French Reply ON British
Indemnity Plan Is Ready

PARIS. Oct. 18 (By The Associated
yvss).-The reply Of the French gov
smnent to the British reparations pro-
nsals calling for two to four year
mosatoriuna for Germany has been
dawn up by NJ. Barthou and presented
ii Premier Poincare for approval.
Though details are withheld until the
scheme is presented to the commits
SIGN late in the week, the chief fea-
tare is firm insistence upon further
and more rigid control Of German
finances before any relief is granted
bg the commission.
M Barthou, in preparing the reply,
htd the assistance Of the best French
experts, and the Premier will go over
Ae suggestions with the ministers OF
finance and liberated regions.
The reply virtually rejects the
British proposition, as announced by
Sir John Bradbury, and offers in its
place substitute which deals much
less leniently with Germany. Stress Is
laid on the necessity of Brussels
conference and Of some general under
shading on intcr-Allied debts and the
whole ssparatiens question before Jan
uray |.
tt Is thought that the French gov
sfnment will reserve it's broader plan
!or z settlement Of debts and indemni-
si aes Tor the Brussels meeting, limiting
sae commission merely to the applica-
Won OF future control Of finances in
Germany.

WASHINGTON. oct. i8. i8.-apresident

TO one from the President, written Sep

Ing tnat ne was opposed to general
amnesty but would consider every
case on it's merits, declined to grant
q second hearing to a committee fa-
voring liberation OF all war prisoners.
In his letter the President said in
part: s.
"I think I have already made ii

during the inspection.
Mr.. Edison first was escorted to the

shown the process Of making Tungsten

Probably the most spectacular dem
most picturesque, as It brought Ed;son
and Charles p. Steinn1ets together, was
the staging in Mr.. Steinmetz's labora-
tories of one Of his now famous Eight
ming shows" Mr.. Edison was so inter
ested that it required several repeti-
tlons to satisfy him, in one of which
ne checkmated some insulator shatter-
ing by. having one insulator placed
above the other.
During the demonstrations tho two
electrical wizards kept up a running
on technical points. with q little ''josh-
ing" thrown in. On the rest of the
tour Mr.. Edison was chiefly interested
IN the mercury boiler"
II never thought that water was the
best for steam power" he told W. L. r.
Emmet, inventor OF the boiler.
Following the tour and plant lun-
cheon given him and hia. early associ-
ates, Mr.. Edison was interviewed.
"It AL is very remarkable layout. !.
he said. "Some OF the things I have
seen am quite familiar with, and some
am not.
II am surprised at the success at
tanned by Coolidge with his tungsten
lamp filament. I was not successful in
my experiments with SO rebellious a
metal, and ! would not have thought
his results possible thirty years ago.
1t goes to show that if you want thing
bcd enough, and will stick to it,. you'll
get it. had great many other
things TO, do. and ! could not stick to
my tungsten experiment.
"The mercury boiler interested me
greatly. think there is something in
that. But it Is like playing poker with
all blue chips--a risky business-be-
cause Of the question of commercial
value. However, like what call
gambling research You've got to
gamble at times il you are to get any

He expressed himself as highly in

snd at the same time declared that he
mad absolutely nothing to gain. His
remarks were received with cheers.
The convention adopted resolution
calling for Il bill which In time of war
would give the President the power to
draft not only men, but material and
capital. The bill was presented by
Colonel George E. Leach, Of Minneap-
Greetings from tho British Legion,
General Haig, were presented by Major
.. b. Brunell- Cohen. The convention
cheered the British delegate for sew
err' minutes.
"There is no limit to what you and
we can achieve SO long as we start
out with the same object he declared.
1T is impossible ever for the United
St'tes and Great Britain to disagree.
We may quarrel among ourselves like
members OF family, but In the open
we must be on the same side.
THE hope of the world rests with
you here in America. put it to you
that you cannot keep out Of tho
worlds politics, however much you
may desire to do 30. appeal to you
here to join with us across the ocean,
to come and help solve our problems
over there. Only you can do this, and
with your help all will be solved.
Without 1t, we in Europe are strug-

Ezio Gioja, president Of the Italian
Grand Federation Of Disabled Vcter-
ans, addressed the convention in
Italian.
