve
the present covenant of the League of
Nations if Article X were eliminated.
and that thisis what Vivani is to ask,
are very largely discounted here. In
the first place, it is known that the
French were never as enthusiastic
about the League of Nations as were
some of the other countries, notably
England. Yet British statesmen have
made 1T clear that they would be per-
