 Frances war sacrifices created for her a moral title to priority in re- enjoy the position of predominance she ought to occupy. She has not always been listened to as she had a right to expect. France is prepared, howevr to submit an inter-allied plan leading to comprehensive settlement of the whole question of indebtedness caused by the war. As a result of the recent note written by Earl Bafour, (tnen acting British foreign secre- tary) all measures presented by me were either rejected or mutilated-" Prmfer POincare said he had claimed in behalf of the French gov ernment the right-of deliberate and complete freedom, but this need not prevent rupture of theAnglo-French entente.

FRANCE TO ST TAND PAT
 ON POLICY

for her would be made possible with out coercion or pledges.
 London. Aug. 15IThe Anglo against complete chaos in Europe, was menaced today as never before as result of the breakup of the al- lied conference on German indemnity. The entente still exists. but Britain is standing pat in her opposition to Frances demands and is awaiting the next French move.
 ence was due to opposition by the British and French over the mora torium terms that should be imposed upon Germany. The British were op- sisted upon by Premier Poincare.
 Situation Menacing.
 The newspapers regard the situa- ton as most dangerous. The Ex- change Market has been shaken by the separations crisis, the German mark going to 4,22o for one English pound sterling or about s56 marks British official circles were pessi- mistic. Belief was expressed that the inter-allied reparations comnis- respite in indemnity payments. Then France must decide whether or not to take action against Germany. If France should take independent ac- ton it would likely lead to a French economic crisis and pressure from 1 Great Britain, which will use the French war debt to Britain as a club. The French delegates to the con- ference departed for home today, having been preceded by the Bel gians.
 Before their departure, the Be1gians showed that they were extremely kanxiouS over the future. Whatever comes, it is believed that the Italians will stand by the British as they SUD- ported the British viewpoint in the conference. Before the break up of the conference the Belgians, in an ef- fort at reconciliation, made it known that they were willing to accept a long term promisory note for their share of German indemnity.
