THREATENS
 TO DROP HER ALLY
X. Bonar Laws Letter Is Interpreted As Threat To Make French
 Give In.

London, Oct z. - (By Associated Fress)--A sensation has been caused by letter from Andrew Bonar Law, upholding the British governments attitude in the Near Eastern crisis which is given conspicuous publicity in all the London newspapers today.
 The announcement is widely held 10 be equivalent tc a direct threat to withdraw the British troops from the Rhine and completely terminate the entente unless France comes into line with the British policy in the Near East.
 Bonar Laws position as potential head of potential conservative gov ernment in the near future and his intimate relations with several of the present cabinet ministers are regarded as giving his view special weight.
 Indeed 1t Is surmised that the cab inet members, especially Premier Lloyd George and Colonial Secretary Churchill, had something more than mere previous knowledge of the launching of this utterance at the moment of Foreign Secretary Curzon's mission to Paris.
 We are at the straits and Constan- tinople" says the letter, but not by out action alone, but by the will of the allied powers which won the war and America Is one of those powers.
 We cannot alone act as policemen of the world. Our duty will be to say plainly to France that If she is not prepared to support us we shall be unable to bear the burden alone. but we shall have no alternative except to
