French, Belgian and German
PremierS Fails Today

However, Have Not Been
Abandoned

LONDON, Aug. IA (By The Asso-
ciated Press)-The deadlock be-
tween the French and the Germans
on the question of the time limit for
the military evacuation of the Ruhr
Is imperilling the success of the in
ternational conference. 1t was indi-
Gated today after hurried meeting
of the French. Belgian and German
premiers at Downing street early
this morning had failed to produce
tangible results.
Delegates to the conference hope
and expect, however, that American
or British intervention will save the
program which the Allies have
agreed upon for instituting the
Dawes reparation plan.
After the meeting between Pre-
mier Herriot of France, Premier
Theunis of Belgium, and Chancellor
Marx of Germany, which lasted
about twenty minutes, American
Ambassador Frank b. kellogg and
American Representative James A.
Logan, Jr., rushed to the American
embassy and Joined Owen d. Young
and the other American experts on
the Dawes plan to consider what
action they might take to solve the
new complications.
The Germans returned to their
hotel where direct cables to Berlin
carried the news of the unfavorable
turn in the conference to the men,
bers of the German cabinet at the
other end of the wire. After a brief
German cabinet meeting, negotiated
by the cables which were exchanged
directly with Wilhelmsstrasse Chan
cellor Marx and Foreign Minister
| Stresemann returned to Downing
street at 1880 o'clock.
On his return to his hotel after
| the morning conference M. Herriot
said: 1.-The Allies are with us and
| we are in complete control of the
| situation"
At 2:15 o'clock, Chancellor Mar,
visited M. Herriot at the latter''
| hotel. 1t was intimated that the
! German chief delegate might have
brought with him the German an
| swer on the all-important Ruhl
| question.
American Ambassador Kellogg is
sued a statement through the EN-
bassy denying absolutely a published
report to the effect that he had issuet
| ali ulllIildluIl " tie 1SIIIldIlS All sup
| port of the French plan, providing ;
| year for the military evacuation o
the Ruhr. Mr.. Kellogg's position, 1
| is stated. is one of neutrality regard
| Ing this issue.
Later. Chancellor Marx said tina
! he could not accept on his own au
thority the French proposal tha
the military evacuation of the Ruhl

| signing of the protocol in London
1t was announcer that DR.. Luther
| of the German delegation would q
to Berlin to consult with Presiden
Ebert and the leaders of the parties
! and that the Germans would Civ,
| their answers.
/ The deadlock, it is explained,
| over both the date on which tn
evacuation will begin and on tn
1 duration of the evacuation. TIL
Germans have been insisting that
should begin Immediately and shoul
be completed by January. Tn

evacuation should be completed no
later than one year from the dat
of signing the protocol embodyin
