ssyXIAIT just little longer, and
w the German government will
capitulate" is the appeal of France to
the allies. But the British are about
out Of patience with the delay OF the
Quai d'Orsay In deciding whether to
accept their draft of the reply to Ber-
lin. 1t was stated In Paris that the
French and Belgian governments had
reached an agreement on all essential
points, but the foreign office made
guarded official statement that sepa-
rate negotiations would be conducted
by France and Belgium with Great
Britain. The Belgian reply already
has been prepared. 1t holds, with
France, that there shall be no evacua-
tion Of the Ruhr until passive resist
ance ends and reparations payments
are made. but on some points 1t de-
viates from the Poincare policy.
In England the belief prevails that
the French seek to postpone the an
swer until parliament rises on August
2 for Its autumn holiday so that in
conclusive conversations with the
British government may be continued
without demands by parliament for
quick action. At the close of the week
II was said there might be an ex-
plosion of anger over this In the house
of commons within few days, and
that the government would not try to
prevent such an outburst.
This is what Belgian authority
says of the situation: "The tendency
of Brussels is to consider the British
note as basis for discussion. We
believe Lord Curzon and Mr.. Baldwin
are willing to yield on certain points
on which NJ. Poincare is adamant and
to compromise on the Two view
points. An investigation of Germany's
capacity to pay may be CLOSED over
by permitting the reparatIons commits
sion to cali in various experts, includ-
ing American and maybe Dutchmen
and Swiss, to study the problem. the
findings being merely submitted to
the reparations commission for final
action"
NJ. Poincare told his cabinet the
situation In the Ruhr was improving
and called on Minister of Public
Works Letrocquer TO confirm this.
Seven hundred trains are operat-
ing daily in the Ruhr-30O passenger
and 400 freight" said NJ. Letrocquer.
Business is increasing so that 1t will
be necessary to increase the trains to
1000 soon. A month ago 21.OO0 Ger
man passengers weekly used French
military operated trains, while now
5000 use them. Essen. Bochum, and
Dortmund are the biggest patronizers
OF the railroads. proving the weaken

HARDING FORCED
TO CANCEL TRIP
DOCTORS ORDER ABANDONMENT
OF CALIFORNIA PROGRAM,
DUE TO ILLNESS
CONDITION IS SERIOUS
ALL PLANS CHANGED As coNDl.
TIoN OF PRESIDENTS HEALTH
/. CAUSES ALARM

NaA rIdhCisCo.-lu IOTWdl STATE
ment issued here, President Harding
announced the cancellation of "his en-
tire California program
The decision of the President was
made known after conference be-
tween the executives physicians and
some of his advisers, who discussed
the condition of the President result
ing from the attack of ptomaine poi
soning from which he has been suf-
fering for the past three days.
The following statement was issued /:
1.-The President is deeply apprecia-
tive of the fact that the people of
California and its great cities have
planned series of magnificent demon
strations in honor Of his visit.
He realizes the great inconveni.
ence imposed on public authorities,
volunteer committees and the people
In general by reason of uncertainty
whether the program in which he was
to have participated can be carried
out. He has been particularly con-
cerned to avoid the possibility that
many thousands would travel long dis
tances and then be disappointed.
Accordingly, after full considera-
ton of all circumstances he has de-
sired the statement made public that
by advice of his physician he will not
attempt to carry out the program ar
ranged for him for San Francisco.
Moreover, the President is reluc-
family persuaded that 1t will be nec-
essary to- cancel the entire California
program"
No thought was given at the con-
ference which preceded issuance of
the statement to any substitute for
the Cancelled California program, and
1t was said that the chief executive
would remain in San Francisco until
he completely recovers his health.
How long the President might stay
in San Francisco no one, not even his
physicians, was prepared to say, but it
was generally agreed among those in
the presidentiw party that tonight's de-
condition was worse than had been
generally DelloVGu.
General Sawyer, In discussing the
Presidents condition, said that the di-
rect cause of his illness lay in some
crabs which were put aboard the navy
transport Henderson in Alaska and
which the President ate.
Grabs and fish taken from Alaskan
waters," General Sawyer said, some
times are tainted by copper. 1t is pos
sible that those crabs which were put
IN the transport and which the Presi
dent ate, were of that sort"
The sudden change from Alaskan
climate to the warmer weather encoun-
Tered in Seattle, upon arrival there,
General Sawyer believed, also might
have weakened the President. Lack Of
physical exercise during the long
transcontinental trip, and the voyage
to and from Alaska is also believed to
have rendered the President more sus-
ceptible to an attack Of the sort from
which he suffered. The belief was ex-
pressed by some of those close to the
President that in addition to cancella-
ton of the California program the wa
ter trip to the Atlantic coast by way
Of the Panama canal probably would
be abandoned also.

County Superintendent Alice Bur.
nett presided all day Saturday over a
hotly contested case concerning the
proposed alteration OF the boundaries
of the Hotchkiss school district.
There were about $50 witnesses pres
ent and the case lasted from morning
till after supper. 1t seems that a
certain group Of people in a part of
the Hotchkiss district would like to
have that part Of their district taken
from the Hotchkiss district and added
to the Hurst-Laxear district. In the
original petition this group had the
majority but since then some have
withdrawn their names and some
have moved away 80 that II was found
that there are IS for and 68 against
the proposed change. The decision
rests with the Superintendent and
will probably not be handed down for
some time.
