among the various Allies, and divergent
interests have produced some misun-
derstandings. l hope that these will
soon be dissipated. The conversations
M. Loucheur had in London, of which
he spoke to us here, mark real prog
ress. In any case shall strive in fu-
ture negotiations among the Allies to
see that Begium acts as an inter-
mediary between the divergent ma

whose harmony is one of the essential
guarantees of world peace. Concerning
the German payments, we cannot admit
of further delay. 1t is not question
OF moratorium. Germany must exc
cute these payments"
Anglo-French Harmony Vital
The political aspect of the chances
OF France and Great Britain agreeing
on some immediate remedy in the repa-
rations crisis was presented in bold re-
lief here to-day, when Lord Derby was
q guest at luncheon rendered to at
least hundred distinguished French
men, including members of the Cabinet,
admirals, generals and officials, at
which the necessity Of Franco-British
harmony was stressed. The speeches
dwelt on this point not only from the
point of view of the desrability of
close relations between the two coun-
tries, but of their immediate necessity.
Lord Derby in his speech declared
that England must give France guar
ties for her security, while France
reciprocally must concede to England
her firm help in relieving England's 5
distressing economic situation.
II am living in the very center of
England" said Lord Derby, "and if YOU
could come with me dare say YOU
would find your devastated areas a
comparatively comforting view. In
your devastated areas everybody is
working. In ours everybody is unem-
ployed. Town after town is in q state
Of lethargy;. England cannot endure
this forever"
PARIS, Dec. Ia (By The Associated
Press).-France is willing temporarily
to forego cash reparations payments
from Germany, high official in the
French Foreign Office to-day told The
Associated Press.
This official said there was general
recognition by the press and in French
officialdom that Germany must be aided,
and possibly compelled, in setting her
financial house in order if future in
demnity payments were to be forth
coming.

With Czecho-SIovakia

The League of Nations News Bur.
reau, with offices in the Woolworth
Building, yesterday announced that it
had received notice of an agreement
between Poland and Czecfo- -Slovakia ia
submit all their future differences To

justice recently set up by the League
Of Nations for arbitration.
According to the news bureau Czeeho-
Slovakia will shortly present the full
text of her treaty with Poland to the
league for registration and publication
. "a Al general gems raj agreement" says the
vakia and Poland, following on the
settlement, of the Teschen DISPUTE
between them, is expected to lead
to closer relations between these
two. states. This, together with the
final elimination Of the Hapsburgs in
Hungary, the narrowing of the dispute
between the Poles and Lithuanians
over Wilma and the complete settlement
Of the Upper Silesian dispute between
Germany and Poland, the last two
under the auspices Of the League of
Nations, seems to give promise that
some Of the most serious difficulties in
Eastern Europe are gradually being
overcome"
Czecho. .Slovakia also has notified the
league that it will establish an Office
in Geneva so as to be in closer touch
with league developments.

N. Y. U. to Appraise
Place Students Wrecked
Should Have known Better
Than to Entertain Fresh
men. Saws Professor

An official appraiser will be ap-
pointed to ascertain the exact amount
Of damage caused by the freshmen of
New York University in Schray's Au.
ditorium, where the class held their
dinner recently. Professor Hammond
Pride, of the department of mathe-
matics at the university, said the dam
age would not reach $1,000.
The appraiser will be paid by the
university. Professor Pride said the
wrecked piano could be made as good
as new for less than 5000. GAS for the
beer stems" he said, their probable
original cost was 20 cents apiece, but,
OF course, there is attached to them a
much greater value because of their
rarity.
"The management is to blame for
much of the damage, if not ALL" he as
serted. "In the first place, they made
no effort to prevent the fight. Then
they should have known better than to
allow a freshmen dinner in a room
where articles they considered valua-
BILE are resting" ~

lowed, but Never Spoke,
Arrested

Unrequited love landed Harry G.. An
derson, twenty eight typist, in prison
yesterday when ne pleaded guilty be-
fore Magistrate Renaud in Tombs
Court TO charge Of disorderly con-
duct. Anderson was arrested at the in
stigation of Miss Bessie Gitnik, a
stenographer, who said that for two
years he had followed her almost every
time she went out.
Anderson, tall blond youth of Swe-
dish descent, acknowledged that he had
frequently followed Miss Gitnik, and
was an ardent admirer of hers, al
though, according to her story, she had
never kept company with him, gone out
with him or allowed him to visit her.
Letters to Miss Gitnik from the de-
fendant were introduced as testimony,
one a6 which had apparently inclosed
dollar. Anderson explained that the
money had been sent as gift to pro-
pitiate obvious annoyance.
Both the magistrate and the patrol
man who arrested Anderson said that
they did not believe he was of the
"masher" type, an dthat they felt sorry
for him. He was remanded to the
Tombs for sentence Friday.
