MORATORIUM SEEMS
 QUITE LIKELY NOW
Allies Have But Little Choice
 Other Than to Agree
ENGLAND HOLDS SOLUTION
London Times Says That Britain Must First However, Settle Question of Her War Indebtedness to United States,

Paris, July Il (By Associated Pre.s) A moratorium on Germanys cash payments for the remainder of this year was thought in circles close to the reparations commission to be quite probable as result of a con- ference this forenoon between Dr. Fischer chairman of the German war debts commission and all members of the commission in a hurriedy called informal session.
 U. S. Is Represented.
 Roland W. Boyden, the United States representative with the com mission took part in the conference.
 Dr. Fischer told the commission the Germans would present formal re- quest for a moratorium at meeting tomorrow.
 This request 1t was indicated in some circles will likely be acted upon by the commission without waiting to refer the matter to the various gov ernments.
 Ask Debt Cancellation.
 The letter asking for the moratori- um is expected to suggest the cancel lation of all the remaining payments this year. leaving the matter of a moratorium thereafter open.
 Under this arrangement the ques- tion of the further moratorium would be decided later upon full considera- tion and in view of what may happen in Germany in the next few weeks.
 Probably Will Agree.
 It Is understood that the majority of the commission sees no other way out of the present crisis and Is there fore prepared to vote temporary moratorium.
 Dr. Fischer told the commission that Germany had succeeded in get ting together sufficient foreign ex- change to meet the payment of 5o,- oOo,ooo gold marks, due July Is, but whether this payment will be exacted has not yet been decided.
 England Cooperating.
 London. July II. (By Associated Press )-Great Britain and France are in close communication concern ing Germany's financial position and reparations question.
 Premier Poincare Is said to plan coming tO IU1luOI sIIOilly iOI dfHSoH- ference with Lloyd George. The date of his arrival however, will not be fix ed until the report of the allied com mittee on guarantees is considered. The report is expected some time this week.
 The whole International financial situation came before the British cab met at a meeting today especially in its relation to the collapse of the Ger man mark. Among the data were spe- cial dispatches from the British am bassador
 Britain Holds Key.
 The Times today began a series of special articles discussing the econ omic morass in which the world Is and aiming to point the road to recovery The writer says the latest collapse of the mark merely adds an alarming symptom to the other symptoms long noticeable.
 Great Britain alone holds the key to the whole position" he declared. "The only gateway to the path to safety is through firm, courageous treatment of the separations prob lem. Tn order to unlock the gate the question of the British war indebt- edness to the United States must first be settled"

COAL STRIKE MAY
 END ON SATURDAY
Dissatisfaction Reported Now
 Over Some Terms
CONSIDER HARDING'S OFFER
Northwestern Coal Supply Worrying Offcials and Priority Orders From Commerce Commission May Order Non-Union Commodity Rushed.


 Washington, July 11.--Leaders of the mine workers union and operators of anthracite and soft coal mines who got President Harding's offer of ar bitration yesterday as the govern mems solution of the suspe ension of operators in union fields were today considering a compromise or refusal but semi officially 1t was stated the government expected to have an- swers Saturday.
 There was degree Of dissatisfac- ton with the terms of the presidents offer on both sides and some question as to the outcome.
 Worry Over Northwest.
 The governments first concern Is the northwestern coal supply, 1t was indicated. Work resumption within two weeks, however. it was indicated might solve this without difficulty but If not, priority orders through the interstate commerce commission might be used to direct shipments of non-union coal preferentially to the territory concerned. This constituted a policy question held in suspension. Mine operators in the union fields who have kept mines closed down in the belief that wage reduction was necessary found most difficulty in &C., cepting the sections of the presidents arbitration offer which would con- tinue the wartime mining wage scales for what they regard as an indefinite period.
 In the union circles the disposition is to question where the arbitration would leave the union in districts which have relapsed to non-union operation.

p. U. COMMISSION JITNEY HEARING
 SET FOR JAN. 12

Hartford, Jan. 5-Jan. 12. at 11:30 a. m. has been set by the Public Utilities Commission as the tune for the hearing on the application to run 1ftneys between Hartford and New London. The route proposed would run through Glastonbury and Col chester. a territory. never developed by the Connecticut Company, and would be the first direct line ever op- erated between these two important Connecticut cities. A cutting of at least 6 miles over any present route Is believed possible.
 The greater part of the new high way was first put to actual use about the end of November when it was hearing completion. Owing to the saving of mileage well as the new condition of the highway jitney oper- ators consider the venture a profita- ble one as evidenced by the fact that ten of them have already applied for licenses to operate between the two Citnes.
 None of the applicants indicated the intended terminals of his route, b tuowing to the fact that by ordi- nance Hartford already has barred them from the center of the city it is expected that the majority of them, if their applications are granted, will stop at the Boulevard.
