fuse to participate in the British
plan for settlement of the Ruhr and
reparations crisis if it involves the
question of allied debts to this eoun.

French Circles
Apprehensive in
Ruhr Stu a ton
BY WEBB MILLEE-
United Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, July 1S.-French off,
cial circles are displaying appre-
hension over the Forthcoming Brit
ish note to Germany, a draft of
which is to be forwarded here.
Only the most reserved com
ments are forthcoming. A consider
able portion of the press sees in
the British move to reach agree
ment on reparations through other
means than force in. the Ruhr, a
scrapping of the Versailles treaty
and an end to the entente.
The Journal Industrielle, which
speaks for the industrialists and
finaneiers of France, charges Great
Britain with seeking to create two
interpretations of the Versailles
treaty--one a British version, bring
ing i'll the other allies; another, is
olating France and depriving this
country of support of the allies
against Germany.
Britain would nullify the treaty
as regards France, but continue her
self to benefit thereby" the paper
says.
Premier Benes of Czecho- -Slcvak-
ia. who has been busying himself
with attempts at mediation left to-
day for Brussels, refusing to dis
cuss success of his efforts this far.
Make Last Changes
LONDON, July 1S.-Last minute
changes were made today in the
draft of the British note to Ger
many on the subject of reparations
In consequence final approval of
the cabinet will not be obtained
until tomorrow and delivery of
copies of the note to the various

mean, a majority of citizens who saw

plays an important part in the spec

A few persons thought it might be
