NEGOTIATIONS
HAVE COLLAPSED
Reporr that England Intended
to Cancel French Debt
Held Premature.
COMPLETE FAILURE
Official View Is That England Would
Cancel French Debt, But Other
Allies Must Also Make
Sacrifices.

London-The collapse of. the allied
premiers' negotiations here, it is be-
coming evident. was even more COM
plete than at first supposed, since the
one outstanding development which
had been seized upon by the optimists,
namely, the scrapping Of the Balfour
note by Great Britain, is now said to
have been acclaimed prematurely.
Premier Bonar Law admitted as
much in the house of commons and
from other sources it is learned that
the haste on the part Of the continental
press to consider Lord Balfour's utter
ances as thing of the past is unwar-
ranted.
Britain Seeks Profit,
1t is stated that Mr.. Bonar Law, in
talking with the other allied premiers,
only indicated that Lord Balfour's
principle (refusal to consider any re-
mission of the war debts) could be
superseded as Great Britain's contribu-
tion to general European settlement
of the war debts and reparations
questions, but with definite gain for
Britain in view and not merely because
she wished to be generous.
According to the official view, the
British are willing to make great sac
rifices but the other allies must also
sacrifice some of their interests.
v. S. Not Approached.

not been approached, directly or in

lied statement at the state department.
Germans Hopeful.
Berlin-Official German quarters
were disinclined to discuss the failure
Of the allied premiers to arrive at a
decision on the reparations question,
as authentic information regarding the
nature of their deliberations was lack
ing here.
The German press views the post
ponement as discouraging symptom,
but it is not generally regarded as a
misfortune for Germany, inasmuch as
it is believed the present denouement
may act as an effective deterrent to

The first of the three gifts was a
small box, all done up in tissue paper.
When Dorothy had taken off the paper

Madeline got this second present
and seemed very glad of it. Then the
third gift was taken down and pre-.
sented to Peter. It was only a note
all done up in an envelope, but II
helped him to see why the party had
made him happier than he had beer
