lent officer. lie is no stranger to

office. Chief Barker also com
mcnded Reynolds and stated though
he would regret to lose his services,

PROVISIONS OF PACT
TO GO BEFORE SOLONS


By WILLIAM j. LOSH
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON Oct. "A pro-
visional five-year truce on settle
ment of the 4,2oo,oOo,o0O French
debt to the United States will be
laid before congress and the French
parliament as the sole result of
eight days of stormy negotiations
here between the American and
French debt funding commissions.
If ratified by both, France will
pay to the United States 100000
000 a year for the next five wears.
At the end of that time the queS-
tior- of full payment of the debt
viii be reopened, if not before.
On Brink Of Failure
This stop-gap 'basis of settle
mont was proposed to the French
mission by the American commits
sion yesterday when the negotia-
tions stood at the brink of failure
and was accepted by Joseph Gail
larX, minister of finance of Franco,
with the plain statement that he
could not agree to it, but would
submit it to the French government.
C;illauX left Washington for France
by way of New York at 7:45 Il.
NJ. today.
The negotiations failed of their
major objective. which was full and
final settlement of the whole debt,
but members of the American COM
mission say that the negotiations
cannot be considered entirely Il
failure. The . continuity of nego-
tiations is preserved by the truce
and the next stage, if the proposal
is ratified, is five wears hence
when full payment will be again
discussed.
If the proposal fails of ratifica-
tion either in congress or in the
French parliament, the status of the
debt is identical with what it was
before Minister Caillaux came to
the United States and the negotia-
tons in the case will have ended
in complete failure.
To Urge Ratification
The administration is expected to
recommend ratification of the ten
tative settlement when congress
convenes this winter, because il WAS
advanced in good faith by the
American side aS temporary ar
rangemcnt for disposition of the
debt question.
, The $4o,o00,o0o annual payment
is to be considered as full annual
interest on the entire French debt
each year the temporary arrange
ment runs. constituting, as the
American commission points out,
about one per cent annual interest
on the whole obligation.

CLEANUP DRIVE
SCHEDULED HERE
FOR NEXT WEEK
All Citizens Are Urged
To Cooperate in
Campaign

Under the auspices of the Ell Cen
tro fire department and the Cham
ber of Commerce, cleanup cam
paign, under the supervision of
City Engineer knights, will be con-
Quoted in El Centro next week in
conjunction with the observance of
National Fire Prevention week.
All residents and property own
ers in FL Centre are urged to CO.
operate in the campaign by clean
ing up their property and houses of
all rubbish. The city will furnish
wagons which will visit all points
of the town on Saturday, October
10, for the purpose of collecting
rubbish accumulated in the clean
up campaign.
For several years past, the clean
up campaign has been unusually
successful i'll FL Centre, this city re-
ceiving national prominence for the
wor accomplished i'll the 1923 cam
paign. The National Board of Fire
Underwriters, through its maga-
zine, made particular mention of Ell
Centre as being a clean city, with
minimum fire hazard because of
rubbish. i&4 4
Boy Scouts to Aid
The aid of Boy Scouts and school
children will be enlisted to make
the campaign a success, and talks
on the necessity of fire prevention
and removal of rubbish will be Civ
en- ut the city schools.
Statistics compiled by the Ma
tional Board of Fire Underwater
show that each day the fire loss in
the United States amounts to
81 ,466,77+.44 and that Al people
lose their lives daily, in conflagra-
tionS. The same statistics prove
that much of this loss could be eli
minated by practicing "safety
first = methods, and by the remoV-
al of rubbish from places where they
can catch fire In dwellings alone
the fire loss in a wear is estimated
to be $65.000,000, representing
1875, ,035 fires. One fire occurs every
four minutes day and night, some
where in the United States.
1t is to bring home to the people
the foolish extravaganza of waste
through fire that National Fire
Prevention Week has become an es-
Established custom in this country,
