BONAR LAW AGAINST.
SEIZURE OF RUHR
Continued from First Page.

fruitful work of Lord Curzon and the
French delegation.
1t is held here that Germany cannot
submit anything more favorable in the
way of terms before January 2. If the
Near Eastern question IS settled then
the problem will remain what England
is to do If France tries TO throttle Ger
many. 1t is believed here that II ap-
proval is given Poincare's scheme by the
Law Government !. might later involve
Great Britain in backing france on
scale hitherto unconceived.
British srokesmen made no secret of
this tonight for they regarded the Ger
man proposal, while in the main unsat-
isfactory, as worth trying as test or
German good faith. They are convinced
that Chancellor Cuno's Government is
more capable than any of his predeces-
sors or than any successor Is likely 10
be.
The British, nevertheless. conveyed
the impression in the conference that IL
France seized the Ruhr it would be
equivalent to tearing up the treaty of
Versailles and would permit Germany to
say: "All right, the treaty Is off. Now
it's n state of war. What are you
going to do about it?" and at the same
time eXpel all French officials from the
Rhneland.
There is a possibility that II may not
be Poincare with whom the conference
will deal when it reconvenes in January.
He is returning to Paris with neither
free hand on the Ruhr nor any other
tangible achievement. Although the
British believe that Louis Loucheur
would be even more stiffnecked in de-
mandng seizure of German property,
the French say that impression is
wrong, and that what Loucheur wants is
guarantees only with German acquies-
cence; and that as a. business man he
would be a better negotiator than Poin-
care. At any rate, Mr.. Bonar Law will
go to Paris in January with the British
position stiffer, if anything, unless
France presents more reasonable atti-
tude.

Border States Split With Mos

Russia Refused to Sign Unless

Moscow Dec. 12.--Followins an an
nouncement by the Foreign Office this
morning that "the position of the dis
border States was the highest degree
critical" the conference broke up to-
night. The trouble grew out of a joint
declaration signed by Finland Latvia.
Esthonia and Poland demanding that a
mona ggression pact be made before the
technical part Of disarmament was con-
sidered. The border States refused to
cut down their armies by 25 per cent.
as suggested by the Russians. saying
that higher strategical consideration
should be made by technical commits
sion of military experts after the nom
aggression pact had been signed.
a Russian informant SAID: 1--WE refuse
to sign the non-aggression and arbitra-
ton pacts unless limitation of arma-
ment pacts also are concluded, as other
wise the work of the conference would
consist only of pious resolutions added

MOSCOW, Dec. IL (Associated Press).
The closing scenes of the border dis
armament conference were marked by
expressions from all the delegations of
desire to live in peace with their
neighbors. Maxim Litvinoff assured
the visiting delegations that Russia had
no hostile motives toward the border
States and aimed only to secure peace.
He is said to have added that Russia
would continue the reduction of her
army on the scale that War Minister
Trotzky already had worked out.
Litvinoff said he was unable to sign

because it was not acceptable, but be-
cause il did not cover Russia's aims,
which were TO broaden the peace mis-

Berlin. Dec. 12.
A wordy war between the Govern
ment and the industrialists broke out
to-day following the rejection of Ger
manys reparations proposals by the
Allies. At the same time all parties are
united In the determination that what
ever concessions Germany makes to pay
the allied demands the withdrawal of
the armies of occupation will be asked
as The first condition, and then a seal
ing down of the'to will be insisted on.
Chancellor Cuno challenged the in
dustriallsts to-day before the Imperial
Council of Economics when, though not
mentioning by name Hugo SHINES, he
said: The industriairsts must remem-
ber mat the Government is the leading
factor and that they are only secondary
in conducting the affairs OF the nation.
There is no faction or central force
In economic circles that can take the
reins out of the hands of the Govern
ment under any circumstances" He
said that the propositions submitted to
London were not final. but the forerun-
ners of what will lead to freeing the
occupied territory.
Stinness paper, the DeutSche AHge-
meme Zeitung, asserts that industry did
not inted guaranteeing loans. but makes
several proposals. all conditional upon
withdrawal of the armies of occupation.
Even the Socialist papers, while at
tacking the industrialists make the sole
recommendation that the Government
have for its chief aim the recall of the
Rhine armies.

