Hospital.

PARIS. Aug. 20.-John Gurchison.
former Yale student. who has been
buried from the world for eleven
years in q German pison at Heidel-
berg. has arrived In Paris, an ab-
solute human wreck.
The American Aid Society in
Paris has placed him In a private
nursing home in the suburbs. but
he is in such a nervous condition
that he attempted suicide twice In
pronounce him sane, but his terrible
several days. American physicians
memories prevent him from sleep
ing. He acts like q man with de-
lirium tremens and his memory is
almost gone.
Mr.. Gurchison was raised in a
founding home in New York, whose
address is not known here. but he
worked his way through a year at
Yale and won a scholarship to
Heidelberg. Soon after arriving at
Heidelberg he killed q German stu
dent in a duel and was sentenced
to serve FIVE years in prison. Six
years were added to his sentence
for attempting to escape. Appar-
emily no friends attempted to Sc
cure his release.
Mr.. Gurchison did not know any
thing about the world war until
released and can scarcely grasp the
fact. He has been in solitary con-
fnement for eleven years and his
body Is full of scars inflicted by
the wardens. Ills age is given ~
2s years. The American Embassy
is attempting through the German
Embassy to clear up the case.

France Expects Poincare
To Reject Debt Compromise

PARIS. Aug. 20.-Prcu1ier Poin-
care in a speech at Bar de Luc to-
morrow is expected to declare anew
the Incorporating attitude o.
France toward delay in the pay
ment of reparations by Germany.
He will speak before the general
council of the department of the
house.
1t is predicted in well-informed
quarters that the premier will state
fatty that the government will not
be bound by whatever compromise
the reparations commission reaches
with regard to granting a mora
torium to Germany, II the leniency
exceeds the minimum program
which he presented. to the allied
conference in London.
May Threaten Penalties.
1t is considered likely also that
not hesitate to adopt rigorous
measures against Germany-taking
over the Ruhr mines and the lerr
bank of the Rhine as indispensable
guarantees before a moratorium Is
granted.
Poincare's attitude was revealed
dead at ThiaCourt.
'All the Germans associated In
sacking and burning our unfortu-
nate northern and eastern provices
assumed solemn responsibility for
the evil done" he declared All
are equally engaged to repair the
damages and we well know how to
insist that they make good"

cellor Seipel will arrive in Berlin
Tuesday. and II is expected he will
sound out the German government
as to the possibility OF a direct union,
or at least a working agreement be-

The meeting Of Chancellor Wirth
with Seipel will be Of the utmost i'm
portance to Central Europe. particu-
larly in view of the impending finan-
cial AMI economic crash which au-
thorities are beginning to predict is
unavoidable.

tria is being sought at this time
because q the strict provision in the
treaty OF Versailles prohibiting
union between the two former en-
pires.
Although Germany Is in a serious
financial and economic plight. Aus
tria Is in a far worse condition. The
Austrian government consequently Is
seeking some means of gaining a
new lease Of life.
