FRANCE APPROVES
TEN-YEAR PEACE,
.RESERv|NG RIGHTS
Cabinet Decides to Accept
Non-Aggression Idea, but
With Reservation.
STANDS WITH BELGIUM.
French Will Not Sign Soviet
Memorandum Until Terms
Suit Neighbor.

PARIS, May (Associated Prcss)
The French Cabinet this afternoon
approved the text of the proposed
non -aggression\ agreement, under
consideration at Genoa, with the
reservation that it must not be in
terpreted as withdrawing from
France any rights she has under
treaties.
The Ministers spent the entire
morning session Of the Cabinet in
studying the text of the agreement
originally proposed by Prime Minister
Lloyd George and brought to Paris
by NJ. Barthou, head of the French
delegation at Genoa.
II was deemed necessary to make
reservations regarding the rights of
France to make use of the preroga-
lives conferred by the Treaty of Ver-
sailles for the military occupation of
German territory as a penalty for
non-f -fulfilment of the treaty.
With this reservation, the agree
ment was unanimously approved.
The form in which the reservation
will be presented at Geona was ex-
pected to be decided upon at another
meeting of the Cabinet.
Premier Poincare and NJ. Barthou
already are engaged in negotiations
with Premier Theunis as to the future
attitude of the French and Belgian
delegations at Genoa on Russian af-
fairs.
Until some way is found to satisfy
the Beleians, the French will refuse
to sign the memorandum TO Russia.
M. Barthou will leave Paris at II. 40
o'clock tomorrow morning for Genoa.

it looked as though there was no

Girard could see the ball resting on

wood. That surface concealed ten

The Sullivan boy had heard of that.
