London, Aug. 3 (by the Associat-

house of commons on inter-allied
debts and German reparations
proved disappointing. 1t had been
expected the debate would bring
out further interesting facts re-
specting the recent note of the Earl
OF Balfour on the subject and re-

national obligations.
1t was apparent that Premier
Lloyd George, Chancellor of the

quith, one of the liberal leaders,
and other speakers made a studied
effort to say nothing which would
embarrass open and impartial dis

F RANCE WILL INC
To REDUCE DEBT
Of THE GERMANS
tBy The Associated Press.)

Paris, Aug. s (by the Associated
Press. The official announce
ment of the American treasury
department that the note of the
Earl of Baltour regarding inter-
allied debts would cause no
change in the policy of the Unit
ed States with respect to them
caused no surprise in Official
circles in Paris. where the atti-
tude of the United States gov
eminent had been anticipated
since the note was published.
Further, it has been learned
that Lord Balfour's communica-
ton probably will have no effect
on the detailed reparations plan
which Premier Poincare has
drawn up for the London meet
ing next week. the French cabi-
net today having unanimously APP
proved the premier's proposals
and his decision to present it to
the British government.
To Cut Indemnity
This plan, it is generally ag-
reed. is to include q reduction
in the total German indemnity
in return for proportionate cam
collation. of French debts to
Great Britain. priority to France
on account of the devastated re-
gions, and the proposition of the
strictest financial control upon
Germany in order TO insure pay
ment OF the reduced reparations
bill and prevent the flight of cap
ital from that country.
Coupled with this is the fact
that assurances must be given
France that the international
bankers will be able to arrange
a substantial loan to Germany to
be largely devoted to reparations
payments during the next two or
three years.

GUTIERREZ To
CARRY ON ROAD
WORK IS AGENT
County Board Authorizes
Commissioner TO Super
wise Road Work Without
Pay; Sanchez Resigns.

Max Gutierrez, county commits
sioner, will carry on the necessary
road repair work in Bernalillo
county for remainder of the year,
as agent of tue board of commits
sioners, and serving without pay.
A resolution on county roads and
bridges to this effect was passed
by the board at a special meeting
yesterday afternoon
The proposal that Mr.. Gutierrez
take over the responsibility of the
road work in the absence Of funds
to employ a superintendent was
made by the commissioner himself.
He stated that he was willing to
devote as much time. as necessary
to the work and to serve without
pay.
He is authorized by the county
to oversee necessary repair work
on the roads. He will do the work,
not asa road superintendent, but
as an agent of the board of COM
missioners. This arrangement is
to continue until otherwise di-
rected.
Gabriel Sanchez Quits.
Gabriel Sanchez. former road
superintendent, filed his resigna-
ton with the commission yester-
day afternoon. He was ordered to
collect all the road machinery and
other property in his charge in the
county garage and to file list of
articles to be checked yby the COM
Although the county funds for
the payment of a road superin-
tendent are exhausted for the cur
rent year, there remains in the
county road fund about $4,000,
which will be available for road
work. 1t has not yet been deter
mined upon which county roads
this fund will be expended.
The resolution appointing a tenn
porary road superintendent, which
was passed at a morning meetlng
of the commissioners held in an
effort to settle the roads matter,
was revoked at the later Session.

WALTON PRAISES
C|TY'S F|REMEN.
FOR GOOD WORK
Firemen Recovering From
Being Overcome by
Smoke; More Hose Need
ed; Plenty of Water.

A letter mplimenting the city
ire department on its work during
the fire at the N. T. Armijo build
ing Wednesday was received by
/ ire Chief Henderson yesterday
ON w. r. Walton, chairman of
The city commission A box of
cigars was also received by the
department from B. Ruppe, who
operates a drug store in the build
ing which was saved from the fire.
All of the firemen are recovering
from the smoke which almost pros
trated several, severely inflamins
their eyes and congesting their
lungs.
Fire Chief Henderson stated yes
terday that his men had taken
many more chances than he had
authorized them to take in their
efforts to locate and eXtinguish the
fire. Several of the men descend
ed to the low cellar which was a
sea of smoke and were in grave
danger, as the men who were
stationed to assist them in get
ting back were also overcome by
the smoke.
1--WE did not dare fight the fire
like such fire is usually fought
in larger cities" Chief Henderson
stated. I'VE did not have enough
hose to take any chances and were
forced to fight it from the start in
stead of waiting until it blazed, as
is usually the case in such fires
We had every inch of hose IN use
in the five lines" he added. FIRE
Chief Henderson recommended
some time ago that the city procure
at least 1000 more feet of hose.
This has been ordered but has not
arrived.
1t is the chiefs opinion, how
ever, that more hose was not need
ed because of the manner in which
the men fought the fire 1T would
have been easier on the men,
though" he stated. For instead
of five hours of strenuous work
in the smoke, few more lines OF
hose would have fixed 1t so they
would only have had to spend a
few minutes in the smoke
Thanks Volunteers.
The chief stated that he had been
unable to personally thank all OF
the volunteer helpers for their
services which had been OF great
assistance in helping the depart
ment and were appreciated.
Reports that the heavy use OF
water for the fire had seriously
lowered the water in the city reser-
voir were denied yesterday by City
Manager Bert Calkins, who stated
that but one foot and five inches
of water had been taken from the
reservoir, leaving more than nine
feet of water in the big tank.
