tainly the greatest cinema Mary
Pickford has ever made.

Paris.-Premier Poincare has mott
fled the German embassy at Paris that
the first of series of measures to con-
serve French interests against a lapse
in Germany's pre-war debt payments
would be put into effect Immediately.
The notice followed the receipt of a
note from Germany refusing to meet
the 100000 installment of these
French citizens due August Is.
The first of French measures con.
sists of the immediate suspension of
all payments to German nationals for
debts contracted with Frenchmen be-.
fore the war, both in France and AL
sace-Lorraine. The offices in Paris
and Strasburg which were set up to
liquidate these debts were notified to
cease functioning at once and to pay
no more German claims until further
orders from the premier.
The initial measures also include the
suspension of all further payments to
Germans for German property seques
tered in France. This property in
cludes estates, villas, art collections,
etc.
The agreement reached at Baden,

ing compensated for the house furnish.

1t was explained at the foreign of

are not penalties in the strictest sense
Of the word, but merely action to safe
guard the French interests which have

Official circles said that France now
could await some move by Germany.
| II Belgium and Great Britain, as
has been indicated, desired to forego
payments from Germany on the pri.
vate debts due their nationals, this
will have no effect on the French posi-
ton, 1t was declared. France will in.
sist on the payment of these claims

was added, and If Germany does not
meet the French demands the meas,
ures taken will become progressively
