PARIS. Dec. 12.-(By Associated Press)-There is a disinclination in British attitude toward the settlement of inter-allied debts and the disposition shown in London to take an active in terest in the prospective funding nego- tiations between Frnace and the United States. There is no concealment, how ever, of the surprise caused by intima- tions that the United States cannot al- low France more favorable terms than those granted Great Britain.
 It is recalled that France was neither consulted nor informed when Premier Baldwin went to Washington to nego- titate the funding of the British debt.

well compiled and present new
feature in the business directory at
the back of the book, where the
various businesses of the valley are
gathered under their own distinctive
heads. This compilation will no
doubt find much favor with busi-
ness men and result in great conve-
nience and time saving.

in the valley has now passed the

change showing the highest num-
bcrs of subscribers, totaling over

The growth of telephone subscrib

approximate increase of zoo new
