FRANCE MAY END
M0DERAT|ONP POLICY
u. S. Stand Causes Loss of
Hope of Peacefully Set

BY PAUL SCOTT MowRER.

PARIS, France. April THE crys-
tallization of the American foreign
policy into the formula mo league
and no treaty. seems 10 French lead
ers to remove the last hope of set
tlement of the reparations question
by peaceful means.
So long as the possibility remained
that the United States. by taking an
active interest in the European war
settlements would bring moral pres
sure to bear to make Germany pay,
the French. on the whole. were averse
to using force against Germany This
possibility has now vanished.
Axxurancex to Vivianf.
Rene Viviani has been assured by
practically-ai4 of the republican lead
ers. including President Harding, that
the United States will under no cir
cumstances join the league. and viii
not ratify the treaty of Versailles. 1t
is declared that Secretary Hughes in
ciines somewhat toward a compro-
mise solution. but Senators Knox.
Lodge and Borah, and even President
Harding are opposed to any compro-
mise whatever. Paris is told. Unless
the republican party be split all of
It's representatives must Ioilo~ tHeSt
extremists. II is believed here.
NJ Viviani has been SO struck bv
the passionate feeling of Americans
on both sides of the league of nations
question that he has compared it to
the state of mind in France during
the Dreyfus affair: In any case his
mission has served it's purpose. He
has made it clear to the United States
that France cannot envisage the dis
solution of the league of nations or
it's dissertation from the treaty. and
has apparently ascertained beyond all
question the intention of the new ad-
ministration in Washington to pro-
fess a policy of disinterestedness in
European affairs
On Her Own Resources.
Thus the entire situation changes.
France. while making every endeavor
to retain American sympathy. is
thrown back on her own resources
and intends to act accordingly.
Between now and May l nothing
will be done, but if by the latter date
Germany has not fulfilled the terms
of the treaty regarding disarmament.
the trial of the war criminals and
reparations France will prepare to
enforce what she considers her rights.
OF this much Premier BRAND has
given the senate absolute assurance.
An effort will be made to cooperate
closely With Britain, but if the latter
should refuse this co-operation. the
writer has the impression that France
Will proceed alone to some such meas
ures as the occupation of the Ruhr
region and more. too. if necessary.
Fpr months now France has been
pursuing policy of moderation.
Practical results are nil. To expect
this moderation to continue in4efinite-

SAGE TEA DANDY TO DARKEN HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe To Bring Bring Back Color and
 Lustre To Hair

You can turn gray, faded hair into beautifully dark and lustrous almost over night if you'll get a bottle of ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" at any drug store. Mil lions of bottles of this old famous Sage Tea Recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, are sold annually, says a well-known druggist here, because it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that no one can tell it has been applied.
 Those whose hair is turning gray or becoming faded have a surprise awaiting them, because after one or two applications the gray hair van ishes and your locks become luxur- iantly dark and beautiful.
 This is the age of youth. Gray haired, unattractive folks aren't wanted around, so get busy with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound tonight and you'll be de lighted with your dark, handsome hair and your youthful appearance within a few days.
