GERMANY GETS
FRENCH NOTICE
OF PENALTIES
Poincare Applies $
Scre1Us to Force
Payments.

Paris. Aug. 5.-(By the Associ-
ated Press. .)-Premier Poincare at
noon today notified the German
embassy at Paris that the first Of a
series of measures to conserve
French interests against lapse in
Germany's pre-war payments
would be put into effect immedi-
ately. The notice followed the re-
ceipt of a note from Germany re-
fusing to meet the 100000 pounds
sterling installment of these pay
ments to French citizens due on
Aug. Is.
The first of the French measures
consists Of the immediate suspen-
sion of all payments to German ma
tionals for debts contracted with
Frenchmen before the war, both in
France and Alsace-Lorraine. The
offices in Paris and Strasburg,
which were set up to liQuidate
these debts were notified to cease
functoning at once and to pay no
more German claims until further
| orders from the premier.
Suspend Debt Payments.
The initial measures also include
the suspension of all further pay
ments to Germans for German
property sequestrated in France
This property includes estates
villas. art collections, etc.
The agreement reached at Baden
Baden under which Germans were
being compensated for the house
furnishings, stocks, bonds and cash
left in Alsace and Lorraine, also is
suspended.
! 1t was explained at the foreign
office that these first measures
taken are not penalties, in the
strictest sense of the word, but
merely action to safeguard the
French interests which have been
jeopardized by the Germans refus-
ing to pay.
II these measures fail to bring
a satisfactory settlement, furthel
and more severe measures, it was
said, will be enforced. The nature
of these is withheld pending the ef'
feet of the present action.
Official circles said that France
now would await some move BY
Germany.

President Denies Altering
Proposal on Seniority
Rights.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
Washington, D. c., Aug. 5.-The
biggest of question marks rests to-
day on a chapter of White house
history in connection with the rail-
road strike. What happened at the
conference between President Har-
ding and T. Dewitt Cuyler, presi-
dent Of the Association of Railway
Executives, on Thursday, July q?
And another query pertains to what
happened between the time Mr..
Cuyler left the White house and
the meeting of the railroad execu-
tives held in New York six days
later.
President Harding has felt COM
PEELED to authorize the Washington
newspaper critics to send broad
cast the statement that he did moi
alter the proposals he made to Mr.
Cuyler with respect to the return
of seniority rights to the railroad
strikers. This signid cant denial
was made because Mr.. Harding was
told that an impression has beer
spread that the original offer had
been modified after Mr.. Cuyler lef1
the White house. Such foundation
as exists for this impression may
be traced to the discussion which
took place in New York last Tues
day when the railroad executive!

namely Thursday, July 27. If Mr.
Cuyler said he was surprised b,
