Paris, Aug! 15.-The French dele
cation to- the allied conference in

lHavas Agency defines its position at
the breakup Of the meeting, affirms
that the delegation showed patience
and moderation throughout and de-
clares Germany is perservering in q
policy calculated to make Europe be-
lieve she is in state of bankruptcy.
"German's plan of action" said the
statement, "explained the systematic
depreciation Of her currency. She
was certain to ruin her own credit in
the operation, but counted on the al
lies being forced to favor an inter-
national loan and thus receive her
credit. She hoped that the first
credit operation for her, would be
possible without coercion or pledges,
and if the operation produced twenty
billion marks for reparations she
would consider she had paid enough.
"Her situation then would be bet
ter than that of the victorious al
lies," the statement went on, "since
she would have only a small foreign
debt and her industry would be in
full activity. Thus she would re-
sumo in Europe and the world, at the
expense Of the allies, the economic
hegemony, ,wrested. from her by the
four years Of war. The French dele
CATION wishes to oppose an equitable
and rational program to this German
scheme" :.
The statement reviews in detail the
proceedings Of the London conference
and declares the French delegation
was obliged to reject the last pro-
posal of receiving requests for pay
ment from her creditors while total
ly without resources against her for
mcr enemy debtors.
"Under these circumstances" it
adds, NJ. Poincare refused to associ-
ate himself with any decision Of the
conference, even for referring the
problem to the reparations commits
sion and announced the French gov
ernmnet would deliberate on the sit
uation and that in any case it would

WARNING AGAINST
CRASSHOPPER PEST

Beach, N. D., Aug. 15.-Farmers
in western North Dakota are being
urged to refrain from "stubbling in"
winter rye this year because of the
danger of furnishings an ideal
breeding place for grasshoppers.
which might then develop into a
serious pest for next years crops,
by Stewart Lockwood, government
insect specialist, formerly located
at the North Dakota Agricultural
College at Fargo, now at Billings,
Mont.
"This year there has been an
abundance of native grasses in west
ern North Dakota, due to the wet
season." said Mr.. Lockwood, "and
the grasshoppers, which are present
in sufficient numbers to do consid-
erable damage in dry season have
been content this year to feed on
the native grass, and have not moved
into the grain fields"

Ninety-eight per cent of the mem
bers of the international union voted
several weeks ago to strike in pro-
test against further reduction in
wages, claiming their pay has been
cut from $3.50 month in 1920 to
$50 this year, the last SIS reduction
having been made this spring. At the
same time they demanded an in
crease in'iwages and an eight hour
shift. y
Although the Lake Carriers asso-
citation is operated under the open
shop plan, union officers say the fire
men, oilers and water tenders are
80 per cent organized, the sailors
671-2 per cent and the cooks So per
cent. The directors of the Lake Car
riers yesterday decided to continue
to operate under the open shop plan

TRIBUTE GIVEN
N0RTHCLlF'F'B IN
. ENGLISH PRESS,
Great Deal of Space Devoted
to Review of Career of
Distinguished Editor
(By the Associated Press)

(By the Associated Press)
London, Aug. ia remarkable
tribute is paid by the British press
to the late Viscount Northcliffe
this morning, columns, and in some
instances even pages being devoted
to editorials, photographs and spe-
cial articles on the achievements and
personality of the master journalist
whose career ended at the height of
his power.
Naturally the Northcliffe publ
cations make the greatest effort to
eulogize "The Chief" and the Times
devotes four pages, with upturned
column rules as mark of mourn-
ing, to biographical sketches and
!, messages of regret from journalists
politicians and diplomats in all parts
of the world. s..... f.
Tributes from America, including
President Harding's message of con-
dolence toSLady Northcliffe, are
displayed prominently. George Har-
vey the American ambassador sent
a message from Scotland, but King
George, who is there also, is not re<
presented among the published tele-
grams and cablegrams from the en-
pire's prominent personages.
The press generally terms Lord
Northcliffe the greatest British
journalist of all times. His spirited
Fleet Street competitors, but inti-
mate personal friends, Lord Burn
ham and Lord Beaverbrook, the pro-
prietors of the Daily Telegraph and
the Daily Express, are unstinted in
their praise 6f Northcliffe's SER
vice to journalism of the empire.
