Franco-Beligian
ENJOYS Demand
That Ruhr Yield
German Reparations Proposal
Will Be Shelved Until
Terms Met-Plan TO
Increase Pressure.
By international News Service.

Brussels, June 6.-France and Bel
gium today decided not TO examine
the German reparations proposals un.
til the Germans cease their passive
resistance against Franco Belgian &C.
cupation of the Ruhr. said an official
communication this afternoon. II was
the first session OF the French dele
gates. headed by Premier Poincare,
with the Belgian enyoys headed by
Premier Theunis.
1t was decided TO increase the Sc
verify OF Franco Belgian pressure
against Germany.
Earlier In the day It had been re-
ported that the French and Belgian
delegates would review the proposals
made by the Germans in the latest
Preparations note.
by International News Service.
Berlin, June s.-The new German
reparations note. which has Just been
dispatched TO the allied capitals, does
not ask for a moratorium, but sug-
gests a breathing spell before pay
ments begin. It was learned this after
noon.
II made no mention OF passive re-
sIstanee. nor did Il mention n specific
sum. 1t In understood the failure
to request n moratorium was due TO
the conviction that the French will
stay In the Ruhr until the pediod OF
time for payments has elapsed.
The communication avoided con-
troversal issues. II was explained In
official circles that the government
did not mention an enlarged figure
because IL wants TO escape the aceu-
sation that this is the last offer or
that Germany IS insincere.
The amount Germany can pay is
left to an international commission
of experts. Demand was made that
Germany have equal representation
on this commission.
The note was largely an amplinea.
tion and explanation OF the preced.
ing reparations note.

The poem follows:
Howard is a household word
Ger this section of the south,
With voice that must be heard.
As she warns, with wisdom m 8
mouth,
R-einterpreting to all
Daniels writing on the wall.
She should educate Alright,
Under Gods divine DEGREES,
Men and women, seeking light,
Measured to them In degrees
Emphasizing, as she should
Right, the guardian of all good.
Scholarship, with all it's charms,
Can't ignore religions truth
Hope and faith, loves anxious
arms,
Only can safeguard our youth
Only can make safe, secure.
Life on earth, and keep 1t pure
