case were not divulged.
Another suit to collect $4,041 ,907

FRANCE IS At WORK
ON DEBT PROBLEM
Plan Funding of War ObIiga-
tons; Poincare Seeks to
Disarm Critics

PARIS, Dec. 15.-The possibility
of early funding of frances debt
to the United States is being con-
sidered in French official circles, it
was learned here today.
For some time past it has been
known that Premier Poincare de-
sired to find a way Of disarming his
critics VINO have animated that the
French government is indifferent to
the nations war obligations and
Secretary Hughes recent stateme mt
that there exists no desire to push
France into early payment has led
to a belief here that satisfactory
funding arrangements can be made.
1t is believed that the funding
plan to be proposed to the Wash
ington government, will allow the
debt to run during many years, with
its retirement provided for in easy
stages over the amortization per-

COTTON BREAKS OVER

HEDGE PRESSURE IS FELT
Caused BY Pressure
Resumption of Trading May
Restore Values

NEW YORK. Dec. 10. (By Asso-
ciated Press.l-A severe break in
cotton sending the March market
down to 1925 and May to 33.45
occurred on the local market to,
day. The break represented 50
points less overnight and practically
$14.5G bale loss since government
crop estimates were reported. The
chief reason f9r The decline was the
withdrawal of mill buying and
Southern hedge selling pressure.
The market has vacillated for the
past few days, suffering a severe
downward trend from the high lev
els reached, but during the past day
or two has scared again. The
break came UNEXPECTEDLY today,
and it is believed that resumption
Of the mill market would bring the
commodity back back 30 normal.
