Must Settle German Debt
Before Allies P0v II. s.

WASHINGTON, July 80 (By The AS
sociated Press).-Inauguration of ne
gotiations here looking to the refund
ing of sums due the United States by
Entente nations has developed that an
important connection exists between
such refunding and the ability of Ger
many to meet her indemnity oblipa-
tions.
1t was found by those engaged in
the negotiations that it would be prac-
tically impossible to carry them be-
yond certain point without reference
to the readjustment of Germany's war
obligations, and as the British and
French premiers are to meet within a
fortnight to consider among other i'm
portant matters the advisability of re-
ducing the total amount of the Ger
man indemnity it is regarded as DOS
sible that M. Jean V. Parmentier, head
OF the French mission, and the Ameri-
can commissioners dealing with French
debt will feel it advisable to await the
outcome of that meeting before going
far with their own conferences.
1t has already developed that the
possibility of reducing the total of the
Germans indemnity will depend upon

Figures now produced in Washington
show that of the total sum of 132,0o0.-
100000 gold marks which Germany was
called upon to ray the claim for pen
sions and allowances is nearly double
that for devastation.
Furthermore, the German claim for

is that there is none that is so con-
trary to the engagements entered upon
through the terms submitted to the
German government by President Will

Girl to PrOtec Her

Katie Fralonardo's wedding gown
lies crumpled and bloodstained across
her bed at 25 Sherman Street, Long
Island City. Katie Fralonardo. in
somewhat similar state, occupies a bed
in st. Johns Hospital, a bullet wound
in her abdomen and another in her
right arm. Katies wedding will not
take place this week. The doctors say
she will be lucky if her funeral does
not.
That white satin gown, whose SHIN
mering folds Katie's loving fingers had
caressed only for Il few short hours
Saturday evening, is the cause of it all
Katie and her brother Michael came
to this country five years ago. She
was eighteen and he was twenty-one.
They resolved to work and save until
they had enough money to bring their
parents to the new land too. For five
years Katie worked in Lofts candy
factory in Hamilton Street, Long Isl
and City, each week giving her pay
envelope to her brother Michael.
Savings Grew Slowly
With all Michael's resolution and
dogged self-denial, their savings ac-
count grew with pitiful slowness. The
years that added 80 little to their
wealth were prodigal with Katie, how
ever. She lowered like some wild
tropical plant suddenly transplanted
and given sedulous care.
Katie was the belle of the neighbor-
hood and Michael glowered in vain at
the procession of sleek and solicitous
youths who came to 25 Sherman Street
bearing flowers and candy and invita-
tions to dances and Coney Island.
These things cost nothing. Katie
pointed out, and she would never be
young again.
Michael bore with it until Katie in
formed him last week that she was
going to be married. That. Michael
said, could not be until they had saved
enough to bring their parents from
Italy, for that was their compact. Katie
! told him firmly that it was going to be
and that she and her husband would
be able to save more than she could
alone.
Saturday evening she told Michael
that the wedding was to be this week
Michael stamped out of the house in a
rage. Katie fitted out soon after him
and returned bearing the tissue
wrapped gown of white satin. She
spread it on the bed and invited some
of the neighbors in to see it and re
ioice with her.

The est is a cavalry division and
the cavalry's part in the attack will

will be COO infantry and 400 cavalry
and several whippet tanks.
The infantry is to be sent forward
in squad columns, each squad preceded
by two scouts whose function is to
draw the machine gun fire. Their COM
panions. advancing in single file, it is
said, will suffer far less from artillery
fire than would be the case were they
sent forward in waves.
The infantry will be armed with
automatic rifles, trench mortars rife

Labor Is for Measure

Bodies and Locals That
Are Seeking Action

From The Tribune's washimpton Bureau
WASHINGTON, July 30.--In spite of
rsny forecasts that the enactment of
the tariff measure will go over until
after the November elections, Senator
Mclean, Of Connecticut, member of the
Finance Committee, in statement to-
day declared the Republicans would
pass the bill before Congress adjourns
snd also asserted that there was much
union labor sentiment for the .arifY
measure.
Senator Mclean charges there is a
flibuster by the Democrats to delay
the tariff bill and that importing in
ierests are flooding the country with
false statements about the tariff and
the cost of living.
Finance Committee leaders hope to
force the wool schedule to completion
in the next two or three days. Much
will depend, however, on whether Sens-
have an investigation of the financial
interest of Senators in this and other
schedules. 1t is the plan of Senator
caraway to bring the matter up again.
However, si.-gle objection can block
1t in the present parliamentary con-
dition of things and it then can be
brought forward only on motion.
Senator Caraway indicated tonight
that he might hold the question in
steyance for two or three days to see
what was the reaction of public feel

nppi, is expected back tomorrow He

Statements by Senators Keyes and

public to-day by the American Non
Partisan Scientific Tariff League.
Ten international labor unions and
more than 800 individual labor unions
n all sections of the United States
have petitioned Congress to speed the
enactment of the pending tariff bill,
Senator Mclean said, adding that ne

pose of showing the widespread inter

Advance of Session Of
Reparation Commission
From The Trioune's Europcon Bureou

Copyright, 1922. New York Tribune Inc
LONDON, July 30,-The meeting be
tween Premiers Lloyd George ano
roincare now is likely to be held be-
fore August Is, the date upon which
the Reparation Commission is seized
uled to come to decision regarding
the payment of the next German in
stallment. This was learned here to-
night after the French Ambassador
called at the Foreign Office to com
municate the views of his govern
ment.
Premier Poincare is anxious to
come to London and believes the meet
ing should be held before the date
mentioned, the Ambassador said. He
intlmated at the same time that the
Premier desired to have Italy and
Belgium represented and hoped the
British government would address in
vitations to them. This statement
clears the Misunderstanding which
had arisen regarding the date Of the
conference.
France at first suggested August /
as the date and Lord Balfour replied
that the British government would be
glad to see Premier Poincare on that
date, but ut the same time suggested
that the presence of Italian and Bel
gian representatives would be desir-
able. He pointed out the difficulty of
Italian representation on that date in
view of the Cabinet crisis at Rome.
The Foreign Office has been expect
ing reply to this note, while Sec
tion Of the Paris press has been charg-
ing the British with seeking a delay,
and there was some surprise in Down
ing Street that the French reply was
not received earlier. 1t is hoped here
that the Italian situation will be cleared
up soon enough to enable Italy to par
ticipate in the conference, but in defer
ence to M. Poincare's wishes it prob
/ ably will be held on the date fixed
whether Italy is represented or not.
1t should be noted that to-day's "Ob-
server" which is regarded as the
mouthpiece for Lloyd George, insists
that there can be.n settlement of the
reparation question unless Italy is rep
resented. Until the new Italian Min
istry is in power" says "The Observer" )"
such visit as is contemplated by
Premier Poincare would provide very
unsubstantial relief for the growing
embarrassments in which France finds
