FRANCE REBUKED
BY SEC'Y HUGHES
U. S. Official Tells Jusserand
French Are Blocking Any
Possible Aid.
AMERICA HAS REACHED LIMIT
Paris Governments Attitude on Ger
man Preparations Has Killed All
Chances for Assistance, is White
House lntmation.

Washington, Jan. g. Secretary
Hughes informed Jules Jusserand,
French ambassador, the uncompromis-
ing attitude of France was blocking
any possibility thlt the United States
might aid Europe in reaching a solu-
ton Of the reparations question.
The information was given the
French diplomat during a long confer
ence at the State department.
simultaneously, it was learned at
the White House that President Hard
ing regards the Preparations question
as having passed beyond the realm OF
the Preparations commission provided
in the treaty Of Versailles.
This view contradicts the French
position that the question must be
considered in accordance with the
strict provisions Of the treaty.
The United States holds the opin-
ion that reparations must be discussed
from the standpoint of what Germany
is able to pay without reference to
drastic provisions Of treaty which
the American congress refused to
ratify.
The conference between the Secre-
tary and NJ. Jusserand followed a
series of meetings between the Presl-
dent, Mr.. Hughes and Col. George
Harvey, ambassador to Great Britain.

VETOES PENSION BILL
President Harding Returns Bur-
sums Measure Unsigned.
Declares He Recognizes No Public
Obligation to Women Who
Marry Veterans.

washington. Jan. 4.-Civil war and
Mexican war veterans are not to en-
Joy the pension increases provided by
the Bursum bill, recently enacted.
This result is due to the veto OF the
measure by President Harding.
The President, Ill brief message
yetoing the pension Increase act,
charged that the act "makes no pre-
tense of new considerations for the
needy or dependent. no new generosity
for the veteran wards of the nation;
it is an outright bestowal upon the
governments pension rolls, with
heedlessness for the governments
financial problems, which is discour-
agement to every effort to reduce eX-
penditures and thereby relieve the
federal burdens of taxation
"The more particular objection to
the act, however, lies in its loose
provision for pensioning widows. The
existing law makes the widow OF
Civil war veteran eligible If she mar
ried him prior to July q, 1905. The
act required herewith extends the
marriage period to June 27, 1915, and
provides a pension of $50 month for
the widow for the rest of her life.
"Franlzly, | do not recognize any
public obligation to pension women,
who now, nearly sixty years after the
Civil war, become the wives of veter-
ans of that war;"

ENTENTE DEBT
FARLEY FAILS
London and Paris Split Over
Collection of Rep
arationS.
BONAR LAW LOOKS TO U. S.
British Delegates Quit Conference at
Paris and Leave for London
France Takes Measures for
Occupation of Ruhr

Paris. Jan. 5.-The allied premlers,
conference ended in complete dis
agreement. Failure Of the entente
that won the war to agree on a joint
method of collecting the spoils from
Germany brought the latest European
economic parley to failure. Britain
and France were unalterably opposed
as to how the reparations payments
Should be collected.
The conference came to an end IN
the following manner:
Poincare asked for fiat yes or
mo" on acceptance of the French plan
for protective guarantees, which ne
characterized as the minimum to
which France would agree.
The conference adjourned for an
hour to give the British chance to
consider this point. Emerging from
the British meeting, Bonar Law said
calmly to the correspondents
''You may say the conference is
over"
The end was forecast when the
British announced the refusal to ac-
cept the French plan and the French
rejected that of Great Britain
A final effort to bring the two to-
gether was made by Italy, whose
spokesman offered the Italian plan as
a compromise.
But the conference was unable to
agree, and the British left for London,
possibly to consult with the United
States regarding international action
such as was proposed by Secretary
Hughes, while the French began prep
arations to act alone
Measures, such as are usual in the
time of crisis, were taken by the
French military authorities at May
ence as soon as news Of the break
down in the premiers' conference in
Paris became known, says a dispatch
to the Journal from Mayence. The
dispatch adds that headquarters sent
orders to all of the troops to remain
in barracks ready for all eventualities
and that the. men on leave of absence
were recalled.

French gold deposits placed in Eng
land as security for war debts due
from France has been exported en-
.tiselxAk@ the United States during the
war in payment for munitions for the
French, and thus this guaranty in
