Paris. Dec. 4.
The British effort to obtain a naval
footing in the Black Sea is adding to
the difficulties IN the way of the Wash
ington naval treaties with possibility
that IL Great Britain and Soviet Russia
find no compromise on the Straits situa-
ton, ratification by France will be de-
layed again. with possibility that the
accords might be rejected entirely.
The semi-oficial Temps tonight, in
an article evidently inspired, favors re-
! nunciation OF the stipulations OF the
Washington treaty as useless. until q
broader treaty can be negotiated with
the Russians participating. The only
alternative would le ratification with a
reservation covering the possible recon-
struction of the Russian feet, which the
Temps considers equivalent to declar-
ing that the Washington treaty does mot
bind strictly the European nations and
Japan, but only the United States" the
French, according To the Temps, woulo
not be loyal to observe the terms, under
the new conditions arising out Of the
Lausanne conference.
The Quai d'Orsdy is not commenting
upon the situation, but the new atti-
tude of such an influential paper as
the Temps Is taken as an indication
that developments at Lausanne are
giving great concern. The resignation
OF Deputy Mandel from the subcom-
mission studying the texts of the pc-
cords as well as recent conferences
between Georges Leygues, head Of the
Foreign Affairs Commission, and Pre-
mier Poincare. serve TO stress the
quandary OF the French.
While anxious not to disturb amicable
relations with Washington by "a refusal
10 ratify. France is confronted with the
desire to preserve the rejuvcnated
British alliance, for repiuatons reasons.
while the present interior political
movement in France. with the concen-
tration of parliamentary power toward
the Socialist Left considered inevitable
next year, makes it vital that relations
with Russia be kept as calm as possible.
In addition to French prestige in
Turkey being already burden'd by the
Curzon accord that the Turks signed
with Mussolni and Poincare. the French
see Mn openly flouting Russia conse-
uuences which may be dangerous to
French commerce in the Near East
Fortunately, Russia has provided a
loop hole out of the tangled situation
by suggesting n Black Sea disarmament
conference later. That is really what
is behind the French suggestion for a
conference, in which Russia shall be
represented. to revise the Washington
naval accords.

A PETITION DENIED
TO ABANDON THE
TROLLEY SERVICE
St. Augustine Demands
That Service to Beach
Be Resumed
(By Associated Press)

St. Augustine, August 18.-W'hat
promises to be one of the most inter
esting legal battles which this city
has experienced in years is expected
to develop from the action Of the city
commission in adopting resolution
at their meeting this week, in which
the St. Johns Electric company is no.
titled that it must proceed at once
to restore car service to the beach.
The car tracks were washed out
over two years ago near South
Beach by the encroachment Of the sea
at what is known as Salt Rum" and
the company abbreviated the service
to the Alligator Farm station, at the
north end Of the island. The conf
pany's franchise stipulates that the
company operate its cars to the
beach, which was generally accepted
to mean South Beach or beyond.
Years ago the company pushed the
tracks to st. Augustine Beach, over
mile south of South Beach, but
since the washout has operated only
to d point a little south of the light
house. The company was also mott
fled that it must pave its portion of
Genital avenue, within sixty days, and
in accordance with plans and specifi-
cations.
The St. Johns Electric company's
franchise combines the electric light
plant and the street car service. The
company has made several efforts tc
have the two separated, in order that
the street railway service may be dis.
continued, but their efforts have fail
ed The company applied to the
state railroad commission for per.
mission to abandon street car service
in ST. Augustine, but the applica
ton was denied. The matter was
then taken up to the supreme court
and the supreme court also denied the
appeal.
1t is understood the St. Johns
Electric company vii! take the case
to the United States supreme court.

Wants Shipping
Board Vessels Be
Moved from Trade
CBy Associated Press)

New York, August lS.-OVer ton
mage in the inter-coastal trade of the
United States was one of the reasons
given by the American Steamship
Owners association in letter to
Chairman Lasker, of the shipping
board, made public last night, for its
request on June 10 that all govern
mental competition be ended.
Governmental tonnage, if with
drawn, the letter stated, cannot pos
sibly be replaced by foreign ships, for
it is exclusively an American service.
"These inter-coastal American
steamers of private ownership" the
letter added, "are regularly serving
the ports of the Atlantic, the Pacific
and the gulf which are in position
to supply sufficient cargoes. If all
government-owner tonnage were at
once withdrawn, more than enough
privately-owned tonnage would re-
main to insure the continuance of all
these services"

Members of Negotiations
Committees to Meet
This Afternoon
WAGES IS MAIN ISSUE
Miners Waived 20 Per
Cent Increase, But Aft
er Long Contract

Philadelphia, August 18.-Mem-
bers of the negotiations committees
of the anthracite miners and opera
tors, leach with a sincere determina-
ton to effectuate an adjustment if at
all possible" to quote the words of
the joint statement issued at the con-
clusion of yesterdays parieys, were
to meet again this afternoon.
Both miners and operators today
continued to hold the optimistic at
titude manifested after the first con-
ference, but both declared the Joint
statement was all that could be said
at present.
The main issue involved concerns
wages. In a pre-conference announce
reut, the operators agreed to take
back the miners at the old wage scale,
while the miners waived their de-
mand for 90 per cent increase.
1t was understood, however, that
the operators would only extend the
old wage scale agreement until next
April, whereas the miners desired a
Iong-tern contract if they agreed to
resume work at the former rate.
