Washington, May 19.-(AP)-The first break in the tangle of inter- allied war debts was seen by high government officials here today in the determination of Belgium to take independent steps in negotiat- ing a refunding settlement with the United States.
 Optimism Is Reflected.
 In official quarters the informa- ton conveyed from the Belgian for eign office in last nights dispatches was accepted as being highly signifi- cant, since Belgium must be classed as one of the major debtors to whom the United States extended financial aid.
 The Belgian statement to the As- sociated Press created a feeling of optimism at the treasury.
 Will Sail June g.
 At the Belgian embassy 1t was said today Ambassador r. Mar chienne would sail for home June g. The whole Belgian debt sltua- ton is expected to be taken up by him with his government at that time.
 It was believed here that Bel gtum's plans had been held back by the recent ministerial crisis but Under-Secretary Winston of the treasury observed on his recent visit to Brussels that the feeling was evi- dent among the government leaders that definite moves toward laying out a debt program should be made. The under-secretary believes that with a balanced budget, such as has been accomplished, Belgium will take more rapid strides toward 8 sound economic basis. The state ment that Ambassador Cartier De Marchienne was sailing for Brussels Is believed 10 indicate that the of fictals in Belgium now see a more

PUTNAM LOSES ITS
 FIRST HOME GAME
Tourtellotte Proves the Better Team In Close and Fast
 Contest.-Score 26-17
Second Half Rally Wins For Visitors
 Biggest Crowd of Season


 Their usual second half rally gave Tourtellotte Memorial Highs basket ball five a victory over Putnam High when these two rivals met at the local gym last Friday evening. Over 250 people. the largest crowd of the season alternately eheered and sat in stony silence as their favorites held or lost the advantage. Through out 1t was close and interesting game.
 Tourtellotte nearly always held the advantage, scoring only momen. or so after the opening whistle on a field goal by Coderre. Just before the close of the first half Putnam tied the count at seven all. and thus 1t stood through the intermission.
 In the last sixteen minutes of play the game took on decidedly Tourtel. lotte aspect. Their guards seemed to be able to stop the Putnam at- tack without very great trouble, while Chubbuck's reach and the accurate basket shooting of Coderre and Rave nelle put the visitors into a safe lead.
 To the onlookers there was no doubt but that Putnam was outplayed by a superior team in that second half Tourtellotte we'll deserved to be the first team to conquer Captain Kings five on it's home floor.
 Murphy was Putnam's high scorer with six points, but he wasn't up to his usual form. Bove played hard game. but redamaged his sore finger so that he is lost for the rest of the season. King and Barber stopped the Tourtellotte attack many times.
 The Putnam Hi-Y club was the winner over the high school seconds in an interesting preliminary. Dane ing with music by students of the school followed the games.
