TT SEEMS likely that the crisis in
= the contest between France and
Germany win come sooner than had
been expected, but the nature of the
settlement, If one Is reached, is as I'M
certain as it, ever has been. In other
words, the two contestants show no
sign of approaching an agreement, and
from no other source has there APP
peayed plan that seems likely to be
adopted. It may be the whole thing
will be put up to Uncle Sam, and that
the solution will depend on his willing
ness to sacrifice large part Of the
war debt owed him by Europe in re-
turn for German bonds of so little
probable value that they might be
considered mere scraps Of paper.
Premier Poincare, speaking at the
unwilling Of a war memorial in Dun
kirk, uneqnivocally pledged the
French government to compel Ger
many to pay the PREPARATIONS and swore
that the occupation of the Ruhr and
Rhineland should continue until the
payments have been executed. He
gave warning that unless the mu-
nitions manufacturing centers in the
Ruhr were held, Germany would be
ready in 1925 to refuse all payments
and to defy the allies. ! s
Berlin reacted strongly to this
speech, which the German government
denounced as sermon of violence"
Foreign Minister Won Rosenberg made
a long address to, the reichstag in
which he repeated the oft-heard as
sertion that the French policy contem-
plated absolute paralysis of Germany's
economic life. He rejected the de-
inand Of the German Socialists that a
definite financial offer. be made to
France, but he then became rather
more conciliatory and seemed actually
to be extending hand Of peace. "TheI
peoples of Germany and France said
he. shave only one choice-either to
live together or go down to ruin to-
gether. If France would make up her
mind to recognize. Germany's right to
life and liberty and respect Germany's
territories and rights of sovereignty,
and that her German neighbor does
not dream Of wounding Frances sensi-
bilities or sense of honor, then the ice
would be broken. Then might be full
filed the dream of new era of pros
perity and happiness for Europe from
cooperation Of the German and French
peoples"
Baron Won Rosenberg called on the
civilized world to support and on
France TO accept the plan suggested
by Secretary Of State Hughes. that
an international court of financiers
be established to determine what Ger
many has paid in the way of repara-
tions. what she can and shall pay fur
ther, and how, the payments can be
accomplished. If this plan were
adopted. he said. Germany would ask
an International loan and force her In
dustry to give security for it. and thus
obtain immediate cash for the allies.

TREATY IGNORES
 OPIUM TRAFFIC
REPUTED OVERSIGHT IN LAUS- ANNE PACT LEAVES ILLICIT
 TRADE WIDE OPEN

LAUSANNE August 16-It was sud denly discovered Tuesday chat The Hague opium convention had not been included in the Turkish peace treaty, which has recently been signed. This oversight is causing intense concern in America since all the opium used in the United States both for illigiti- mate purposes and legitimate purpos- es. comes from Turkey anc Tersia, ana sufficient pressure has never been put on either country to make them curb production or control their exports.
 Almost all of the opium smuggled into the United States comes direc; from Turkey, via the Basic district of Switzerland.
 Neither allies nor America are now in a good position to enforce The Hague convention, which establishes a severe control over optums in Fur key. which draws a large revenue from poppy production.
 The allied delegates say that to have forced The Hague convention on tne Turks might have delayed the signing Of peace.

KALISPELL, Mont, August 16-A prediction of the failure of the Russian Soviet government was made by Bur ton K.

 While he said that cooperative mar keting by farmers, with special legis- lation to stabalize wheat prices until foreign markets are reopened, is nee essarv for the restoration of the Am erican farmers prosperity, Senator Wheeler declared that farmers are partially to blame for conditions thru their failure to take an intelligent in terest in politics.
