lied powers to consider the separations situation, and an effort will be made to reach an agreement with Great Britain on the French debt and also definite settlement of the reparations question. No military measures would be taken unless the conference broke down.
 The British differ strongly with the French in the present crisis, and believe that Germanys offer should be accepted. They contend that the commission never contemplated that Belgium would actually demand gold, such provision being put into the decision simply for use as g last resort
 Despite tho very serious turn of events, the German delegation in Paris remains calm and optimistic. When informed that the cabinet had decided upon 3 stern policy, one German official said: They always decide on stern meas ures. However, We have refused the gold, and shall continue to refuse it. But l think that some compromise will be af- fected, as the allies do not want to pre- cipitate trouble at this time"
 A despatch from Berlin Wednesday said 1t was officially announced that Germany had notified Great Britain and France that 500, 900 pounds would be paid September IS on account of the next clearing house installInent on pre-
 war debts of allied nationals. This pay ment, 1t was added, was possible onlJ | through the accommodation of the reichs bank, and the remainder of the install
 nent, amounting to 1.500,000 pounds
 would be forthcoming as soon as circum
 stances permitted.
 A total of 2,Oo0,ooo pounds on pre-
 war debts to allied nationals was due b. Germany August IS. Prior to that time on August 5t Germany sent note t l France saying she would be unable t meet the full installment and requested ] that the amount be cut 75 per cent, O

RAIL LABOR CONTROVERSY
 LOSING ITS IrTERNEss

7. New York; Sept. 14.-Continued peace between the railroads and at least two of the Big Four brotherhoods which man their traisis seemed in sure prospect to- night when 1t was announced that the New York Central lines had practically agreed to renew. their preser arrange ments with the tfainmen and conductors This announcement, coming from w. c. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainnens was followed by the report that the Pennsylvania, Erie, Lack awanna and other eastern. trunk lines also. were ready to continue the wage scales. working conditions and eules un- der which the trainmen and conductors are now employed. . fs :.
 Chieftains of these two brotherhoods and officials of the thirteen roads making up the New York Central system proba- ply will signNth renewal agreements to- morrow, Mir, Lee said. The only undeter- mined question tonight, he explained was whether the new agreement would be for one year or two
 The agreements in prospect will auto. matically remove. from the United States labor board the task of deciding upon the pay and working conditions for trainmen When the brotherhoods and the easterr carriers several months ago failed tc reach agreements, the matter was put be, fore the board. but now the trainneu ant conductors seem about to settle the mat
 ter themselves with the sepsrate roads.
 Mr.a Lee said tonight he did not know
 what plans: for settling the wage question l had been made by the other, two bii
 brotherhoods-the engineers and the fire
 man and enginemen. He and MT. Sheppard arrived here thi ! morning from Cleveland and with a com i mittee of brotherhood leaders on the va
 rious roads making up the New Tori | Central lines went into secret conterenc
 with A. H. Smith, head of that syster,
 and officials of component railroads. Lat this afternoon he announced that all tha remained before signing the axreemen tomorrow was settlement of whethe

Paris. Sept. 14-CBy The A P.)-The newly developed crisis In the reparations question became so acute tonight upon receipt of Berlin advices that Germany had categoricaily refused to give up the 100 900 900 gold marks demanded by Bel gum as a guarantee of the six months note issue on account of reparations, that the members of the commission decided the situation has gone beyond their con- trcl and requires the immediate action of the ai1lied pjremiers.
 Sir John Bradbury. British member of the commission. Is proceeding to Lon don to lay the matter in detail before Premier Lloyd George, while M. Poin- care has assumed command of the French E.de of the negotiations. The Italian and Belgian premiers also are handling the situation for their countries.
 Belslum's request for the depsit of gold not later than tomorrow. instead of be- ing merely a diplomatic manoeuvre to permit further discussion as at first in- 6ieatsd. now appears to be stern de- n1and with the full backing of the French and Belgian governments.
 After the meeting today of the French cabinet, 1t was authoritativeiy stated that oRicial notification of Germany's refusal Do deliver the gold will be followed by he laying of the matter before the separations commission by Belgium and a French demand for a declaration of Ger nany's default.
 An official .communique issued by the French ministry of foreign affairs re- gpectinE the meeting between M. Poin- care and Hf. Dubois, of the rsparations commission. at Rambouillet. says:
 The cabinet council, through the pre- mier. gave definite instructions to M Dubois concerning the French attitude in he event of Germany's failure to com. ply with the reparations commission's de. sisinn on August 31."
 M Dubois. who is president os the com mission. will exercise his right to czsi the deciding vote in the event that Great Britain and Italy oppose such declaration as is probable. The members of the cab lnct took very critical view of the sit. 1ation and gave explicit instructions tc M. Dubois to demand action by the com. mission unless the gold is deposited.
 The refusal of Germany to pay the l., 800 900 pounds due tomorrow as par payment of her pre-war debts. to aIliet nationals. has served to stlffen the at titude of the cabinet. The recent Lon Con conference reduced the payments du b August and September from 100000 pounds to 2.0o0. 900 pounds. Germany ha paid 800 900 pounds and was requnre To pay the balance tomorrow.
