PARIS, July 16. - Faced with
the possibility of a cessation OF all
cash payments from Germany -
both as to reparations and pre-war
commercial debts contracted with
individuals in allied countries -
France is now turning to the wies-
baden agreement, hoping to get
coal and other raw materials in
place OF the gold which apparently
cannot be collected for some time,
at least.
1t is understood the French gov
ernment is demanding the wies-
baden agreement, which provides
for reparations in kind. be made
effective Immediately. However, 1t
Is not likely that the agreement
will become operative until later.
Meanwhile. pessimists, already
gloomy over the probability of a

Of collecting in goods arguing that

was denounced by Voliva for stopping
in saloons for a drink of water when
pumps were available.
The sensation of the day came
when a travelling man told how,
when marooned in a small town, he
had attended a motion picture show.
'Terrible" shouted Voliva. "I was

SOVIETS ENDEAVOR

ELECTROMAGNETIC
Ask Total Compensation
Desired for All Nation
allied Properties.

THE HAGUE. July 1e.-while the
allied and neutral delegates devoted
the Sabbath to golf around the canals
and sand dunes, the Russians put
their heads together and framed q
letter to NJ. Patyn. president of the
non-Russian commission. in an effor:
to resurrect the conference. which
though oficially dead. is disturbing
its heirs and embalmers by kicking
in its coffin.
The latter again defines the Boil
sheviks' attitude in a way calculated
to make the Russian, peasant on one
hand think they are standing pat. and
the allied and neutral delegates be c.
1ieve that NJ Litvinoff is receding on
every point responsible for the rup
ture.
The letter, which will be forwarded
tomorrow. comes as an answer to a
letter from NJ. Patyn Informing NJ.
Litvinoff that the debts subcommis-
sion sees no further use for continI-
ing negotiations. but announces that
II is not too late yet for the Russians
to put forward new proposals.
The Russians letter begins by
asking the allies and neutrals to
state the total amount of compen-
sation desired for nationalized prop
critics, which they agree to pay as
far as possible. The Russians de-
manded to know the extent of
claims before, and now they say
that the allies and ncutrals fear to
answer because the amount is so
staggering. exceeding the German
reparation figures, that even America
would see the necessity of slashing
the figures from so to as per cent.
The letter avoids using the word
Credit" but 1t again asserts that
Russia's ability to meet its obliga-
tians depends upon help received
from outside countries. 1t asks that
II the countries are willing to help
in reconstruction. how far they are
prepared to go to this end. 1t care
fully explains the reason for de-
string to know the extent of claims
against Russia is SO the Bolshe viks
can arrange a system for payment.
A recommendation is made that
Russia be permitted to settle spri-
vate claims with private holders,
agreeing to consider the claimant
according to category instead of in
dividually. The Bolsheviks promise
that. 30 per cent of the claims can
be settled privately to the satis-
faction of private holders. agreeing
to arbitrate the other 10 per cent
which cannot be settled otherwise

POLL SHOWS 2 TO |

Slight Majority Opposing Sol

In Vote.

NEW YORK, July Is. Popular
sentiment on prohibition, as indi-
Gated by the first $4,000 votes tab
ulated in a nationwide poll by the
Literary Digest, is to 1 against
the enforcement of the present law
according to the first installment of
the returns, published in the cur
rent issue.
On the question of a soldiers
bonus, the votes in a similar poll,
conducted simultaneously and un-
der the same auspices. the returns
show slight majority for the anti
bonus voters, although the differ
ence Is so slight that a single days
returns may swing the balance
either way.
The voters who favor some sort
of a prohibition law are in the
majority, to 1, but the greater
part of them favor a modification
of the Yolstead law to permit light
wines and beers.
The amendment itself" the Di-
gest concludes. "is attacked only by
a minority of fewer than 1 In 8 of
those whose votes have been count
ed thus far. 1t is the Volstead law
that is chiefly under fire.

Fire Similar to One
Week Ago.

NEW YORB- July 16.-Panic
stricken passengers fought with
subway guards this afternoon on
several trains between S6th and
10th streets in the Lexington
avenue subway when a short cir
cult in one of the cars caused a
fire similar to that in which 800
persons were "gassed" by fire ex-
tinguisher fumes last week. Many
received minor injuries in their
dash for the doors, men fighting
with women and children in their
panic to escape from what they
believed was to be a repetition Of
the last subway catastrophe.
After forcing guards to open the
doors so that they could rush for
emergency exits and subway sta
tions, men. women and children
risked their lives in the dimly
lighted subway as they stumbled
near the third rail at the side OF
the tracks on which they fled to
emergency exits and nearest sta
tions.
Only one of the hundreds who
were caught in the blocked trains
received serious injuries.
