FRANCE ALSO FAVORS
ARMAMENT MEETING

Paris, July 12.-The French gov.
ernment will accept with pleasure
and without reserve an invitation to
conference on the limitation of ar.
maments. This is stated in a letter
sent to the American embassy here
by the government this morning for
President Harding.
Premier BRAND later announced
publicly in the Chamber Of Deputies
that the government would eagerly
accept such an invitation.
The premier expressed thanks to
President Harding for ''his noble ini-
tiative," while the chamber broke in
to cheers. .... .H..
Sheldon Whitehouse, counsellor of
the American embassy, said this af-
ternoon that the reply Of the French
government had been cabled to
Washington during the morning.
There was as yet no indicataion, he
added, when the formal invitation
would be presented to France.
It was said at the foreign Office
that Premier BRAND probably would
represent France at the proposed con.
ference if circumstances permit it,
and that whoever was sent would go
with the idea of cooperating whole
heartedly in any scheme for disarma-
ment compatible with the security Of
France. ~.

second clause of Article III of the
Versailles treaty together with Ar
ticles ~ and 13 which provide for
reference to the League of "any cir
cumstances affecting international
relations threatening peace"
George Harvey, representative Of
the United States, in the council
meeting, did not take any position
relative to referring the question to
the League, according to q French
official. 1t is asserted his opinion
was not asked.
1t was learned that Premier BRAND
proposed to Lloyd George that the
United States be asked to arbitrate
the Silesian controversy, but the pro-
posal was abandoned in favor of the
British premier's suggestions. Harvey
told the council this morning that the
United States government had
thought from the beginning that the
upper Silesian question was a purely
European one and as IL will now be-
referred to the League or Nations on
which the United States is not repre-
sented, he thought he would be in
terpreting the view of his government
by not participating in the decision.
On the question of additional
troops for upper Silesia, the supreme
council adopted in principle the plan
of sending reinforcements after the
league had handed down its decision
on the Silesian question, Great Brit
ain, France and Italy each to send
share.
Just before Lloyd George left the
council, Solicitor General Polk and
Commander Ta'cott, British delegates
to the trials Of persons accused of
war crimes and tried at Leipsig by a
German court, appeared before the
council and presented a report which
stated it was considered justice was
done in thetrials as regarded the Eng
lish cases with the exception that the
sentences were too light in one or two
cases, but that justice was not done
in the French and Belgian cases.

COUNTY PREPARES TO
TAKE UP ROAD WORK

Dancy said, "the repairs on the
Brownsville end of the road will be
made at the expense of the contract
tor. We are retaining S7r45.14 of
the contractors money, being the ten
per cent withheld on estimates, and
the expense of the repairs will be
paid for from this fund. We are
prepared TO secure the necessary ma
chinery to complete the contract on
the north end of the road, if such n
step is necessary"
Engineer Washington, he said, has
ben authorized to proceed with the
repair work when he is ready.
Referring to a statement by the
contractor that he was not respons-
ible for material, but only for con-
struction, Judge Dancy said that it
was up TO the contractor to reject any
material that was found unfit.
The county judge said that the
contractor halted repairs on the
Brownsville end Of the road as soon
as the county paid him a claim Of
S2271.5O.
The action of the county, Judge
Dancy said, is based on the following
paragraph in the general provisions
cf state highway specifications,
known as Article 3.15, and which
reads:
Responsibility Before Acceptance
All depressions, defects and imper-
fections which may become evident in
any portion of the roadway or struc-
lures before final acceptance of the
work by the engineer, whether due
to poor workmanship or material.
public travel, rains. snow, ice, frost
or other causes, shall be repaired and
made good by the contractor at his
own expense. Issuance of any esti-
mate on any part of the work done
shall not be considered as a final ac-
ceptance Of any work completed up
TO that time. The contractor shall
be required TO replace any portion of
any pavement adjoining the work
which may have suffered through his
operation and shall be left i'm n neat,
workmanlike manner, in good con-
dition equal to that obtaining before
the contractor started work.
In the meantime, work on the pro-
ject is at standstill.
