Crux of Tangle
(Rv Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON. Dec. 49,
Adjustment of the repara-
tions dispute between London
and Paris is the cruX of the
European tangle, in the Amer
ican viewpoint, as stated here
today on competent authori-
ty. Talk of any American
loan to Germany was describ-
ed as "idle" until such an ad-
iustment had been made.
l. was also made clear that the
question Of allied war debts to the
United States is not viewed in
Washington as involved in the
Anglo French difference as to the
amount Germany can pay. Beyond
this official spokesmen refused to go
in outlining what the Washington
government had in mind. There was
no hint as to the purposes or prog
ross of informal discussions with al
lied leaders which have been indi-
Gated both here and abroad to be
underway No answer was returned
had again sought American interVen-
ton in the reparations difficulty.
With the field Of speculation thus
narrowed, however. it was evident in
unofficiaI talk today that administra-
tion hopes that American influence
can aid in the European situation we're
quite generally believed TO be based
on possibilities that may be seen OF
bringing British and French thought
into harmony as to Germany pres
ent economic plight and capacity to
pav. Since time lacks for any
lengthy process OF examination on
that point before expiration Of the
moratorium January l5, there was
a tendency to believe that the Wash
ington government has some hone OF
causing at least a delay in definite
action by France after that time,
pending further light from recognized
expert authorities.

Four of 21 Aboard Ill
Fated Reliance Are
Drowned in Lake
Superior
(Bv Associated Prcssl

SACLT STE. MARIE. Mich, Dec.
18.-Four persons lost their lives
when the tug Reliance was wrecked
in a storm on northern Lake Super
ior last Wednesday, it was learned to-
night. A wireless message from the
tug Gray. which, with the Fayorite,
went to the rescue of the 81 persons
aboard the Reliance, said all had been
accounted for except the four. who
were swept from the deck on the
small craft as efforts were being
made to launch lifeboats in the high
seas.
Those drowned were Captain John
Mcpherson. of the Booth Fisheries. a
passenger on the Reliance; Gus
Johns. member of the crew; an uni
ester in the employ Of the Superior
Paper company
Hope of finding any Of the missing
persons alive virtually was abandoned
here earlier in the day when the
Gray reported the finding of two bat
tered lifeboats from the Reliance. 1t
now is assumed the boats were wash
ed away from the island after the
marooned men had landed.
The hardships suffered by the
band during their five days impris-
onment, will. it is believed, become
new history of the lakes. When they
left the sinking tug none of the men
had food, fuel or firearms. The isle
on which they landed is practically
barren and uninhabited. 1t is believed
there area few huts. however, left by
Indians and trappers in past seasons.
1t probably will be late tomorrow be-
fore the tugs can return to this port
oF
in Lake Superior. Physicians and
medical supplies, together with food
and fuel, were taken aboard the res
cue tugs before they started to fight
their way through the ice flioes 10
