ENTENTE MENACED

LONDON, Aug. 15.-The Anglo
French entente. the chief bulwark
against complete chaos in Europe.
was menaced today as never before
as a result of the breakup of the
allied conference on German in
demnity. The entente still exists.
but Britain is standing pat in her
opposition to Frances demands and
is awaiting the next French move
The collapse of the allied confer
ence was due TO opposition between
the British and French over the
moratorium terms that should be
imposed upon Germany. The British
were opposed to the drastic condi-
tions insisted upon by Premier Poin-
care.
Mark TumbIes Again.
The newspapers regard the situa-
ton as most dangerous. The ex-
change market has been shaken by
the separations crisis. the German
mark going to 4,225 for one English
pound sterling, or about s56 marks
for one American dollar.
British official circles were pessi
mistic. Belief was expressed that
the inter-allied reparations commits
sion al Paris will grant Germany a
respite in indemnity payments. Then
France must decide whether or not
to take independent action against
Germany. If France should take In
dependent action II would likely
lead to a French economic crisis and
pressure from Great Britain. which
will use the French war debt to
Britain as a club.

The NelU Russia
By GEORGES PoPoFF

MOSCOW, Nov. 21.-During the five years of Soviet rule there have been numerous lawsuits concerning ritual matters" A particularly sensational case was that in 1920 against the Czar- ist procureur, Winner, who had been the public prosecutor in the Bailiss case. Through these few suits and through the system of immediate in vestigation of all ritual murder ru- mors the Soviet government had un- doubtedly succeeded in making clean sweep of the pogromistic proclivities once so carefully fostered among cer- tain clements of the population.
 There is no anti-Jewish agitation in Russia today. The Jewish question plays very insignificant part in preI- ent day events here It often is erro- neously exaggerated. Thus 1t is wrong, for instance, to assume that the fact that he is Jew would elimi- nate Trotzky as successor to Lenin Gin my opinion he is the only man who would seriously come into ques- tion as such)- This question is not even discussed anywhere in Russia,
