French conceptions of the principle of snces.
 NJ. Poincare and Mir. Lloyd ceorr. have an appointment; for meeting i13- mediate'y after the British cabinet coun- cil tomorrow.
 The British position. as expressed by AIT Lloyd George 10 N. Poincare dur ing today's conversation. is said to hzx. been something like this:
 Garmany is unable to nay. she ,s Tuineo. and an effort to squeeze lsrge sums from her would merely add to her oiiilcuities. without prohting the srIer and besides would delay the econouIs reconstruction of Europe. Germany ii was contended. must have leave to sus. Psnu ,sl, payments without hsmpering con- ohlons imposed upon her.
 The French viewpoint ss that C;srn,,r, stiil is economically powerful and abi, to pay great deal. but that she hsr assumed an sppesrance Of weakness which in fact does not exist. The French propose 10 give Germany a brief mora. iorium to see if she .s willing to prornor, reforms in her official finance and c,,-. reney and apply productive measure, which would yield the means to pay he ] reparations.
 Mir. Lloyd George first suggested a moratorium until the end of 1929. bu, later modified this to the end of 1898 The belief Of M Poincare fs thai a moratorium 10 the end of September would suffice

AMERICAN JAR ASSOCIATES
 CONVEN ES IN SAN FRANCISCO

San Francisco, Aug. 9.--Tne kcyi.1ts address at the opening of the annual American Bar association convention here today was made by Fred Dumont Smith of Kansas, who explained the at tempt of the Kansas industrial court to settle controversies between labor and capital
 MT. Smith said that the industrial courts procedure was entirely different from arbitration board and inevitably resulted in diplomatic peace with terms dictated by the. strongest power.
 'oThe two main factors on which our law rests are public peace and public safety he said When a strike threat ems either of these, thi scourt begins 10 function. It unearths all the causes which led up to the dispute"
 One result of the operation of the law, he said, was that Kansas City was the only city where last winters strike of packing house employees was not at tended by violence, and another that trains were running on time, raiiroa'l shops were in operation and coal was being mined despite the railroad and coal strikes.
 Kansas looks with equnanimity to next winters coal situation" he said "Our law declares food fuel and clothing are necessities of life,'' the sneaker explained, and although the right to strike is not denied, we forbid anyone to conspire to threaten Sa3 public peace or health"
 Next winter, according to the speaker Kansas hopes to take the election oi i judges of the industrial court still furth CT out of politics by transferring th'
 appointive power from the governor tt
 the state supreme court.
