English Channel and let France go
on alone.
The United States has contin-
uously demanded that the question
of the European debts to America
be considered and settled quite
apart from the question of repara-
tons by Germany. After months
and indeed years-of resistance to
this idea and of continuous CONVEX
sation in favor of general can
collation. or scaling down of debts,
the British government came to
Washington and made a complete
British-A debt settlement
with not one word in it about
other debts or about PREPARATIONS.
Sustains Hughes Views.
Hughes communicated to the
French and afterwards TO the
world the gravest doubts as to the
practical value of the present
French forcible measures for col
'lecting PREPARATIONS, and he said
that the actual question was the
question of how much money or
goods Germany. actually could pay.
Lloyd George, who once was going
20 collect the whole cost of the
whole world war from Germany,
IS today in Washington taking the

position essentially that has been
/ taken by Hughes from the start
of the discussion.
/ Today Hughes insists upon it
| chat the settlement of Europe, so
| far as the United States is con-
cerned, shall not be q. political
question but simply and solely a
business question. On that point
/ it is perceived here that the Amerf-
can public should be put on its
guard against misinterpreting the
words American helpfulness" as
used by Hughes and by Colonel
1t can be stated with the most
absolute authoritativeness that the
only helpfulness" which the Ameri-
can Government contemplates or
is willing to contemplate, toward
Europe is the inclusion of non.
political Americans in a non-political
international expert financial con-
ference for estimating the amount
OF Germany's capacity to pay
and for reporting that amount to
their respective governments with
no obligation upon the governments
to accept the report.
The United States would not
commit itself to enforcing the re-
port or for that matter to doing
| anything. else further about 1t
whatsoever.
Crux of "Helpfulness."
Colonel Harvey's speech day be-
fore yesterday, with it's broad
language about "helpfulness, did
not change this situation. nor was
1t intended to change it. The
helpfulness" which the United
States proposed to Europe, and
which President Coolidge is willing
to extend, consists simply of par
ticipating in a non.political non
entangling expert study of Ger
many's business condition.
1t may be further absolutely con-
fidently understood that the bit.

American cities is emphasizing that
view OF the matter; but the result
is not thought here to be likely to

A merely business calculation of
Germany's capacity to paw ia

question of the League and the ques-
ton of the Court are receding fast
into the background. The historic
significance of Lloyd Georges visit
here today is that it symbOEzes the
beginning of a new phase in which
questions of joining this sort or that
sort of Internal onal club are getting
subordinated rapidly to the ques-
ton: What views, what policies, are
you going to support, whether You
Join the club or not?
On that point the great world con.
test now is between France on the
one hand, supported by its ring OF
little European allies, such as
Czechoslovalxia, and on the other
hand the United States. supported
and followed more and more by
Britain.
Interest Is Increasing.
The trailing of American policy by
British policy is regarded here with
an interest which increases day by
day.

CALLS DOCTOR
WHEN POISON
PAINS
Physicians Arrive in Time to
Save Miss Roberts From
BichIoride Death.

Unable to withstand the tor
turous pains that bichloride Of
mercury tablets had caused, Miss
Mary Roberts, twenty-seven, OF
apartment %, $3.50 Q street
northwest, last. night asked her
roommate to call a physician. Po-
lice say two tablets of the poison
had been taken.
The roommate. Miss Lena Cush-
man. summoned the Emergency
Hospital ambulance, but MISS hop-
erts refused to permit the physician
on the ambulance to treat her. She
directed that Miss Cushman sum-
mon. Drs. J. j.. Mccarthy, or the

ard. of the Gotham apartments, l949
Calvert street northwest.
The physicians applied emergency
treatment and then pronounced MISS
Roberts out of danger.
Seventh precinct police are 1nVcS-
| tigating the case to learn Two
things: How Miss Roberts came
into possession of the poison ana
why she wanted to take It.
MISS 1tODSflS lOlO tic pOAASyc eAA - |.
she got two tablets of bichloride OF
mercury from a friend. She re-
| fused to say who this friend was or
whether the friend was a man or
woman. Police searched the apart
ment carefully but were unable to
find any bottle that might have
contained the poison.
That Miss Roberts may have
been. disappointed in love is one
of the police theories. The fact
! that the tablets were given to her
| makes this supposition seem not
unlikely. Headquarters detectives
will see Miss Roberts today to learn
the details of the case.

BLACK BEAR CAPTURED
ON MUCH-USED ROAD

KANE, Pa, Oct. ga 150-pound
black bear has been captured within
ten feet of the State road between
Kane and Mount Jewett. The aver
age motor traffic over that section
Of the road at that hour of the
evening is ten cars a minute.
The animal was first seen in a
field on the farm of Charles
Gustafson, who with Ivan Peter
son started after it. The bear
climbed a tree, but the men threw
sticks until it left its perch,
scrambled down and was seized.
The bear put up a lively fight
and bit and clawed the hands of
its captor, but Peterson succeeded
in holding it until his companion
brought a rope and the animal
was made prisoner.

lughes' and Lloyd Georges
Policies for Reparations
Virtually the Same.
By WILLIAM HARD.

~ NNAAAAZA0A AA<AASASs
Lloyd George arrived here to-day
nd found the following interna-
onal situation:
The British government and the
merican Government are in es-
entail agreement regarding the
uhr and regarding German repa-
ations.
The French know that the
British views and the American
news are essentially the same, and
before the French have been all
he more reluctant to consent to a
conference in which the weight of
the United States would be added
10 the weight of the British En-
pire against France.
Views Held Similar.
The Lloyd George visit here to-
day. combined with the speech
made day before yesterday by the
American ambassador, Colonel Han
|vey, in london, is taken by COM
|mentators on the continent Of l1u-
rope as emphasizing the similarity
hnd even the identity of the views
held by the British and American
governments on the. topic of repara-
ions and on the topic of the value
e trying to collect reparations by
Orce.
The visit here by Clemence9u of
rance revealed no tie of practic-
BILE understanding between Paris
nd Washington. The visit Of
lloyd George is rapidly and thor
1ghly revealing the potential ex-
tence of much a tie between
ashington and London.
This is because London has more
Id more approached the position

acy of Great Britain has more
more taken the color Of the
plomacy of the United States.

at Lloyd George looks upon the