Although judridically the French have
no right to enter the Ruhr or take any
other guarantees before January Is, when
the next German payment is due. Pre-
mier Poincare returned from London
convinced that there will be nothing
more than protest "of pure form from
the Allies If France seizes the Ruhr inn
mediately after January 2.
One Of the highest authorities in the
Quail d'Orsay told this to THE NEW
YORK HERALD correspondent tonight
and explained that Germany's demand
for a moratorium shows she does not
intend to meet the payment and. there
fore. France is entitled to take any pre-
cautions she sees fit.
Immediately after his arrival NJ.
Poincare told his colleagues he was con-
vinced that isolated action by France
would not mean a rupture of the En-
-tente as it would have had Llyod
George remained in power. He will
make a statement OF the London ne
gotiations before the French Chamber

mobilization as the forces in the Rhine
land are considered more than suffi-
cient for what the French general staff
believes will be simple police opera
ton.
But M. Poincare asserts that not once
during the London conference did he
ever pronounce the words Ruhr, Essen
or Bochum. He says seizure of pro-
ductive guarantees was mentioned only
In the broadest terms without specific
designation of the details. AS a result
he docs not expect the British Parlia-
ment to make much trouble for Pre-
mier Bonar Law when the latter ad-
dresses it Saturday. and as Parliament
will adjourn then until February Is
there is no danger of its being recon
voked merely to send a formal protest
should France act.
Poincare insists that he has not
abandoned one iota of Frances right tc
individual action, but has gained def
mite victory in reopening the question
of meeting the Franco British debt with
German c bonds.

Premier Poincare is still determined
that there shall be mo moratorium

erte says, 1T is clear that IL guaran-
ties are abandoned or even If there
is no longer belief in the usefulness
of seizing guarantees, then there is
nothing left. Reparatiocs will become
nothing more than dream, with

allied debts predicted upon reduction

tion of French finances. repeats NO

says: 1T would not help the French

there is so much talk about the Ruhr,

MILDEW ON CLOVER
THREATENS DAMAGE

WASHINGTON, August 21.-(By
Associated Press The first infesta-
ton of mildew on red clover in this
country this year has appeared east
Of the Mississippi from Wisconsin to
Georgia, says report Of the agricul-
tural department. This mildew makes
the plans look white. Last fall i
was quite prevalent in the South and
is worse there this summer.
The amounc of harm it does is a
question yet unanswered, it was said,
and the department is anxious to
learn of effects noted Some reduc-
ton in the yield of hay is due to it,
but this is not great There are ru-
mors, however, that eating of mil
dewed hay causes inflammation in
horses mouths. The Ohio expert
ment station reports a quotation that
widowed clover hay causes stomatitis
in horses.
The exact identity of mildew on

In Keeping Labor Peace In

BOSTON, August 21.-Survey
committees of the Unitarian Lay

rlsted taeir reports of $50 surveys,

which exists in every single case" was
announced by the League as fol
lows:
The managers have acted upon
their consciousness that all who worK
in their organizations are fellow hui

of the managers is also the spirit Of
the great majority of the workers.
''The Unitarian Laymen's League is
not equipped to make a complete
canvass of all the concerns in the
United States and Canada IN which
industrial harmony prevails, but GER
tainly the fact that, in every case re-
ported, success in business and indus
trial harmony have gone hand in hand
with action based upon the principles
of mans brotherhood with man, is d
straw which probably indicates the
direction of the wind"
These surveys were authorized by
the annual convention Of the Lay
mems League, held in September,

which 1876 of the Leagues PAP chap

NO EXTRACALL
BY GOVERNOR
Despite Failure Of Legislature To
Pass Revenue Bills, No Addi-
tionaI Session Planned

ATLANTA, August 21.-Gover-
nor Hardwick will not call an extra
session of the legislature because of
the failure of the state auditor bill
to pass the senate on the last night
of the session, he reiterated today.
The governor stated that the fail
ure of the auditor bill was a serious
blow at his efforts to place the fiscal
affairs of the state on a sound basis,
and Of course, he was disappointed
but he did not believe this bill alone
would justify him in summoning an
extra session. He expressed the
hope the bill would pass next year.
AS to the bill appropriating 81 -
100000 to Confederate veterans,
and the deficiency appropriation bills
aggregating more than 100000,
Governor Hardwick stated that he
would carefully ascertain the exact
present status of the states finances
and the prospective revenue the bal
ance of the year and next year, be-
fore taking action on any of the
appropriation bills.
Undoubtedly Governor Hardwick.

admit, he will put through really
